Cheng Su finished marking the last day of September on the calendar and cheered inside; barring any surprises, Qi Taiguo would be back in the next few days.
Excitedly, she cleaned the house from top to bottom, taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather. She washed and dried the bedding, made everything neat, and bought fresh flowers to adorn the house, making it bright and clean, ready for the man's return at any time.
Compared to Cheng Su's excitement, Hualing felt that something was a bit off these days. No, to be precise, it was Chen Shouwang who was off.
Who knows what happened, but he seemed dazed every day, sometimes needing to be called three or four times before he responded, as if he'd lost his soul.
"Are you hiding something from me? You seem so absent-minded all the time. Did something happen?" Hualing asked him.
Chen Shouwang's heart skipped a few beats, but he forced a smile and said, "What could possibly happen? You're overthinking!"
