In one of the upper-class rooms of Bishan Inn at Maofeng Town, the sound of a woman coughing floated through the air.
"Mother, are you feeling better?" A slender, strikingly beautiful woman with a gentle demeanor, accompanied by a maid carrying medicine, walked into the room.
"It's just a few coughs, dear. Why are you furrowing your brows over it?" The woman smiled warmly.
The girl known as Wanwan, around thirteen years of age but remarkably composed, said, "Father has entrusted me with taking good care of you and my younger siblings."
The woman patted her hand, replying, "You've worked hard."
With a slight smile, Wanwan said, "It's not hard for me. As the eldest daughter in the family, it's my duty."
"I have such a sensible and well-mannered daughter. It's hard to say which lucky man will benefit from marrying you in the future," the woman said, touching her daughter's cheek as smooth as congealed fat rouge.
"Mother!" Wanwan blushed and chided softly.
