"I can't believe this is still the same place.." said Zhang Qingge as she looked around her.
"Will you put me down now.." she added in a slightly embarrassed tone.
"Sorry.." simultaneously answered Dai Chen and Yang Qing with awkward smiles as they put Zhang Qingge gently down.
"I wonder if Ma Yuan can do the same thing in my place.." Zhang Qingge said with an envious sigh as she saw the lushness and beauty of the landscape in Yang Qing's compound.
When she and Dai Chen visited a few days ago, they were just as surprised as Yang Qing was when he first laid his eyes on the work Ma Yuan had done to the place, and one could argue it was even more so for Dai Chen and Zhang Qingge who unlike Yang Qing did not have prior knowledge that Ma Yuan would be working on the compound.
"I could ask him for you. I am sure he would not mind and would be excited at the prospect even.." said Yang Qing.
