"Please, come sit down and rest, Young Master."
Before Liu Erlong could say anything more, Liu Mei'er had already darted in front of her and begun fussing over Ye Qiu.
"Mother! You—"
Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes widened slightly.
Was this really the mother who had taught her since childhood to be wary of strangers? Her mother should have long since passed the age where she could not move at the sight of a handsome man, right?
"Auntie can just call me Xiao Xiu. I'm no noble young master."
Ye Xiu smiled.

Liu Erlong quickly followed after them. When she glared at Ye Qiu, she immediately did not dare look at him for long and turned away her face, which was covered in rosy clouds.

"Hmph! When they really want to raise a hand, they won't care whether we're smiling or not."
Liu Erlong snorted softly.
Ye Qiu smiled and agreed,
