Chapter 598: Chapter 585: You Understand

However, speaking of the task’s coefficient, Zhuang Qingning immediately thought of the Marriage Stone, and thinking of the Marriage Stone, she thought of Chu Jinnian…

Yes, she couldn’t figure it out alone, didn’t she have Chu Jinnian for that?

Maybe he was more capable in this regard?

Also, there was readily available help, why not use it…?

Zhuang Qingning instantly decided to have Chu Jinnian help, but asking others for help should also bring them some benefits.

Moreover, the debt that she owed for diligence value could be quickly repaid, all thanks to Chu Jinnian’s hard work, so after giving it some serious thought, Zhuang Qingning decided that it was reasonable to thank Chu Jinnian.

So, on the second day’s early morning, before dawn, Zhuang Qingning had already entered the kitchen to prepare red bean rolls.

Xiangqiao was awakened by the noise in the kitchen.

Seeing Zhuang Qingning busy in the kitchen, Xiangqiao rushed in without having freshened up, “Miss, let me do it.”

“If it were any other task, I would let you do it. But this one, I ought to do it myself.”

Otherwise, her intention wouldn’t be conveyed properly.

Seeing this, Xiangqiao didn’t insist further and just fetched some flour, preparing to mix it with eggs to make some egg pancakes and cook some rice and mung bean porridge for breakfast.

By the time Xiangqiao’s breakfast was ready, Zhuang Qingning had also finished preparing the red bean rolls.

They were all neatly placed in a lunch box. Zhuang Qingning planned to simply eat a bite for breakfast, then bring these foods to Qingzhuyuan. However, just as she picked up her bowl, she heard the neighing of horses from outside.

Could it possibly be…

Before Zhuang Qingning had fully formed her suspicion, she saw Chu Jinnian, with a warm smile on his face, walk straight into the courtyard and sit opposite her.

“Why did you come so early? Didn’t you say you would wait for me to finish my work and then go see you?” Zhuang Qingning asked with a smile, instructing Xiangqiao to serve Chu Jinnian a bowl of porridge.

“I was afraid that if you got busy with your own stuff, you might send me flying to the back of your mind.” Chu Jinnian’s mouth twitched, “If that really happened, not only would I be upset, but I would also lose face. So I decided to come directly and avoid many troubles.”

“This time, you’ve really wronged me.”

Zhuang Qingning chuckled, took the lunch box kept aside, opened it, and showed Chu Jinnian, “Look, I woke up early to make red bean rolls for you, and was just about to have breakfast and head to Qingzhuyuan, but you came first.”

In other words, Zhuang Qingning was thinking of him, and she was thinking a lot about him.

Chu Jinnian instantly felt as if he had drunk a glass of cold honey water on a scorching day; he felt incredibly comfortable. The corners of his mouth turned upwards even higher than before as he reached for the lunch box, “If these are for me, then it doesn’t matter where I eat them.”

Saying so, Chu Jinnian picked up a red bean roll and put it in his mouth.

It was soft, sweet, and delicious beyond comparison.

What was more, these were made specially for him by Zhuang Qingning, and they were filled with her feelings for him.

The more Chu Jinnian ate, the tastier he found them, and the more he wanted to stuff all the red bean rolls into his stomach.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Qingning stopped him, “I will make more later. Don’t eat that many at once. Aren’t you afraid to burst your stomach?”
