Bab 72: A ride

"Mother Mei, let me give you a ride to work now." Yan Xun spoke enthusiastically, his muscles rippling beneath his shirt as he stretched out his hand to help her stand up. Mother Mei smiled and accepted his help, feeling a rush of gratitude for his kindness.

"You're so kind, Yan Xun," she said, her voice full of warmth. "I appreciate your help."

Yan Xun smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "It's my pleasure, Mother Mei. It's the least I can do for you after all you've done for me in letting me and my brothers marrying your daughter."
