Controlling Emotions

The two of them stepped out of the private room only to unexpectedly run into a familiar face head-on—the owner of the bridal shop, Uncle Li.

He wore a Chinese tunic suit and exuded a gentle and courteous demeanor. He often frequented this tea house with friends for tea and light refreshments.

Although the first encounter between Lin Miao and Gong Zhan's second visit to his shop resulted in Uncle Li speaking harshly to Lin Miao on behalf of Gu Zi, they were acquaintances now. Moreover, he was also acquainted with the Gu family. It wouldn't do to continually show a cold face to their biological daughter, as it would make him seem petty.

Upon spotting Lin Miao, he naturally greeted her, "Dining with friends?"

Lin Miao felt a bit flustered but couldn't just leave after being addressed. She smiled, "Yes, Uncle Li. We have some urgent matters to attend to."
