章節 123: He wanted to complain to his sister-in-law!

He did not dwell on the second part of her statement; he knew that. But what...? She already trusted Yun Jifeng that much? He really had to act fast.

"I'll be on my way now." he said as he looked at his watch.

She pouted and looked sad...

"What's wrong, you want to come with me?" he asked gently as he rubbed her head.

"My kiss!" she whined.

"Oh.." he kissed her and only then was he allowed to go.

"Little Wan, is something wrong today?" Elder Qian asked. After being master and disciple for a while, he had begun to treat her like he would treat his granddaughter and started adressing her fondly as "Little Wan".

Today, he had given her a task of coming up with an outfit that people who don't like dresses could wear to a banquet. It was a very important task, yet he saw the young lady's mind was preoccupied with other things.

Not only that, his decades of experience let him see that every stroke she made on that sheet of paper was filled with sadness and bitterness.
