Ning Rui looked at his graceful and beautiful daughter with pride and raised his hand to beckon her to sit down before he said: ”I saw Ah Jing today.”

Ning Rui nodded. ”Yes, that kid is still as dense as ever and I was able to make him spill everything with just a few kindly words of concern. Fan Zhuo has had a guest in his little bamboo grove this past month, and Fan Jin was the one who brought the guest in.”
