Meanwhile, Lin Hui, holding Lin Xiaoliu, listened to his parents ask about his progress with Han Xiaoyue—if she was pregnant, how many babies she was having, what their names would be...
He listened with a look of utter exasperation.
After the whole ordeal, more than four hours later, Han Xiaoyue was settled into the loft of the pavilion in Lin Hui's own courtyard.
