"Young Master, Young Madam, I've prepared the food for your picnic,"
Madam Zhang said as she came over with a beautiful basket in hand when she saw them descending the stairs.
"Thank you."
Qiao Chutian took the basket from her, holding it with one hand and pushing Mai Xiaomai out the door with the other.
"Madam Zhang prepared the food, so you must have planned our outing long ago, didn't you?" Xiaomai asked with curiosity.
"Yes. I thought you'd get bored staying home all day and surely would want to go out for a stroll. Of course, the most important thing is that I want to enjoy the feeling of a romantic love date with you."
"You've been plotting for a while, huh?"
"Of course."
"You cunning old fox."
"For you, I don't mind being a cunning old fox."
