Yun Qiao asked him again: "What has Uncle Qi been doing these days?"
Xi Lanting answered reluctantly: "A little business matter."
Yun Qiao clearly felt that he didn't want to answer her endless questions, so she kept her mouth shut.
Xi Rong brought in a candy plate, filled with colorful wrapping paper and a fruit plate.
"Try one. The newly made candies in the factory use new technology, so they are soft." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao reached out and pinched it.
It's really soft.
She immediately found an orange one and thought it must have an orange flavor.
The candy was indeed a bit elastic. When Yun Qiao put it in her mouth, she felt it was not easy to wrap it up, so she had to chew it.
It was indeed soft, but not sweet enough, and it was very difficult to chew, and the mess stuck to the roof of her mouth. She couldn't use her tongue hard enough, and wanted to dig it out with her hands, but felt embarrassed.
Xi Lanting also asked her: "How?"
Yun Qiao said vaguely: "It's not delicious."
Xi Lanting: “Are your teeth sticky?”
Yun Qiao couldn't bear it anymore. She covered her mouth with one hand and started picking at it with the other hand.
After digging out the candy on the roof of my mouth, I realized that it was also in the gaps between my teeth.
She cried with tears in her eyes: "What the hell is this? Can't you just make some sweets?"
Xi Lanting saw her miserable state and laughed heartlessly.
Yun Qiao: "..."
She suddenly suspected that Uncle Qi was deliberately teasing her.
However, it was not intentional, this is indeed a new product made by a new candy factory invested by Xi Lanting.
Because it's fresh, many stores have stocked it, and I heard the sales are pretty good.
Xi Lanting poured her a cup of tea: "Rinse your mouth."
Yun Qiao went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth and did not take the tea from him. When she came back, she would never touch the candy again.
Without the sticky candy on the tip of her mouth and tongue, Yun Qiao felt much better. She started chatting with Xi Lanting all the time, and Xi Lanting even brought out the chess set.
After playing chess for a while, I felt bored, so I switched to chess again.
Yun Qiao told him about the Li family incident.
She briefly told the story, and Xi Lanting said: "For now, don't talk about the Li family anymore. Everyone in this matter, including you, is so stupid."
Yun Qiao: "..."
Master Qi didn't like stupid people, and Yun Qiao was also ostracized.
Yun Qiao had no choice but to change the topic.
She was thinking about the chess game and heard Xi Lanting ask her: "When will Cheng Li arrive?"
Yun Qiao said casually: "Twenty-five days."
Xi Lanting: "It's pretty soon."
She lost her son and suddenly became curious: "Uncle Qi really wants Brother Cheng to come? What's going on? You care about him so much, shouldn't you..."
Xi Lanting held a round and flat chess piece in his hand and knocked Yun Qiao on the head: "Clean the straw out of your head."
Yun Qiao covered her head: "You've asked me several times, so it's hard for me not to be overly concerned."
What if Brother Cheng is her love rival?
Yun Qiao thought about it and felt that she couldn't fight against Cheng Li, so she immediately cheered up.
Xi Lanting dropped a son hard.
If he hadn't restrained himself repeatedly, this blow would probably have hit Yun Qiao's head.
Because Yun Qiao was disgusted with him, Xi Lanting never mentioned Cheng Li again.
Back in the fourth room, Yun Qiao took out the candies given by Xi Lanting, divided them into several portions, called Chang Ning, and gave them to Xi Wenluo and others quietly.
She also gave it to the servants to taste.
Except Xi Wenlan.
Yun Qiao sometimes feels that her personality is quite annoying and she doesn't want to be stepped down by others. But if she gives it to Xi Wenlan in a pretentious manner, she will be angry to death.
