Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Thought It Was Duidui’s Child’s Urine? Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Thought It Was Duidui’s Child’s Urine? Rong Yan turned and entered the kitchen, where the servant responsible for preparing Li Duidui’s hot milk watched her nose and controlled his breath, daring not to speak to her.
Rong Yan didn’t take the initiative to strike up a conversation with anyone. She fortably washed the ginger, sliced it, found a small clay pot in the cupboard, filled it with water, and after boiling it, threw in the ginger slices.
The warm yellow ginger slices tumbled in the boiling water, and soon dyed the water a light yellow. She estimated it was about time, turned off the heat, and poured the water into a bowl nearby.
A large pot of ginger water yielded only a small half-bowl. Rong Yan found another empty bowl, repeatedly pouring the ginger water back and forth. The water gradually cooled as it was transferred from bowl to bowl.
After testing the temperature and finding it suitable, she cleaned the bowl she had used and put it back in its original place. Then, holding the small half-bowl of warm ginger water, just right for drinking, she walked out of the kitchen.
The man who had just finished his bath appeared at just the right moment.
Li Shengxiao casually draped a silk satin robe over his body; the silver-gray robe shimmered under the light, giving off a luxurious feel. Such a noble color was rarely mastered by many—a slightly less sophisticated person would end up diminishing their class rather than enhancing it, and would appear even more ordinary.
But on him, this was not the case.
His broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs perfectly plemented the lazily hung robe, exuding a relaxed elegance. The light gray-white pajamas he wore underneath matched the color perfectly. Along with his handsome face, which left the women of Capital City smitten, and his impressive presence, he mastered the challenging color effortlessly, as if the robe was tailor-made for him.
Rong Yan placed the ginger water on the coffee table and glanced at his still-dripping hair. “I brewed a bowl of ginger water for you. Drink it up. Didn’t you dry your hair after your bath? Here, sit on the couch. I’ll help you dry it.”
“No need, I’ll do it myself.” He walked over to the couch, picked up the hair dryer that Lin Zhiya had used to help Rong Yan and left on the couch, briefly blew his hair, and then moved on.
“This is, ginger water?”
Li Shengxiao frowned lightly, not expecting the light yellow contents in the bowl that looked surprisingly like some other liquid to be ginger water.
His hair, freshly washed and dried, hung loosely over his full forehead, partially covering his sharp eyebrows and greatly softening his facial features, making him appear much gentler than usual.
This was the first time Rong Yan saw such a homely side of him. She could hardly believe that the distinguished helmsman of the Li Group in Capital City could be so… adorable. She couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, blinking her clear, distinct eyes at him, as if she could see right through to what he was thinking, and continued, “Yes, what else did you think it was? Duidui’s baby urine?”
Baby urine… Li Shengxiao found it increasingly difficult to face the light yellow liquid in front of him.
Rong Yan picked up the bowl and passed it to him, “Don’t worry, it’s not baby urine. Baby urine doesn’t cure colds. Why would I make that for you? Drink it quickly, so you don’t catch a cold.”
“…” Li Shengxiao’s brow furrowed so tightly he could have squished a fly, and despite Rong Yan holding the bowl in front of him, he showed no intention of reaching for it.
Rong Yan was just joking with him, but he took it seriously, and she emphasized reluctantly, “It really isn’t baby urine!”
However, the man in front of her clearly didn’t intend to take it. Having no other choice, she took a big sip herself, tiptoed up, hooked her arms around his neck, and kissed him—
