His gaze drifted to the kitchen, where he could hear the sound of running water. Lin Xi was diligently washing the dishes. The flash of red he'd seen lingered in his mind, making him restless.
Just a quick peek. Lin Xi probably won't find out, right?
Xue Yang fidgeted, feeling hesitant and conflicted. He recalled the guarded look in her eyes at the school gate earlier. Clearly, she didn't want him to know what was in her bag. If he looked anyway and she found out, she would be heartbroken.
After hesitating a moment longer, reason prevailed. Xiao Xi must have her reasons for not wanting me to look. I should respect her wishes.
Xue Yang took out his phone. A new WeChat message from Xue Yuanqing was on the screen. He opened it.
"Hey, stinker, show me what my daughter-in-law looks like, or I won't be able to sleep tonight."
