Shen Jue looked at Rong Qingqing, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him, evidently waiting for him to show some concern.
Suddenly, he chuckled, "In that case, just... drink more hot water."
After speaking, Shen Jue turned and walked into the dining room, leaving Lin Bufan stunned for a few seconds before jogging to catch up.
"What’s his problem?" Rong Qingqing turned to ask the young nurse, "Is he brainless? Why did he suddenly tell me to drink more hot water?"
The young nurse shook her head. If Mr. Shen was concerned about Miss Rong, then drink more hot water—is that caring?
Moreover, the way Mr. Shen laughed when saying it didn’t seem like concern.
It felt more like teasing.
"But why did Miss Rong say you were toughing it out with Mr. Shen?" The young nurse looked puzzled.
"I have my reasons." Rong Qingqing clicked her tongue, then laughed, "Drink more hot water, haha."
Thinking it over, Rong Qingqing felt Shen Jue was mocking her.
She feigned weakness so that next time she accidentally stumbled into Shen Jue’s arms, she could use dizziness as an excuse.
Shen Jue is just a jerk.
As everyone got up, Nanny Zhao went to the kitchen to bring out the prepared breakfast.
There were the beef dumplings Rong Qingqing had specifically requested the night before.
"Young Master Shen, what would you like to drink this morning? We have red bean soup, green bean soup, tremella soup, milk, soy milk," Nanny Zhao asked.
Hearing this, Rong Qingqing suddenly got an idea and blurted out, "Nanny Zhao, Shen Jue wants a cup of hot water!"
The young nurse and Lin Bufan burst into laughter.
Nanny Zhao stood there, puzzled.
Shen Jue gave Rong Qingqing a meaningful look and seeing her provocatively raise her eyebrows at him, Shen Jue wasn’t angry.
He instead turned to Nanny Zhao and said, "I want red bean soup, get Rong Qingqing a bowl of green bean soup to cool her temper, and prepare a serving of pig brain for her at noon to boost her brain."
Rong Qingqing sat there, dumbfounded.
Never back down from a fight.
Rong Qingqing huffed, turning her head, "Nanny Zhao, then prepare a big pig trotter for Shen Jue at noon, to boost his feet!"
She had just finished speaking when Rong Qingqing shook her head, "Forget it, pork is expensive lately, don’t buy a big pig trotter, Nanny Zhao, just get Shen Jue two pounds of chicken feet!"
Rong Qingqing glared at Shen Jue, "He doesn’t want hot water in the morning anymore, he wants a bowl of green bean soup to cool off."
The whole table fell silent. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Even Guo Lan and Nanny Zhao were stunned.
Neither of them expected Rong Qingqing to suddenly mention Shen Jue’s foot.
This was the first time anyone had said something in front of Shen Jue since his accident.
Everyone feared Shen Jue might get angry and storm off.
But to everyone’s surprise, Shen Jue sat there, as calm as ever, not showing the slightest sign of anger.
Rong Qingqing saw everyone watching her and Shen Jue, she clicked her tongue and then urged Nanny Zhao to quickly go to the kitchen to bring out the green bean soup.
When Nanny Zhao brought out the green bean soup, Rong Qingqing took it and plunked it down right in front of Shen Jue, aggressively, "Your temper’s so big this morning, drink it up and cool down! Forget meat, just have some greens and radishes!"
Then she took another bowl of green bean soup and placed it in front of herself, smiling as she reached for the beef dumplings.
"Nanny Zhao, the beef dumplings are delicious!" Rong Qingqing took a bite, smiling as she praised.
The atmosphere at the dining table finally relaxed again, and everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
