Pei Dong Shi wiped his mouth and pretended not to notice Old Lady Bo's wolf-guarding gaze.
He said politely, "I won't disturb you anymore, I'll take Jiaojiao back with me."
"Back?!"
Old Lady Bo was good at nitpicking. "Back where? Where do you two live?"
Pei Dong Shi remained composed, "We've been staying at Mist Garden these past few days, my master's place. Jiaojiao hasn't been sleeping well recently, and I asked my master to treat her. She has gotten used to falling asleep with incense burning at night. I could go and fetch it for her, but even if it's a three-hour trip there and back, plus it's not that late now, all this delay could cause her to have another bad night of sleep."
Old Lady Bo: "..."
She was speechless.
She tried several times to speak, but Pei Dong Shi kept cutting her off before she could, as if he knew exactly what she was going to say.
Do young people talk so elaborately these days?
