"Yes, Doctor Xu, please come in and sit," Zhou Xiuyun said, her demeanor completely changed. "I was rude just now. Please forgive me."
If Xu Ke had understood her earlier attitude, he surely would have taken it to heart. Therefore, to avoid causing Xu Ke any displeasure, Zhou Xiuyun chose to apologize directly.
"It's fine. Aunt Yun was just looking out for me," Xu Ke said with a faint smile. "However, I'm not accustomed to waiting for others. Let's go inside. May I ask where Elder Master Zhou is?"
Zhou Xiuyun was grateful for Xu Ke's magnanimous response. His remark, "I'm not accustomed to waiting for others," was his way of telling her: *I understood what you said just now.* But Xu Ke didn't pursue the matter, simply letting it slide.
