The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 17

With bulging cheeks, he chewed slowly.

It looks like a greedy little squirrel.

Jiang Yuhuai put his hands in his pockets, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Yu Guiwan seemed to sense something and silently turned her head.

Their eyes met unexpectedly.

She paused in her chewing motion.

Is it pretty?

The fruit in my mouth hadn’t been swallowed yet.

His voice was somewhat muffled.

The man chuckled softly and hummed in agreement, “It looks quite nice.”

He walked over.

Yu Guiwan: “…”

She swallowed the fruit, stopped looking at him, and turned to look at the screen.

A new episode has begun.

Jiang Yuhuai didn’t bother her. He just asked Jiang Dong to bring a chair over and sit down next to her to watch this melodramatic TV series with her.

Seeing him sit down, Yu Guiwan glanced at him.

Then I focused on watching the TV series again.

She seemed to have never felt so relaxed and at ease.

She watched several episodes in a row and still felt like she hadn’t had enough.

Ready to watch the next episode.

The tablet was suddenly held down.

Yu Guiwan looked up at him.

She didn’t speak, her eyes filled with confusion.

Jiang Yuhuai took the tablet away and explained, “You’ve been looking at it for too long, your eyes will feel uncomfortable. Take a break first.”

Yu Guiwan: “…”

She glanced at the tablet he had taken away.

The man raised an eyebrow. “Don’t worry, I won’t steal it from you.”

Yu Guiwan remained silent.

A short while later, the butler brought over a plate of fresh fruit.

It’s covered in blueberries.

Blueberries are good for your eyes.

Yu Guiwan glanced at it and fell silent again.

Jiang Yuhuai placed the plate beside her and asked, “Do you like the flower room here?”

She paused for a moment, but couldn’t resist picking a blueberry and putting it in her mouth, making a soft “hmm” sound, “It smells pretty good.”

Jiang Yuhuai glanced at the valuable flowers and plants surrounding him.

“If you have any flowers you like, just tell the housekeeper and have them sent over.”

Yu Guiwan ate several blueberries in a row.

Hearing this, she paused, tilted her head, and asked, “Is something very expensive okay?”

Jiang Yuhuai sat lazily in the chair. “How expensive? Can’t I afford it?”

Thinking back to yesterday’s visit to the Jiang family’s old house, I asked her to use the black card to buy candy.

Yu Guiwan chose to keep quiet.

Jiang Yuhuai raised an eyebrow and smiled, then said seriously, “If you like it, no matter how expensive it is, it’s fine.”

Yu Guiwan stared expressionlessly at the ruthlessly wealthy capitalist.

“Then you must not regret it.”

She’d be doing his wallet a disservice if she didn’t fleece him thoroughly.

“certainly.”

Jiang Yuhuai laughed again.

He’s been laughing a lot these past couple of days.

Lian Jiangdong went from being shocked, bewildered, and incredulous at first, to gradually becoming numb and calm.

That’s why he emphasized it in the same way he did with Jiangxi.

He had a hunch that this young mistress might actually be able to change their young master.

…

It was past 11 p.m.

After taking a shower, Yu Guiwan planned to watch a few more episodes of a TV series before going to bed.

As a result, Jiang Yuhuai called her down.

Yu Guiwan sat at the dining table, staring blankly at the bowl of dark, unappetizing liquid.

“I won’t drink it.”

She hates bitter things the most.

There is no other.

The thought that Jiang Yuhuai had not only interrupted her plan to watch TV, but also made her drink this dark and murky stuff filled her eyes with resentment.

Jiang Yuhuai coaxed softly, “I’ve already had someone put licorice in it, so it won’t be bitter.”

How do you know it’s not bitter?

Yu Guiwan frowned on her delicate face and silently pushed the bowl away with her fingers.

“Look at yourself, how dark is it?”

Jiang Yuhuai looked at her expression and found it vivid and interesting.

He suppressed a laugh, “Is black always bitter?”

Yu Guiwan looked at him with an expression that said, “No way.”

Jiang Yuhuai didn’t say anything, picked up the spoon next to him, and scooped up a spoonful.

Yu Guiwan watched his actions, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

There’s no need to push yourself so hard.

The man drank it without changing his expression.

“Look, it’s really not bitter.”

He knew she didn’t like bitter things; she disliked anything bitter.

Therefore, this is the prescription that he had Lu Yichen revise several times. He tried it again and again to make sure it was no longer bitter before finalizing the prescription.

Lu Yichen eventually gave up all his temper after making so many changes.

“Third Brother, is it really necessary? It’s just a bowl of medicine. What Chinese medicine isn’t bitter? Just gulp it down and then stuff a candied fruit in your mouth, why make such a fuss?”

He just couldn’t understand why the Yu family, who didn’t even care about their daughter, would casually abandon her in a small county town to fend for herself and grow up at will.

But when it came to Jiang Yuhuai, it became a precious thing that couldn’t even endure the slightest hardship.

He even wondered if Yu Guiwan had saved the galaxy in her past life.

After Jiang Yuhuai finished tasting the medicine in the bowl, his voice was slightly hoarse, “But I just don’t want her to suffer anymore.”

It’s not because she dislikes bitterness.

Rather, he didn’t want her to suffer anymore.

I don’t want to think about it at all.

Lu Yichen stared blankly at Jiang Yuhuai in front of him, unsure of how to react.

In the end, he still managed to retrieve the prescription.

He had never seen Jiang Yuhuai like this before.

Not even once.

In Lu Yichen’s memory, Jiang Yuhuai had never been interested in anything; he was indifferent and gloomy.

It felt like I was in complete darkness.

But now, he suddenly saw this man seemingly desperately climbing upwards, tearing a crack open at any cost to allow himself to emerge from the darkness.

Yu Guiwan lowered her eyes, looking at the bowl of medicine that Jiang Yuhuai had pushed back in front of her, a complex expression flashing across her eyes.

Of course she knew it wasn’t bitter.

I just don’t want to drink it.

Some medications simply have no effect on her.

Jiang Yuhuai didn’t know.

But why would he personally try to get her to drink the medicine in order to coax her into drinking it?

Yu Guiwan stared at the bowl of still steaming medicine, unable to understand why.

They couldn’t understand Jiang Yuhuai’s purpose at all.

The man pushed over a small bowl and opened the lid.

A faint sweet scent lingered in the air.

It was filled with candied fruit coated in icing.

“If you drink your medicine obediently, you can have three candied fruits.”

Yu Guiwan glanced at him, then picked up the bowl and, without even using a spoon, gulped down the entire bowl of medicine.

Then put the bowl down.

She reached out and grabbed a few candied fruits, then put them in her mouth.

I took exactly three, no more, no less.

She gave a mumbled hum and slowly ate the candied fruit.

Mmm, it’s very sweet.

A doting smile flashed in the man’s eyes.

“Wanwan is great.”

Yu Guiwan: “…”

She is an adult now.

How do I treat her like a child and coax her?

Clang—

There was a sound like something falling nearby.

The two looked over in unison.

Yu Guiwan saw a face that was not unfamiliar, but not quite familiar either.

Her expression remained unchanged as she turned her head back.

Silently extending its claws.

I’m going to get a few more candied fruits.

Jiang Yuhuai didn’t look at the dining table, but his hand gripped the candied fruit jar with perfect precision.

“Eating too much at night is bad for your teeth.”

Yu Guiwan remained expressionless, “…”
