Meng Zhao picked up a wrap and took a big bite. The crispy outer layer wrapped around the savory filling made her squint her eyes in satisfaction: "Thank you, Dad! Mmm~ It's so delicious!"
While they were having breakfast, Xiao Chuan rushed over to report, "Sister Meng, Lord Shen has arrived."
Meng Zhao paused in his chopsticks, looked up and asked, "Huh? Then why didn't you let him in?"
Xiao Chuan scratched his head, looking puzzled: "Didn't you specifically instruct me beforehand that Lord Shen shouldn't be let in without your permission?"
Meng Zhao couldn't help but slap her forehead. She had indeed instructed him before that he couldn't come in without her permission, but their relationship was different now, so it couldn't be the same as before.
"Let him in." A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips. She added, "And tell Aunt Li and the others that from now on, if he comes again, they don't need to announce him; they can just let him in directly."

Meng Zhao lowered his head and stirred the porridge in his bowl, replying vaguely, "Um...I guess so."

He usually wears dark clothes, but his outfit today is quite eye-catching. As soon as he entered the room, his gaze was fixed on Meng Zhao and he wouldn't look away for even a moment.
Meng Zhao pretended to be calm and continued drinking his porridge. Meng Dashan greeted him warmly, "Qinghe, have you had breakfast yet?"
Shen Qinghe then looked away and shook his head. Meng Dashan laughed and said, "We made a lot today, come and have a taste."
Shen Qing thanked her and deliberately chose a seat next to Meng Zhao, subtly moving the chair closer to her as she sat down.
