"For instance, what foods do you enjoy, which tastes appeal to you most, are there any special items you fancy, like jewelry or outfits? Don't hesitate to share with me. Since this is your initial return home, we lack knowledge of your tastes, so I can get things ready in advance. The residence requires some sprucing up, and the garden must be set up just for you—let me know your preferred style. Do you want an area reserved in the garden for planting flowers upon your arrival, or shall I select certain blooms and greenery to install ahead of time?"
Lu Shuangshuang halted briefly here and added, "Regarding the bedding and curtains, would light shades work for you? Xiao Xiao, let's chat more frequently over the phone going forward; anything that pops into your head, just share it with me. We'll tailor everything to your thoughts and choices."
Chiang Xiao simply let her continue, absorbing the words in silence.
Lu Shuangshuang truly appeared to be a kind soul, soft-spoken, tolerant, and considerate, seeking Chiang Xiao's views on every detail while radiating warmth and approachability.
Yet, one detail nagged at her intensely: had Lu Shuangshuang taken charge of organizing the Jiang family's garden?
Under whose authority?
As the spouse of the sixth young master at present?
Did this imply the Jiang elders had handed her these responsibilities, permitting her to play the role of lady of the house?
"Xiao Xiao? What's keeping you so quiet?" Lu Shuangshuang prompted once more.
Snapping out of her thoughts, Chiang Xiao chuckled lightly.
"I figured my father would handle the garden himself, given how well he understands what I like."
"After all, Xiao Sixth is male, so he might overlook such details, and from what I've heard, your time together has been limited—he probably doesn't fully grasp your preferences yet. Feel free to inform me; he'll likely stay occupied soon, plus my grandfather, brothers, and father plan to meet him shortly."
"No worries, he'll pay close attention to anything concerning me."
Biting her lower lip, Chiang Xiao pondered why her father permitted Lu Shuangshuang to ramble on unchecked.
Ah Liu approached bearing tea, and spotting Lu Shuangshuang cradling the phone with a soft grin, he halted briefly, "Having a pleasant chat with Little?"
With a warm smile, Lu Shuangshuang replied, "I find Xiao Xiao refreshingly direct; I really admire that trait, and I'm sure we'll bond splendidly ahead."
That's when Chiang Xiao caught Ah Liu's voice.
Had he left the room moments ago?
"Little does have that candid nature, but I doubt you'll cross paths often—she stays in the Capital City or visits D State occasionally, while you're based in Pingzhou, so encounters could be rare."
Pfft!
Upon hearing her father's remark, Chiang Xiao felt a wave of relief wash over her instantly.
It resembled gulping down an icy mung bean soup amid scorching summer heat—utterly invigorating.
Her father dropping such a sharp line was truly masterful.
He clearly had no plans to wed Lu Shuangshuang, did he?
Whether Lu Shuangshuang felt slighted didn't faze her in the least.
"Xiao Sixth, down the line, we'll inevitably need to..."
Lu Shuangshuang couldn't complete her thought before Ah Liu cut in, "Certain matters, once finished, stay in the past, Sister Shuang. I'm feeling weary; please return home for now, and we'll meet at breakfast tomorrow."
While saying this, he extended his hand to retrieve the phone from her grasp, "Little, I'm ending the call here; Dad will reach out to you shortly."
"Okay."
Chiang Xiao ended the call without delay, following instructions sweetly.
Rising to her feet, she bounced around the chamber, flailed her arms, and stretched lightly.
Lu Shuangshuang's earlier statements replayed in her thoughts.
She reflected that if those remarks stemmed from Lu Shuangshuang's genuine feelings, then the woman wasn't particularly astute, for a cunning individual would detect the subtle rebuff—and furthermore, realize that presuming the hostess position before any commitment only exposed weaknesses.
