The lightest blush touches Wanyin's cheeks at the utter embarrassment of getting laughed at! How dare he! (Relax Cheng, it's really not that big of a deal). Just before he can actually get angry about it though, the emotion is waylaid by the revelation that Huaisang isn't in love with his brother like he thought. Not only that, but it is really difficult to stay mad at someone who looks that cute giggling. It is far too pretty a sound.
"What? Are you sure?" He asks, surprised. "You've always followed him around whenever I'm there. I could've sworn you were infatuated with him. I thought everyone was." The last words were much quieter and almost covered by another gulp of wine, but not quite.

Lan Zhan makes sure not to stare at Yuan after he's asked his question. He knows there will be emotions and the answer might not be completely true. His son deserves some privacy, after all, and from the sounds of it, he's had very little in his life. The guilt of what the boy went through will never go away, but he can at least do this much. "If you need more medicine, ask."
The question about Cloud Recesses gets his gaze to lift again and meet Yuan's. His tiny, ghost of a smile returning. "Yes, I'm taking you home."
