With her arm around Song Jingwan, Zhou Manli's every sentence was either 'precious' this or 'baby' that. But when she saw Huo Ningxi step out of the car from the corner of her eye, she lit up and became even more enthusiastic.
"Ningxi, did you bring Wanwan back?"
With this thought, she completely forgot to question Song Yaoyao about not riding back in the same car as Song Jingwan.
She pounced toward Huo Ningxi and warmly invited him into their home.
"Old Song! Hurry out, Ningxi's here! Someone, go fetch the Young Master!"
"Auntie, that's not necessary..."
Huo Ningxi wanted to reject the offer but Zhou Manli was much too enthusiastic. Then, when he saw Father Song, Song Rui, come out to greet him as well, he immediately swallowed back his words.
"Ningxi, thank you for escorting me back." Song Jingwan said gratefully as she approached Huo Ningxi and walked side-by-side with him back to the house.
