Helping Her Father

Xiang Ling thanked the stall owner for the tea he served them before she turned her full attention toward Zhu Peng who had been waiting for her to start speaking the reason for which she asked for a moment with him. Still, she took her time and sipped the tea to refresh herself a little bit. The warm liquid made her feel instantly better.

"Miss-"

"I'm Chen Xiang Ling." Xiang Ling interrupted the man before he could speak any further. It was a must to let him know about her identity before talking about anything else. "I'm County Magistrate's only daughter."

Zhu Peng seemed completely shocked after she introduced herself. He didn't even try to close his jaw that was hanging open as he stared at her for a couple of minutes before he finally shook his head as if to get rid of the shock.
