The color slowly drained from her face.
Old Madam Xi immediately lowered her teacup.
Xi Ronghua pressed her lips together.
Gu Yue looked away.
Xi Qianqian suddenly became very interested in a flower nearby.
Because everyone knew exactly what was about to happen.
Inside Su Yueqing’s mind—
[...What?]
A brief pause followed.
Then—
[WHAT?!]
The scream nearly exploded inside everyone’s heads.
Several people almost flinched.
[No.]
[No no no no no.]
[Absolutely not.]
[Who made this decision?]
[When was this discussed?]
[Why was I not informed?]
[Is this legal?]
Gu Yue immediately lowered her head to hide her smile.
Xi Anran’s shoulders trembled.
Even Old Madam Xi had to cough into her sleeve.
Meanwhile, Su Yueqing was rapidly descending into panic.
[Living there?]
[Living with Xi Wenzhe?]
[Every day?]
[Every morning?]
[Every evening?]
[In the same residence?]
[Under the same roof?]
[Breathing the same air?]
The more she thought about it, the paler she became.
Lin Meiyun maintained a perfectly calm expression.
Unfortunately, that calm expression only made Su Yueqing panic more.
Inside her mind, countless thoughts exploded one after another.
[No.]
[This is bad.]
[This is very bad.]
[This is disaster-level bad.]
[This is "pack your belongings and run away during the night" bad.]
Xi Ronghua nearly laughed.
Gu Zhen immediately nudged her under the table.
"Control yourself."
"I’m trying."
"You are failing."
"I know."
Meanwhile, Su Yueqing’s panic continued escalating.
[What if he suddenly appears every day?]
[What if he keeps asking strange questions?]
