Chapter 275 Ginseng Tea

It was certainly a happy thing for An Shijue to be able to please Cheng Anyue.

But gradually, he felt uncomfortable.

The little girl sat there holding her beloved book, not even moving her body, let alone paying attention to him as her brother.

He felt that he was ignored, but he couldn't say it directly.

He walked to the bookshelf with some frustration, took a book, and sat down next to her.

Unfortunately, she seemed to have no feeling.

He even wanted to make some noise to distract her attention.

Thinking about it, he felt that he was too naive, so he gave up the idea.

In the evening, the housekeeper came up and called them down to eat, and Cheng Anyue was willing to put down the book.

She rubbed her sore shoulders, looked at An Shijue and said, "I didn't expect it to be time for dinner. Time flies so fast."

An Shijue, "..."

He felt that time passed very slowly.

The two went downstairs together. In the restaurant, Mr. An, An Zhengyang's family, and An Chongyang's family had already arrived, except for the two of them.

After they sat down, the New Year's Eve dinner began.

Today's New Year's Eve dinner was very rich and colorful, and the chef had put a lot of effort into it.

Cheng Anyue especially liked to eat dumplings, and the shrimp inside was very delicious. She ate several in a row.

No one spoke at the table as usual. After the meal was over, they would stay up together to celebrate the New Year.

However, the old man was not in good health, so he went upstairs after sitting for a while.

The remaining An Zhengyang, An Chongyang and others chatted casually.

Cheng Anyue and An Shijue seemed a little out of place among them, so not long after, the two also went upstairs.

The New Year still had to be celebrated, so Cheng Anyue followed An Shijue to the study.

Back to the study, Cheng Anyue couldn't wait to read.

This made An Shijue, who wanted to talk to her, speechless. He said, "Don't put your eyes so close to the book, be careful not to hurt your eyes."

"Don't worry, brother, I won't." Cheng Anyue said without raising her head.

An Shijue, "..."

For the first time, he felt defeated by the book.

He even shot himself in the foot.

Time passed little by little, and finally it was past twelve o'clock.

Downstairs, An Zhengyang, An Chongyang and others were also preparing to go back to their rooms to rest.

In the kitchen, the housekeeper was preparing ginseng tea.

Yu Wan suddenly said that she was a little hungry and went to the kitchen to find food.

She took out a box of strawberries and a small box of cake from the refrigerator, and then washed the strawberries at the faucet.

"This, I'll wash it." said the housekeeper.

"No, you go and send the ginseng tea to Zhengyang and others. They are outside, so they don't have to send it upstairs later. I can't stand the smell." Yu Wan said.

"Yes!" The housekeeper took the tray, put two cups of ginseng tea on it, and took it out.

Yu Wan's eyes fell on the remaining two cups of ginseng tea. Undoubtedly, these were given to Cheng Anyue and An Shijue.

She looked at the door, took out a small paper bag from her arms and opened it. There were a few white pills.

She walked over and put two in each cup.

Then she quickly put the paper in her pocket and continued to wash the strawberries.

Not long after, the housekeeper came in and took out the remaining two cups of ginseng tea.

Yu Wan washed the strawberries, put them on a plate, and took them out.

An Zhengyang was the only one left in the living room. When he saw her come out, he looked at her deeply.

Yu Wan nodded at him, and then said, "Zhengyang, can you help me get it?"

"Yes!" An Zhengyang walked over, took the plate and cake from her hand, and went upstairs.
