"Don’t worry... Nangong Yaoling will make sure soone keeps an eye on the antidote..."
They’ve kept such a good eye on it that even I can’t find it!
"And besides, that person probably won’t co back for now." Situ Yan wouldn’t be so foolish to throw himself into a trap when he knows soone is waiting to catch him.
Nangong Zhongli nodded, a look of relief crossing her beautiful face: "That’s good. As long as you and my brother are fine, I’m relieved."
Xia Xiaonuan nodded.
After chatting for a while, Yun prepared lunch.
The air was filled with the aroma of food. Xia Xiaonuan looked at the dishes on the table. Yun had made scallion chicken again, a favorite of Xia Xini during her last visit to the Xia Family.
But Xia Xiaonuan didn’t think much of it.
Liang Yuzhu said, "I don’t have an appetite yet. I don’t feel like eating."
Xia Xiaonuan smiled, "That’s fine. Nangong Yaoling will be back late anyway. I figure you won’t have the patience to wait that long. If our food doesn’t suit your taste, I won’t force you..."
Liang Yuzhu was taken aback.
Then she quickly stood up, touched her stomach, and said, "I guess I’m feeling a bit hungry. Even if it’s not as good as my chef’s, I’ll eat a bit for Zhong Li’s sake."
Nangong Zhongli and Xia Xiaonuan exchanged a smile.
After lunch, Xia Xiaonuan thought Xia Xini would leave, but to her surprise, Xia Xini spoke up: "Xiaonuan... do you have mahjong at ho? There are exactly four of us. How about a few rounds?"
"What?" Xia Xiaonuan was shocked.
"Mahjong? I’m not really good at it..." She often saw the elderly at the welfare ho playing mahjong. After watching for a long ti, she could barely join in.
But over the years, she had almost forgotten everything.
"No worries, you’ll get better with practice. Just a few rounds!"
Xia Xiaonuan: ...
"Tsk..." Liang Yuzhu sat on the sofa, touching up her makeup with a Chanel compact, and said without lifting an eyelid, "Playing mahjong depends on the people. I’m not playing with just anyone!"
"Yuzhu..." Nangong Zhongli sighed helplessly.
"What, are so people scared? Afraid they’ll co clothed and leave naked?" Xia Xini deliberately provoked.
Liang Yuzhu slamd her bag onto the table: "Pah! Who do you think I am? , afraid of you? I’m just worried you won’t have money to pay if you lose!"
"Don’t worry. The Xia family may be poor, but we’ve got Xiaonuan. Nangong Empire won’t mind us borrowing a bit!" Xia Xini countered.
Xia Xiaonuan felt the urge to escape.
"No way... you guys go ahead. I really can’t..."
This ti, Nangong Zhongli also got interested and pulled her: "Xiaonuan, just a few rounds. If you get tired, Yun can take over!"
"Ah... okay." Xia Xiaonuan was exasperated.
What’s wrong with these people!! I just want the antidote!
...
Nangong Yaoling stepped out of the company eting room.
He glanced at his watch. It was already four o’clock.
He wondered how Xia Xiaonuan was doing?
Rubbing his temples, he reached out and picked up the phone on the desk.
"Young Master... everything is fine at ho... The Young Madam... The Young Madam is playing mahjong in the side room!"
"What? Playing mahjong?"
Nangong Yaoling’s face darkened.
"Yes, Miss Zhong Li, Miss Liang, and the Young Madam’s sister are here. The four of them are having a heated ga! The Young Madam has won a lot and can’t stop smiling!" Wu Da said, glancing towards the side room, unable to hide his amusent.
Nangong Yaoling: ...
