Upon seeing Yang Wang, the joy on Qiao Xiaomai's face instantly disappeared.
She walked over slowly, leading Qiao Dami by the hand, bowing as she approached, "Commoner greets Your Highness."
"There's no need for formalities." Yang Wang waved dismissively, always maintaining a friendly smile on his taut face.
The smile made Qiao Xiaomai put up her guard, sending her defenses soaring.
"May I know the purpose of Your Highness's visit to our humble abode?" Qiao Xiaomai asked.
"What, you're going to keep me standing at the door, not inviting me in?" Yang Wang retorted instead of answering, nodding towards the tightly closed door.
Qiao Xiaomai forced a sincere-looking smile on her face, "Forgive me for my negligence, Your Highness."
She quickly went to open the door.
Once inside, she apologized with a face full of regret, "Your Highness, would you like some tea? However, I would have to boil the water."
