The next time Wang Jingyuan went to the Shao Manor, she went with no less than twenty different questions to test whether Shao Wenbo actually paid attention to her likes and dislikes. After all, if someone really likes you, they should pay attention to all details about you.
"Jing-Jing! You're finally here." Shao Wenbo greeted her with a wide smile.
"Wenbo-ge, I brought you mung bean cakes again." Wang Jingyuan held out the wrapped package. Shao Wenbo's eyes lit up.
"Thank you, Jing-Jing. I prepared something for you today too; come, come." He ushered her to the pavilion in the garden, where they usually had their meals. The stone table at the center of the pavilion was filled with platters of food. "I know you usually make food, but I heard the servants talk about this new restaurant and how the food was very good. I ordered us a meal from there."
