The weather on National Day was really nice, crisp and refreshing with the sky a clear shade of blue.
After breakfast, when the sun was at its fullest, the ladies of the house came out to sit in the courtyard, passing the time with casual conversation.
He Jiarui pulled Xia Zhi to sit with her on a loveseat, and they chatted quietly.
"Jiarui, I'm so grateful for your company. Otherwise, I'd be restless," Xia Zhi said to her with gratitude.
He Jiarui smiled at her and replied, "Second sister-in-law, I understand your difficulties. I don't want to make my second brother uncomfortable, and I quite like you too. I'm just doing what I should. Don't mind mom's temper, and you don't have to care about He Jiabi either. I don't see eye to eye with her, and her day to suffer a loss will come."
She sincerely added, "As long as you and my second brother are doing well, that's all that makes me happy."
