C334 It Would be a Pity If She Lost It
"Nothing else?" Ling Yao asked tentatively. He stared at Hai Xiaomin's flawless face with a profound look in his deep eyes.
"We just chatted for a while. Let's not talk about it anymore. I still have some loquat paste in my kitchen. It's not that you haven't finished your work yet. Hurry up and go. " Hai Xiaomin changed the topic and urged Ling Yao not to delay her time.
"Loquat paste?" Ling Yao, on the other hand, seemed to deliberately dawdle and slowly continued to speak to her.
"Grandfather, he. . . His throat is not very good. I have nothing to do. He only made some loquat leaves and fruits to brew the loquat paste and used it as a birthday present. Isn't it too shabby? " Hai Xiaomin explained with an unnatural smile. The influence of the conversation in the room. . . How could it be completely wiped out in such a short period of time?
Ling Yao's gaze was deep and focused on her. In the end, his eyes curved and he said with a handsome and charming smile, "This is your intention. A priceless treasure that can't be bought with any money. How can it be shabby? Hurry up and go, don't waste it. "
"Then I'll go first. " Hai Xiaomin waved at him and walked away.
Watching Hai Xiaomin leave, the smile in Ling Yao's eyes gradually disappeared. Idiot, did he not think that he did not see how ugly her face was when she just came out of the room. . .
With one look, the bodyguard sent to protect Hai Xiaomin immediately followed. He coolly put one hand into the pocket of his pants before turning around to look at the tightly shut door. He coldly turned around and left.
What they talked about in the room, he would find a way to figure it out sooner or later!
. . .
When Hai Xiaomin returned to the kitchen, there were more people than before and it was a little crowded. The chefs had to start preparing for the banquet tomorrow.
"Miss, you're back. " Doctor Haiwen stubbornly insisted on staying in that small area. When he saw Hai Xiaomin return, he could at least heave a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Haiwen. These two pots of boiling water. Are they waiting to be used? " Hai Xiaomin squeezed in front of Doctor Haiwen and broke out in a cold sweat. It was still not enough. If it delayed the chefs' preparation for tomorrow's banquet, it would be terrible.
Doctor Haiwen understood Hai Xiaomin's encouragement and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I have already greeted the kitchen and got the approval of the head chef. We will return the kitchen utensils after we finish boiling the loquat paste. "
Hai Xiaomin was pleasantly surprised. "Doctor Haiwen is really thoughtful. "
Unlike her, she knew that tomorrow was the birthday banquet and even took up some space in the kitchen today. Fortunately, the kitchen in the villa was big enough to make space for them. Otherwise, it would be awkward.
Later on, the loquat paste was finally ready. Hai Xiaomin removed the lid of the pot and filled it up. The first one was given to Doctor Haiwen to try.
"How is it?" Hai Xiaomin was full of anticipation.
"En! Sweet and delicious!" Doctor Haiwen gave her a thumbs up. He was full of praise for the taste. Their first collaboration was considered a successful success.
Hai Xiaomin used a few bottles of sealed cans that she specially wanted to hold. She gave Doctor Haiwen a portion of the two types of loquat paste. A portion was directly shared with the people in the kitchen. She left some for Ling Yao, and the rest was handed over to Mr. Nazhi.
Thinking of this, Hai Xiaomin's mind wandered.
She originally thought of giving it to her grandfather as a birthday present, even though Ling Yao comforted her. But now, it seemed that this kind of thing would definitely not catch her eyes. How could it become a grand hall?
After hesitating for a moment, Hai Xiaomin gritted her silver teeth. If you want to go, then go. The old man must be very uncomfortable when coughing. Eating some loquat paste should make him feel better. Even if it was not a birthday gift, he still had to deliver the things!
Carrying the tray, she walked towards the place where she met with Old Nazhi today. She was thinking about how to talk to him when they met and how to give the things to the old man. Hai Xiaomin could not help but feel her teeth ache.
It was obvious that the heavens were looking after her. At the door of that door, Hai Xiaomin saw Ian who was about to enter!
"Ian!" She lowered her voice and howled excitedly.
When she heard someone call out to him, Ian turned around curiously. He met Hai Xiaomin, who was running towards him. Before he could react, something came to his chest. He caught it by reflex.
"You are going to find grandpa, right? Do me a favor and send this to him. " Hai Xiaomin pointed to the door and said in a low voice with a vivid expression.
"Hmm?" Ian looked down at the jar on the tray and a rare trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
Hai Xiaomin did not want to explain too much. She only added, "By the way, don't say that I gave it to him. Just say that Doctor Haiwen gave him the cough nectar. Please! "
She put her hands together and made a request. She only left when she saw Ian nod his head with her own eyes.0
Lotusflower Ointment?
Ian looked confused. He knocked on the door and entered the room with his things.
In the room, Old Nazhi had just woken up from his nap. He was lying on a rattan chair on the balcony. Sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and fell on his body. It was not too harsh, so it was suitable for him to be basked in the sunlight.
"Everything has been arranged. " Ian reported the progress of the mission to Old Nazhi.
"Yes. " Old Nazhi knew he had come in, so he answered normally, "It wasn't going well on my side. She rejected it. "
Ian's eyes slanted and accurately fell on the black document on the coffee table. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and it was hard for him to show any expression on his stoic face all year round.
"But it doesn't matter. It was within my expectations. " Old Nazhi's lips moved as he slowly said, "Whether it's her or Qiao, young people are always whimsical. They claim that love is sacred and true. I would like to see how firm their love can be!"
Ian:. . . ""
Mr. Nazhi was going to be serious!
"If there's nothing else, you can go and rest first. It will be hard on you tomorrow. " Old Nazhi turned his head and looked at Ian. Only then did he notice, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Oh, it is a small token of appreciation from Miss Hai. It seems that Doctor Haiwen made a special promise. " Hai Xiaomin had indeed asked him to hide it, but she was not sure. Obviously, he would not lie to Old Nazhi.
"Did she bring it here?" The transparent jar was reddish-brown. There seemed to be a strange liquid inside. Old Nazhi's face showed obvious disdain and disgust. "Take it out. Don't dirty my place!"
"Yes. " Ian nodded and left.
Ian did not go anywhere else. He took the opportunity to bring the things back to his room and put them on the table. He seemed to have released all his fatigue and fell straight onto the bed.
The dim and quiet environment made him feel relaxed. He closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
In the blink of an eye, he opened his eyes and subconsciously turned to look at the jar on the table.
The next moment, Ian sat at the table and used a small spoon to scoop the ointment made from the loquat fruit into his mouth. It was still a little hot, but the sweet taste of the loquat and the sweetness of honey spread between his lips and teeth. That kind of sweetness refreshed his heart and mind.
It would be a pity if this thing was lost. . .
