Xie Xia looked at the mer in front of him and pleasantly smiled at him before saying to Wen Gui, "I actually wanted to buy some sandalwood oil and cream for you, Master Wen, but Sister Xifeng had spoken a lot about you. She told me that despite being a father and grandfather, you look really young and beautiful. So, I thought that buying those things would only humiliate me."
"And," he chortled before adding, "I have to say that I agree, because you look even younger than I thought. It's a good thing that I didn't bring those useless things or else I would have ruined my image in front of you."
Mo Qiang and her husbands turned to look at Mo Xifeng, who fervently shook her head and said, "I didn't… there was no time to—" She stopped speaking but everyone understood what she was trying to say.
Their first meeting took place in such a rickety manner; how could it be possible for Mo Xifeng to talk about Wen Gui? And if she really did talk about her daddy during that time, Mo Qiang would have really taken her to the hospital for the sake of getting her daddy issues tested.
She turned to look at her husbands and sighed heavily before saying to them, "I am afraid that your positions are going to be pushed even further down."
No wonder Xie Xia was able to take Mo Xifeng down. This mer was really smart. Look at that smooth tongue of his; even Wen Gui, who always had complaints regarding his sons-in-law, was blushing and looked quite satisfied with this new perspective son-in-law of his.
It was because this mer knew how to investigate and slowly advance.
Mo Qiang was not far off the mark, as Wen Gui was indeed quite satisfied with Xie Xia. He looked at the mer who was praising him and then simperingly smiled before saying to him, "Oh, there you really know how to joke."
"I am not joking, Master Wen," Xie Xia spoke in a serious tone. "I mean, look at you. You don't have even a single pore on your skin at your age. If I can maintain myself this well when I am around your age, I will thank the heavens for being so kind to me."
"Aren't you really sweet?" Wen Gui looked really flattered as he stepped aside and said to Xie Xia, "Come on in; the weather is getting colder and warm yourself up a little."
"Would you look at that?" Mo Qiang commented. "He cleared the first step in a matter of five minutes. Wow. I have to say that I am impressed."
She turned to look at Mo Xifeng and remarked, "You really picked up a gem."
Mo Xifeng didn't know if her sister was teasing her or was genuinely praising her. She looked at the mer who was chatting with her daddy as if the two of them were long-lost buddies and had no idea what to feel.
Her sister was right; this mer was quite a gem.
