Chapter 800: When the Time Runs Out (4)

"Zhang Jiren didn't come with you today? Is he busy?" Tang Moyu asked her friend when she noticed that she barely saw or heard anything about her twin brother. 

The smile on Li Meili's face slightly faltered which Tang Moyu didn't fail to miss. The empress wondered what was happening between the two now. Did her best friend finally find out that Zhang Jiren was in love with her? She wondered. 

"En. He said he wouldn't be able to join us today, which is alright," Li Meili answered. This wasn't the first time Zhang Jiren didn't come with her and her daughter, but she found it weird that her best friend's cold attitude towards her husband had changed into concern. 

To be honest, these days Li Meili felt she was lucky if she could speak with Zhang Jiren for a few minutes. Zhang Jiren was barely at home these days and would come home late at night when she and Leyan were already deeply asleep.
