Winter had set in, and the outdoor temperature was freezing. Chi Yue, dressed warmly, still felt like she had entered an ice cellar the moment she stepped out of the car. Qiao Dongyang stood in the draft, surprisingly wearing very little, just a pair of jeans and a thin jacket. He looked spirited and handsome but clearly not dressed for the cold. Instead of a greeting, the first thing he did upon seeing Chi Yue was sneeze loudly.
"You're finally here. If you hadn't come back, I would have had to pick you up from your mother's house."
"..." Chi Yue intended to retort, but the mention of "mother-in-law" made her hold back.
"Have some shame!" She cleared her throat and walked past him without looking, "Mr. Qiao, are you wearing so little as a form of exercise?"
