Bai Xue seemed completely unaffected by her eldest daughter's displeased expression. She placed the dumpling-making supplies directly on the kang and even put on a smiling face. Before she even started talking, she was already smiling wide. Ye Ling felt a chill because she knew Ye Qian would probably tell their mother about this. Seeing the current changes, Ye Ling sat quietly on the edge of the kang, waiting for the other side to make a move.
"Lingzi, get up and make dumplings. You won't be home for many days, just in time for your sister's return. Let's have a lively family gathering." Bai Xue spoke as if she had always been close to her eldest daughter.
Ye Ling didn't give her face. "Just say what you want directly. Don't go out of your way to be so enthusiastic every few days; it makes me uncomfortable. Even Dad feels something's off."
