“Alright then.” Mei Yan, with a pout, finally behaved.

Seeing this, Lu Si wanted to reach out and ruffle his hair. However, considering the medicinal wine accidentally smeared on his hands, he withdrew his hand and said, “Okay, wait here for a while. I’ll have someone bring you some snacks and fruits.”

With that, he walked to the bathroom to wash his hands.

In a short while, Jiang He and Jiang Hai each brought in several trays, placing them on the table one by one.

Jiang He had a keen nose and an extroverted personality.

He walked in and immediately caught a whiff of the strange smell in the room. He couldn’t help but sniff and asked, “Hasn’t Master Si always lit incense in his study? Why does it smell so bad today? Did something go bad? Could it be that the old man got angry again and sent someone to release a poison gas bomb on Master Si? That’s too ruthless!”

On the sofa, Mei Yan’s face had turned so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.

Jiang He, however, ignored it and continued chattering with Jiang Hai, “No, 1 must find out. The old man probably won’t go so far as to stink Master Si to death, but someone else might take advantage of the situation. Today, 1 must find the source of this smell!”

Jiang Hai clicked his tongue and pulled his brother’s arm.

Jiang He impatiently shook off his hand, “Why are you stopping me? Hurry up and help me find it!”

He obviously didn’t understand Jiang Hai’s intention, still wrinkling his nose and sniffing around the room with his eyes closed.

While he sniffed randomly and moved around, he followed the smell until he reached Mei Yan.

“Right here!” Jiang He suddenly opened his eyes with excitement, pointing at the child in front of him as if presenting a discovery.

Jiang Hai almost wanted to turn around and pretend not to know him.

The next second, Mei Yan gritted his teeth and shouted, “You’re all bad people! 1 want to leave right now!”

His loud voice immediately alerted the patrolling bodyguards in the corridor.

Someone immediately knocked on the door outside the study.

Lu Si, coming out of the bathroom, saw the awkward scene inside the room.

Mei Yan, infuriated, with a red face, seemed to sense Lu Si’s gaze. He subconsciously pulled his foot back, and some of the not yet dried medicinal wine smeared onto the sofa.

Lu Si frowned and coldly said to the person outside, “What’s the matter?”

“Master Si, we seemed to have heard the voice of a child just now. Is there only you in the study?”

The bodyguards outside were still somewhat wary of Lu Si, so they didn’t dare to barge in directly.

Otherwise, if they came in now, Mei Yan would surely be discovered.

Lu Si glanced at the visibly annoyed Mei Yan.

Jiang Hai immediately understood, lifted the child from the sofa, put him under the desk, and nodded to Lu Si.

Jiang He’s intelligence went online this time. He quickly went to open the door and said, “We were discussing matters with Master Si. How could there be the voice of a child? You must have misheard.”

Once the door was opened, the bodyguards immediately caught a whiff of the mixed scent of medicinal wine and a strange smell, and involuntarily took a step back. One of them asked, “Is Master Si injured?”

Jiang He lazily said, “No, 1 accidentally spilled the medicinal wine just now. Master Si is in a bad mood. He scolded me just now. Do you want to come in and listen?”

“No, no dare.” Hearing that Lu Si was in a bad mood, those people didn’t dare to come forward again. They apologized to Lu Si and quickly left the vicinity of the study.

Jiang He finally breathed a sigh of relief, made sure the people were really gone, and then closed the door securely.

Jiang Hai picked up Mei Yan and put him back on the sofa, opened the window to dispel the smell of medicinal wine in the room.

Mei Yan still blushed a bit. He glared at Jiang He with hatred and silently made a mental note to settle this score with him later!

This humiliation will surely be avenged in the future!

“Alright, you can leave now,” Lu Si said coldly, ushering Jiang He and Jiang Hai out.

Jiang He and Jiang Hai naturally didn’t dare to linger, quickly retreating out.

With only the two of them left in the room again, it became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Lu Si took a sip of tea, saw Mei Yan still looking embarrassed, and couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Do you really feel that embarrassed?”

Mei Yan stared at him, gritted his teeth, and said, “Can’t you see it?”

This big liar deliberately embarrassed him by asking such a question, fully aware of the answer!

Lu Si chuckled and said, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? Jiang He has done more embarrassing things in the past.”

Upon hearing this, Mei Yan suddenly brightened, “Tell me about it?”

Lu Si glanced at his foot, confirmed that the medicinal wine had been absorbed sufficiently, and began helping him put on slippers. “When Jiang He first followed me, he was always clumsy and lacked tact, and almost messed up my affairs several times.”

“Then why did you keep him?” Mei Yan maliciously asked, “Such a person should be sent away early. Keeping him around would only be a hindrance, more trouble than help!”

Actually, he didn’t really think so. He just felt embarrassed and wanted to find some balance in his mind.

But Lu Si didn’t rush to answer.. He pushed the trays of snacks and fruits towards him before slowly saying, “But everyone has their flaws and moments of helplessness, don’t they?”
