"Sigh..." Wang Xiao shook his head, his gaze inadvertently landing on Seraphina's heaving chest. Turning away, he commanded, "You two, go and play outside."
"Mm," Wenxi acknowledged, promptly turning to open the door and leaving without hesitation. Yue followed, but not before her eyes lingered on Seraphina, as if measuring her up.
Once both had left, Seraphina could no longer contain herself.
She moved back and sat on her bed, clicking her tongue in annoyance. "Why have you come back to bother this old woman? Shouldn't you have abandoned her by now? She was enjoying a peaceful life!"
Her words tumbled out more like a grumble, as Wang Xiao absentmindedly cleaned his ears, already ringing from her complaints.
"Are you done?" he asked.
"You—!" Seraphina couldn't believe it; he wasn't taking her seriously at all!
