Chapter 120: Don’t Give Gifts, Just Give Money! (2)

“Go, go, shoo!” Zhang Guifang put on a look of disdain as she shooed him off quickly, looking as if she didn’t even want to take another look at them.

“Goodbye, auntie.” Su Yaya gave her a polite goodbye.

“Remember to take your medicine.” Zhang Guifang liked her very much. She didn’t even forget to remind her about her medicine when she left.

No matter how spoiled Su Yaya was, she wouldn’t try to act cute in front of her. She said that for her own good after all. So, she nodded and said, “I will, auntie.”

“Good. Come over to play when you have the time,” Zhang Guifang said.

Su Yaya responded, “Okay.”

The longer she looked at her, the more Zhang Guifang liked her. Smiling, she watched them leave in their car before going back in.

While on the ride back, Chen Xiuqi said as he drove, “My second aunt likes you a lot.”

Su Yaya smiled cheerfully. “Of course! I’m so cute after all.”

“That’s just narcissism!” Chen Xiuqi glanced over at her. Su Yaya was smiling sweetly at him, revealing the cute little dimples on her cheeks. She was really beautiful, and she really did have the right to be a narcissist.

Once they returned home, Chen Xiuqi brought the medicine into the kitchen. Su Yaya was pacing about behind him, begging, “Can I not drink it?”

Chen Xiuqi gave her a cold look. “You promised auntie.”

“Hubby~,” Su Yaya said in a spoiled manner while she tugged at his sleeve with her petite hands.

Chen Xiuqi responded with a straight face, “It’s no use even if you call me God. You have to drink your medicine.”

Su Yaya pursed her lips.

Chen Xiuqi pinched her cheeks and teased her. “If you pout your lips any higher I’ll be able to put soy sauce bottles on them.”

So, Su Yaya could only put her lips back down.

Chen Xiuqi chuckled. He turned around and opened the cupboard, took out a large bowl, and poured in some hot water. He took a pack of medicine from the plastic bag and put it into the hot water for a while. When the bag was just about hot enough to drink, he poured away the hot water and cut out a slit into the bag before pouring the dark liquid into the bowl.

Su Yaya was standing right next to him. When she smelled the bitterness of the concoction, she quickly covered her nose and said, “I’m gonna be sick...”

Chen Xiuqi looked over to her and saw her puffing her cheeks in angry. Even her face had turned red. After moving the medicine away, Su Yaya finally took a deep sigh of relief.

“What can I do to convince you to drink this?” Chen Xiuqi looked helplessly at her. “You told auntie you’d take your medicine for the sake of your body. Is that all your guarantee is worth? Then I’ll call auntie and tell her you won’t drink it. It’ll be better if she just keeps you in there.”

When Su Yaya saw that he was going to take out his phone, she quickly stopped him. “No, don’t. Don’t call auntie.”

Even though she and Zhang Guifang only spent two hours together in the afternoon, she could still see that Zhang Guifang really was a very good person. She liked her from the bottom of her heart. She didn’t want to make her unhappy by having her replace out she didn’t want to take her medicine. She still wanted to leave a good impression to her seniors.

Chen Xiuqi sighed. Really, what was he going to do with her? He reached out to carry her and placed her on the counter. After placing a kiss on her forehead, he tried to coax her gently, “My sweet darling, how am I going to get you to drink your medicine?”

“I’m scared of the bitterness.” Su Yaya kept her head down.

Chen Xiuqi raised her head to make her look at him. “Then I’ll add sugar for you.”

Su Yaya responded with a quiet hum.

Chen Xiuqi brought out the sugar jar from the cupboard and stirred in two tablespoons into the medicine. Then, he brought the medicine in front of Su Yaya. “You can drink it now, right?”
