Wu Sangui's little schemes were all clearly written on his face, and anyone could see them clearly.
Everyone stared at him in silence. After a long silence, Xia Wan broke it first.
She slightly raised her chin, looked directly at Wu Sangui, and said softly, "You should really feel lucky! Luckily, my father didn't touch that can of food, otherwise, you probably wouldn't have had such good fortune today!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui's throat bobbed a few times, and he let out a hoarse, dry voice: "Th...thank you..."
However, a hint of disbelief was clearly lurking within that expression of gratitude. It was as if he simply couldn't believe he had escaped so easily.
This made him feel even more guilty.
Xia Jianguo, who had been standing silently to the side, waved his hand expressionlessly and said in a flat tone, "It's getting late, you should go back now."
Wu Sangui's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, he ultimately failed to utter a single word. He slowly turned around and walked away with slightly heavy steps.
After everyone who was supposed to leave had left, Xia Wan went up and gently closed the door.
As the door closed, Xia Jianguo's previously expressionless face finally showed a slight change.
He turned his head, staring intently at Xia Wan, and asked with a tone of doubt and inquiry, "Xiao Wan, did you really not add anything to Wu Sangui's bowl?"
For some reason, he always felt that such tolerant and generous behavior was not really in line with his daughter's usual style of doing things.
However, he was aware of the rules of the system his daughter was bound to, and he was worried that his daughter might act impulsively and cause him to be punished.
Xia Wan smiled slightly, first pouring her father a glass of water and handing it to him, before replying coquettishly, "Oh dear, Old Xia really knows me best! That Wu Sangui almost killed you, how could I, as your daughter, let him off so easily?"
As she spoke, she proudly raised her pointed chin, her small face full of pride and confidence, looking every bit like a haughty little princess.
Those bright, lively eyes darted around, revealing a sly glint, like a clever and mischievous little fox, making one want to tease it.
Looking at his daughter's adorable expression, Xia Jianguo smiled helplessly, but his eyes were full of doting affection.
He continued to flatter his daughter, saying, "Of course! If my precious daughter were born in ancient times, she would definitely be an empress. She would never do such a thing out of a saintly heart! But tell me quickly, what exactly did you put in Wu Sangui's bowl?"
Upon hearing her father's question, Xia Wan's lips curled slightly, revealing a sly and mysterious smile.
She deliberately kept everyone in suspense, saying softly, "Hehe, I can't tell you that easily. But I can reveal a little bit: what I put in there is something really good, something specially formulated to be very nourishing for men."
After she finished speaking, she winked mischievously.
Although this medicine will not directly kill a person, if someone actually ingests it, it will inevitably cause a series of serious consequences, especially in this day and age, where moral issues can be considered a fatal wound.
However, this thorny problem is not entirely unsolvable; how to deal with it depends on the fate of Wu Sangui himself.
After all, there were still several days between administering the medicine and its effects taking hold. During this time, it would depend on whether Wu Sangui could control his desires and resist the effects of the drug. Thinking of this, Xia Wan couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
At this moment, Xia Jianguo suddenly froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
He turned around in astonishment, staring wide-eyed at his daughter, and asked incredulously, "Daughter, where...where did you get this medicine?"
Faced with her father's questioning, Xia Wan calmly raised her hand, pointed lightly to her head, and replied with a grin, "Dad, have you forgotten? I have a cheat system! What kind of strange and wonderful things don't I have in the mall? It's just that this medicine isn't cheap; I spent a lot of money to buy it!"
Xia Jianguo, his face full of worry, supported his forehead with his hand, secretly pondering how to talk to his daughter and ask her to be more dignified and composed, as a girl.
Because he knows his daughter too well, if he said those words directly, his daughter would probably fire off a barrage of rebuttals.
Thinking of this, Xia Jianguo felt a headache coming on, but he still forced himself to point towards the woodshed and asked with a slightly worried tone, "The drug you gave her shouldn't cause any trouble, right?"
After all, I just heard my daughter describe how painful the medicine was. If she really made a big fuss and attracted the attention of others, it would be troublesome!
Hearing her father's question, Xia Wan couldn't help but yawn widely. Her originally bright eyes were now clouded with weariness. She replied weakly, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems! I've already made thorough preparations!"
Then, Xia Wan lowered her voice slightly and said mysteriously, "Dad, I knocked A-Yue unconscious beforehand and gagged her with a cloth, so she definitely won't be able to make a sound."
After hearing these words, Xia Jianguo finally felt relieved and nodded with a sigh of relief: "That's good, as long as nothing goes wrong. Alright, it's getting late, you should go and rest."
Xia Wan thought for a moment and realized that there was nothing else to deal with, so she obediently replied, "Okay, I'll go to sleep now. I have to go to work at the food factory early tomorrow, so I might as well take this opportunity to see Guo Zheng."
After speaking, Xia Wan slowly stood up, gently stretching her body like a flower that had just bloomed and was looking a little lazy, and then slowly stretched out a big yawn.
With this movement, her slender waist and long arms drew a graceful arc in the air, as if announcing to the world her relaxation and comfort at this moment.
Then, Xia Wan turned slightly and walked towards the room with steps as light as a butterfly in flight. Each step she took seemed to carry a hint of weariness, yet there was an indescribable elegance to it all.
