Once they were away from the crowd, Xu Yuan turned around to look at her mother-in-law. She noticed that the elder woman was rubbing her arms and realized that she might have tugged her mother-in-law's arm a little too tight.
"Xu Yuan, why are you so fierce?"
Her brow furrowed. Xu Yuan stepped forward to look at her mother-in-law's arm. Seeing the redness around the area made her heart ache.
The frustration she felt earlier had suddenly disappeared. "Does it still hurt?"
Yao Ying shook her head. "It's fine."
Xu Yuan pursed her lips as she started to rub her mother-in-law's arm. "Mom, I'm sorry."
Yao Ying heaved a sigh. "It's really alright."
The atmosphere between them two was very quiet. They could only hear the chattering voices of the guests from far away.
Yao Ying could sense that Xu Yuan seemed to be upset and did not dare to say anything.
