Lu Wanwan didn't expect that even such a trivial matter would require Zhuang Jing's consent. But not long ago, Li Jingchen hung Zhuang Jing's precious little son in the air. How could she talk to Zhuang Jing?
"Can't you be accommodating, Butler Zhou?"
Housekeeper Zhou had a sarcastic look in his eyes, as if he was telling her what kind of green onion Lu Wanwan was: "If the young lady needs it urgently, she can go out and buy it now."
Going out to buy now? What if that naughty boy Li Xuyang comes to abuse Li Jingchen again?
Just when Lu Wanwan was in a dilemma——
"Sister-in-law?"
Lu Wanwan turned her head and saw Li Xiangchen walking towards them.
"Second Young Master." Butler Zhou quickly said hello after seeing him.
"Sister-in-law, the food has been served, and I was about to go treat you." Li Xiangchen said, glanced at Butler Zhou, and then asked Lu Wanwan: "Do you have anything to tell Butler Zhou?"
After Lu Wanwan hesitated for a moment, he said truthfully: "Well, I'm asking Butler Zhou for the medical kit."
Li Xiangchen said seriously: "Is it for my elder brother?"
Lu Wanwan was a little nervous when he asked her, but compared to other people in the Li family, Li Xiangchen was the only one who was willing to show kindness to her. Whether it was true or not, she nodded.
Seeing this, Li Xiangchen immediately ordered: "Steward Zhou, if my sister-in-law wants anything, just bring it to her room."
Butler Zhou lowered his head and stopped making excuses like before: "Yes."
Lu Wanwan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Second Young Master Li."
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Xiang Chen." Li Xiangchen took the beautiful girl in front of him into his eyes, and his tone became softer: "The servants at home are not sensible. If you need anything in the future, sister-in-law, just come to me."
That’s it.”
"Okay." Lu Wanwan responded weakly.
Afterwards, Li Xiangchen invited her to have dinner again, and Lu Wanwan followed him downstairs.
"The slingshot in my sister-in-law's hand belongs to Xuyang, right?"
"Well, he left his slingshot behind when he left. I was about to return it to him."
On the way downstairs, Lu Wanwan was distracted by Li Xiangchen's words. It happened that a servant was scrubbing the stairs. Lu Wanwan accidentally stepped on the wet water stains on the steps and immediately slipped.
"ah!"
She hurriedly grabbed the armrest next to her.
Unexpectedly, a big hand quickly wrapped around her waist and hugged her into his arms.
"Sister-in-law, be careful, the floor is slippery." As he spoke, the big hand had already been retracted.
Lu Wanwan looked back in astonishment, and met Li Xiangchen's concerned eyes. This made her unable to condemn his transgressive behavior just now, so she could only thank him unnaturally and speed up her steps down the stairs.
Li Xiangchen stood behind her and rubbed his fingertips, his naturally warm eyes darkening little by little.

Downstairs, restaurant.
Seeing her appear, Li Xuyang immediately stood up and said angrily to Zhuang Jing: "Mom, look at what she has in her hand. She was the one who took my slingshot away and caused me to be thrown to the ground by that smelly blind man!"
Seeing Zhuang Jing looking towards him, Lu Wanwan immediately said: "Mom, I can explain this matter."
Li Xiangchen, who was next to him, said: "Explain what? It's just that Xu Yang was naughty and used a slingshot to tease my elder brother and he was caught. Didn't my sister-in-law already send you the slingshot?"
With Li Xiangchen's explanation, Lu Wanwan was not in a hurry to speak. After all, her own son's words were much more useful than her, a foreign daughter-in-law.
