"Miss, now you're 9 years old. Is there anything you want to wish for your birthday this time?" Xiao Yun asked softly. She was helping Nan Hua to change into new clothes since today was her birthday. Mu Yan stood at the side, helping to pick some accessories.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "Wish?"
"Yes. When one celebrates their birthday, they'll make a wish." Xiao Yun nodded.
Bai Yin giggled. "When I celebrate my fourteen birthday not long ago, I wish that I can be as pretty as Miss."
"Miss is natural beauty. We all pale in comparison to her."
"That's true."
Nan Hua looked at her three maidservants. Amongst the three of them, Bai Yin was undoubtedly the oldest being 14 years old. Xiao Yun was only 12 years old while Mu Yan was the same age as her. However, the one who had been accompanying her from a long time ago was Bai Yin and Xiao Yun since Mu Yan was given to her by her grandfather when she came here.
It was for this reason that the original Nan Hua was not close to Mu Yan.
"You're all pretty," Nan Hua said seriously.
Xiao Yun beamed. "Being praised by Miss is our good luck. Miss, it's time for you to head over to Ning Shu Pavilion. This servant is sure that Young Master will be waiting for you."
"Right."
"En."
They all started eating in silence due to etiquette but when they're about to finish, they began to talk again.
"Come on, eat more. You two are still so smalls."
"Grandpa, you're the one who's big!"
"Nonsense, I'm only average!"
Nan Luo's eyes landed on Old Master Nan's stomach. It was slightly bulging because the old man stuffed a lot of food. "You're the one who eat the most, Grandpa! Didn't you prepare it for us?"
"Can you even eat it all?"
"Tsk, or course I can!"
Nan Hua ate quietly and only answered occasionally. But seeing the noisy atmosphere in the dining table, she somehow felt at peace. It was completely different than usual but she didn't dislike it.
That day, the three of them took a long time to eat dinner while talking about many things.
Afterwards, Nan Luo was spanked again.
