"Without your reminder, even your Uncle Yan wouldn't have thought of this. In the end, it's all thanks to you; I've been keeping that in mind." Zhuang Xiyue had her own way of weighing things, but whenever she dealt with Yun Ya, that balance seemed to automatically tip in her favor.
"By the way, Aunt Zhuang, why haven't I seen Brother Yan recently?" Yun Ya asked as if it were an afterthought.
"Oh, he's gone to the Capital City to take care of some business. Why do you ask about him?"
"When I was tutoring Brother Yan in English, I borrowed a book from him. Now that I've finished reading it, I've been wanting to return it, but I haven't seen him around…" Yun Ya made up an excuse, knowing Zhuang Xiyue wouldn't delve into whether she had actually borrowed a book from Yan Song or not.
