"Huh?" Qin Zhi'ai's question had caught Lu Bancheng by surprise. He paused for some time before eventually replying, "They did marry. I had thought so initially anyway. But I found out not too long ago when I was drinking with Brother Sheng that the certificate he had back then was not an actual marriage certificate."
What do you mean it wasn't an actual marriage certificate?
Qin Zhi'ai's fingers quivered slightly, and her heart clenched tightly at that instant.
Lu Bancheng was about to continue, but the waiter had walked over with his pushcart to serve them their dishes, so he stopped himself. After the waiter had left, as he urged Qin Zhi'ai to help herself to the dishes while they were hot, he noticed her quizzical gaze at him. He finally picked up from where he'd left off.
