"Tie Shan, go have the kitchen make some pastries and, by the way, get someone to stew the tonic," Li Patriarch said generously, wishing he could present all the delicacies to Ye Jiuliang.
Hearing the words "tonic," Ye Jiuliang hurriedly interrupted, "Dad, there's no need for the tonic. I just had a full meal and can't eat anymore; let's not trouble the staff."
Although she loved to eat, she really had developed an aversion to tonics.
"Then just have them make some pastries and bring out a plate of fruit," Li Patriarch said, not insisting, with a hearty laugh.
Tie Shan agreed with a smile and walked towards the kitchen.
"How long are you planning to stay this time?" Li Patriarch cut straight to the point, not bothering with other matters.
Peeling an orange, Ye Jiuliang said nonchalantly, "I don't know."
How long she would stay was uncertain.
After she spoke, the orange in her hand was taken away, and Li Mochan skillfully began peeling it.
