Entering the room, Zhao Tiezhu saw Wang Cuilian leaning against the bedding, her gaze drifting as if her soul had wandered off. She clearly looked burdened by something.
Noticing Zhao Tiezhu enter, she hurriedly sat up and said with a touch of feigned anger:
"Didn't I tell you to eat first?"
A rosy flush spread across her face involuntarily, and her eyes flickered and dodged, not daring to meet his gaze.
Zhao Tiezhu was quite bewildered and asked curiously:
"Why aren't you eating with me? Is something the matter? Does your head still hurt? We really can't buy this wine anymore; it's terrible!"
He made random guesses, longing for a response. Seeing this, Wang Cuilian felt significantly more at ease, yet also a bit disappointed.
