Qin Yuan pressed her lips and smiled lightly. "Let him be."
At worst, I'll send him to sleep in the side room.
We've moved him in already—can't exactly chase him out again.
Hong Ye asked sneakily, "So tonight, Cui Ming and I won't be keeping watch?"
Qin Yuan sighed helplessly. "Why are you worrying about something so far ahead? Hurry and set the table, I'm starving. The little kitchen made Suzhou cuisine today—send some to Doctor Li, and Xiao Dong said he liked the fish from last time. I figure his taste is much like mine, so have the little kitchen make some shrimp too."
Hong Ye went out to check, then returned, saying, "Only river fresh is available."
Qin Yuan said, "That'll do."
With that, she fell silent.
Hong Ye asked, "Miss, what are you thinking about?"
Qin Yuan replied gloomily, "Probably won't be making his favorite dishes much longer."
