"So…" Duchess Wang Qixing chirpily said, "The Commander, huh?" She winked when Li Xueyue glanced out the window, preferring the scenery of passing greenery. The Li Manor was located far out of the Capital, in the safe confines of a well-guarded plot of land.
"Which one?" Li Xueyue replied with a slight smile, earning an excited squeal from the Duchess.
"Which one did you think I was referring to?" Duchess Wang Qixing laughed, her face eager and impatient. She was excited that her two years of tending to a flower had paid off.
Li Xueyue shrugged. "I can't read minds."
"Oh, but you can read yours," Duchess Wang Qixing replied.
"But I'm curious about which Commander you had in mind."
Duchess Wang Qixing grinned, pinching Li Xueyue's cheek. "Quite a clever girl you are."
Li Xueyue beamed in response, her large smile reached her eyes. "I learned it from you."
