When Yu Zhen entered the dining room accompanied by none other than Li Xueyue and Li Chenyang, silence ensued. A vein popped on Li Wenmin's forehead, whereas the Duchess was too stunned to say anything, and the Duke continued sipping his tea as if he was waiting for the drama to unfold.
"Well, this is a very… pleasant surprise," Duchess Wang Qixing spoke up, pausing in the middle of her sentence to find the proper words to describe this unexpected encounter.
