The question sent everyone into a temporary utter silence.
Zhou Anran broke into cold sweat. It was the question she dreaded the most that would come from Su Wan, but…
She was also worried Su Wan might find the silence disrespectful, so she wanted to answer it quickly, yet her mind was also totally blank.
Su Wan stared at everyone in bewilderment.
"Auntie Su, our father… went missing some years ago," Xiao Yuxi answered. "He went to the back mountain and never returned."
Upon hearing that, Su Wan's hands flew to her mouth, and her face was instantly filled with remorse. "I am sorry for asking you such a question, Sister Anran."
Zhou Anran heaved a sigh of relief, sending her daughter a look of approval. "It's alright, you didn't know."
Anyway, her husband was currently living well.
Not long after, Xiao Jingran returned. He helped to prescribe medicine for Su Wan before the latter returned home.
