Chapter 316

Lin Qi's expression changed, and he immediately strode over.

He pulled Lin Miao into his embrace.

He lowered his head and kissed Lin Miao.

"I don't dislike you, Miaomiao, I like you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Miao immediately became intoxicated by the kiss; she knew that as long as she put her mind to it, any man would like her, let alone Lin Qi, whom she had grown up with and understood the best!

——

On this day, just as Shu Xia was about to get off work, she received a call from Shu Xuan.

He said he had time off on the weekend and wanted her to come home, as he had good news to announce.

Shu Chen would be coming home then too, and Shu Hong had also finished the college entrance examination.

The whole family would celebrate together.

After Shu Xia agreed, she first went to Laozhai to see Qiao Nainai; just after entering Laozhai and having barely exchanged two sentences with Qiao Nainai, she was handed a bowl of soup by Housekeeper Qin.

"Young Madam, this soup is for nourishing the body. I heard that the Young Madam previously donated blood many times and injured her health; this soup can very well replenish Qi and blood."

Housekeeper Qin said to Shu Xia with a beaming smile.

"Just drink a little; you won't be able to finish such a big bowl." The more Qiao Nainai looked at Shu Xia, the more delighted she felt in her heart.

Xia Xia was indeed capable.

Look at how little time it had taken for her to make Mu Ting lose his heart; if things went on like this, a great-grandson wouldn't be far off.

As for women he didn't like, let alone touching them, Mu Ting wouldn't even glance at them.

Otherwise, over so many years, given the status Mu Ting held, even if there weren't a hundred women pestering him, there would have been dozens, and she might have already had a dozen great-grandsons.

However, no one could compare to Xia Xia.

Shu Xia took it and drank it; the taste was very light and also very delicious, with a faint medicinal fragrance and a hint of sweetness.

One could tell at a glance that it was soup Housekeeper Qin had brewed with care.

"It's very delicious, thank you, Housekeeper Qin." Shu Xia immediately expressed her thanks.

This wasn't just being polite; it was genuinely delicious. She had originally thought such soup wouldn't taste very good. Before her rebirth, no matter how much blood she donated, Chen Xiuyue and Lin Guanda would be indifferent, thinking she was young and had a good body that would recover quickly, and they had never bothered to prepare any blood-nourishing and Qi-replenishing soup for her.

Yet Qiao Nainai and Housekeeper Qin were able to think of it.

And they treated her with sincere hearts.

"As long as it's delicious, later on, I'll have someone send it to Xinghai Villa every day." Housekeeper Qin could tell that Shu Xia was thanking her sincerely.

She also sincerely wanted to be good to Shu Xia.

When Qiao Muting arrived, this was the harmonious scene he saw.

Seeing Qiao Muting, Qiao Nainai rolled her eyes in disdain, "Why are you only here now?"

"I was a bit busy this afternoon."

"Didn't you arrive at the airport at noon? Did you rush to the company again? You only know how to be busy every day; spend more time with Xia Xia when you have nothing to do." Qiao Nainai huffed.

She knew her own grandson too well.

Shu Xia looked toward Qiao Muting.

After she discovered Qiao Muting waking up in her room that morning, she had forgotten how Qiao Muting had proposed the request; she had just woken up at the time and was still a bit groggy, her reaction a bit slow, but she had still agreed to move to his room.

However, on the day she moved to his room, he went on a business trip, and they hadn't seen each other for these two days.

She had originally thought he would need a few more days to return, but she hadn't expected him to be back today.

Qiao Muting sensed that Shu Xia was looking at him.

He also looked over.

"Is the soup good?" he asked.

Shu Xia was still holding the bowl, with half the soup left inside, "Mm, it's delicious."

Qiao Muting nodded, "That's good."

Qiao Nainai and Housekeeper Qin exchanged glances; they hadn't expected Qiao Muting to be able to take the initiative to care about someone.

Then, even more incredibly, Qiao Muting said, "Grandma, if there's nothing else, we'll head back first."

Qiao Nainai had just taken a sip of water, and upon hearing Qiao Muting's words, she almost spat it out!
