Chapter 319: Shaving His Beard (4) (2/2)
Ever since the two of them had gotten married, they had rarely gotten the chance to be alone together. Wenqing and Wenlan were very happy about this. When Wenlan came in to deliver their drinks, she didn’t even dare to stay for more than a second. She set down the teapot and quickly retreated.
Senior Servant Zhong had instructed Wenqing and Wenlan about He Changdi’s likes and dislikes, so they knew that he didn’t like sweet things. The honey water that they had made for him was very light. Meanwhile, Chu Lian preferred stronger tastes and liked both spicy and sweet things. The colour of the honey water in the cups was different. Chu Lian’s was slightly darker while He Changdi’s was light.
He Changdi didn’t move. He watched as Chu Lian picked up her teacup and sipped a little from its edge. Her soft, pink lips were now glossy from the water and glistened in the light.
He abruptly sat up and looked at the two cups of honey water. He feigned a solemn mask and asked, “Why does the water in these two cups look different? Could they taste different as well? The honey water in your cup looks tastier.”
After saying so, before Chu Lian could reply, he took the cup that Chu Lian had just drank from and took a sip from it. When he finished drinking, he picked up his own cup and tasted it before shaking his head.
In the end, he moved Chu Lian’s cup to his side. “I’ll have this one.”
Chu Lian was stunned from his sudden string of actions. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open as she stared at her lunatic husband with a weirded out expression.
He Changdi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that by Chu Lian. He knew very well that his actions had been a little strange just now. In order to cover up his actions, he ended up drinking both cups of honey water…
The result of doing so? He Changdi was already full from honey water before it was even time for dinner.
He Changdi only left when it turned to dusk, bringing his two subordinates along with him. Before he left, he called Mo Chenggui, Huang Zhijian, and Manager Qin for a meeting. When Manager Qin came back, he had a suffering expression on his face. Chu Lian tried to ask about what had happened, but he only said that Third Young Master had given him some orders and he couldn’t reveal what they were to Third Young Madam.
