My dear mother ——2

Yin Zhu took in a deep breath as she climbed up the stairs after Situ Mu Yan, making her way towards the doors which were opened for the guests. As she arrived in front of the doors, Situ Mu Yan stretched his hands out for Yin Zhu to take like a gentleman. 

She noted how Situ Mu Yan was dressed to perfection even though he had been beaten black and blue earlier. Though he still looked a bit roughed up, he was cutting a better picture than her who was dressed in a maid's uniform, her light navy blue skirt and inky skirt seemed completely out of order in the presence of Situ Mu Yan.

" You look lovely," as he took her hand, he told her with a soft smile.
