After dinner, once Shi Yong had left, Widow Xie helped clean up before taking Xiao'an and Hua home as well.
Hu Ximei and Hu Dacheng had already left earlier. They had to deliver a meal to Granny Xie.
Hu Liang stayed behind. It seemed he had something to say to Ji Huan.
However, he sat there for quite a while in complete silence.
Ji Huan pretended not to notice his troubled expression and didn't press him.
"Wan, I... It seemed to me that you didn't really like doing business before."
After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out that sentence.
This was clearly not what he really wanted to say.
She had no idea what was weighing on him so heavily that he couldn't bring himself to say it, beating around the bush even when the words were on the tip of his tongue.
Ji Huan saw through him but didn't expose him, simply playing along. "It's not that I love it, but I don't hate it either. As long as I'm not spinning like a top all day, it's acceptable."
