Mo Zhuer stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes carrying a smile as gentle as water.
“Let’s go to the courtyard. Don’t disturb Shengsheng’s sleep.” Xu Ming glanced at Mo Zhuer before walking straight out of the room.

The two sat on the stone bench in the courtyard. Xu Ming brewed tea while Mo Zhuer rested her chin on her white, delicate palm, gazing at Xu Ming with a faint, teasing smile, as if she were observing something amusing.
“How did you sneak in?” Xu Ming poured himself a cup of tea, not bothering to spare her a glance.
