She turned slightly hearing those footsteps that were approaching. A soft smile curved her lips as she saw her grandsons walk in.
"You are both up so late today, more than usual!" she said warmly, though a hint of playful sarcasm lingered in her voice, she wondered how come they were waking up now! It ain't their norm! "What an honour."
"Morning, Grandma," Ting Cheng grinned as he walked over and planted a quick kiss on her cheek, "Don't I always wake up early to see your beautiful face? It's just today I slept in a little bit longer than usual."
"Don't sweet-talk me, boy," she replied with a chuckle, patting his cheek fondly. Her eyes softened further as she turned to Zi Zhen, who bowed his head respectfully.
"Morning, Grandmother."
"Ah-Zhen," she said gently, reaching out to touch his arm, "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, I did, Grandma!" His answer was short, but his tone carried a respectful softness reserved only for her.
