"Xiao Jiu, don't leave in a while. The estate just delivered some fresh vegetables. You should try them," Lian Manman said with a smile to Shen Qian. "If you want to eat anything special, just tell me, and I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you."
Seeing Lian Manman so considerate, Shen Qian felt both warm at heart and a bit embarrassed, as if he was being treated like a child. Meanwhile, Xiao Qi was beside them, grinning happily.
"Sis, ask the kitchen to make more pastries..." Xiao Qi interrupted before Shen Qian could speak, "Brother Xiao Jiu is staying at our house all day today and will go back after dinner."
"Alright," Lian Manman nodded with a smile and instructed Xiao Qi to keep Shen Qian company, then she went back to her room with her people.
Returning to the backyard, Lian Manman went to Lady Zhang's room first. Lady Zhang was doing needlework with a few maidservants, and she put her work down when she saw Lian Manman.
