Sending Gifts

He Ning and his attendant did not go far. Instead, they stood just outside the wall of the Xia family's house. Not long after, they could smell a nice fragrance coming from the kitchen.

The attendant secretly swallowed his saliva. Now he understood why He Ning was unwilling to leave the Xia family's house. However, did He Ning intend to just stand outside the wall and smell the fragrance?

Of course, He Ning did not just want to smell it. He was waiting for the men of the Xia family to return home and then follow them in to eat with them. The men would be too embarrassed to reject him, right?

However, by the time the sky was completely dark and they could hear the sound of dishes being washed inside the house, the men of the Xia family still had not returned.
