Pang Xiao was worried that Sun Yue would become desperate and harm Pang Zhi upon knowing he had returned, so when he contacted Pang De earlier, he deliberately revealed that he wouldn't be back for another week. Pang De didn't think much of it, but Sun Yue kept it in mind.
It was precisely because she knew Pang Xiao would be back soon that she decided, no matter what, to eliminate the possibility of Pang Zhi awakening this time! But how could she have known that Pang Xiao was lying about the timing!
Of course, she couldn't be blamed for being stupid—Pang Xiao was just too cunning. When he told Pang De this story, he acted particularly regretful because he couldn't return earlier, displaying a facade of despair as if he was helplessly dragged by matters. Otherwise, Sun Yue would not have believed him.
