Bab 228: Who Kicked Me?

After Little Jing made his greetings, he sat silently at the side, looking straight ahead.

Ah Ruan must have felt something off because she suddenly turned quiet, making the whole atmosphere awkward.

The Old Ancestress broke the weird silence by saying, "Aye, I'm so old that a little chat has already exhausted me. You guys go ahead and have fun. You don't have to keep this old woman company."

Yu De got the hint and chimed in, "I'm going to the kitchen to see what dishes are being prepared. This is Ah Ruan's first time here and we cannot be negligent."

"Elder Princess, I'll go with you," Ye Jiayao immediately said. "It's been a long time since I've cooked and my hands are feeling itchy."

Xia Chunyu looked around, distressed. What was he supposed to do then? He couldn't very well stay and be the third wheel but he also couldn't come with them to the kitchen!

"I'm going to… take a look at Xuan's dog," he said feebly.
