Chapter 238
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âWhat smells so good?â Lily rubbed her nose and could not help sneezing. The sudden sneeze spoiled the warm, loving atmosphere. âItâs hangover soup.â Alexander let go of Lily and straightened his body.
Then he said, âIâll go and get you some to drink.â
By the time Lily sat up, Alexander had already carried a bowl over and put it in front of her.â Drink it while itâs hot. Then go back to the room, take a bath, and rest well.â
âIâm not sleepy,â Lily mumbled softly, stirring the soup with a spoon. âAre you sure this is hangover soup?â Although she had never tried it before, she imagined hangover soup to taste weird. However, this soup tasted good. The lotus lily, walnut, red dates, plum, and other unidentifiable ingredients had a nice color and a pleasant taste.
This is hangover soup?â
âI think so.â Alexander did not seem to have any doubts since these were not questionable ingredients.
âThis is my first time making it. I found the ingredients online. The other hangover soup recipes donât taste good, but I think this is all right. Coincidentally, we have all the ingredients at home, so I tried making it.â
Afterward, he lowered his head, lised Lilyâs spoon to drink a mouthful of soup, and straightened his back as he examined the taste. Next, he told her seriously, âItâs fine.â
Lily was so touched that she did not know what to say.
âHeâs so considerate. Not only did he go online to search for the recipe, he considered my preferences and even tasted the soup for me.
Without further ado, Lily quickly finished all the hangover soup. The sweet and sour flavor was not bad.
It was refreshing and made her head ache less.
âSorry,â she said as she put down the bowl.
âI thought you were going to thank me again.â Alexander looked at the empty bowl and took it as a sign that she was satisfied.
âThank you, of course, but I want to apologize more. I didnât expect my alcohol tolerance to be so bad.
Iâve never really had alcohol before. I swear that next time, I will not drink like this anymore. This is the first and last time.â She raised a hand like she was taking an oath. âI made you worry.â
Alexander looked at Lily intensely, put her hand down, and pulled it to his chest. âAs long as you know that you made me worry. Next time you go and drink, iâll go with you. If Iâm not there, donât drink.â
âOh.â Lily snuggled closer to Alexander in his arms and nodded. âGo wash up and sleep,â Alexander said as he softly kissed her forehead. Lily grabbed his neck and whined softly, âNo, Iâm not sleepy now.
Alex, I have an immature thought to share with you.â
âHuh?â Alexander faintly asked as he embraced her shoulders with one hand, âLast time, I experimented with new products, making perfume, using the average person as my reference. What I got was wellâloved. You could say it was prevalent and sold well, but I want to make something different.â
She had been thinking about this idea more and more lately. However, she had not wholly considered how to do it or if it was feasible, so she did not say anything Since she was still lightâheaded from the alcohol or felt like sharing withi Alexander, she decided to tell him.
âYou want to build a highâquality brand?â Alexander asked after some thought.
Lily straightened her back and looked at him with appreciation. True enough, he was an old timer in the lasliion world, a leader in style. Even before she clarified, Alexander had already guessed what she wanted to do. âRight, thatâs what I want to do,â Lily said with a serious expression and nodded cautiously.
