Shi Lingqiao gave Huo Xi a gentle and beautiful smile and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Uncle."
Huo Xi's smile faded. "When did you two get married? How come I didn't know?"
He turned to Qingyou and asked, "Sister-in-law, is this Jiwen's wife?"

They looked as if looking at the two of them even for a second would be an eyesore.
She turned to look at Huo Xi, her face breaking into a kind smile. "Come on, let's go to my courtyard for tea."
Huo Xi nodded and smiled, "Okay!"
