Ruan Haoyang frowned. He had never eaten such light food before, and he just saw Su Anhui heat the prawns in boiling water. How could such food taste good? He doubted it!

However, he had already tried a few other dishes and even drank some soup. The taste was quite good.

Therefore, he decided to give it a try.

He picked up a prawn and tasted it. As expected, the prawn was delicious with its original flavour, fresh and delicious. "Not bad, I thought this dish would be difficult to eat!"

Only then did Su Anhui feel relieved. It was good enough for this man to say something good.

She peeled a few more prawns for Ruan Haoyang before she started to eat.

She ate slowly and rarely. Ruan Haoyang filled three bowls of rice and drank two bowls of soup before she also used half a bowl.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Su Anhui stood up to clean up the dishes. Ruan Haoyang said: "Leave it, Auntie will come over at midnight tomorrow!"

Su Anhui said, "It would smell good if I leave it here at night. You've never cooked here, so I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well tonight. I'll put it away, it's quick."

Ruan Haoyang looked at her busy figure and thought strangely, "In this house, it wouldn't be bad if I had a mistress like his …"

She paced back and forth between the kitchen and the dining hall for three times before she finally cleaned up the table and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

If it wasn't for the agreement, Ruan Haoyang really couldn't help but ask her: Such consideration and kindness, could it be that he had some sort of motive …

This kind of woman was beautiful and considerate, knew how to cook, and the food she cooked tasted good. It was really easy to capture a man's heart …

If she really had a goal, then that was the only one.

Yes, perhaps her goal was to capture her heart.

However, he was angered by the fact that this woman had already told him earlier that she did not have any ulterior motives towards him.

Looking at the long and slim figure at the entrance of the kitchen, he got angry for no reason.

Why did she have to be so clear about it?

He suddenly realized why he would be angry at this sort of thing. Why do I feel like she doesn't have that kind of heart for me … On the contrary, it was a bit dejected?

Ruan Haoyang shook his head and watched the Anhui people busy themselves for a while. Then he sat in front of the TV and watched the TV. A thought that surprised even himself popped into his mind. He suddenly felt that his grandmother's suggestion was actually not bad.

If this woman wasn't just an ordinary friend, then … There's nothing really bad about it, is there?

"Yes!" As he turned on the television and stared at the busy figure at the kitchen door, a beautiful voice interrupted his reverie.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and calmly looked to the front, saying indifferently, "En, alright."

He waited for a while but the Anhui didn't come out. He turned his head again out of curiosity and was about to ask when he heard the Anhui say, "I'll make a pot of tea for you!"

"Oh, okay!" He was even more surprised. This woman was too familiar with him. Strangely, he was not angry at all, and even enjoyed this feeling. He was truly baffled. The him of today, was simply too weird.

It must be because that woman had defended him tonight, making him feel that he owed her. Yes, it must be like this!

"Drink it!" After waiting for a few minutes, Su Anhui came out with a cup of fragrant tea.

Ruan Haoyang nodded and only looked at the hem of Su Anhui's apron, not even daring to look at her face.

He took the tea cup from Su Anhui and was shocked. He frowned slightly as a sense of unhappiness overcame him, dispersing all the weird feelings.

"What tea is this?" He frowned and opened the teacup under Su Anhui's burning gaze.

The familiar smell, the familiar plum blossom fragrance, such a clear and sweet fragrance …

It had been so long since he had been familiar with it, and he was even looking forward to it. How … how could it be possible for him to appear at this time?

He had already completely dispelled his worries about the Soviet government. After much difficulty, he wanted to get along with a woman.

But why did this woman's cup of tea interrupt everything so easily?

"Bang! Dong!" He heavily placed the teacup onto the tea table. The green, sharp tea leaves within swayed and splashed out a puddle of water.

His face went completely cold, but Su Anhui on the side wasn't surprised at all. Looking at his expression, there was a flash of unfathomable emotion in his eyes.

"What's wrong? "Don't you like to drink Maojian?" Su Anhui's voice was weak as he asked knowingly.

She sat down at the side and silently admired the rare and wonderful change on the face of this paralyzed man.

Yes, she had done it on purpose. She had always wanted to attune this man, always wanted to know how he would be angry and lost, even sad.

At this moment, Su Anhui saw anger on his face. Even though she had some misgivings, she was very happy, and secretly delighted in her success.

"What kind of water is this?" Ruan Haoyang turned off the television and turned his head. Although his cold face was scary, it couldn't compare to his ice-cold tone at the moment.

"Snow water!" Su Anhui blinked and looked innocently at Ruan Haoyang as if he had done something wrong.

Ruan Haoyang took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress his emotions. He asked Su Anhui, "Where did it come from?"

