Yang Ming and the other two tidied up a bit and returned to the front courtyard, where they washed off the dust. Xiaoxiao then called them to have dinner.
In these past few days, Wang Xiangxiang had been eating separately in a smaller kitchen, always cared for individually. Today, seeing that Chu Lian had arrived, Xiaoxiao decided that the four of them should eat together at a table in Xiaoxiao's room.
The four sat facing each other, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming together, Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian together. Just as they were about to eat, Han Yongsheng arrived. "I have something to discuss with Young Master Yang, so I came uninvited. Hope you don't mind."
At such a moment, they couldn't just send someone out, so Yang Ming asked Xiaoxiao to fetch another set of utensils, "Mr. Han, please sit down and join us."
