Qiao Nian's phone kept ringing along the way. The boss brought out the freshly cut lamb when they arrived at the dining area. The hot bone soup in the pot was boiling.
Qiao Nian crossed her legs and replied to the messages on her phone.
Ye Wangchuan poured her a cup of strong tea; the tea leaves floated in the ginger water. He placed the teacup in front of the girl, restrained his noble aura, and said gently, "Drink some water before eating. It's good for your stomach."
Qiao Nian had just replied to Jiang Li's message when she reached out to pick up the teacup. She took a sip and put the cup down.
She looked up and asked him in surprise, "What tea is this?"
"Jun Shan Silver Needle Tea." Ye Wangchuan smiled and ironed her chopsticks in hot water before handing them over. "Does it not taste as bitter as other tea leaves?"
Qiao Nian took another sip and slowly placed the teacup on the table. She hummed and said lazily and arrogantly, "Ah. I knew it was different from the tea I drank before."
"Yes, this is produced by the tea tree in the boss's hometown. He goes back every year during the tea gathering season. He handled everything from picking tea leaves to roasting them."
Qiao Nian picked up the teacup and sniffed it again. As expected, the fragrance of tea greeted her.
Her eyes darkened.
No wonder, she thought. It's new tea.
Many people liked to look at the variety of tea leaves, but it had to be new no matter how expensive the tea was.
When she heard Ye Wangchuan say that this was new tea, she took another casual sip like a cat before putting the cup down again.
Ye Wangchuan smiled upon seeing that she liked the tea. Her sitting posture was similar to Qiao Nian's but slightly more upright. "The tea here is one of the boss's specialties. It hadn't been produced yet the last time I brought you here."
As he spoke, the girl's phone lit up again.
Qiao Nian's shoulders relaxed as she leaned against the stool. Her gaze returned to her phone. She picked it up and opened the message.
This time, it was still the person who had sent her a WeChat message.
