Chapter 18

Rong Yan was speechless.

The Ning couple’s praise was acceptable, but Rong Yan felt embarrassed when this girl said he was good-looking.

Madam Song froze. She wished she could cover Xiaoxiao’s mouth and stuff her back into the kitchen. Listen to this. Those who didn’t know better would think that she was a lecher! Where did she learn this from?!

However, Xiaoxiao did not realize what was wrong. She even took out a small jar and enthusiastically gave it to Rong Yan. “Here, this is the housewarming gift I prepared for you. It’s the sweet noodle sauce I just made. It’s especially convenient to eat. If you want to eat pancakes or steamed buns, just wipe it on it. If you want to eat noodles, cut the minced meat and stir-fry it with this sauce. The taste can be said to be superb!”

She had made too many noodle sauces. Although the weather was not hot, the sauce could not be used for many days. The young master next door was good-looking and polite. When she saw him, she wanted to feed him. She could not change her habit of wanting to stuff food into her mouth when she saw a beautiful person.

Ning Erlang snorted secretly, “You make it sound like you’ve eaten it before. Huh, I believe you… Can you make it for me? Huh.”

When Rong Yan looked down at the jar of honey, he also saw the swelling on Xiaoxiao’s hand that had yet to disappear. He recalled how she had wrapped herself tightly to hide from the bees and how she had said that this jar of sauce was a gift for him…

So, this honey was for him? Just because he said that he liked sweets?

Recalling how little time they had spent together, Rong Yan’s expression became even weird. Could it be that this girl from the Ning family had taken a fancy to him?

The sweet fragrance from the jar made it difficult for Rong Yan to refuse. Thinking of the Zhao family’s wife’s cooking and touching his aching stomach, he felt very conflicted.

After hesitating for a long time, he found a solution. He called Yunyi to bring the two pieces of meat over and said to Xiaoxiao.

“Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. This is a little gift. I hope you don’t mind.” Returning a bow was reciprocation. This also showed that he only treated Xiaoxiao as a neighbor.

Xiaoxiao’s eyes shone as she looked at the two pieces of meat. She thought, “I don’t mind, I don’t mind. Even if I dislike something, I can’t dislike meat!” Looking at the evenly cut snowflakes and the beautiful white, fat, red, and thin meat, it was obvious that the meat was superior quality and would be fresh and delicious. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had just finished eating, she would have gone to stir-fry a plate of double-cooked meat now!

Before her mom could decline, she took the meat and thanked Rong Yan profusely. Rong Yan left with the noodle sauce.

This was good. As the saying goes, one should not receive a reward without doing something. But now that they were exchanging favors, it was immediately reasonable. However, after a few steps, he instructed Yun Yi, “Send my medicine to the Ning family’s girl.” He did not know if the bee sting could use this medicine, but he had nothing else.

Madam Song was afraid that her daughter would repeat something shocking, so she didn’t bother to return the meat to him.

Rong Yan walked out of the Ning residence and subconsciously quickened his pace. Yun Yi followed behind him, still feeling a little puzzled.

Didn’t he say that he would ask about the meat’s cooking method? Why did he give it away so easily?

And that medicine… the girl was injured?

After putting the sweet noodles sauce on the kitchen shelf, Rong Yan turned around and glanced at Yun Yi, who immediately went to cook the noodles and cut the meat. Although he was not a skilled chef, he could still do such a simple thing.

According to the girl, the salty and slightly sweet minced meat noodles were quickly served in the pot. The white noodles and amber-colored minced meat were mixed with chopsticks. The fragrance entered their noses through the steam. It was not an exaggeration to say that this was the most decent meal since they came to Fortune Village.

Zhao Hu was unsurprised that his nephew was not eating with them today. His wife’s culinary skills… Forget it. Let’s not talk about it.

While eating happily, Madam Song had yet to find a chance to talk to her daughter when another guest came to the house. This time, it was an uninvited guest.
