He instantly understood what Song Qiuya was up to, and a hint of embarrassment crept into his gaze as he looked at Qin Chuxia.
"Wow... that smells amazing..." Looking at the bowl of fragrant Fish Fillet Congee before her, white and creamy, Qin Chuxia perked up a little.
But the moment she picked up her spoon and took her first mouthful, she froze.
A gentle, pure energy slid down her throat into her stomach, instantly turning into a warm current that spread through her entire body. It felt even better than soaking in the finest hot spring, as though every exhausted cell was cheering with joy. All the fatigue, restless heat, and listlessness from tossing and turning the night before vanished in that instant.
"This is so delicious!" Qin Chuxia's eyes lit up. All her grievances and frustration flew out the window as she buried her head in the bowl and slurped away with gusto, as if she intended to make up for all the "suffering" she had endured last night with this bowl of congee.
Song Qiuya merely smiled elegantly and savored it in small spoonfuls, looking as though she was tasting not congee, but the fruits of victory.
By the time breakfast was over, the two women were in completely different shape from before. The fish raised in Spirit Spring Water contained a faint trace of spiritual energy, which greatly benefited ordinary people's bodies. Qin Chuxia glowed with renewed vitality, back to her usual energetic self.
Just then, Song Qiuya's phone rang. Seeing that it was her father's assistant, she answered immediately.
"Ms. Song, we've arrived at the underground parking garage of River View Splendor Mansion."
"All right, we'll be right down."
After hanging up, Song Qiuya looked at Chen Lin. "Dad sent someone to collect the gold."
