Tong Yao's face immediately darkened. "Tong Aino, what the hell is going on between you and Connie? How does a honeymoon end with someone disappearing?"
"I've been through all the major events in life; now I just want to start living for myself..."
"Smack!" Long Che raised his hand and slapped him.
Tong Aino winced in pain.
"Speak properly! Stop making your mom worry!"
Tong Aino rubbed his head. "Connie went back to Laman. I didn't want to go, so I came back myself."
Tong Yao angrily slammed the chopsticks onto the table. "What kind of nonsense is this? The honeymoon just ended, and now you're going your separate ways?"
"Mom, you don't understand. Connie's been so nitpicky lately, every single day... I can't talk about this in front of everyone. I'll tell you privately later." Tong Aino accepted the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by the servant and devoured the food like someone who hadn't eaten in ages.
