"I won't disturb your rest any longer, Doctor Jiang," said Song Minghao, gentlemanly as he prepared to leave.
Jiang Yuzhu watched his retreating figure, a sudden pang of reluctance surging in her heart.
Song Minghao was genuinely a good man and his concern was sincere. Moreover, she didn't really mind his visit.
"Mr. Song, since you're here, why not stay and have a meal with us?"
Jiang Yuzhu's tone was inviting. "Mrs. Chen is a superb cook. Today is a good opportunity for you to taste her concoctions."
Song Minghao stopped and turned around, joy ETCHED across his face.
"Really? In that case, I won't turn down your kind offer."
Jiang Yuzhu led him into the house with a warm smile. Song Minghao followed her into the cozy home, the chimes hanging by the door welcome their unexpected guest with their subtle jingling.
Mrs. Chen soon brought out a feast of dishes, both pleasing to the eye and delicious to the palate.
