Chapter 54 should taste like the spicy snacks you ate.
Chapter 54 should taste like the spicy snacks you ate.
Zhang Xinru was dumbfounded.
Why did they have to eat spicy strips of all things? The smell is so strong, and they make a mess of everything. I'm speechless.
Aunt Wang kindly offered, "Want one?"
Zhang Xinru shook her head and refused, "I'm not eating it. You can eat it yourself!"
Wang Ma: "Fine, don't eat it then."
Not long after, Jiajia was awakened by the smell of spicy strips.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
When Wang Ma saw that she had woken up, she said happily, "Miss Jiajia, you're awake! The young master has something to do at the company, he'll be back in a bit."
Ye Jiajia didn't want to know anything about Fu Xiaochen, and hoped he would never come back.
"Wang Ma, what are you eating? It smells so strong."
Aunt Wang shook the things in her hand, "Spicy strips, would you like some, Miss Jiajia?"
Then she pointed to Zhang Ma, "She ate red date cake."
If it's a snack that everyone ate together, you can't just ask her.
Zhang Xinru was speechless: "..." What a Wang Ma, she never forgets to include her in this kind of thing!
Ye Jiajia was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I won't eat it, you guys eat it!"
Then he turned to look to the side and saw that his right hand was receiving an IV drip.
"What's wrong with me?"
Zhang Xinru looked at her with an ambiguous expression, but before she could say anything, Wang Ma snatched the words away.
"Miss Jiajia, this is a nutrient solution. Dr. Zhao said you don't have enough energy and you fainted from sitting too much."
"If you ask me, your health is really bad. How could you faint from sitting? I'll take you to exercise properly from now on, and I guarantee you'll be in great shape."
"..."
There was a hint of awkwardness in the air.
Ye Jiajia was speechless. She was perfectly healthy. It was all Fu Xiaochen's fault, that beast! He would have fainted on his own!
Zhang Xinru glared at Wang Ma with annoyance.
She's so blunt; she must be quite open-minded about these things. Tsk tsk tsk, I never would have guessed!
Jiajia blushed deeply and didn't say a word.
It was rather strange that Wang Ma didn't receive a response.
"Miss Jiajia, are you feeling unwell? Should I call Dr. Zhao upstairs to examine you again?"
Zhang Xinru looked at her with amusement. What's wrong with Wang Ma today? Why is she so oblivious to social cues?
Jiajia frowned, demanding that Dr. Zhao repeat himself: she wasn't physically fit enough and had fainted. Did she have no shame?!
"No need, Aunt Wang, I'm fine."
"Oh!"
"Miss Jiajia, are you hungry? Shall I ask the kitchen to make something to eat?"
"No need for that, I don't want to eat it."
"At least eat something, it's already noon."
"I don't want to eat anything."
"Then we'll talk when you're hungry."
Wang Ma thought she wasn't hungry at the moment, so she didn't try to persuade her further.
Zhang Xinru sighed, "Jiajia is clearly trying to starve herself! Can't Wang Ma see that?"
Never mind, she'll ask for food when she's hungry!
The two ate as if no one else was around, and Jiajia rubbed her empty stomach.
The other person insisted on eating in front of her; wasn't that obviously trying to entice her?
"Wang Ma, you can all leave now. I want to be alone."
"Oh fine!"
Zhang Xinru and the others turned and walked out, only to see Fu Xiaochen's figure.
He quickly hid the snacks he was holding.
"Young Master, Miss Jiajia has woken up."
Fu Xiaochen stopped in his tracks: "Hmm, has she had lunch?"
Aunt Wang shook her head: "No, Miss Jiajia said she's not hungry and doesn't want to eat anything."
"Is she on a hunger strike?" Fu Xiaochen strode into the room.
"What's that smell in this room? Woman, what did you eat?"
Didn't you say you wouldn't eat it? You're such a hypocrite.
Ye Jiajia didn't want to talk to him and didn't say a word.
"You damned woman, I asked you what you ate, you've made a complete mess of the room!"
The sound of arguing could be heard coming from inside.
Zhang Xinru looked at Wang Ma with a complicated expression, "It must taste like the spicy snack you ate."
Wang Ma retorted stubbornly, "Why don't you just say it tastes like the red date cake you ate?"
"You ate it!"
"Nonsense, you clearly ate it."
Zhang Xinru took a deep breath; no matter how strong the flavor of the jujube cake she ate was, it couldn't surpass the flavor of the spicy strips.
"You didn't even suggest opening the window to let in some fresh air."
Aunt Wang coughed awkwardly, "I just forgot!"
inside.
Ye Jiajia: "Fu Xiaochen, what exactly do you want?"
Fu Xiaochen scoffed, "Weren't you on a hunger strike? Why does the room smell so weird?"
Ye Jiajia couldn't explain it to him clearly: "I've already said I didn't eat it, it wasn't me who ate it."
Fu Xiaochen knew this woman was always stubborn. "Still trying to deny it? Is it so hard to admit you eat?"
Left with no other option, Ye Jiajia told the truth, "It was Zhang Ma and the others who ate it. I didn't eat a single bite. If you don't believe me, go ask them."
Zhang Xinru was dumbfounded when she heard this. Why didn't they mention what Wang Ma ate?
It's Zhang Ma again?
Fu Xiaochen turned to look at the door and said, "Zhang Ma, get in here right now."
Wang Ma looked at her embarrassedly.
Zhang Xinru angrily pointed at Wang Ma, then quickly changed her expression and went inside, "Young Master..."
"Who told you to eat in the bedroom!" Fu Xiaochen said with a sour face.
Zhang Xinru awkwardly snapped her fingers, mentally cursing Wang Ma's ancestors for eighteen generations.
"I... Dr. Zhao told me to take good care of my body and eat something to replenish my blood whenever I have the chance. I'm just afraid I'll faint while I'm working!"
Fu Xiaochen remained silent, staring coldly at her cleverly arguing mouth.
"You're not allowed to eat in my room anymore!" I'm never taking her out again.
Zhang Xinru nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, young master, it will never happen again."
Fu Xiaochen instructed, "Go and bring up lunch."
"Okay, Master."
After they came back up, Fu Xiaochen and Ye Jiajia made up as before.
While they were setting out the food, Fu Xiaochen said, "Zhang Ma, go print out some lover contracts. I want this woman to know what she should and shouldn't do!"
Zhang Xinru: "Yes, young master!" What a waste of his time!
Resigned, he pulled Wang Ma back to the bedroom and turned on the computer to search online.
"What is a lover's contract?" This was the first time Wang Ma had heard this term.
"Who cares! I'll just copy and paste something from the internet."
five minutes later.
Wang Ma was surprised, "That's it?"
Zhang Xinru said nonchalantly, "What else can we do? It's too early to go up now. Let's wait until they finish lunch before we go up."
Wang Ma nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xinru took the opportunity to play some games during this time.
"Strange, why isn't he online?"
Wang Ma couldn't understand what she was playing either, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean, 'not online'?"
Zhang Xinru explained, "It's a friend I met in the game who's incredibly good at jungling."
Wang Ma muttered to herself, "Hunting? Hunting! Now we can't just buy what we want to eat, why do we need to hunt?"
