Lu Xiao said she was done with Lu Huan and simply ignored her, heading straight upstairs to change before coming down to heat up some food.
Seeing her leave, Lu Huan flopped onto the sofa in a huff. One side of her face was still swollen, but she was already trying to tattle on Lu Xiao to Lu Ge Wei.
She gave her an embellished account of how Lu Xiao had hit her.
But for whatever reason, Lu Ge Wei didn't reply.
When Lu Xiao came back downstairs, she saw Ares in the kitchen cooking noodles. A warmth spread through her chest, and she walked over with a smile. "Didn't I tell you to go upstairs and rest?"
"But you're still hungry." She had mentioned wanting cold noodles back in the car, but they'd been delayed and she still hadn't eaten. Ares didn't say it outright, but it was clear he felt bad for her.
Lu Xiao understood the meaning behind his words and smiled. "Thank you. You should have some with me. We can call it a late-night snack."
