"Auntie, Uncle is here!" Fu Xinwu exclaimed excitedly, grabbing Nan Fei by the arm, "I never expected Uncle to be dining at the Royal Palace too, what a coincidence."
Nan Fei abruptly snapped back to reality, slowly revealing a radiant smile as brilliant as spring flowers towards Huo Beijiang, who stood at the staircase entrance.
"Bei Jiang, someone bullied me," she said softly, the first time she had ever lodged a complaint so openly and confidently.
She remembered how Bei Jiang used to mock her for not knowing how to tattle, not giving men a chance to show off. She just knew how to go headfirst into trouble.
It felt really good to be able to tattle.
Nan Fei gazed at Huo Beijiang, her smile growing even sweeter.
Listening to his wife's melodious voice, Huo Beijiang's icy expression relaxed, a gentle smile slowly spreading across his handsome face. He swiftly descended the stairs, his tall figure seeming to bring the wind with it.
