Feng Lao put the bamboo slip on the floor table when he heard the door open. "Lord Shui, Miss Miaoran wants to see you. She is outside. Should I let her in?" the servant asked.
"Let her in," Feng Lao said. He picked up the candle stand and put it at the center of the floor table from the stand beside him.
Miaoran came inside and gave a bow to him. "Please take a seat," Feng Lao said and motioned his hand to the floor chair. Miaoran settled on the floor chair and thanked him for letting him in.
"There is no need to thank," Feng Lao said. "I am glad you came to see me. It has been days since you have come out of your room. Are you well?" he asked with a bit of concern.
"I am better now, Lord Shui. Thank you for giving me time," Miaoran said.
"You can call me Feng Lao. No need to call the 'Lord'," Feng Lao said and smiled at her.
"It may sound inappropriate," Miaoran stated.
