Xiao He drank most of the bottle in one gulp. She looked really thirsty. Seeing Ye Qin still holding the bottle with no intention of opening it, her eyes became a little anxious. "You've done so much work, aren't you thirsty? This water is high-quality mineral water that is only available in the East Courtyard. You can't drink it in the West Courtyard. I finally got two bottles here, and you don't even appreciate it."

Ye Qin glanced at the bottle of mineral water. It was indeed quite good, with an average price of around 40 yuan per bottle.

Seeing Ye Qin still hesitated, Xiao He realized that he had been a little impatient, so he calmed down and returned to his usual disdainful attitude. "If Aunt He hadn't called me secretly just now and asked me to take care of you and not to be unhappy with you, do you think I would give you the water? We can't go back until the guests in the East Courtyard leave. Although I look down on you, after all, you and I are both from the West Courtyard. We can quarrel in private, but we can't embarrass ourselves in the East Courtyard."

This explanation seems somewhat plausible.

A smile finally appeared on Ye Qin's face, and under Xiao He's gaze, she slowly unscrewed the bottle cap.

Xiao He's eyes seemed to be fixed on the bottle of mineral water, waiting for Ye Qin to drink it.

Seeing Ye Qin finally put the bottle to her lips and took a sip, Xiao He's eyes left the bottle of mineral water and grinned, "How is it? It tastes good, right?"

Ye Qin smiled without saying anything and nodded.

Xiao He's smile deepened. "It must be delicious. After all, it's so expensive. I guess after you drink it, you'll never forget its taste in your life."

"It's just a bottle of water, it has no taste, what's so memorable about it?" Ye Qin asked softly.

Xiao He smiled mysteriously and glanced outside.

Zhu Xiang walked into the kitchen with a bad look on his face and yelled at Xiao He, "Why are you still slacking off here? There are guests outside!"

"I understand. I'll go to Butler Zhu right away!" Xiao He put down the mineral water, lowered his head and ran out quickly.

Zhu Xiang turned to look at Ye Qin, with a forced smile, "Madam, I know you are of noble status, but it was the old lady of the Wu family who ordered you to take care of the guests, so you'd better get out of here quickly. Don't wait until the old lady gets upset, because then no one can help you."

"Hurry up and prepare more snacks and cold dishes. Don't let them run out!" Zhu Xiang shouted to the people in the kitchen, then looked at Ye Qin deeply and left the kitchen.

Ye Qin leaned against the sink, shaking the bottle of mineral water in her hand. Just then, a servant came over with two jugs of lemonade. Ye Qin put the mineral water on the tray and took the tray from the servant. "Give it to me."

The servant paused, then saw that it was Ye Qin, so he didn't refuse. He handed her the tray and lemonade with a sarcastic look, "Hold it. This pot is made of crystal, don't break it."

Ye Qin ignored the servant and walked out of the kitchen carrying the tray.

The servant spat at the dishwasher next to him and said with disdain, "How shameless! He treated a broken bottle of mineral water like a treasure and even took it away with him. How shameful!"

However, when Ye Qin walked into the living room, the bottle of mineral water was no longer on the tray.

Xiao He was busy at the dessert counter. When he saw Ye Qin coming out with a tray, his eyes darkened. He quickly reached out to take her tray and then asked, "Are you tired?"

"Not bad." As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qin staggered. Xiao He saw this and quickly supported her. "You must be tired. Let me help you to rest."
