"Xiao Yuan, I came this time intending to take you with me."
"It was only when I arrived here yesterday that I found out you were already married."
"You have two choices now: leave with me, or stay here at the Qingshan Team?"
Xia Qiuming got straight to the point.
He laid the choice before Leng Yuan.
He explained,
"I only have one day here on this trip, and I have to leave soon. If you decide to come with me, you'll have to leave right away."
At the door.
Just as Gu Jiaojiao returned, she overheard Xia Qiuming's words.
The hand she had raised to push the door open froze. 'Maybe I shouldn't go in right now.'
Gu Jiaojiao pulled her hand back. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a low, firm voice from inside the room.
"That won't be necessary, Uncle."
"She's here, so this is home."
After he finished speaking, Leng Yuan looked at Xia Qiuming, who seemed unsure how to apologize, and his expression softened.
