Chapter 16 Gu Jin Yi
Rong Xiu glanced obliquely at the unusual look between Xie Cen and Wen Lan Sheng, but paid no attention to it.
Now all his attention was on Fan Xia. Watching her sink softly into the sofa, her long hair falling from the sofa like spilled ink, his fingertips moved slightly, pretending to casually hook her soft black hair with his fingertips, twining it between his fingers.
"Go make a cup of honey water," he said to Wen Lan Sheng, his back turned, his voice as cold as ice cubes.
Wen Lan Sheng clenched his fists. Was he treating him like one of the Rong family's servants? Fan Xia couldn't pamper him enough at home, and Rong Xiu, an outsider, had no right to order him around.
Wen Lan Sheng didn't move.
Rong Xiu turned his head, half of his face with deep features handsome and gloomy: "Are you deaf?"
Wen Lan Sheng's eyes flashed with anger: "I—"
"Lan Sheng, I remember there's still honey in the kitchen, go make a cup," Wen Ming Yue said to Wen Lan Sheng.
Wen Lan Sheng looked at Wen Ming Yue, his eyes confused and angry.
Wen Ming Yue's tone deepened slightly, taking on a mother's authority: "Go quickly!"
Wen Lan Sheng reluctantly went into the kitchen and dissolved a spoonful of honey in warm water.
There was a pharmacy just outside the community gate downstairs, so it didn't take Xie Cen long to buy medicine. When he returned with the medicine, Wen Lan Sheng was just bringing out the prepared honey water from the kitchen.
"Thank you," Rong Xiu said coldly and distantly, but how much sincerity was in that thanks was unknown.
Seeing that Rong Xiu was not preparing to drink the honey water himself, but wanted to feed it to Fan Xia, Wen Lan Sheng immediately snatched the cup, inserting himself between the two: "Senior, I'll feed Xia Xia. It's getting late, and you have to work tomorrow. I can take care of Xia Xia here, I'll help her to bed in a moment."
The way he said it, he might as well have directly asked people to leave.
"No rush, I'll leave after I see her take the medicine," Rong Xiu unhurriedly adjusted his deep black double-breasted suit of high-end tailoring, stretching out his long legs slightly, his cold and unapproachable ascetic temperament seeming out of place in Fan's fresh and simple cozy little apartment.
Wen Lan Sheng kept telling himself over and over in his heart that he was Xia Xia's top boss, he couldn't tear up faces, he couldn't ruin her future. Only in this way could he persuade himself to endure: "...Alright."
Wen Lan Sheng picked up the stomach medicine and opened the tin foil packaging according to the doctor's instructions, revealing two blue and white capsules.
He gently patted Fan Xia's face and called softly in her ear: "Xia Xia, wake up, take the medicine before going back to sleep, okay?"
Fan Xia opened her eyes dizzily, but her hazy gaze didn't focus on Wen Lan Sheng's face. She lowered her eyes quietly, her long hair falling over her chest, her fair skin delicate and translucent under the warm light. Unlike ordinary people who might change personality or act out when drunk, she was quiet and docile when drunk, like a child.
No, when a child is woken from sound sleep, they might still cry and fuss and act spoiled. She was even easier to coax than a child.
But now she, childlike, was in Wen Lan Sheng's control, her head resting quietly on Wen Lan Sheng's shoulder, obediently swallowing the two stomach pills with the honey water, without even furrowing her brow.
Rong Xiu turned his head to look at her slightly drunk appearance. Under her thick lashes, her eyes were half-closed, her pale thin lips touched with some remaining honey water, glistening like rain-soaked cherry flesh, soft and moist, silently tempting one's heart.
Rong Xiu's eyes darkened slightly, and he pursed his lips imperceptibly.
"Senior, Xia Xia has taken the stomach medicine, you should go back early too," Wen Lan Sheng said to Rong Xiu, his arm protectively around Fan Xia in a defensive posture.
Rong Xiu put down his crossed legs, preparing to stand up...
"What's the rush, Mr. Rong has come all this way to bring Fan Xia back, let him sit for a while longer," Wen Ming Yue said.
Wen Lan Sheng looked at Wen Ming Yue with utter astonishment, feeling worse than being stabbed in the back.
"Mom, I'm also concerned about Senior's safety. It's late, and it's not safe for a man to go home," Wen Lan Sheng said politely, suppressing his anger.
Rong Xiu leisurely leaned back on the sofa, adjusting the frameless glasses on his high, straight nose bridge, his lips curling: "It's alright, Yun Shui Bay has very good security."
Hearing the words "Yun Shui Bay", Wen Ming Yue's eyes immediately lit up. That was a top-tier wealthy area that money might not even be able to buy into. Ordinary people like them couldn't come into contact with big shots of this class in a lifetime, they must seize the opportunity.
"Lan Sheng, hurry and pour some tea for Mr. Rong," Wen Ming Yue said.
