A hint of shyness colored Xiao Wan'er's slightly pale face. "I don't deserve Little Sister Qingwu's praise, I was just, just..."
Before she could finish, Chen Yunfan came bustling in from outside.
As he walked, he shouted, "Chun Ying, where on earth are you? Hurry up and bring me some tea!"
Though Chun Ying in the middle courtyard didn't hear him, Lin Zhong did. After a quick reminder from him, Chun Ying called back, "Please have a seat, Young Master. I'll go prepare it right away."
Chen Yunfan was about to continue swearing, but when he turned his head and saw Xiao Wan'er, Cui Qingwu, and the others, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
"Miss Xiao is here too? Qingwu, it's getting so late. Why didn't you ask Miss Xiao to stay for dinner?"
Cui Qingwu shot him a reproachful glare, her eyes carrying a hint of affection as she said, "Sister Wan'er is afraid her family will worry, so she insists on going back."
