"If it weren't for Meng Meng and Ming Xu putting in so many good words for you in front of me, how could I have truly felt how devoted you are to this big family… how much effort you've put in."
"…"
"In this world, the only person who could both persuade, and have the guts to persuade, those two elders to take out the Yin Family Tree and the ivory rod… is probably you."
"You… are you trying to praise me?"
Su Xiaomeng's expression carried a hint of shy awkwardness…
"Mhm, praise, I definitely have to praise you."
Yin Shixiu looked at her seriously and nodded with certainty.
"If you praise me like that… I'm going to be embarrassed…"
As Su Xiaomeng muttered this, her face turned red. She sniffled lightly, "Alright then, go ahead and praise me. I'm ready."
Yin Shixiu was amused by her goofy look, chuckling twice under his breath. Then he lifted his eyes; his sharp brows relaxed, and in the depths of his gaze there was nothing but love and admiration for this woman.
