This residential area had very strict security management. Thankfully, Qin Siting returned just in time, saving Ji Nuan a lot of trouble as they followed him in.

Seeing how, after receiving permission, Ji Nuan carried her basket and strolled over to the back of the villa, Qin Siting glanced at the ceiling-to-floor windows behind to glimpse at the woman in his backyard. His lips curved in a faint, apathetic smile. He reached into the liquor cabinet by his side to bring out an old bottle of red wine, pouring it into a tall glass.

He handed one to Mo Jingshen and then swayed the wine in his glass lightly as he casually said, “You sure are generous when coaxing your woman. Even my place has to be selflessly dedicated to her.”

Mo Jingshen’s lips curved imperceptibly. He took a taste of the wine and placed the glass down.

“When did your taste become so poor?” he lightly mocked.

Qin Siting coldly muttered, “I have at least five to six surgeries each day. I’m busy to the point where I can barely return home. All of the alcohol in the cabinet were gifts. Good ones, bad ones, being able to drink them is considered luck in itself. Do you still have to pick on them?”

Mo Jingshen was cold and indifferent. “Next time I’ll have Shen Mu send two bottles over.”

Qin Siting furrowed his brows and placed down his glass. He was unable to hold back a chuckle as he spoke, “Truly a profitable business. Your wines are all from the 80s and are high grade, precious wine. One basket of vegetables can actually be exchanged for two bottles of good wine. In the future, should I just quit my job and focus on nourishing this land of vegetables? It’s even more profitable than being a doctor!”

Although Mo Jingshen was slightly dissatisfied, he still picked up the glass of wine for another sip. After a moment, he said mildly, “Ever since that woman trampled on you and headed for overseas, in these years, your quality of life and tastes have been steadily dropping. I simply can’t bear to watch any further.”

“Ah.” Qin Siting poured himself another glass of wine, but his smile did not reach his eyes. He glanced back to take another look at Ji Nuan, who had become excited while picking vegetables. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Brothers are like hands and feet, while women are like clothing. In these few years, this old man has gotten used to being naked.”

Mo Jingshen’s charming brows moved a little. He eyed him mockingly. “Back then, who was it that almost broke his own arms and legs for a woman? You speak as though you’re disillusioned with the mortal world. Do you really think you’re a vegetarian monk?”

Qin Siting was unmoved as he wrinkled his brows. He was silent for a moment before pouring himself another glass of wine, downing it in one go.

After heavily placing the cup down, Qin Siting coldly and thinly sneered. “Just because you’ve obtained a woman, do you think you’re amazing?”

“En, amazing.”

Qin Siting choked. He wanted to laugh but did not as he eyed him before reaching up to massage his own brows. “I’ll go to the back to see what your woman is up to. Don’t stay here and disgust me…”

Ji Nuan was currently in the backyard garden picking vegetables one by one. She had never thought that Doctor Qin’s backyard would be so large. He had all the vegetables and fruits one would need. Even though it was autumn right now, almost half of the area in the back was installed with shelters that could generate artificial sunlight. It could be seen that the Qin family’s Elder really treasured these. The arrangements were well made for the plants to grow in the autumn and winter.

Although the scene of such a garden was a big mismatch with the high-class villa, standing in such a green space really enabled one’s spirits to be lifted.

Most importantly, Doctor Qin’s house was very clean. The fruits and vegetables planted here were also delicious. There was no need to worry about the use of chemical pesticides or other drugs like other places would.

Ji Nuan picked out a bright red tomato. She then casually plucked out a round cabbage from the nearby ground. They had yet to be washed or cooked, but they already stimulated one’s appetite.

Abruptly, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching. The moment she turned back, she saw Qin Siting walking over unhurriedly. His gaze scanned the things in her basket, a flash of laughter appearing in his eyes.

“Mrs. Mo is so idle and carefree. I almost thought you came here for a vacation.” Qin Siting walked over, casually picking up the cabbage in the basket. “En, one really shouldn’t spread this, but it seems like in the future, the Qin family can also enter the farming industry. These kinds of vegetables, selling one for 100 yuan would not be too overboard.”

“Thankfully you’re uninterested in the Qin family’s company. Otherwise, with your methods of overcharging, in just a few years, the Qin family would be crippled.” Ji Nuan half-joked as she plucked another tomato. She casually rubbed it with her hand and took a bite.

Qin Siting eyed her. “You’re eating it without washing?”

“There are no pesticides on it. I won’t die from eating it.” Ji Nuan was in a good mood from the sour sweetness in her mouth. She completely did not pay any attention to the expression of dissatisfaction on Qin Siting’s face. Her other hand plucked another tomato and handed it to him.

After seeing he did not receive it, she raised her eyes and threw it into the basket. “I know that you doctors are all obsessed with cleanliness, but you can’t be that delicate? Such a natural product yet you won’t eat it. Could it be you only drink disinfectant every day?”

Qin Siting’s standing posture was casual. He crossed his arms, mildly and idly glancing at her. “The Ji family’s eldest Miss who has always been delicate is actually calling someone else delicate… ah, are you beating your own face? Have you forgotten the sort of temper you had in the past?”

“People change.” Ji Nuan did not look at him, lowering her head to check the produce in her basket. Her tone was mild and peaceful. “Regardless of whether it is in the past or present, I’m still me. A little change in personality and lifestyle habits is still normal.”

Qin Siting suddenly chuckled mockingly. He indifferently and coldly said, “Indeed, women are all good at changing.”

Ji Nuan’s paused in her actions of rearranging the vegetables in the basket. She could guess his tone held some hidden meaning, and instinctively felt that Qin Siting had some stories to tell. She raised her eyes to look at him.

However, Qin Siting did not focus on her any further. He turned around and left a few words. “Be careful. Don’t step on the radish and potatoes on the floor. If you spoil them, my family’s Elder might directly look for your Mo Jingshen to settle the bill.”

Ji Nuan faltered. She lowered her head to look at the things buried under the soil next to her feet. Earlier on, she did not pay any attention to this side. Thankfully, she did not step on it.
