Chapter 817: Unexpected Gains

"Sijie, where are you off to?"

One morning, Song Xiaodong, noticing that Li Sijie was all dressed up, casually asked her.

Li Sijie replied, "I have an uncle who just happens to live in Minghe, and with the New Year approaching, I'm planning to visit him early to pay my respects and buy him some gifts."

"You have an uncle in Minghe?" Song Xiaodong asked in surprise.

"Yes, my own uncle. We didn't visit much previously due to the distance, but now that we're in the same city, I really should go see him."

Song Xiaodong immediately said, "A mother's brother is important! Since he's your own uncle, I must come with you; it would be impolite not to."

"Ah, no need, you're so busy. It's just visiting a relative; you don't have to go out of your way for me." Although she said this, Li Sijie's face clearly showed delight.
