Cao Mei did not immediately approach Wu Long as he was still with the others, instead readying herself. Even though Wei Lan encouraged her, she was still not sure if he would accept her.
She first peeked out of the corner as the sounds of laughter were resounding in the room and waved to her mother, who immediately stood up and approached her.
"What is it Mei'er?"
Cao Xiang was led to her daughter's room and as the door was hurriedly closed asked her visibly excited daughter.
"M... mother, I will ask you one question... I want you to tell me truthfully, and also not worry about anything else but your true opinion..."
She said as she had to ascertain her mother's happiness would not be disturbed by her selfishness. The glimmer of hope she saw when she was told that Wu Long might agree to let them both become his women was now held back only by the possibility that her mother was not ready to accept it.
"What is it Mei'er, you're scaring me"
