President, his whole family thinks I'm sick

How dare he reveal that Nie Tingshen bought those strawberries to prepare candied haws for Lin Manman. After all, he bought so many strawberries just to make candied haws for Lin Manman.

In order to prevent failure, Steward Liu bought almost all the remaining inventory. If Lin Manman saw what the kitchen looked like, he would be surprised, right?

Thinking of this, Butler Liu tried his best to avoid Lin Manman's contact with the kitchen. Seeing Lin Manman's happy appearance, the smile on his face never diminished.

Although the Nie family is very rich, Lin Manman rarely buys so many strawberries at once. After all, she also understands that strawberries are particularly perishable and not easy to store.

Picking up the biggest one, Lin Manman put it in Steward Liu's hand, and said with a smile, "Butler Liu, you can eat too, I can't eat so much by myself."

Seeing Lin Manman like this, Butler Liu felt warm in his heart, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't like strawberries, young lady, you can eat them yourself."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Nie Tingshen came over from not far away, put his chin on Lin Manman's shoulder, and said, "Aren't you going to feed me?"

Nie Ting's deep voice came from beside her ear, and she could feel the warm breath clearly. She immediately picked up a strawberry she had bitten by, and handed it to his lips.

"If you don't dislike me for taking a bite, then..."

Before Lin Manman could finish speaking, Nie Tingshen ate the strawberry in her hand in one bite, straightened up and walked to the table, picked up one of them, and took another bite.

He frowned instantly, lost his original good mood, glanced in Lin Manman's direction, handed the brand new strawberry to her lips, and said, "Take a bite."

"Ah?" Lin Manman glanced at him in surprise, but still did as he did.

"Is it delicious?" Nie Ting asked deeply.

Lin Manman nodded, with a cute face: "It's delicious."

Seeing that Nie Tingshen threw the leftovers of Lin Manman's food into his mouth, he said with satisfaction: "As expected, the food you have eaten tastes better."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Hearing this, Lin Manman almost choked to death on the unswallowed strawberries in her mouth. She blushed and glanced at Butler Liu who was not far away, but he was already used to this. In the scene, the eyes are still full of soft light.

Lin Manman was so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word, he immediately pushed Nie Tingshen aside, and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask Steward Liu to buy so many strawberries?"

Listening to Lin Manman's words, Nie Ting said without thinking, "Because I want to make candied haws for you."

"Ah?" Lin Manman blinked, deeply thinking if he heard it wrong...

I glanced at the three boxes of strawberries neatly placed on the table. There are so many, I'm afraid I can make a lot of candied haws.

Holding his forehead helplessly, Lin Manman's tone softened a lot, and he said helplessly, "But there's no need to buy so much, I feel like I can make a lot, can't I eat it?"

Nie Ting looked at Lin Manman's helplessness, but didn't speak again. He understood that such a thing could not be done just once, not to mention that he knew his cooking skills.

Pushing Lin Manman to let her go out, Nie Tingshen's words were flat: "Go out for a stroll first, and it will be ready when you come back."

Before Lin Manman could say anything, Nie Tingshen directly pushed her outside the door. Looking at the familiar things in front of him, Lin Manman's expression became sad.

Even if he could do it successfully, he would never be able to eat so much, so should he give some to Rourou and Yuting?

Lin Man walked aimlessly on the street, while lowering her eyes to think, but forgot to look at the road in front of her, a figure directly collided with her, and her inertia made her back again and again.

Clutching his painful forehead, Lin Manman hurriedly apologized in an apologetic voice: "I'm really sorry, I didn't watch the way..."

"Lin Manman."

Before Lin Manman finished speaking, a familiar voice came over, and Lin Manman froze in place for an instant. Even if that voice turned into ashes, Lin Manman would still remember it...

Looking up slightly, the original apology was gone, looking at Su Xiu in front of him, Lin Manman subconsciously took a step back: "Why are you here?"

"Passing by, I saw you." Su Xiu replied simply, but his eyes kept looking at Lin Manman's face in front of him, as if he had something on his mind and couldn't let it go.

The subconscious estrangement made Su Xiu feel very sad, but Su Xiu understood that the reason why Lin Manman did this was because he didn't trust him.

"If there is nothing else, I'll leave first." Lin Manman's voice was soft, but still vigilant, and when he was about to turn around, Su Xiu spoke.

"Wait." Su Xiu stepped forward, but he didn't grab Lin Manman's wrist with his outstretched hand. Instead, he clenched it into a fist and retracted it: "I'm really sorry about what happened last time."

"Which time did you say?" Lin Manman said softly, "I don't remember."

"I've figured out what happened before. It was they who came to strike up a conversation with you first. I've fixed them up. I hope you don't take it to heart. They didn't mean anything malicious."

The words were very soft, and Su Xiu's eyes were lowered. To Lin Manman in front of him, he really had endless tenderness, but he couldn't give her even a little bit of compensation.

Knowing that what happened back then had nothing to do with Lin Manman, why did she still find Lin Manman? She had no feelings for him at all.

Su Xiu knew what Lin Manman was thinking, but he couldn't bear it any longer.

Why did he become like this, Su Xiu himself didn't know.

Lin Manman listened to Su Xiu's words, turned around and looked at the man in front of him, and said, "Since you have apologized to me, I will definitely not take what happened before."

"But this time I'm just out for a stroll, so can you let me go?" She kept a polite smile, but she looked like a very alert person, keeping a distance from Su Xiu.

Hearing Lin Manman's words, Su Xiu was a little embarrassed, but subconsciously took a step to the side, making way for Lin Manman.

In his eyes, as long as he doesn't interfere with Lin Manman and Lin Manman lives happily, that's enough.

But why, why is my heart still unwilling to let go of this woman who is already married.

Thinking of the news of Nie Tingshen's return, Su Xiu's heart hurt even more. He didn't even notice that his mouth was uttering heavy words one after another: "Lin Manman, if one day, Nie Tingshen really disappeared, will you like me?"

Hearing Su Xiu's voice, Lin Manman stopped immediately. She had heard this question many times, really many times.

Last time, Shen Yan would say that, would he like him, would he...

Lin Manman lowered his eyes and said resolutely, "No, I won't."
