She had originally planned to spend the next few days in the provincial capital, looking for a shopfront and a factory that made paper boxes, as she needed to order packaging for her tea snacks.
But Chiang Songhai’s sudden arrival had disrupted all her plans.
"Since you just need to go back and get some things mailed over, why not just make a phone call back home and have Hu Xibing fetch them? Aren’t your uncle’s family still there?" Meng Xinian’s mind worked quickly, and he immediately had an idea. "Tell them where the stuff is, have uncle fetch it for Hu Xibing, and let him mail it over for you. That way it’s faster, saving you the trouble of going back on the road for a day."
Chiang Xiao felt like she had dug a big hole and buried herself in it.
Where were there any Ganoderma Lucidum Slices at home!
They were all in her Space!
For the best medicinal effect, she would always directly pick the freshest ones from the Space to make Ganoderma water, which also had the strongest potency.
Her fear was that taking them out now would make Chiang Songhai suspicious. Who goes on a trip and brings along so many Ganoderma Lucidum Slices? They had often drunk it at Tea Garden Villa, and after a month they hadn’t finished yet?
Now she had trapped herself.
She was somewhat at a loss for words.
After thinking for a long time, she finally said, "My room is locked. The things are inside my room; uncle’s family can’t get them."
"Is there something in your room that you don’t want them to see?" Meng Xinian asked.
"This is easy," Meng Xinian said earnestly, "just have them smash the lock first. After they get in and take the stuff, you can replace it with a new lock. At most, I’ll reimburse you for the lock replacement."
Did she look like someone who needed the money for a lock?
The main issue was, there really were no Ganoderma Lucidum Slices in her room, truly none!
Chiang Xiao was about to go crazy.
"No need, we don’t have much else to do anyway. Since grandpa is in such a hurry to get back, let’s go back first!"
"Chiang Xiaoxiao, let’s be reasonable. We haven’t settled our account yet. Are you thinking of slipping away?" Meng Xinian stood up, looking down at Chiang Xiao from above, and for some reason, he just didn’t want her to go back so soon.
"What account is there left?" Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes. Tyrant Meng, can you act any more childish?
If everything is explained clearly, that’s fine. Still holding onto her , does that seem like the behavior of a grown man?
Meng Xinian raised his right hand, showing her his still bandaged hand.
Chiang Xiao was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"I hurt my hand because I was angered by you. You should at least help me change my dressing for three days."
"You can go back to the district, isn’t there a doctor there? A doctor is much more professional than me!" Chiang Xiao glared at him. What did he mean by being angered by her? Was she really supposed to carry this pot that she couldn’t drop?
"That Doctor Liu in our district," Meng Xinian said indifferently, glancing at her, "is on good terms with that woman surnamed Du and wants to play matchmaker."
"So there’s only one doctor available?"
"Indeed, our Xinying District temporarily only has that one doctor," Meng Xinian said.
Chiang Xiao gritted her teeth, "Then let her play matchmaker, does that mean you have to follow her matchmaking?"
"Chiang Xiaoxiao," Meng Xinian flicked her forehead, speaking irritably, "though you’re still young, you should fiercely guard what or who is yours. Understand? It’s a matter of principle."
Chiang Xiao found it amusing and burst out laughing, "Tyrant Meng, are you advising me to hold on tight to you, is that it? Fiancé."
