A cough broke the silence between the two.
Auntie Cui, holding a plate of cut fruit, stood at the door and knocked.
She said with a smile, "Elder Chief says the heating in the room is too strong and it can get quite dry, so he asked me to bring up some fruit for you two to quench your thirst."
Jiang Yi was the first to react, springing up from the chair and saying, "I'm going to the bathroom."
After saying that, she ran off without looking back, shuffling in her slippers.
In the study, only Auntie Cui and Wen Suihan were left, exchanging glances; Wen Suihan, however, remained composed, casually picking up a book from the desk.
After delivering the fruit, Auntie Cui returned to the kitchen.
The Elder Chief walked around the kitchen as if inspecting the work, telling Auntie Cui, "Xiao Han doesn't eat cooked ginger and raw garlic, make sure to cook the garlic thoroughly when preparing the dishes."
"I know, you've already said it twice."
