Aunt Jiang was beaming all the way when she saw them. She called out, "You're finally here. The Old Master has been waiting since yesterday. You should have called to inform us."
There was chiding in her tone as she glanced meaningfully in the Old Master's direction.
Like an obedient child, Li Beinian walked up to and greeted him. "Grandpa."
Old Master Li relaxed his arms as the black cat jumped out of it and ran off, waving its tail as it darted toward Mu Xichen.
The man looked at the cat and immediately, it jumped and gave a loud meow. Then, it took off and hid around the corner, watching him with its tail swaying in the air.
Mu Xichen was flabbergasted.
As though he had been walked out on by a cat.
Steadily and with even footsteps, he walked up to the Old Master with the bags of gifts that he had prepared and called out in greeting, "Grandpa."
Old Master Li stood up without looking at him.
