Ruan Hongzhuang didn't actually get up that late—the clock hadn't even struck nine.
It's just that sunrise comes rather early in Bin Hai, typically around five-thirty in the morning.
By the time their car reached Qingshui Town, it was only nine forty.
Shen Siyuan had Ruan Hongzhuang park the car by the roadside, where she had her breakfast and applied some light makeup.
"You're already pretty without makeup," Shen Siyuan said.
"But what woman would refuse to look even prettier? Just like the rich never complain about having too much money," Ruan Hongzhuang argued confidently.
Jiang Yingxue's guess was spot on—Shen Siyuan's parents had gotten up early this morning.
They busied themselves all morning with slaughtering chickens, chopping meat, and picking vegetables, but despite waiting and waiting, no one showed up.
Seeing Huang Huijuan glance towards the village entrance multiple times, Shen Jianjun couldn't help but say, "If you're really anxious, just call our son."
