Just as she was about to hand the second glass of water to Uncle Liu, Lu Baozhi suddenly let out a heavy sigh.
"Hmph!" Lu Yi narrowed his eyes. "Since Dr. Lu is too embarrassed to say it, then I'll say it for you!"

Only Lu Baofei stared at her eldest sister with a look of surprise, hoping to find the answer from her expression.
