Chapter 9

Certainly, here is the translation:

Of course, there was no doubt about her beauty. As someone who had seen countless women, Hao Xue knew that even if he compared her to the so-called "campus beauties" of Huaxia Medical University, He Wanjun would be on par with them. He estimated that after this little girl entered school, the list of campus beauties at Huaxia Medical University would change once again.

Her face, fair with a hint of rosy, carried a simple and fresh earthy charm, making her appear pure and adorable. As for her figure, it was even more mouth-watering. Hao Xue felt that his growling stomach just now might not have been solely due to hunger.

Of course, as a modern young man with principles, Hao Xue understood the rule of not looking at what should not be seen. He mainly focused his gaze on He Wanjun's face, without leering at her inappropriately.

Hmm... bust size 34B, hip size around 90, these were, of course, just irresponsible guesses.

In terms of household chores, being able to cook was already a significant advantage. For many rough men, whether the house was tidy or not didn't matter much, but the stomach couldn't be neglected!

As the saying goes, to capture a man's heart, first capture his stomach.

As for the quality of her cooking, watching her graceful back as she started to busy herself, Hao Xue was eager to see the results.

Finally, regarding the matter of her being a virgin... Hao Xue thought that if there was an opportunity, he could certainly verify it. After all, as a热心青年 (enthusiastic young man), he didn't mind such a minor effort... uh, such a minor effort.

In Hao Xue's small house, which was less than 70 square meters, various ingredients were available. He usually didn't like eating out and preferred to cook at home. While his dishes weren't particularly appetizing, they were sufficient to fill his stomach.

However, half an hour later, when He Wanjun's four dishes and one soup were served, Hao Xue felt that everything he had eaten before was pig food!

Fried prawns, celery and lily bulbs, cumin lamb, sweet and sour cod, and bitter melon and century egg soup.

The combination of meat and vegetables was perfect, and the taste was beyond reproach. Hao Xue was both surprised and delighted, and his appetite was greatly stimulated. He devoured most of the food, and in the end, he wiped his mouth with a satisfied burp, still feeling unsatisfied as he looked at the empty plates and bowls.

What a virtuous woman! If a man married such a woman... he would surely become fat!

What was most remarkable was that she had used only the ingredients in his refrigerator, which she had carefully arranged and skillfully cooked, to create such an excellent dinner. This indicated that the little girl's culinary skills were even higher than he had imagined. If she were allowed to choose her own ingredients, the food would probably be even more amazing...

When He Wanjun was cooking, she exuded a goddess-like aura, but when eating, she lost all her ladylike demeanor. Using both hands, she couldn't even outpace the ravenous Hao Xue. In no time, only the bottom of the plates remained, and the little girl was so angry that she kept muttering, "Pig, Brother Hao Xue, you are really a pig!"

"More than ten years haven't seen each other, where's the gift?"

Feeling that she couldn't let Hao Xue off so easily, having not even gotten a roast duck and having to work as a free cook, He Wanjun stretched out her hand and demanded something without any hesitation.

Uh... this...

Hao Xue wasn't a stingy person, but there was nothing in his house that could serve as a gift. He couldn't possibly give her an electric rice cooker and say it was specially prepared for her...

Ah... if that didn't work, he would have to give her one of the four remaining bottles of royal jelly. Not much, not much, is it much? Not much!

He Wanjun's beautiful big eyes opened wide in disbelief as she watched Brother Hao Xue, who looked pained, take out a crudely made white porcelain bottle and solemnly hand it to her.

But before she could complain, she heard Hao Xue earnestly instruct her:

"This, when you finish drinking it, return the bottle to me."

Don't joke, it's a porcelain bottle from the late Southern Song Dynasty! An antique, it could easily sell for a hundred thousand or more, worth half his house!

He Wanjun was completely defeated, looking at the broken bottle in her hand with tears in her eyes, unable to cry.

After a satisfying meal, Hao Xue patted his belly contentedly and said with a smile, "Snot... uh, Wanjun, it's getting late. Shall I take you to find a hotel to stay in? There's still more than a month before school starts, and we need to find something economical. I'm quite familiar with this area in the capital, so I can ensure you won't be cheated!"

"Hotel? Brother Hao Xue, are you taking me to a hotel room? No way, I absolutely won't go!"

Pfft!

Hao Xue almost spat out the delicious food he had just eaten. What kind of understanding is this! I'm letting you stay at a hotel, not a hotel room. We're already in a room, why would we go out to get one!

"Mom said I should stay with you for now. Hotels are a waste of money, there's no need, right?"

Hmm?

Hao Xue's eyes instantly brightened, and they were slightly moist.

Auntie!

What a good person...

I now admit that stealing your chickens when I was young was wrong. When I become successful, I will definitely set up a chicken farm to make amends!

A girl not yet 20, and already so charming, sent to live with him.

Tsk tsk, the changes back home... are this big?!

Hao Xue felt a certain part of his body quickly react, and of course, he couldn't be blamed for that.

As the ancients said, when one is well-fed and warm, one thinks of... something. Now, Hao Xue was unprecedentedly well-fed and warm, naturally causing a certain part to react.

His one-bedroom apartment, though slightly modest, was perfect for a couple. The large bed in the room was also spacious enough, truly a stroke of foresight, hahaha!

An hour later, Hao Xue, lying on the sofa drawing circles and cursing, had tears welling up in his eyes.

Domination!

Women's rebellion!

Nest usurpation!

I like sleeping on the sofa, it's comfortable! Just the kick to my butt was a bit painful, but lying down to sleep isn't bad either...

Hao Xue was very tired from the interview and the phone contact list incident, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, Wanjun would never make him sleep on the sofa. The scenarios in Hao Xue's fantasies would naturally come true one by one. Just as he was about to make a move, the sudden ringing of the phone pulled him back to the harsh reality—still sleeping alone on the sofa, face down.

Who is this? Could it be that Yang Guo has learned to call back?

Hao Xue, still half-asleep, picked up his phone and saw an unfamiliar number, a standard 139 mobile number, which seemed to be nothing special.

"Who is it?"

Hao Xue's dream was interrupted, and he was in a low mood, his voice still drowsy.

"Where are you?"

A somewhat urgent female voice came through the phone, familiar but not immediately recognizable.

"You..."

"I'm Xiong Huijuan! No matter where you are, come to the company quickly, take a taxi! The company will reimburse you!"

Ah?

Hao Xue was even more unhappy. What time was it? He was just about to do something naughty in his dream, almost taking off his pants, and she wanted him to go back to the company?

"I..."

But Xiong Huijuan, in a hurry, hung up after leaving this message. From start to finish, Hao Xue only managed to say two words: you, me.

Damn!

Hao Xue knew, even with his toes, that it was about the Snow Skin Lotion launch, which had caused an instant market explosion. This was about the follow-up supply.

This shouldn't be a big issue, but the key still lay with Xiaolongnü.

If it were to become an industry, relying on the stock in the ancient tomb would clearly not meet the massive demand of our great China.

The best solution would be to bring some of the jade bees Xiaolongnü raised and set up a place to raise them here. While the effect might not be as good as the original, it should still be sufficient.

Yang Guo had talked to her several times, so this time, he would directly contact Xiaolongnü.

Hao Xue chuckled and opened his contact list, looking at the words in the number field and feeling speechless: Xiaolongnü, Ancient Tomb, and Yang Guo being affectionate.

The ancients had high standards, spending the whole afternoon being affectionate without changing their state. If this were in modern times, it would have been: Xiaolongnü, Jade Bed, and Yang Guo being naughty...
