Lù Yue'an tugged Shi Qingyue's arm. "Grandpa won't know if you don't tell, right, Mommy?"
Shi Qingyue had little choice but to nod and agree. "Alright, fine. Then don't be too late, today's your big day."
Lù Yue'an nodded and smiled sweetly. "Then can I invite Brother to my banquet tonight? I promise I'll be discreet, I definitely won't let anyone discover him!"
She looked at Shi Qingyue with a pair of innocent eyes. Shi Qingyue did not agree, but she did not say anything either.
"Try not to attract too much attention; have him leave after you cut the cake. You mustn't let your grandfather find out, understand?"
Lù Yue'an immediately nodded. "Thank you, Mommy! Mommy's the best!"
As she spoke, she gave Shi Qingyue a peck on the cheek, turned around, and ran out.
Shi Qingyue touched the spot where she kissed her, and smiled. She turned around and went back to work.