"The refrigerator!" Su Anhui said matter-of-factly, "When I was cleaning the fridge, I found a lot of snow water from the winter. I smelled it and found it was collected from the plum blossoms. Judging by the weather, you've kept the snow water for at least half a year. You probably don't remember anymore, so I took it out to melt it and brewed a cup of tea for you!"

"Who allowed you to do that?" Hearing her words, Ruan Haoyang gritted his teeth and slowly said each word. His expression was grim, as if his bottom line was being stepped on. He was truly angry.

"I …" His eyes turned red as his hands fidgeted with the hem of his apron, "I thought... "I'm sorry!"

She said nothing, only lowered her head as if he was extremely wronged. Seeing her like this, Ruan Haoyang couldn't even utter a word.

Her appearance was so aggrieved and tolerant, as if she had suffered a great anger of her own. She looked as if she was being bullied. As such, he was unable to vent out his anger.

Su Anhui saw that his ink-like eyes were filled with anger but not grievance. She lowered her head slightly to hide the smile in her eyes, but she asked innocently, "Could it be that this snow water is …" is it that you can't move, that you can't use it? " This snow water was something that he had to collect every year.

This man who never did anything complicated, would harvest two big boxes of snow on the Plum Blossom Tree in the Ruan Mansion's courtyard bit by bit and keep them in the fridge every winter.

If he didn't brew tea, he wouldn't melt it and drink it.

Instead, it was stored in the refrigerator until the winter of the following year, when the plum blossoms would bloom and the snow would fly away to replace the new snow, only then would the old snow in the fridge be discarded.

He had never loved that woman seven years ago.

The only thing she left for herself was a baby boy, and … Faint thoughts.

That feeling of longing was so faint that even he himself wouldn't be able to notice it, much less think of her on his own accord.

However, whenever the Tulily of the Plum Blossom was in the snow, he would unconsciously do these things.

He was not being stubborn nor was he trying to be brave. Rather, other than this, he had never once thought of that woman. He couldn't even remember if there was anything like that in the fridge!

But this Shen Mi'er who had melted that snow, with the rain and the fragrance of plum blossoms, had done the same thing as that woman of yesteryear — brewed tea from the snow on the plum blossoms!

Naturally, the Anhui knew that when she found the snow water in the fridge, she sneered silently.

She purposely used this snow water to make tea in front of Ruan Haoyang. He wanted to see what expression this man would have.

She had calculated it accurately. Indeed, she was infuriated.

"Who exactly are you?" Ruan Haoyang raised his eyes and glared fiercely at Su Anhui.

Su Anhui looked at him innocently, but he did not cower and said, "I am Shen Mi'er!"

"Why, why do you always remind me of her? Not only is it similar to her demeanor, but this hobby … It's the same, who the hell are you? " Ruan Haoyang looked deeply into the eyes of Su Anhui, as if he wanted to find some clues there.

Not only had she brought up the matter that she didn't want to think about the most, but she had also brought up her own guilt towards that woman. Damn it …

"I … I'm sorry …" Su Anhui had an innocent look on her face, but she was very happy inside.

She would be happy to see Ruan Haoyang's anger.

The room suddenly became silent. It seemed that even the surroundings were quiet at such a high floor.

Ruan Haoyang didn't say anything, but sized up the people of Su Anhui with a thoughtful look.

"Come here!" He didn't know how much time had passed, but it seemed that Su Anhui was about to be pierced by his gaze. Just as he was thinking whether he should say something, Ruan Haoyang's voice came over.

Su Anhui looked up and saw his black eyes were like an ancient well, calm without any ripples. He called out to them calmly.

"Go, go where?" Although his eyes were calm and his tone was surprisingly calm, there was a sense of foreboding in his heart.

She seemed to have gone a bit overboard. This man … Probably too angry.

"Come here, don't let me say it a third time!" Ruan Haoyang's voice was calm and indifferent. In the silence, it seemed somewhat frightening.

"I, I …" When the Anhui saw him pat the sofa beside him, they knew they could not avoid it.

He decided to obey him for once, so he walked over obediently.

"Sit here!" Seeing that Su Anhui was sitting far away from him, far away from his "designated" position, he called out again patiently.

After a moment of stalemate, Su Anhui reluctantly moved a little closer to him.

Before she could get close to him, he stretched out his ape arm and grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her to his side.

Although Su Anhui had been prepared for this, he had taken action due to his lack of preparation. Plus, he had used a lot of strength. Su Anhui leaned forward awkwardly and was easily pulled to his side.

"You …" He did not pull himself into his arms, but held him with one hand while his other hand circled around his neck and quickly untied his apron from the back of his head.
