'So he wants me to stay.' Qiao Wei felt a secret thrill of delight. She had eloped with Jiang Yuan, after all. How long had it been? For her to come home alone in disgrace so soon would be a huge blow to her pride.
"What is it?" Qiao Wei asked, her face falling.
"I suggest you look in a mirror before you leave," Jie Jingchen advised kindly. The way Qiao Wei looked right now, she would scare people on the street.
"How boring." Qiao Wei rolled her eyes, picked up her luggage, and strode away with an air of proud confidence.
Jie Jingchen frowned slightly. If Qiao Wei wouldn't take his advice and was determined to go out and embarrass herself, there was nothing he could do. Besides, she was the one who would be humiliated, not him.
Jie Jingchen sat in the living room for a while. When Qin Mei still hadn't come downstairs, he put down his newspaper and strode upstairs.
Back in the room, Jie Jingchen saw Qin Mei sleeping soundly on the bed, and his gaze softened.
