"Angry? Not quite!"
Xu Yuehua looked at Jiang Xiaobai, her expression visibly softening. "But... do I really look that young?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Xiaobai wore an utterly earnest expression. "When you and Weier stand together, you look just like sisters!"
"Good thing Brother Li warned me in time. Otherwise, I really might have caused a misunderstanding!"
"Hehe, you certainly know how to flatter someone!"
Xu Yuehua laughed aloud.
"By the way, Auntie, how do you usually take care of yourself?"
Jiang Xiaobai continued, "You simply must teach Weier someday!"
"Well..."
Xu Yuehua shook her head gently. "I don't really do anything special!"
"What!"
Jiang Xiaobai looked astonished. "You look this good without doing anything?"
"It seems... you're a born beauty, Auntie!"
"Ah, my future father-in-law must have been blessed by his ancestors to marry a wife like you!"
"You little rascal..."
Xu Yuehua's smile deepened. "You really do have a slick tongue!"
"Auntie, this isn't sweet talk!"
Jiang Xiaobai looked perfectly serious. "Even if other people begged me to say these things, I wouldn't!"
"It's only because I saw you, Auntie, that the truth just kept spilling out!"
"All right, all right!"
Xu Yuehua smiled and shook her head, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai. "I heard from my husband that you and Weier are already engaged?"
"That's right, Auntie!"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded. "Weier and I love each other. With both families bringing us together and His Majesty's approval, the engagement was finally settled!"
"Ah, really, I should have told you about this in person too!"
"But Weier said you were at your sect and couldn't easily travel, so I didn't want to trouble you. Now, at last, you've come back!"
"Hiss!"
Listening beside them, Li Zhixing sucked in a sharp breath.
This Jiang Xiaobai was too damn good with words!
