"You're starting work tomorrow, so you won't have time to hang out with us anymore. It's a real shame. I wanted to invite you earlier, but because..." Murong Qing smiled but still expressed some regret after laughing, maybe a bit careless, so she let it slip.
Go Biqing understood the meaning behind her sudden pause, so he said, "I've been busy dealing with my father's affairs before, so naturally I had no time. Now that I'm working, I have even less time. I have to work hard for my meal and stomach; if I starve to death, you won't even have the chance to play with me anymore."
Regarding this little joke, neither Murong Qing nor Zhou Jiaying laughed, but because of Murong Qing's slip just now, the atmosphere was still slightly awkward.
"Bro, what does 'affairs' mean?" Suddenly Gwen asked.
Go Biqing was taken aback by his sister's question, feeling tense but unable to find a good answer. A direct response would be too cruel for Gwen.
