“Drink the soup.” Second Madam returned to the old-fashioned countertop, continuing to wash and chop.
“…Thank you.” Oh my god! She most feared medicinal-tasting supplements, just thinking about it made her shudder.
“Drink quickly, it’ll lose its medicinal effect if it gets cold.” Second Madam glanced at her, seeing her hesitate, her mouth curled.
She made a bitter face and picked up the spoon. If she didn’t drink, this fierce Second Madam would definitely pry open her mouth and force the soup down. She had no doubt that Second Madam was strong enough to easily knock someone down, just by looking at her.
She blew on the soup and brought it to her mouth. The next second, her eyes widened.
This soup is delicious! She had never tasted such delicious chicken soup. Although it looked scary, when it entered her mouth, there was only a rich chicken soup flavor, and not bitter at all.
Second Madam turned back and looked at her, a barely noticeable smile appearing on her old face.
The back door opened, and a thin, tall middle-aged woman with a good temperament walked in with a drooping face.
“Second Madam.” She greeted, floating into the room like a ghost, suddenly turning back to ask: “Who are you?”
“Me?” It’s Wei Zhan Yi, who’s dawdling around, not thinking about how she should introduce herself. “My surname is Ding, called Ding Qing Yan.”
The back door opened with a creak. Talk of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. “Mom, she’s my friend.”
Mom? He called her mom? So she’s Wei Zhan Yi’s mother?
The melancholic woman gave her a gentle smile.
“Shi Xie, Miss Ding is your friend? She’s so beautiful!”
Shi Xie? Wei Shi Xie? Isn’t that his father’s name? Why would his mother call him by his father’s name? She was puzzled and suspicious.
Wei Zhan Yi smiled at his mother without further comment, then turned to ask her. “Finished the soup?”
She nodded blankly.
“I’ll take Qing Yan for a walk nearby, we’ll be back soon.”
He held her hand, pushed open the back door, and walked towards the fresh, green outdoors.
“Your mom calls you Shi Xie?” As soon as they stepped outside, she immediately lowered her voice to ask.
He laughed lightly.
