Feng Guang wiped the sweat from her forehead and had just uttered the word "I" when she saw Han Chen sitting in the huanghuali wood armchair drinking tea. She pointed at him and asked, "Why are you sitting in this chair?!"
"Me?" Han Chen looked up at her and smiled slightly. "Why can't I sit?"
"Didn't you say!"
“Oh…this is indeed Grandpa’s most cherished collection. He was usually reluctant to touch it, but he never said that no one else was allowed to touch it.” Han Chen then turned his gaze to the old man. “Am I right, Grandpa?”
The old man nodded. "A grand master's chair is a chair, of course it's for sitting on. Otherwise, it would just be a decoration. Wait... Han Chen, you brat, are you trying to fool people again?"
“How could I dare to do that in front of Grandpa? Xia only cleaned up because she felt bad that Grandpa was so old and still helped fix things. Grandpa, you don’t know, the eldest daughter of the Xia family is famous for respecting the elderly and caring for the young.” Han Chen flattered her for a while before standing up. He handed a cup of tea to Feng Guang and said, “Are you tired? Have some tea and rest.”
Feng Guang had never been so angry. She realized that she was being completely led by the nose by this man. He had said everything, and she couldn't find any other reason to refute him. She looked at the tea in front of her and accepted it expressionlessly. In front of the old man, she really couldn't bring herself to curse him. After all, he had praised her, right?
She comforted herself with this thought, then downed the tea in one gulp. Immediately, her small face scrunched up, and she looked very pained.
Han Chen seemed to suddenly remember, "I forgot to mention, this is bitter tea."
"Bitter..." Her furrowed brows were so tight they could practically trap a fly. She loved sweets as much as she hated bitter foods, and hadn't touched anything bitter for years. She never expected to fall for his trick today, so she complained, "You tricked me again!"
Han Chen said innocently, "Kuding tea can clear heat and detoxify, and it is also beneficial for diseases such as high blood pressure and obesity. It is a good thing that Xia can drink some bittering tea occasionally."
"I don't have high blood pressure, and I'm not fat!"
"Many people don't understand their own health conditions..." Seeing her complexion worsening, Han Chen changed his tone as if to offer some help, "I didn't say that Xia has high blood pressure or obesity, I just said it's good to take preventative measures, especially in ten or twenty years..."
"Shut up!" She completely abandoned her ladylike reserve, throwing the rag in her hand at him. He quickly caught it without getting his white clothes dirty, and said loudly, "Even ten or twenty years from now, I'll still be this beautiful! Unlike you, who will be a bald, sleazy old man in less than ten years!"
She snorted coldly, grabbed her backpack, and ran out.
Han Chen held a rag in one hand, his face still showing the bewilderment of being yelled at.
The old man chuckled and said, "How was it? Had you had your fun?"
Han Chen touched the tip of his nose, feeling slightly uncomfortable. "The young lady of the Xia family has never done cleaning or similar work before. I guess she's just holding back her anger, which is why she's so agitated."
"You little rascal, you always like to fool people. This girl is a girl, don't you know how to be polite? Look, her lucky charm hasn't even been taken away yet."
Han Chen took the God of Wealth from his grandfather's hands and sighed helplessly. He should have known better than to anger her so quickly.
