Old Mrs. Shi had never found this fool so pleasing before and asked Shi Lingyan, "Did you teach her?"
Shi Lingyan gently shook his head, his seemingly expressionless face lit up with a hint of a smile, "She is getting smarter and smarter."
"Hehehe," Shi Mei hugged Shi Lingyan's arm, laughing happily, "Shi Mei is getting smarter, everything Shi Mei says is the truth!"
Bai Yuejie quickly masked the strangeness in her emotions, her face once again settling into a gentle, intelligent smile, "It started after I had that fever last time, I've been getting smarter ever since, which is a blessing in disguise."
"Miss," Uncle Liu called out from a distance, walking towards them with gentlemanly and upright strides, "The birthday gift you prepared for Old Mrs. Shi is ready; it can be presented at any time."
Seeing Uncle Liu, Bai Yuejie felt instantly reassured, her smile becoming even more natural. She nodded slightly as if it were an offhand remark, "Good, let's arrange for that then."
