At Grandmother Han's stern comment or more like a warning, Cheng Zixing cleared her throat and forced a smile, " Mother, you're misunderstanding my words. I was just joking and trying to join the conversation. That's all."
"However, it seems like whatever I speak here will be misunderstood." She glanced at Xu Nuan who didn't even say a single word tonight and was pretending to be a nice girl all of a sudden. So fake!!
Cheng Zixing smiled bitterly as if she was the victim of everyone's rude comments and added, " I better go and check if the servants have prepared the dinner table." As said this, she stood up and went inside the kitchen.
However, even after she left, it took some time for the atmosphere to change its flow and return back to the normal bickering session between Xu Nuan and Han Liang.
