About half an hour later, Wang Shufen came back carrying some groceries.
"Mom, let me help you," Ye Ling said.
"No need, no need."
Wang Shufen said with a smile, "There are still guests at home. You go and keep them company first."
"Okay then."
Ye Ling nodded.
After brewing a pot of green tea, Ye Ling poured a cup for both Li Dazhu and Shen Yuexin.
"Shen, what brought you here today? Logically speaking, you shouldn't be visiting a small place like my home," Ye Ling remarked.
Shen Yuexin glanced at Ye Ling and said, "If you don't welcome me, I can leave right now."
"How could that be?"
Before Ye Ling could speak, Li Dazhu said, "Miss Shen, don't listen to Ye Ling's nonsense. This guy never says anything nice. Having someone as important as you visit us is truly..."
At this point, Li Dazhu suddenly stopped.
Ye Ling and Shen Yuexin both looked at Li Dazhu in surprise.
Li Dazhu poked Ye Ling gently in the side and asked in a low voice, "Lingzi, how does that saying go?"
