Xiao Changyi finally relaxed his expression and clasped her hand in his own, holding it tightly.
"Let's go and see what he wants from you today," An Jing said as she pulled Xiao Changyi to his feet and walked towards the kitchen door.
Xiao Changyi's face returned to its expressionless state.
With a sidelong glance, An Jing caught sight of his demeanor; she found it both amusing and incredibly sweet. Her husband truly treated her in a uniquely special way, like no other could compare.
As soon as An Jing opened the door to the courtyard, Meng Zhuqing greeted them with a bow: "This subordinate pays respects to Master and Madam."
It wasn't until Meng Zhuqing followed them into the hall that An Jing asked, "What is it?"
Meng Zhuqing unloaded a bundle from his back, taking out two letters and two exquisitely crafted small wooden boxes, he reported respectfully: "These are letters to Master from the Emperor and the Crown Prince, along with birthday gifts for Master."
