Mei Wanying was no longer unmoved. Pei Yan felt he had done the right thing.
'She really does like this face of mine.'
He felt a flush of embarrassment, and the tips of his ears grew red-hot.
He brought a fist to his lips and gave a fake cough. "Why didn't Lingling come?"
'All the better that she didn't!' he thought.
It was easy for him to see his daughter, but for Ah Yin to seek him out of her own accord was as rare as the sun rising in the west.
'It's rare for me to be alone with Ah Yin. I can't let a child ruin the moment.'
Mei Wanying didn't beat around the bush with Pei Yan. "Where did you hide Gu Xun?"
The man's expression froze.
The upward curve of his lips slowly flattened. Jealousy churned in his eyes, and though he did his utmost to restrain it, traces still leaked through.
"You came to find me just for Gu Xun?"
Mei Wanying had other matters to discuss, but she wanted to resolve them one by one.
