"How's it going?"
As soon as she heard him pick up the phone and ask this question, Chiang Xiao paused, a bit confused about what he meant.
Ah Liu chuckled and explained, "While you were on the phone with Lu Shuangshuang, I deliberately walked away for a while. She might have felt more relaxed talking that way. Did you pick up on anything?"
"Dad, you walked away on purpose?"
"Yes."
"That's what I thought. She was putting on airs like a stepmother in front of me. Why did you keep letting her go on?"
"Hmm?"
Putting on airs like a stepmother?
Chiang Xiao explained, "She said she would be arranging the Jiang Family's courtyard and asked what style I liked, whether I wanted to plant the flowers myself or if she should pick some flowers and plants to put in. She also said we could talk on the phone more often in the future, and that if I wanted anything, I could just let her know, and maybe she'd even prepare a gift for me."
