After she had eaten a few mouthfuls, she began to chuckle, "Yeah, it's not bad. I didn't expect adding a bit of salt would improve the taste so much."
"So even the omnipotent Mr. Nan can't live without me."
Qin Yin said this with a gleeful smile as she continued eating.
What she meant was, no matter how well Mr. Nan seasoned his cooking, without salt it was inedible. Only after she added the salt did the food taste okay.
However, this sentence took on a different meaning in Nan Sichen's ears. His eyes deepened as he looked at Qin Yin and said, "I can't live without you, just like you can't live without me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yin suddenly coughed. Nan Sichen quickly handed her a cup and motioned for her to take a drink. In her haste, Qin Yin picked up the cup and gulped down a large mouthful of water.
Only after she calmed down did she realise that this was Nan Sichen's cup – the one he had been holding when she first came in.
This surprise made her cough again.
