Chapter 705

Today wasn't a formal occasion; it was just that Madam Cheng had invited her friends over to enjoy the flowers and chat, so the men and women weren't separated. Shen Rang and Huo Zhao were naturally arranged to be together.

"At this time of year, the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. My cook has made a special osmanthus honey. Please try it. If you like it, you can take some home later!"

Before even tasting it, everyone smelled the sweet yet not cloying fragrance of the osmanthus honey and couldn't help but praise it.

"It's really strange. We've made osmanthus honey at home before, but it either doesn't have the fragrance of osmanthus or it's cloyingly sweet. But your osmanthus honey smells so good! How did you make it?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Madam Cheng couldn't help but laugh: "I already said it's a secret recipe, how could I possibly let you know it? If you like it, come visit me more often, I have as much as you want!"

The person who spoke first laughed and said, "Look at your thoughts! I couldn't possibly come to your house empty-handed. So you're eyeing the gift I brought you, aren't you?"

The woman who said this was very close to Madam Cheng. Everyone laughed in agreement and then picked up the osmanthus honey to examine it carefully.

These osmanthus honeys were brought up one by one by the maids.

Huo Zhao took the small jar of crystal-clear osmanthus honey, which contained many floating osmanthus flowers, and examined it carefully without rushing to eat it.

Something that can be praised by ladies who are used to seeing fine things must be extremely good; it must not only smell wonderful but also look beautiful.

I looked down and saw a cup of water infused with osmanthus honey already placed in front of me.

The osmanthus blossoms swirled in the clear tea water, a truly beautiful sight.

Following the hand with its distinct knuckles, Huo Zhao looked at Shen Rang.

Shen Rang pushed his small jar of osmanthus honey in front of her and said in a low voice, "I've tried it, and it tastes very good."

Huo Zhao's eyes crinkled with laughter.

She took the osmanthus honey water from Shen Rang and drank it while chatting, but when she turned her head, she found that the osmanthus honey she hadn't touched was gone.

Huo Zhao looked around but couldn't find his osmanthus honey, so he frowned.

Shen Rang's mind was focused on Huo Zhao, and he didn't notice who took it. He said, "I'll ask Madam Cheng for more later."

Huo Zhao nodded.

For now, this is the only option.

Just as Huo Zhao was about to look away, he saw Qu Dun again.

Qu Dun raised an eyebrow at her and then waved the osmanthus honey in his hand.

Huo Zhao narrowed his eyes.

That kid is really annoying.

Disliked from all sides.

Qu Dun had been swaggering around, but for some reason, his expression froze, and he obediently turned back.

Huo Zhao subconsciously looked at Shen Rang, only to see that Shen Rang had just turned his gaze away.

"Is that child causing trouble for you again?" Shen Rang said in a low voice.

“That’s right,” Huo Zhao said helplessly. “Fortunately, Nianchu isn’t like that.”

Shen Rang smiled and said, "Our child will never turn out like this."

If it really turns out like that, then don't blame Shen Rang for being too harsh.

He was never a loving father.

Otherwise, Shen Nianchu wouldn't have been so well-behaved when she was in the Marquis's mansion; she only dared to run wild after going to the Prince of Yunnan's mansion.

This clearly shows that Shen Rang was indeed a strict father.

Huo Zhao couldn't help but laugh: "No wonder, Nianchu looks very different now than when she first came from the Marquis's mansion."

When Shen Nianchu first arrived at the Yunnan Prince's Mansion, he was very sensible and well-behaved. Now, Huo Zhao can see his own childhood self reflected in him.

Just as Shen Rang was about to speak, a scream suddenly rang out.

"Why is this child vomiting blood! Help! Someone, come quick!"
