Wen Nongnong sat quietly for a while, glanced at Gu Linchao who was focused on reviewing the case files, thought for a moment, and then tiptoed out.
She thought Gu Linchao was unaware, but little did she know, Gu Linchao saw her the moment she stood up.
He paused in his work, looked up, and saw her tiptoeing away.
A hint of a smile flickered in his deep black eyes, but he immediately frowned, a faint sense of disappointment in his heart.
Indeed, sitting there would be boring and tedious. How could someone as lively as her stand it?
He didn't dwell on it and quickly returned to his official duties.
Not long after, Wen Nongnong returned.
However, she now had a plate of fried chicken wings in her hand.
When she reached the door, she saw Wang Houde and Si Yi, and she generously invited them to eat together.
Wang Houde had already become familiar with her and knew that she was down-to-earth, so he didn't refuse politely and accepted a piece with a smile.
"Si Yi, you should eat too." Wen Nongnong placed the plate in front of him and let him take it himself.
However, Si Yi merely glanced at her before turning his face away coldly, saying, "I won't eat."
Wen Nongnong pouted, "Fine, I won't eat it then, I'll eat it myself."
The rich aroma of fried chicken suddenly filled the study. Gu Linchao was startled, looked up, and saw Wen Nongnong had returned.
"Your Highness." Wen Nongnong had originally intended to sneak in, but seeing that he had noticed her, she had no choice but to greet him. "Um, I was just going to get you some hot water." As she spoke, she raised the cup in her hand. Although she had gone to find something to eat, she hadn't forgotten to get him some hot water.
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao glanced at what she was holding, said nothing, lowered his head, and focused on his work again.
Wen Nongnong walked over, placed the hot water on his table, and said in a gentle tone, "Your Highness is still ill, you should drink more hot water."
She paused, then looked at the fried chicken wings in her hand and felt she should explain again, otherwise he might misunderstand and think she was eating alone. So she said, "These are deep-fried and very heaty, Your Highness shouldn't eat these right now." After saying that, she picked up the fried chicken wings, turned around, went back to her seat, and started eating them.
Gu Linchao: "..."
Didn't she think there was anything wrong with eating so much in front of a patient?
Wen Nongnong didn't find anything wrong with it.
If it were someone else, she probably wouldn't feel good about it, but it should be fine with Gu Linchao, right?
He's so aloof and indifferent, he probably doesn't have any appetite either. So, her eating heartily in front of him shouldn't affect him at all.
Thinking about it, she stopped paying attention to him and started eating the fried chicken wings without any pressure.
Today's fried chicken wings were exceptionally delicious.
She ate with relish, completely forgetting that she was in the study.
Without realizing it, she kicked off her shoes and curled up in a chair to eat chicken wings.
"Burp..." After a long while, Wen Nongnong put down the plate and let out a burp.
Gu Linchao heard this, his eyes twitched slightly, and he said patiently, "I will be returning to the West Garden soon, you should go back now."
Wen Nongnong was full and indeed a little sleepy, but thinking that once she left, this guy might have to deal with things until late at night, how could that be?
He's sick now, so we can't let him ruin his health. She's counting on him to live a long and healthy life and protect her and the Wen family for the rest of their lives.
She shook her head decisively. "Your Highness, I will wait for you to go together." After saying that, she couldn't help but yawn sleepily. "Your Highness, you don't need to pay attention to me. It's more important to deal with state affairs."
