92 You Know Each Other? (1/2)

In the afternoon, as Auntie Chai went to the bathroom, Lu Man took the opportunity to quietly tell Xia Qingwei, ”Mom, Auntie Chai has been taking quite a lot of care of you and since she's getting discharged tomorrow, I want to give her something.”

”Right,” Xia Qingwei agreed with Lu Man, ”We need to thank her.”

However, what should be given to Auntie Chai as a token of gratitude was a difficult question on its own.

Already they owed Han Zhuoli money for her hospital bills and hence did not have much money to spend on a gift.

”But what should we give?” Xia Qingwei became anxious and panicked.

Giving it some thought, Lu Man said, ”Why don't I make some pastry or something, it will be easier for her to take it back home too.”

Even Xia Qingwei felt that Lu Man's idea was quite good.

Hence, once Lu Man returned home, after preparing dinner for Xia Qingwei she also made some Chinese desserts. She even made some more for Zhou Cheng and Xu Hui to try.

Unfortunately, Lu Man did not know that the food she had been preparing all along for them, was being snatched away by Han Zhuoli, not leaving even a single bit for them. Similarly, even the desserts prepared today would not be spared.

Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng who had followed Lu Man home today could only stare wide-eyed at how pretty the desserts that Lu Man made were. With just one look at them, he felt hungry and quickly swallowed his saliva so that he would not be caught drooling at the sight of the desserts. Sadly, although these desserts were made especially for them, Zhou Cheng could only look at them but not taste making him feel very stifled.

Usually, Lu Man would spend the night at the hospital to accompany Xia Qingwei.

Thus, the next morning, she woke up earlier than usual, and immediately went back home to take out the pastries, she had made last night, from the fridge.

Upon returning, she just happened to hear laughter from the hospital room.

”Older Sister Chai, your son has is such a fine-looking man,” Xia Qingwei's voice that seemed to carry a smile could be heard from the hospital room.

”Normally he's so busy with work, I can't even expect him to visit when I'm in the hospital.” Although Auntie Chai was complaining, it was obvious from her tone that she was proud of her son.
