Chen Wanqing had originally planned to wait for Mrs. Zhao and Xiang'er to finish talking before going inside. However, before their conversation ended, Zhao Jing and De'an entered from outside the small courtyard.
De'an saw Chen Wanqing and called out, "Wanqing, are you sunbathing? The sun is quite nice today. We've rarely seen such a bright, sunny day since autumn began."
Zhao Jing, however, glanced thoughtfully at where Chen Wanqing was standing, then at Xiang'er, who had just rushed out of the room looking flustered, a guilty 'I've messed up' expression on her face.
He had his suspicions, but he didn't voice them.
Walking up to her, he asked Chen Wanqing, "When did you wake up, Wanqing? Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Not yet. What about you two? Have you eaten?"
"We've all eaten. Only you haven't. Why don't you wait inside, Wanqing? I'll have someone bring you some food."
