"Argh..." Mu Xiangwan wailed, her face covered by her hands. She had half a mind to wrangle her cousin, "Mu Xiangwu, I won't teach you how to paint anymore! Furthermore, I curse you; may you never succeed in pursuing that girl!"
"Haha! Sorry, little cousin, I've already gained her affections. I just wanted to paint a picture as a symbol of our commitment!"
"Son, are you dating? Why didn't you tell me? Where is this girl from? Bring her home when you have time for me to meet," Mu Xiangwu became too smug, forgetting that the room was filled with people. His mother's voice came from the kitchen door and caught him off-guard.
"...Mom, I was just kidding." Knowing that his mother was nosy, he had kept his love life a secret from his family for fear of exposure. It appeared that doing wrong deeds always had its consequences.
"Whom are you trying to deceive! I've suspected something was off about you lately."
"..."
