Su Mei didn't understand why Chen Nan asked, but she was the type of woman whose values followed her appearance.
Especially since Chen Nan's eyes were clear and pure, she let down her guard and said, "Every project has a three-month buffer period. Even if the construction is delayed, there's no loss."
"But I have a bet with my family. If I can't complete the Jinxiu Qiancheng project within the specified time, I'll have to marry a man I don't like."
Chen Nan asked, "In other words, this project is related to your destiny?"
"Yes." A complex look flashed in Su Mei's eyes, and she immediately added, "Mr. Chen, I only have over two million yuan in funds. I hope you can help me brew the summer heat relief soup for four hundred people. If you think it's too little, I can also give you that Ferrari."
Chen Nan waved his hand and said casually, "Taking advantage of someone's misfortune goes against my sect's heritage. Although the cost of the summer heat relief soup isn't low, it's not that expensive. How about this, you give me forty thousand yuan, and I'll help you brew four hundred servings of the summer heat relief soup."
Su Mei's beautiful eyes showed undisguised shock, "What did you just say? Forty thousand yuan to help me?"
"Yes, forty thousand yuan is enough."
"Thank you!" Su Mei stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Chen Nan.
At the same time, she also developed a good impression of Chen Nan.
Not only was this man handsome, but he was also kind-hearted. Such people were rare in society.
And at the moment she bowed, her neckline revealed a glimpse of her cleavage.
The astonishing cleavage and snowy curves made Chen Nan's heart race.
Could one hand even hold this size?
At this moment.
Two guests came to eat. Chen Nan quickly said, "Miss Su, how about this, you come to Chen's Medical Hall at the crossroads tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock to pick up the medicine. I'll try my best to brew the summer heat relief soup for four hundred people before then."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Su Mei bowed again, then excitedly drove away in her Ferrari from the night market.
"Son, do you know that girl?" Jia Cui's gossipy fire burned intensely, "You're not young anymore. If you really like her, then pursue her boldly. As long as you stick to the principle of shamelessness, you'll definitely win her over."
Chen Nan gave a wry smile, "Is that how my dad pursued you back then?"
"No." Jia Cui cleared her throat, "Back then, the shameless one was me!"
Chen Nan shivered. He never expected that his mother was the one who made the first move back then.
"Don't be flippant. When it comes to love, you have to strike first." Jia Cui said with a serious expression.
She sincerely hoped that Chen Nan would find a girlfriend as soon as possible, so she wouldn't have to worry about her daughter having inappropriate thoughts about Chen Nan.
"Mom, you're overthinking it. We're just ordinary friends. Uh, I have something to do, I need to go out. I won't be home tonight." After greeting his parents, Chen Nan went directly to Yangxin Tang to buy some medicinal herbs for brewing the summer heat relief soup.
Refining four hundred servings of the summer heat relief soup was also a considerable challenge for him, requiring him to work through the night.
------
Back at Chen's Medical Hall, He Shanshan had already locked the rolling shutter.
"Sister Shanshan, please open the door."
Chen Nan called He Shanshan. A moment later, He Shanshan, wearing a loose white t-shirt, opened the rolling shutter.
Her slender legs were completely free of any excess flesh.
Her collar was slightly open, revealing a proud cleavage.
What made Chen Nan's breathing quicken even more was that she was not wearing a bra.
"Look again and I'll dig your eyes out!" He Shanshan said angrily.
Chen Nan said with great pain, "Can you bear to let me not see your peerless beauty?"
"Smooth talker!" He Shanshan's face turned red, but she was secretly delighted.
Which woman didn't love to hear nice words?
Especially when these words came from Chen Nan.
Seeing Chen Nan holding a large woven bag in each hand, He Shanshan asked curiously, "What's in the bags?"
Chen Nan chuckled, "I took on a big order earlier. I need to brew the summer heat relief soup overnight."
He Shanshan pouted, "The medical hall hasn't even opened yet, what big order could you have taken?"
"You'll know tomorrow." Chen Nan carried the woven bags to the kitchen.
He Shanshan followed him and asked with concern, "Have you eaten?"
Chen Nan gave a shy smile, "I haven't had time yet."
He Shanshan said, "How about I make you some noodles?"
Chen Nan rolled his eyes, "How about I make *you* some noodles!"
Seeing his reaction, a blush quickly rose on He Shanshan's pretty face. She said with a mixture of anger and amusement, "What are you thinking? I meant boiling noodles for you to eat."
Chen Nan was very embarrassed.
This time, he had misunderstood.
But he couldn't be blamed entirely.
Being alone in a room with his former dream girl late at night, and her dressed so alluringly, any man would have wandering thoughts.
Thinking of this, he put his arm around He Shanshan's slender waist, his eyes burning with desire, "What if I said, I want to eat *you*?"
"Don't do this..."
He Shanshan was unusually clear-headed and didn't have an episode.
She looked at Chen Nan with a hint of shyness, "It's still early now, can we talk about it later?"
Since she hadn't refused, there was hope.
Chen Nan wasn't in a hurry. He had to stay up all night brewing tonight anyway, so there would be plenty of opportunities.
"I'll go upstairs and cook you some noodles first!"
He Shanshan ran off with a blushing face.
Chen Nan grinned and began his preparations.
About half an hour later, He Shanshan pushed open the window on the second floor and poked her head out, her voice soft, "Chen Nan, come up and eat noodles!"
He was impatient, and headed straight for the second floor.
However, when he saw He Shanshan wearing pajama pants, his mood immediately soured.
Pajama pants were nowhere near as convenient as a large t-shirt!
He Shanshan seemed to sense Chen Nan's thoughts and looked a little embarrassed, "Chen Nan, I'm sorry, I... I got my period, just now."
"I've gotten through these years, can't I get through these few days?" Chen Nan said with a smile as he sat down at the dining table.
He Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Was it very difficult for you these past few years?"
Chen Nan shrugged unapologetically, "It wasn't very pleasant anyway."
He Shanshan's eyes were tense, "How about I help you?"
Chen Nan pouted, "You have your period, how can you help?"
"Just eat your noodles, why ask so many questions?" He Shanshan gave him a flirtatious look, and then, to Chen Nan's stunned and shocked gaze, she disappeared under the dining table.
Chen Nan's mind went blank.
They say actions speak louder than words, and he seemed to understand He Shanshan's intentions.
This was far more exciting than directly "eating" He Shanshan!
And just as He Shanshan was about to take the first bite...
A violent crashing sound came from the rolling shutter downstairs.
Immediately followed by an enraged roar, "He Shanshan, I know you and Chen Nan are hooking up! Hurry up and open the door for me, I'm going to castrate this damned turtle!"
