"Eh? Sister-in-law, you rested up so quickly?" Seeing Xia Lu come down the stairs not long after she went up, Zhou Xinyao asked.
Xia Lu nodded, "Yes, I took a short nap, and now I'm not sleepy anymore."
"Come over and sit." Zhou Xinyao pointed to a chair nearby. "We were just talking about you."
Xia Lu saw that both of them each had a glass of wine and seemed to be deep in conversation, so she reluctantly sat down next to them.
"My cousin said you can do everything, have a good temperament, and are not delicate at all. He said you're so much better than I am, it almost made me feel ashamed." Zhou Xinyao laughed. "It seems my failure to get married is all my parents' fault."
Xia Lu hadn't expected Zhou Mingchen to praise her, since hearing even a single kind word from him was usually so difficult, let alone praise. Could he have been saying all these things behind her back? She modestly replied, "Actually, I'm not that great..."
