When Qiao Yujuan opened the door and saw the person standing outside, she was taken aback.
"Mom…" Xiao Yichen called out.
Qiao Yujuan snapped out of her daze and gazed at her son-in-law, responding, "Yichen, you're here."
"Yes, is Wan'er at home?" Xiao Yichen asked his mother-in-law.
Qiao Yujuan hadn't intended to turn her son-in-law away and replied, "She's at home. Come in."
Xiao Yichen nodded politely and entered with his mother-in-law.
While carrying the dishes and cutlery she had finished using, Lin Wan was on her way to the kitchen when she heard someone enter. She paused, turned to look at the door, and saw Xiao Yichen.
Instantly, Lin Wan stopped in her tracks. After looking at Xiao Yichen for a moment, she averted her gaze.
Qiao Yujuan noticed the tension between her daughter and son-in-law and understood their thoughts. However, regardless of the circumstances, her son-in-law was still a guest in her home.
