When Shao Yunduan was away, she felt that the whole house was empty, though he was the only one missing.
Once he was back, the empty feeling suddenly disappeared. It felt as if the home was complete again.
She did not try to purposefully feel sp. She just had a slight sense of easiness, relaxation and quietness.
Shao Yunduan looked gentle and answered happily, picking up the soup bowl to drink.
The chicken soup had been stewed long enough to be fragrant and delicious. The aroma of red dates and ginkgo blended with the aroma of chicken. Every mouthful warmed the stomach and quickly replenished the energy of the body that had been consumed, making his mood change for the better.
Shao Yunduan suddenly felt greedy. He wished that this kind of warmth and peace would never be taken away from him.
Shao Yunduan felt tired and needed to relax and rest. After finishing the soup, he went back to the room and slept.
Lixia and Liqiu were glad and exchanged a few happy words with Qiao Xuan, congratulating her.
They had been living so freely and happily after moving to the Shao Family. Hence, they wished that the Shao Family would get better.
In this way, they could just stay with the Shao Family forever.
Qiao Xuan was glad but did not lose her rationality. She reminded them. "The result is not certain yet, so nothing can be sure until the final result is out. We can talk amongst ourselves, but no conversation outside. If someone asks about this, don't say anything, alright?"
Some neighbors kept asking about Shao Yunduan's situation, when they ran into each other in the market.
Lixia and Liqiu nodded sincerely.
"We won't, don't worry!'
"Yeah, we are not in a hurry. We will be patient. The result will be out soon, and at that time, we will talk about this freely."
That was the right plan.
"Do remember to keep your mouth sealed!"
For dinner, Qiao Xuan made gastrodia elata pigeon soup, cooked soft- shelled turtle and chicken nuggets, steamed mandarin fish, shrimp and egg, green pepper beef, garlic lettuce, fungus and yam. It was to treat Shao Yunduan well.
He ate casual food during the past nine days and must have been fed up. He was lucky that Qiao Xuan had prepared some dried pork and beef to help him sustain during the tough period.
Shao Yunduan was glad to see a table full of dishes.
He was greedy to have them all.
Qiao Xuan noticed the way he reacted. Feeling satisfied and glad, she said modestly, "These are just casual dishes I have cooked. Eat them to make yourself energetic again."
Shao Yunduan smiled brightly. "Okay, I will eat it all!"
Qiao Xuan felt her heart sweeten and she smiled. "Help yourself!"
Shao Yunduan smiled slowly, and picked steamed mandarin fish with chopsticks for Qiao Xuan. The snow-white fish was dipped in a rich sauce. It looked tender and delicious. This dish had always been Qiao Xuan's favorite.
"Sorry to worry you.. Darling, please eat some too!"
