"Lulu, when I ask you this question, you must answer honestly, without any hidden details."
The serious expression on Xia Zhiqiu's face made Xia Lu's nerves tighten.
"What is it that's so serious?"
Taking a deep breath and mentally preparing herself, Xia Zhiqiu finally asked the question she had been holding back all dinner, as if afraid of hearing some terrifying answer, "Is there something between you and Mr. Ye?"
Xia Lu stared with wide eyes, intently looking at her mother, "Something?"
Xia Zhiqiu observed her, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"What I mean is, your divorce from Mr. Zhou wasn't related to Mr. Ye, who brought you home today, was it?"
Hearing this, Xia Lu's already wide eyes widened a third further, "Mom, what are you thinking?!"
"Really not?"
"Really not!" This time it was Xia Lu's turn to be upset, "How could you think that?" Compared to feeling helpless, she was more shocked.
