The following day, Su Jing woke up early, intending to prepare a hearty breakfast for her family.
Su Shen had not returned home the previous night, and when he did arrive in the morning, he found Su Jing busily working in the kitchen. He had no intention of disturbing her, instead planning to go upstairs to check on Gu Zi.
Upon turning around, Su Jing caught sight of Su Shen's figure. Gathering her courage, she called out to him, "Brother, sit down and have something to eat. I have something to discuss with you." She served a plate of breakfast onto the dining table, her gaze following Su Shen.
On the rare occasions that Su Shen and Su Jing conversed, it was the first time she had asked him to sit down for a chat. He complied, peeling a boiled egg as he spoke in a deep voice, "Go ahead."
