Chapter 1108: Chapter 1135: He Wants to Leave 18
Of course, it was a convenient excuse to linger, even Li Tingyan’s subordinates were reluctant to leave, unanimously saying,
"We don’t have any work this afternoon, we can hang out at Saozi’s place."
Nianyang pouted, "Are you here to hang out or just to eat the afternoon tea I prepared?"
The men immediately felt a bit embarrassed. Xiao Wu shamelessly replied, "Both, but we really want to try the afternoon tea. Saozi, your cooking is so delicious, the afternoon tea must be even better, how can we not try it?"
Monkey also grinned and said, "I haven’t tasted the pastries Saozi makes yet."
Nianyang burst out laughing, "You’ve all eaten so much you’re burping, how can you still fit more in?"
"When Saozi cooks, we can always fit more!" Dong Hu chuckled and then scratched his head, "Since we’ve eaten Saozi’s food, we need to earn it, Saozi, you take a break while we help clean up this mess."
Nianyang said it wasn’t necessary, that she was the host and couldn’t ask guests to do chores. But these young men, with the purest of intentions, quickly cleaned up the place, afraid of dirtying the beautiful courtyard.
The young men then went off to wash pots and dishes. Nianyang couldn’t say anything more, so she went into the small kitchen to prepare the pastries and afternoon tea.
Luo Lanzhen took the opportunity to bring out the contract for Li Xinya to sign. Li Xinya wrote Nianyang’s name in the guardian column. Even Shang Wan didn’t object, feeling at ease, understanding that she didn’t know much and it was better to let Nianyang handle it.
The adults and elders were full, lacking the energy for afternoon tea, so they all headed home, leaving space for the young ones.
The afternoon tea consisted of mung bean cakes and matcha pastries, served with chrysanthemum tea brewed with Spiritual Spring water, presented exquisitely.
Luo Lanzhen exclaimed, "Nianyang, your culinary skills are amazing! How is everything you make so delicious? Spill your secrets."
The others also looked over curiously.
Nianyang thought, that’s because I have cheats, and replied enigmatically, "That’s a secret; I won’t tell you guys."
Aunt Qiao brought out the chessboard, and Monkey and the others started taking turns playing, while the girls chatted nearby. Luo Lanzhen stepped over to the moon gate to make a phone call.
Shi Nuan leaned against Nianyang enviously and said, "Nianyang, did the Head Coach buy this house for you? It’s beautiful! I love the four-courtyard house style the most!"
Nianyang joked with her, "Saozi, no need to be envious. You’ll have something better. My brother will buy you an even bigger four-courtyard house."
Her brother was even wealthier than Li Tingyan. After all, her man was still indebted to her brother for thirty thousand.
Nianyang wanted to help pay it back, but Li Tingyan wouldn’t agree.
Shi Nuan blushed slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about, what Saozi!"
"Am I intruding at a bad time?"
Lu Xingshen strolled in, his gaze landing on Shi Nuan’s face.
Shi Nuan’s expression stiffened, and Nianyang looked over, "Mr. Lu, I don’t recall inviting you, sorry, we’ve already finished eating. Please see yourself out."
Lu Xingshen didn’t look at Nianyang, stepping in front of Shi Nuan,
"Little Nuan, you haven’t been home for days. Are you going to keep being willful?"
Shi Nuan replied calmly, "I’ve already explained it to you very clearly."
Lu Xingshen smirked, "I don’t understand. If you come with me now, I can pretend nothing happened."
Shi Nuan stated her stance, "I want to stay at school."
Nianyang frowned, "Mr. Lu, Nuannuan is my future Saozi, she will be part of the Chu Family. I hope you won’t interfere too much."
