She took out a handkerchief and extended her arm to gently wipe away the specks of dirt from his cheek. Softly, she said, "We'll have to wait a little longer. I need to check on Old Madam Zhang's condition first, and you..."
"I'll go with you!" Huangfu Lingyao immediately grasped her hand.
His clinginess was just like taking a child to work!
Liu Shimei did not find it bothersome at all. She walked forward with her silly puppy following, muttering to herself, "I wonder if those two from the Miao family have left."
"They haven't!" Huangfu Lingyao gave her a definite answer.
Liu Shimei blinked and asked, "How do you know?"
Huangfu Lingyao replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "I overheard one of the servants passing by. That Miao fellow said he'd wait until you finished treating the old lady here and then asked you to visit his mother at their house!"
"Oh?" Liu Shimei furrowed her brows.
