Kuma raised its head and looked at Yuan with its clear, blue eyes. It tilted its head and reached downwards to lick at Yuan's small, fat hand with gusto.

"Hey, not like this! Shake hands, shake them like this!" Yuan caught one of Kuma's paws in hands and shook it.

Kuma retracted its paw impatiently, disregarding his request, turned back and ran.

Aunt Zhuang plated the takeout and called everyone to dinner.

Moonbyul picked up a piece of steamed chicken. When he was preparing to dip it into the seasonings, he felt something pulling at his trouser leg.

He lowered his eyes to see Kuma pulling at his trouser leg with its paw, staring at him beseechingly.

Moonbyul looked at the piece of chicken in his chopsticks, and then at Kuma.

Kuma whimpered softly, and it tugged at Moonbyul's pant leg with his soft, pink paw again.

Moonbyul glanced at Jennie and saw that her attention was elsewhere, so he quickly deboned the chicken and tossed it down the table. Kuma left with the chicken between its teeth, and Moonbyul picked up another piece for himself nonchalantly and started to eat.

Kuma was back again after a short while, but not for food. It sniffed Moonbyul's ankle for a few times before it curled up and fell asleep beside it.

Moonbyul looked down. He did not dare move after that and his ears flushed red.

The next afternoon, Lisa brought Jennie to the family home.

Jennie was still clutching the poinsettia plant she bought for the old man in her hands. It was neither rare nor costly, but it was in a festive red that suited the New Year cheer.

Jennie did not know much about flowers. The last day, she had visited different shops before she was hooked by this eye-catching shade of red the first instance she entered one of them. This plant was ideal for the occasion, had an auspicious name, and the store owner said that it was easy to care for, so she bought it.

She had asked Lisa in the morning, and he confirmed that the family home did not have this plant. Jennie let out a breath in relief. Now the only thing important was that the old man liked it.

When they set out, Lisa called to inform them that they were departing.

Old Lady Manoban was nearly crippled with guilt as soon as she hung up the phone. She glanced towards Mr. Manoban, who was setting out to water his flowers, water can in his hands, and asked, "Say, should I make up an excuse and act like I'm not at home? Just... just say that Old Lady Shin was jealous that I had a granddaughter-in-law, so she called me over because she wanted to mess today up by calling me over to her house so that I won't get to see my granddaughter-in-law?"

"..." Old Mr. Shin eyed her, speechless before he continued moving towards the French window.

"Don't stay quiet! Can't you see that I'm worried?" Old Mrs. Shin was desperate. She trailed after her husband. At the sight of him bending down to water his flowers, she had the urge to land a kick on his rear.

"Who asked you to pretend being lost in front of your granddaughter-in-law," Old Master Manoban smirked. "Now you know to be afraid? Wait till your granddaughter-in-law arrives and look at you and be like, 'Hey, isn't this the old woman that lost her way from that time?'. You lied to her even before you met. What would our granddaughter-in-law think of that? She would assume that we're evaluating her because we aren't satisfied with her. Would you feel good if you're being lied to in this manner? You knew that we're going to meet anyway when Lisa brings her here. If you chose to do that despite this, you should have known that this was going to backfire on you."
