He let go of her right when Mom came in with the bowl of lotus root starch.

"Mr. Chi, your lotus root starch is ready." Mom smiled as she placed the bowl of lotus root starch in front of Chi Yu.
Chi Yu thanked Mom warmly, and she replied, "You're welcome." She was about to leave when her gaze landed on Gu Yuan, pausing for a moment. Gu Yuan, of course, noticed the slightly unusual look from Mom and followed her gaze down to herself.
Then her face darkened.
Chi Yu!!!
Gu Yuan gritted her teeth in silence as Mom shifted her gaze away, stifling a laugh as she quickly jogged out.
Gu Yuan raised her hands to tidy her collar, remembering how Chi Yu had just been playful, yet she forgot to check if she looked presentable.
Well, she forgot for a moment, and it was quite unpresentable.
