Chen's mother picked up the teacup and took a sip of water before continuing to observe the two of them.
From the moment they came in, their hands had been clasped together without parting, and Chen's mother's gaze lightly rested on their interlocked hands.
Chen Zhi subconsciously tried to withdraw her hand, but Si Ye held it even tighter.
"Mom, we have something to tell you today…"
Chen's mother raised her hand to interrupt her. Not daring to look at Si Ye, she could only fix her gaze on Chen Zhi, "Tell me, where did you go last night without sleeping at home?"
Oh no, her mother had indeed discovered she hadn't slept at home last night.
Chen Zhi's eyes flickered guiltily for a moment, "I slept at home last night, it's just that I got up early in the morning, so you didn't know I had gone out."
