Old Lady Mu and Mu Xiaoxiao were so insistent on her staying that if Zheng Niannian were to refuse again, she would have seemed rather unreasonable. With this in mind, Zheng Niannian nodded, "Since it's like this, Aunt, I shall respectfully comply."
Half-past eleven.
The Mu Family dinner started punctually.
Old Lady Mu had the servants call Mu Baicheng downstairs for dinner.
As soon as Mu Baicheng arrived at the dining room, he saw Zheng Niannian already seated there.
Mu Baicheng frowned slightly, having thought he had made himself clear enough; he did not expect his mother to still keep the guest.
"Brother Baicheng is here, come sit." Upon seeing Mu Baicheng approach, Zheng Niannian promptly stood up from her chair.
Mu Baicheng nodded, "Miss Zheng, there's no need for formalities."
Miss Zheng?
Seeing that he still addressed her this way, Zheng Niannian's frown was barely noticeable.
