Bai Meiyue raised her head and turned to look at Lei Qian, who nodded at her. Though her heart was filled with hesitation, Bai Meiyue still reached out and took the box from Old Master Lei, for the old man was looking at her with rather loving eyes. Bai Meiyue was used to violence, but she was not used to people looking at her with affection or love; she felt rather troubled.
When Old Master Lei saw that Bai Meiyue had taken the box from his hands, his eyes crinkled even more as he smiled widely. He then turned to look at Mother Bai and said to her, "Then I will take my leave—"
"Oh no, no, no," Mother Bai refused at once as she jumped to her feet and said, "You cannot leave, just like this, sir. At least have dinner with us."
Old Master Lei wanted to refuse, but he couldn't, not with Mother Bai insisting so much. In the end, he could only agree as he started talking with Bai Zhan and Bai Jixuan while Mother Bai started preparing the dinner.
