Once he heard that he needed to report to the office, Jiang Yan, who originally looked like a fresh cabbage, suddenly wilted. He really didn"t have the intention of flirting. It was because he had just come back from overseas where it was normal for him to say such things to those open-minded ladies at school. He also constantly had a smiling face, always wearing a smile; in fact, sometimes he wasn"t even paying attention to his expressions.

If it was at a normal time, Jiang Yan would definitely have gossiped that second uncle was behaving strangely. However, now, thinking that he had to go to the office and seeing his second uncle whenever he looked up, he could only sigh. How would he have any other thought. 

This continued until meal time, when Jiang Yan sat at the furthest seat from Lu He Nian. He persistently lowered his head to eat and didn"t dare to speak too much, so as not to attract second uncle"s attention and focus on him. 

"Yun Rong, eat a bit more. I don"t know what you like to eat and only asked the housekeeper aunt to do a few dishes." Compared to Jiang Yan, who immersed himself in his meal, Jiang Shu Hua was extremely enthusiastic and continuously gave food to Yun Rong. 

No need to mention that the Lu family"s housekeeper"s crafts were definitely much better than ordinary restaurants. Yun Rong happily ate the dishes, and hearing Jiang Shu Hua"s words, she smilingly replied: "Everything is very delicious. Thank you aunt1."

Yun Rong took the shape of a young lady whose age was not so big, and her appearance as she was eating made people feel pleased. Jiang Shu Hua"s original five parts of like towards Yun Rong turned to eight parts within a short while. She only felt that the more she saw the young lady in front of her eyes, the more lovable she became.

As she was at a more mature age, she loved seeing people eating well, especially this young lady who was not picky about food.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Shu Hua thoroughly liked this young lady. In addition, the usually quiet and expressionless Lu Nan Xian also exposed a rare and kind smile towards Yun Rong. Afterwards, the housekeeper served sweet dessert soup. Everyone sat in the living room  enjoying the dessert while chatting.

Jiang Yan received a call from home so he left first. 

"Yun Rong, the herb gra.s.s you gave me was really miraculous. I have only eaten it once and in the morning, and my skin has already become very good, just like a young girl. Even all the marks were all gone." While drinking the sweet dessert soup, Lu Hua Nian said excitedly. When having meals, the Lu family attached importance to rules, not talking on the dining table and concentrating on eating. That was why they only got to talk now. 

She then continued to ask: "How long can this result be maintained ah?" From the beginning, this was the question she wanted to ask. All maintenance had a due date. Once past the due date, then the skin would restore its previous state.  

While chewing the lotus seed in her mouth, Yun Rong replied unclearly: "It doesn"t maintain for long."

When Lu Hua Nian heard, she didn"t feel anything was wrong. After all, the best injections also could only preserve its effect for four months. She nodded and with embarra.s.sment asked: "Then do you still have more herb gra.s.s? Can you sell them to jiejie? I know this stuff must be hard to plant, jie won"t let you suffer any losses. You open a price, no matter how much, it"s okay."

She still wanted more? Actually, she had no shortage of herb gra.s.s, they were everywhere on Dan Qiu Mountain. Even if you ate more, it was okay as it wasn"t toxic. However, just eating once could at least maintain the appearance for ten years. The human life was only a few tens of years, eating once should be enough. If at the age of 40 or 50 years old one still maintained the appearance of a 18-year-old girl, then wouldn"t it look strange?   

Yun Rong looked earnestly at Lu Hua Nian and advised: "Hua Nian jie, although eating one herb gra.s.s can only maintain the youthfulness of the skin for ten years, but ten years later, I can guarantee that your aging will be slower than ordinary people. People getting old is a normal occurrence, one cannot blindly pursue……. "

"What did you say? Ten years!" Before Yun Rong finished talking, Lu Hua Nian had shouted out, feeling hard to believe. "Just now you mentioned that the effect is not so long." Did they misunderstand her concept of time?

"It"s not very long ah……." Yun Rong spoke without thinking, yet before she finished her words, she regretted it. For her, ten years went in a blink of an eye, but for humans, it was a considerably long period of time ah.

Yun Rong"s complexion changed, blame it on the sweet dessert soup, it was too tasty! She drank it until she became foolish!

Ten years were not very long? Ten years were simply very long, which skincare products could maintain the appearance for ten years? Then, how was it any different with those magic potions in fairy tales?

Lu Hua Nian looked strangely at Yun Rong, and finally she let out a "puchi" sound and said: "You, this young lady, speak so mysteriously. Are all the people from Xuanmen like this? Ten years are still not very long? How many years have you lived?"

Yun Rong did not reply a word, however, in her mind she thought, I"ve lived for many many tens of years, so many it can"t be counted!

Lu He Nian was quietly sitting at the side. At this time, seeing that the young lady didn"t say a word, he thought she was embarra.s.sed and opened his mouth to say: "It"s not early anymore. I"ll send you home first, ok?!"

Yun Rong stood up at once when she heard him and immediately followed him to go out. She lifted her head and caught sight of Lu He Nian looking at her sideways with smiles on his eyes, then she suddenly realized that the boss must have seen her feeling uncomfortable, therefore mentioned sending her home. 

She immediately showed a huge smile on her face. The boss is really a very perceptive and very good person. 

Lu He Nian"s heart turned soft and wanted to rub the young lady"s head. However, he held himself back after noticing the people at the side.

Both Jiang Shu Hua and Lu Hua Nian hated to part with Yun Rong, but they didn"t urge her to stay too much. After all, it wasn"t very safe for the young lady to stay out too late and by now, the sky had already turned dark.

Though it was different with Gu Yuan Yuan, this child. Since leaving the hospital, she had particularly wanted to meet Yun Rong jiejie and she was finally able to meet her today. She was very happy, yet just staying for a moment and Yun Rong jiejie already had to go. How could she be willing! She swiftly slid down from the sofa and held Yun Rong"s thigh and said: "Yun Rong jiejie, I don"t want you to leave!"

lmao Yun Rong blaming her blunders on the dessert! And Lu He Nian, don"t hold yourself vack too much! We want to see you acting lovey-dovey with YR hehe
