Ashley was a little later than usual while Andrew was punctual as always. When Ashley got into the car, Andrew glanced at her.

"What's wrong?" Ashley asked, touching her face. "Is there anything on my face?"

Andrew shook his head, "No. It's just you're five minutes later than usual."

Ashley was taken aback at Andrew's ability to recall tiny details like this.

"Okay." Andrew nodded.

Throughout these past few days, Ashley was able to find out what Andrew's grandfather liked.

Johnny had already helped prepare her present, a box of superior West Lake Longjing Tea.

Andrew had mentioned once that his grandpa liked that.

The suburbs were quite far from the city proper.
