"Greetings to the City Lord, Steward Zhou."
Sikong Lian waved his hand and asked, "Is Young Master Xu still inside?"
"He's been inside all along," the guard replied.
"Since I went in, he hasn't come out again."
"Go inside and inform him that the City Lord wishes to see him," Steward Zhou instructed.
The guard dared not hesitate and swiftly ran into the courtyard.
A moment later, the guard emerged first, followed closely by Xu Zimei strolling out leisurely.
Only to see Sikong Lian with hands behind his back, sizing up Xu Zimei.
As Sikong Lian scrutinized Xu Zimei, Xu Zimei looked back lazily, having just woken up.
"Are you the husband my daughter chose herself?" Sikong Lian asked directly, without wasting any words.
"When did you two meet?"
"If I say it was love at first sight, would the City Lord believe me?" Xu Zimei chuckled.
"You better think carefully before answering me," Sikong Lian said lightly.
