The scorching summer sun seemed to soften here; the layers of leaves blocked the sunlight, and the sifted rays weren't too overwhelming.
Mu Qiu was led by Cheng Zhirang, walking step by step toward the entrance of the garden villa.
The gate was open. Just as they reached a cluster of daisies, a very elegant woman walked out from inside.
"You're here?"
"Mom."
The woman was wearing a cheongsam, with a graceful demeanor. Apart from the slight traces of age on her face, there was no visible indication that she was Cheng Zhirang's mother.
Mu Qiu was somewhat surprised, and bowed slightly to greet her.
"Hello Auntie, I'm Mu Qiu."
"Hello," He Jia gently supported her, her voice warm and pleasant, "Can I call you Qiuqiu?"
"Of course, Auntie."
"You're really beautiful, Cheng Zhirang found himself a lovely girlfriend."
Cheng Zhirang was surprisingly addressed by his name and even chimed in, "She is very beautiful."
