Chapter 1445 - He Is My Son (18) (1/2)
If that soup had been for Mo Xicheng, Li Shu would have removed the layer of oil that was floating on top. But because it was for Yao Lili, she had poured it into the bowl with the rest of the soup.
With the oil covering it, no steam wasn’t coming out of it, hence the soup looked like it had adequately cooled down.
Because Yao Lili’s mind was on other things, she did not think too much before she downed the liquid in a single gulp.
The next moment…
Her pupils widened and she opened her mouth to spit the soup out. Li Shu spoke in a gentle voice, “What’s wrong? Is the soup not to your taste?”
Yao Lili: …!!
She stared at Li Shu, suddenly not understanding what the woman meant.
But spitting the chicken soup out didn’t seem like the right thing to do.
She steeled herself and swallowed the scalding soup, feeling the liquid burn her throat. Then she spoke, “No, it was just a little hot.”
“Hot?” Li Shu laughed. “Why didn’t I find it hot? Or is that an excuse and you actually don’t want to drink it?”
Yao Lili was stumped by Li Shu’s remark.
Shi Nianyao was completely baffled as she looked at Li Shu.
No one could have known the soup was hot, but just by Yao Lili’s reaction, one could tell it was certainly not cold soup. If Li Shu had wanted to placate Yao Lili and was here to please her idol, she would have never made things difficult for the other woman. But right now, it appeared that Li Shu was doing exactly that.
So what exactly was Li Shu driving at?
As this thought came to her mind, she watched Li Shu cast her gaze down and say impassively, “Drink this soup and I will allow you to move into the Mo family home. I mean what I say.”
Tempted yet again, Yao Lili couldn’t stop herself from lowering her head and looking at the chicken soup. Finally, she gritted her teeth, picked up the bowl and drank it.
The heat of the soup traveled down her gut, making her feel as though she was burning inside.
But she said nothing and drank it all up. After that, she placed the bowl back on the table.
