Chapter 1172: Ignorance
When Nie Yao returned to the villa, the old housekeeper came forward and said with a smile, "Madam, you are back. It's quite hot outside today. I asked the kitchen to make mung bean soup to cool down and also cut some watermelon..."
When he said this, he realized that there was a strange young man with Nie Yao, and asked hesitantly, "Who is this..."
Without waiting for Nie Yao to answer, Lu Heng hurriedly introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, you are the housekeeper of this villa, right? I am Lu Heng, and I also live nearby. I wanted to ask for some water!"
"This..." The old housekeeper was a little confused. Nie Yao smiled and explained, "He is my friend. Just treat him as a guest. Bring him the mung bean soup and watermelon!"
The old housekeeper finally understood and nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, it turns out to be Madam's friend. Please come in!"
He brought slippers for Nie Yao and Lu Heng. They changed into slippers and sat down in the living room. The old housekeeper also brought up mung bean soup with lilies and chilled watermelon.
Lu Heng took a sip of the mung bean soup, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and gave a thumbs up, praising it: "This mung bean soup tastes very good, and has a light fragrance..."
As he spoke, he drank half a bowl.
Seeing him praising her non-stop, Nie Yao jokingly said, "You're a big star, you've seen all sorts of delicious food and drinks. There's no need to praise a mere bowl of mung bean soup like that!"
"I don't know why, but the mung bean soup and watermelon I had at your place today tasted much better than what I usually eat!"
Lu Heng shrugged and sighed softly, "Maybe it's because of my different state of mind..."
"I think you are hot and thirsty because of the walk you just took!" Nie Yao said with a smile.
"Maybe..." Lu Heng smiled noncommittally, looked up at the decoration style of the villa, and couldn't help but sighed: "I never thought that you and Mr. Li would like such a magnificent decoration style!"
"What style do you think we like?" Nie Yao raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Based on my impression of Master Li Jiu, he probably likes a solemn and simple style, with black, white and gray as the main colors. Your words will probably add a touch of pastoral warmth to this place..."
At this point, Lu Heng lifted his chin, shook his head, and smiled, "But I never expected that you guys like this kind of... magnificent... nouveau riche style?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that..."
But with so many magnificent decorations and golden sculptures everywhere, it really made him feel a bit... nouveau riche!
Nie Yao didn't mind Lu Heng's words. She shook her head and smiled faintly, saying, "It's nothing. The decoration is indeed glittering with gold. Since he also likes ancient Egyptian culture, the decoration is similar to that style. Although it is indeed a bit exaggerated, I got used to it after seeing it for a while..."
When Lu Heng heard her say this, he suddenly realized what was going on. He patted the back of his head and laughed, "So it's the ancient Egyptian style. No wonder I said it looked familiar. Sorry, I'm just ignorant!"
A look of shame appeared on his face, and he even felt that he had made a fool of himself in front of Nie Yao.
With Li Jinxing's financial resources, there was no need for him to deliberately show off his wealth in the decoration. By saying this, he only seemed ignorant...
"It's nothing. In fact, I also think that some of the decorations are indeed luxurious!" Nie Yao raised the corners of her lips slightly and replied with a smile.
Seeing that Nie Yao didn't care at all, Lu Heng felt even more ashamed. He was too embarrassed to stay here any longer, so he simply stood up and said goodbye.
