Lan Ling's gaze shifted from his slender fingers to Ji Changlin's handsome face, her expression uncharacteristically strained.
She turned her head away and said calmly, "My Lord, the Fifth Missy is greeting you."
Ji Changlin poked his head out and looked forward, only to be met by a radiant, smiling face.
The corners of his mouth curved up in a smile as well. He kept his hand on the curtain, holding it open. In the distance, the lovely figure began waving nonstop the moment she saw him appear.
Lan Ling watched this scene unfold. The reins in her hands slackened, and she gradually fell back behind the carriage.
When the carriage drew near, Ji Qingwu walked down the steps and took a few paces forward to greet him, calling out as she looked up, "Big Brother!"
Ji Changlin hopped down from the carriage in a few quick strides and circled her, feigning surprise. "And which family's young lady is this? Why are you calling me Big Brother?"
