Jie Jingchen's tone was lazy and languid as he asked teasingly, "Second Auntie, take a look. Is that her?"
Second Auntie looked over. Whoa! Goodness gracious, what a pretty girl. She took a closer look—wasn't that the same disheveled girl from this morning?
'This isn't a caregiver Doctor Qiao found; this is a daughter-in-law by the looks of it.'
"Wifey, come say hello to Second Auntie," Jie Jingchen said, beckoning to Qin Mei.
"She's your wife?" Second Auntie felt like she'd been struck by lightning. 'Thank god I didn't say anything careless,' she thought, recalling her morning chat about Teacher Lin. If she had painted Jing Si and Teacher Lin as a pair of star-crossed lovers, she'd be too ashamed to face his wife right now.
Qin Mei's face lit up in a smile, her voice sweet. "Second Auntie."
"Heh heh," Second Auntie chuckled, feeling extremely awkward. Well, if Qin Mei wasn't going to be the awkward one, then she had to be.
