By the time Liu Ming was heading back to the Chen Family Mansion, it was almost evening. From a distance, he could see the sun slowly setting behind the distant mountains, taking away all the light.
Liu Ming adjusted his wide-sleeved robes and placed his hands behind his back, keeping a calm expression on his face.
He couldn't stop thinking about Chen Yuxuan's words.
At that moment, that was all that was on his mind.
'Hrmm, I can't figure out what Aunt Chen wants. I mean, I know she wants me to visit her because she says she has a surprise for me, but that's what bothers me the most.
'You know, whenever she does a favor for anyone, it's usually because she expects something in return. If she's giving me a surprise, she might want me to do something for her later.
'Or maybe I'm overthinking it. It could just be a regular surprise from aunt to nephew.'
Despite wanting to believe it, Liu Ming couldn't.
