Chapter 528 Outside the Courtyard

Although it had been such a long time, the three's interaction patterns hadn't changed from their days in Wanxiang City. Xu Yuan and Xu Xinyao walked in front while chatting, and Ran Qingmo trailed behind, silent as a sulky gourd, only uttering short phrases like "Oh," "Alright," "Hmm" when occasionally mentioned.

The trio quickly arrived at the main courtyard, crunching over the snow. As soon as they pushed open the door, Xu Yuan saw Xu Changge, clad in azure-glazed finery, gracefully setting porcelain bowls on the table one by one. A large plate full of dumplings already took the center stage, flanked by an assortment of morning snacks, likely all made by Xu Changge himself.

Approaching closer, Xu Yuan noticed that Xu Changge had also thoughtfully prepared dipping sauces for the three of them.

Xu Yuan's dipping dish was spicy, Xu Xinyao's leaned sweet and sour, while Ran Qingmo's was a neutral vinegar dish, since her preferences were unknown.

Domineering but attentive.
