The dinner was cooked by Xiao Nannan herself. She prepared a huge table of dishes, which were especially sumptuous. She even specially opened a bottle of red wine.

In Xiao Nannan's words, it had been a long time since her father left and the house was bustling with noise and excitement.

It was almost eight in the evening by the time he finished his meal. The sky had already turned completely dark.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Nannan and her daughter, Qin Hai drove Shen Meng out of the Xiao family. He then headed straight to the Skypiercing Garden in preparation to give the Dao Repository manual to Shen Meng.

It was unknown whether it was because she drank two more gla.s.ses of red wine or because she would be able to see the legendary ancient book soon. Along the way, Shen Meng was very excited and told him a lot about her experience in the field of insect research and acupuncture. The jubilant laughter never stopped, allowing Qin Hai to see the other side hidden underneath her elegant appearance.

Qin Hai discovered that in Shen Meng's world, other than studying bugs, there was only the fanaticism towards ancient Chinese medicine. She had very little interest towards clothes, accessories and cosmetics that all girls would like.

That is to say, she was a very simple and persistent woman. Other than these things, there seemed to be nothing else that attracted her attention.

Along the way, whenever Qin Hai mentioned the Daoist Canon, Shen Meng would become especially excited. Questions arose one after another, as if she wanted to immediately see the book.

When they arrived at Tianshun Garden and entered Qin Hai's house, Shen Meng became even more obvious.

Her breathing had suddenly quickened, and her eyes were darting around, eager to see it clearly on her face.

Her current appearance was completely different from the calm and collected manner she had been before, like a little girl tossing and turning in the middle of a peaceful night, eagerly looking forward to seeing a Christmas present.

Qin Hai saw Shen Meng's expression and inwardly laughed. He couldn't help wanting to tease her.

"Sister Shen, can you sit first? Would you like some water?"

Qin Hai gestured for Chen Meng to sit down on the sofa, then he picked up the water bottle and shook it.

Seeing Qin Hai turning on the TV and boiling water, Shen Meng almost died from anxiety. However, she was too embarra.s.sed to urge him on. She could only twist her hands together, feeling conflicted.

It wasn't easy for him to get Qin Hai to boil some water. He thought that Qin Hai would go get the book, but then he slapped his forehead again and said, "Look at my brain. Sister Shen, please sit down first. I'm going out to buy some fruits. The first time you came to my house, you couldn't possibly not have any hospitality at all! "

Shen Meng was so anxious that she was about to cry. She did not have the time to be reserved and quickly stood up to stop Qin Hai.

"No need to buy any fruits, I can't eat anything right now, so you don't have to be polite with me!" That … Little Qin, can you … Show me the book? "

Although Qin Hai was holding back his laughter, his stomach was already hurting from laughing. He really didn't want to say it, Shen Meng's current appearance was quite fun.

He stopped teasing Shen Meng and returned to his room to retrieve the book. Then, he handed it over to Shen Meng.

Shen dreamed of the book that Qin Hai had given him. His eyes lit up with excitement as he carefully held it in both hands, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.

Seeing Shen Meng acting as if she had obtained a treasure, Qin Hai started to sweat profusely. He didn't normally treat this book as a treasure and would always stuff it under his pillow after reading it. Sometimes, he would even bring it to the toilet.

When he thought of the miserable look on Li Mingjun's face when he was bitten by bugs, Qin Hai shuddered and quickly shut his mouth. He decided that even if he was beaten to death, he could not speak of those things.

Shen Meng was engrossed in her book and was engrossed in it. She did not even notice that Qin Hai had gone out on a trip. When Qin Hai returned with a bag of fruits, he saw that Shen Meng was still holding the book in the same posture as before. She was staring at it without blinking, as if she had turned into a humanoid statue.

"En!" Shen Meng didn't even raise her head. After catching the apple, she only took a small bite and then put all her attention back on the book. She probably forgot about the apple in her hand.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock. Qin Hai saw that Shen Meng was lost in thought, so he didn't disturb her.

Shen Meng's gaze still hadn't left the book. She fumbled for her phone and called out. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and looked around the room. When she saw the clock on the wall, she asked in surprise, "Is it past ten?"

After hanging up, she quickly closed the book and stood up. She said to Qin Hai, "It's too late, I have to go back to the hotel first. Can I take this book with me?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Meng really considered it and then said, "Forget it, I'm worried about Meiqi staying at the hotel by herself. I must go back today."

In other words, if it hadn't been for Du Meiqi, she really might have stayed.

Looking at Shen Meng's exquisite face and graceful figure, it was definitely a lie for Qin Hai to say that he didn't have that moment of interest. If such a beautiful woman stayed under the same roof with him for an entire night, then that man and woman alone would be enough to make one's blood boil!

However, Qin Hai was just thinking about it. He was very clear that Shen Meng was definitely different from what he thought. Shen Meng really wanted to save some time to read.

"Then I'll send you over!"

Not allowing Shen Meng to refuse, Qin Hai took the car keys and led her out. He then drove her straight to the hotel and watched as she entered the hotel before driving away.

"Autumn Leaf left long ago." After Du Meiqi walked to Shen Meng's side, she suddenly leaned over to take a careful sniff.

"There seems to be a smell of smoke." Du Meiqi held onto Shen Meng's arm, winking as she said, "Aunt, you came back so late, did you go on a date with that Qin Hai?" Chapter error, point this report (registered free)
