"Mommy," Mandy walked over and quickly linked both of her arms into her mother's, "Don't nag at Qing Qing, already."
She pointed her chin at Shao Yan, "Let's not scare your daughter in law away," and then pretended to whisper in her ears albeit loudly, "She has not even entered our family's door yet."
Shao Yan was looking really nervous, and that was why Mandy tried to ease the air around them by teasing her own mother. But upon hearing what Mandy had said, Shao Yan could not help but feel more shy. The blush on her cheeks turned deeper red.
Li Xiqing glanced at her embarrassed face while holding back his smile. He then moved to his father, "Pa!" And wrapped him into a brief hug, and Father Li patted his back in return.
After he let him go, Father Li faced the still red-as-apple Shao Yan and gave her a gentle smile.
"Uncle, how are you doing?" She greeted him with confidence, "Nice to meet you."
