Chapter 25: 024: Taken Away (Second Update) Chapter 25: 024: Taken Away (Second Update) Manager Chen looked at Wen Changling, “This is what Mr. Xie ordered for Miss Wen.”

“Who?”

Manager Chen didn’t reply to Madam Qi’s question and just nodded at Wen Changling before leaving.

Madam Qi was displeased and questioned Wen Changling, “Who is Mr. Xie?”

Wen Changling instinctively raised her head, looking around, “My neighbor.”

“What’s the relationship between you two? He even ordered teatime treats for you.”

Linsheng Courtyard was too big, Wen Changling didn’t see Xie Shang, she answered Madam Qi absentmindedly, “We’re just neighbors.”

Madam Qi wanted to explode but didn’t have an excuse to. She piled up all the teatime treats in front of her son, then continued with what she was saying, “After you marry my Junjun, you should quit your job; you don’t earn much anyway, and nursing requires night shifts, which won’t allow you to take care of Junjun. In our house, men work outside, and women stay inside. Junjun is a lawyer, he can’t do housework, and you’ll need to take care of the domestic affairs. Junjun has a weak stomach and needs to eat four meals a day. His clothes can’t be machine-washed; they must be hand-washed. At six in the morning, you have to iron his shirt, and at night—”

Madam Qi was getting to the important part when Manager Chen came over again.

“Evening Sweet Dew, Lou Nan Chun.”

This time it was two pots of tea.

Once again interrupted, Madam Qi immediately flared up, “Is this from that Mr. Xie again?”

Manager Chen smiled, steady, “That’s right, Mr. Xie said that Evening Sweet Dew pairs well with Seven Ingenious Lantern Cup Cakes, and Lou Nan Chun goes even better with Sugar-steamed Crispy Cheese. The right kind of tea should be matched with the right kind of treat, otherwise it’s like playing the lute to oxen, chewing peonies.” Manager Chen looked at Wen Changling like a loving father, “Miss Wen can try them.”

Before Miss Wen could speak, Madam Qi slammed the table and stood up, “Who did you call an ox?”

Chen looked innocent, “Did
