The corners of Dong Nianmei's mouth rose slightly, outlining a gentle smile.

She bowed gracefully to Qian Chunhua and said softly, "Sister Chunhua, I am Nianmei.

Yesterday when I was home, I heard my mother and others mention you.

Your great kindness has allowed Cong'er to return home safely. The Dong family will always remember this kindness."

Dong Nianmei's words were full of gratitude, and every word revealed her deep respect for Qian Chunhua.

After hearing this, Qian Chunhua felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She gently held Dong Nianmei's hand and said, "Sister Nianmei, you are so polite.

I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Dong Nianmei spoke in a gentle and soft voice, which made Qian Chunhua feel touched and wanted to protect her.

"Mom, what were you talking about just now? You seemed very angry." Guan Yueru asked curiously.

Old Madam Dong looked at her daughter-in-law with a smile, "Chunhua is telling me a story."

"Ah..., Sister Chunhua, how can you start telling stories without waiting for me to finish..." Guan Yueru acted coquettishly towards Qian Chunhua unwillingly.

Madam Dong joked, "Sister Chunhua told you this story just to entertain an old woman like me."

Dong Nianmei looked at his mother curiously, then at his sister-in-law.

It was the first time for her to see her mother and sister-in-law so relaxed and not pretentious in front of outsiders.

"Sister Chunhua, you can't favor one over the other." Guan Yueru refused.

Qian Chunhua looked terrified and waved his hands repeatedly, "Please forgive me, my mouth is dry. This is my next storybook, I will show it to you when I finish it."

"Really, Sister Chunhua, you've written a storybook again?" Guan Yueru was very surprised, and she did not forget to introduce it to Dong Nianmei, "Sister Chunhua wrote a book called The Legend of White Snake, which is very worth reading. I'll give it to you later. I guarantee you'll finish reading it even if you don't want to go to bed."

Dong Nianmei nodded with a smile.

Madam Dong also smiled and said, "Don't worry, stay at Nianmei's house for a few more months. It's a rare trip home. Mother hasn't seen you for a long time."

Dong Nianmei hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.

Only after the dinner at Dong’s house ended were Qian Chunhua and his family allowed to leave.

Old Madam Dong warmly invited them to stay, and only saw them off reluctantly when night fell.

Before leaving, Guan Yueru anxiously grabbed Qian Chunhua's hand, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Sister Chunhua, I must come to your house tomorrow to read your new storybook. If I can't see it first, I will be uneasy."

Qian Chunhua was amused by her words and nodded, "Taiwan, I'll wait for you. I'll make the bed ready for you tomorrow morning."

At dawn the next day, Qian Chunhua hurriedly sent her children to the academy.

Just after dropping the kid off, there was a soft knock on the door.

Qian Chunhua went to open the door himself.

Guan Yueru and Dong Nianmei were seen standing side by side, like a beautiful painting.

"Sister Chunhua, sorry to bother you." Dong Nianmei's voice was gentle and pleasant, with a hint of expectation.

Qian Chunhua warmly invited the two into the study and personally brewed a pot of fragrant black tea for them.

"This is Zhengshan Xiaozhong, please try it." Qian Chunhua pointed at the tea on the coffee table with a smile on his face.

Guan Yueru and Dong Nianmei smiled at each other, each picked up the teacup and took a sip. The aroma of the black tea spread between their lips and teeth, as if filling the entire study with a warm atmosphere.

"Sister Chunhua, come on... let me see your script." Guan Yueru put down the teacup, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Qian Chunhua laughed. It was always a good thing to have people looking forward to his work.

Qian Chunhua took a stack of manuscripts from the bookshelf and handed them to them. "I wrote this a few days ago. There are only thirty chapters in total."

Dong Nianmei took the manuscript, turned a page, and saw neat handwriting.
