Yu Yuanxi watched Song Wenye with a faint smile across his lips. Clearing his throat, he looked her in the eye and said, "Go and have a rest. I'll manage everything out here."
Song Wenye was not going to leave him to it on his own. There was a lot of work to be done; from tidying up the table and mopping the floor to washing all the dishes. "I'll join you."
Knowing how she was, Yu Yuanxi did not turn down the offer. Gently bobbing his head, he had a feeling that the whole family deliberately left him alone with Song Wenye in the house.
This realization did not go unnoticed by Song Wenye either. Not one to hide her thoughts, she blurted out the question in mind. "Say, do you think they ditched us together on purpose?"
Yu Yuanxi nodded. "I think so too."
Song Wenye was fuming. "How could they! They didn't even ask me to join them in walking the dogs."
