"She's not a child; it shouldn't be that exaggerated."
Upon entering the north gate, they were in the main hall where Lu Xiao's mother quickly asked her to take off her clothes and take a hot bath in Lu Xiao's room to get some good rest.
After a good sleep, they prepared dinner.
Faced with Lu Xiao's overly enthusiastic mother, Wen Xian clearly found it hard to cope but felt awkward to ask why exactly.
Because once she did ask, she didn't know how to address Lu Xiao's mother. Could she really start calling her... Mom?
Wouldn't that seem a bit too forward?
Lu Xiao lived in the eastern wing of the house.
After arriving in his room,
"Xiaoxian, mom won't bother you anymore; go inside and rest well, I'll make you something delicious," she said.
After his mother left, Wen Xian finally took a deep breath, closed the door, and then rubbed her cheeks, which were stiff from smiling.
My goodness.
Why did she feel more and more that something was not quite right?
