A bowl of porridge took half an hour to finish, and Ming Yan's complexion had grown even rosier. Lu Yin could not hold back and kissed her.
Ming Yan glared at Lu Yin reproachfully, though she was not angry. Her eyes turned fluidly, and she inadvertently revealed a charm even more alluring than Nalan Fairy's. Lu Yin stared, dumbfounded. "Yan'er, you're so beautiful."
Ming Yan's heart trembled with secret delight. She lowered her head. "Big Brother Lu, what brings you here?"

Lu Yin smiled apologetically. "That's true. He is my father-in-law. Sorry, Yan'er. Big Brother Lu was wrong."
