When Mu Jin Huan got home, Aunt Zhou was setting the table in the dining room.
Hearing the door open, she quickly put down what she was doing and ran to the entrance, taking out the slippers and placing them by his feet.
Mu Jin Huan changed his shoes, went to the living room, poured a glass of water, his Adam's apple moving as he drank, and by the time he set the glass down, its level had dropped by half.
He looked around but didn't see her, so he asked Aunt Zhou, "Where's Wanwan?"
He left work on time today; usually, at this time, she would be in the living room, having prepared tea for him, waiting for his return.
Aunt Zhou replied, "Madam is in the study."
Except for meals, she had stayed in the study all the time, despite the beautiful daylight, not even going for a stroll in the backyard. She probably hadn't recovered from the fright yet.
Mu Jin Huan stretched his long legs and went upstairs.
