Just as she was about to leave, her hand was tightly gripped by Yan Kuan. Seeing that her lips were about to land on his, Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head to the side uncomfortably. The two of them instantly felt a little awkward.
“You just woke up. Rest well. Old Man Yao said that you can’t have too much of an emotional fluctuation. Otherwise, the poison in your blood will also speed up. I’ll go back first. I’ll come back to see you tomorrow.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was telling the truth, and Yan Kuan naturally knew it. However, this was a rare opportunity. Seeing that he had missed it again, he felt that it was an extreme pity, but he couldn’t force it. Knowing that this girl was extremely stubborn, he nodded and said:
.
“Sigh, alright. Now that I’m poisoned, I don’t know if it can be cured. However, with Xiaoxiao by my side, I feel much better. You’ve been tired all day. Old Man Yao and the others will develop an antidote. Don’t worry. Even if it doesn’t work, I’ll arrange a way out for you. You don’t have to worry for the rest of your life. It’s just that I can’t be with you. And your things, you have to put them away yourself, understand?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan. His eyes were full of affection, and his words were gentle and soft. What should have been an incomparably warm scene made Shen Xiaoxiao’s scalp tingle.
She nodded in a somewhat embarra.s.sed manner and said, “I understand. I’ll be leaving first. You should rest first!”
Shen Xiaoxiao almost ran away in panic. Yan Kuan, on the other hand, smacked the table after she left. She was actually unmoved. It was really difficult to pry the key out.
After she walked out of the room, Shen Xiaoxiao did not dare to turn back to look at the person lying on the bed. At this moment, she suddenly did not want to think about anything else…
…
“Has Third Uncle informed anyone?”
After a long time, Shen Xiaoxiao finally said her first words of the night in the car. 19 looked at her and immediately replied, “Third Uncle said that it doesn’t matter if the dates are bitter. The dates by the East River are sweet. When I come back, I’ll make your favorite date cake.”
“Oh, I’ve thought about it for many years. I’ve been thinking about it abroad. If Third Uncle can make it for me, I’ll be able to relieve my homesickness.”
“So Miss likes to eat this. Why didn’t you say so earlier? I could have asked the chef to make it for you.”
“It’s different. One tastes like home, and the other doesn’t…”
19 didn’t have any relatives, so he didn’t know what the taste of his hometown was like, so he didn’t say anything more. He didn’t dare to mention the matter of his Boss being poisoned, because everyone in the base, no, anyone who had ever met Madam knew that, in order to cure the Suoyin Flower Tears, the Black Ganoderma was needed.
The Boss had the Black Ganoderma, but 19 knew very well that in order to cure the poison of the Black Ganoderma, they needed the half of the Shen family key in Miss’ hand.
Miss valued the Shen family more than her life, not to mention that she needed to use the key. To Miss, this was between the inheritance of her family and the man she loved, and also the father of the child in her belly.
The Miss’ choice was really a big problem.
However, he felt that it should not be difficult for the Miss to choose. After all, this dead thing was not as important as a living person. Therefore, the Miss only needed time to think clearly.
“19, you also think that I should save him, right?”
“Miss, don’t you want to save Boss?”
19 expressed that he was inexplicably surprised by Shen Xiaoxiao’s words. He felt that the Miss was a little too ruthless?
“Save him. Why won’t I save him? I will definitely save Yan Kuan. I will definitely save him!”
19’s heart relaxed. As he had said, how could Miss bear to see Boss suffer? His heart was finally at ease. He was no longer anxious.
19 instantly relaxed. Shen Xiaoxiao naturally felt it. She did not speak anymore.
In the bathroom of the bedroom, Shen Xiaoxiao took out her phone. She looked at the message. It was blank. It seemed that she still had to wait. She put her phone away and slowly walked out of the bathroom.
…
“Miss, this is the jujube cake that Boss asked someone to make for you. Last night, you said that you wanted to eat it. Take a look and see if it tastes like this. Also, Boss asked Xiao Fang to make this bird’s nest porridge.”
Xiao Fang, the cook in the villa, was also a member of the Dark Empire. Anyway, this woman had been managing the kitchen since Shen Xiaoxiao had moved in here.
She spoke very little, as if the people of the Dark Empire were people who spoke very little. Every day, she could see that she was working very hard. Other than asking if she needed to fill the bowl with rice, she usually did not say anything else.
When Shen Xiaoxiao came down, she happened to see Xiao Fang placing the bird’s nest porridge and jujube cake on the dining table.
She raised her eyebrows and slowly walked down the stairs. She stared at the breakfast with some disgust and some emotion and said, “19, I told you that this is not the taste of my hometown. The jujube paste cake made by Third Uncle will not be sprinkled with a layer of white sugar. If it’s fake, then it’s fake. It can’t be cheated.”
19’s heart was stifled. Why did this Miss’ words sound a little strange? Also, the jujube paste cake looked pretty good. It was quite exquisite.
“19, I still want to eat wonton. Let’s go eat wonton. The business there is so good. If we are late, I’m afraid we will have to wait in line again.”
19 looked at the bird’s nest porridge on the table and at Xiao Fang who had not left in time. In the end, he said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Miss, why don’t you have some bird’s nest porridge? Boss asked someone to cook it.”
“No, I don’t want to. Your Boss said that I have to remember my status. How can a person like me have bird’s nest porridge? Xiao Fang, you can have it. No one will see it anyway. 19, let’s go.”
Miss was still angry? But the Boss was already like this, so the Miss shouldn’t be angry, right?
19 didn’t show it on the surface, but in his heart, he still felt that Miss was a little stingy. However, Miss and the Boss were both extremely stubborn people. She said that she wouldn’t drink it, so she wouldn’t drink it. Moreover, 19 also felt that letting Xiao Fang drink it instead of her… The Boss might even think that Missy had drunk it. How could she deceive him like that?
The simple 19’s thoughts were usually very simple. He looked at Xiao Fang, who was not much older than him but spoke less than Dark 1, and directly pushed the bird’s nest porridge in front of her.
Xiao Fang was stunned. She definitely did not think that she would suddenly have to drink it herself. However, she had personally poured something into it, so how could she drink it?
However, if she didn’t drink it, would she be discovered?
Xiao Fang was a cook who had been hired on the way back. No matter how well she had trained before, for 19, who had grown up in the Dark Empire, it was just a change in her gaze. 19 instantly felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Fang’s gaze was not right!
He had thought that Xiao Fang would be unwilling and afraid, but he had never thought that Xiao Fang’s gaze would be guarded. Yes, it was definitely guarded.
As a secret guard, he was the most sensitive to changes in the eyes. Just as he was about to take further action to find out what had gone wrong or if there was something wrong with the bird’s nest porridge, Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke at the door:
“19, hurry up. I’m hungry. There are a lot of things to do today.”
19 glanced at Xiao Fang and clenched his fingers. He turned around and followed Shen Xiaoxiao out of the door.
