But at the Villa of Yearning, only Gu Ran could use it, and he used it surely with Su Qing. What's wrong with being with Su Qing?
Zhuang Jing wasn't such an old-fashioned person.
So, did she think Gu Ran would use it with someone other than Su Qing?
He Qingyan? It seemed Zhuang Jing wouldn't mind that either, so it could only be...
"Is the soup tasty?" Gu Ran asked Su Qing in a low voice.
His expression seemed to genuinely return to the matter of eating.
"Hmm," Su Qing nodded, "not bad."
Gu Ran ladled a small bowl of soup and began to sip it with a spoon.
Yan Han Xiang looked at Zhuang Jing, who took her bowl and smilingly offered her soup.
"That's a strong smell of vinegar," He Qingyan sniffed lightly.
"Vinegar?" Yan Hanxiang didn't smell it.
"Look," He Qingyan tilted her chin slightly towards Gu Ran.
Everyone looked over, Gu Ran was drinking soup while jealously eyeing the bowl of soup in Zhuang Jing's hands.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became cheerful again.
