Chapter 10: Hot Water Bottle for Future Mother-in-law
Xiao Ran smiled and said, “No need for that. We were originally separated by over a thousand years. The meeting was fate, as they said, “A hundred years of cultivation brings a shared journey. A thousand years of cultivation brings shared rest.”
Li Lizhi blushed at the mention of sleeping together, saying, “Disciple! You’re bold!”
Her shy and angry demeanor was equally charming.
“No, I’m speaking the truth!” Xiao Ran insisted.
“Don’t say that!” Li Lizhi hurriedly responded.
Xiao Ran nodded, silently thinking, “Next time, I’ll dare again!”
The two finished the few dishes.
Li Lizhi touched her stomach, a happy smile on her face. “Never had such a delicious meal.”
Curious about Xiao Ran’s living room, Li Lizhi didn’t want to return to her cold bedroom after experiencing the warmth and brightness at Xiao Ran’s place.
Xiao Ran asked, “Your Highness, what does the empress like to eat?”
Li Lizhi thought and said, “Mother doesn’t seem picky, nothing specific she likes.”
Xiao Ran thought, “You’re making it difficult for me, Fat Tiger!”
“The Empress isn’t well. I’ll make something light and nourishing. How does that sound?” Xiao Ran suggested.
“No objection, whatever you think is good!” Li Lizhi now trusted Xiao Ran’s cooking skills.
“I’ll prepare it in the kitchen.”
Li Lizhi nodded, “Go!”
As Xiao Ran busied himself in the kitchen, Li Lizhi explored the living room, filled with curiosity.
Many things intrigued Li Lizhi. Walking to the window, she was amazed at the tall buildings outside the community. The rectangular boxes on the road also caught her attention.
“It looks quite appealing.”
Now Li Lizhi understood that the development had reached unimaginable heights after over a thousand years. That was just the tip of the iceberg.
“What are you thinking? Why so engrossed?” Xiao Ran suddenly approached.
Li Lizhi was startled, “You apprentice…You scared me!”
Li Lizhi gazed at Xiao Ran with resentment.
“I didn’t expect you to daydream while watching here,” she remarked.
Li Lizhi brushed off the question, asking, “Is it done so quickly?”
“The soup still needs some time!” Xiao Ran replied.
Ignoring the question, Li Lizhi asked, “Xiao Ran, can you help? The Queen mother’s hands are cold, and her feet have frostbite.”
Xiao Ran immediately thought of using a hot water bag.
“You can try, but I’m not sure how effective it will be,” he said.
Excited by the suggestion, Li Lizhi urged, “Tell me quickly!”
Xiao Ran found two discarded hot water bottles and suggested, “Fill them with hot water, hold them, and place them by her feet when she sleeps.”
Li Lizhi skeptically examined the hot water bottle, asking, “Will this work?”
“Try it, and you’ll see!” Xiao Ran filled the hot water bottle and handed it to her, saying, “Test its effectiveness.”
Li Lizhi took the hot water bottle and exclaimed, “It works well! The queen mother has warm hands and a warm body!”
Xiao Ran nodded, “Exactly, and it’s convenient. You just need to change the hot water.”
“Great!” Li Lizhi was pleased. “Xiao Ran, how much is this? I can’t take your things for free.”
“It’s not worth anything, and I don’t need it. Just take it,” Xiao Ran replied.
Building a good relationship is more important, and he knows he’ll make a profit in the future.
He was happy to give his future mother-in-law two hot water bottles, Xiao Ran maintained a positive attitude.
