CHAPTER 525: CHAPTER 525 ERRAND FEE

"Have some coffee, I ground it myself, using coffee beans from the Saint Paul Mogiana Region. Try the taste."

Ruan Hongzhuang handed a cup of coffee to Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan quickly put down the teacup in his hand and reached out to take it.

"I don’t know much about coffee." Shen Siyuan said as he looked at the dark coffee in the cup.

"Do you understand tea?" Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at Taozi and asked.

"Not really."

"Then there you go. Drink more, and you’ll get it naturally."

As she spoke, she handed another cup of coffee to Taozi.

Taozi pouted at her somewhat discontentedly.

Ruan Hongzhuang stared at her unceremoniously, and Taozi finally reached out to take the coffee.

Since she was facing away from Shen Siyuan, she naturally didn’t notice the silent eye exchange between the two of them.

Then Ruan Hongzhuang sat down next to Shen Siyuan and said to Taozi, "Pour me a cup of tea, let me see how your tea leaves taste?"

"Aren’t you going to drink?" Taozi asked, a bit surprised.

"I want to taste your new tea. Drinking coffee will mix up the flavors." Ruan Hongzhuang said confidently.

"Then why did you ask me to drink it?" Shen Siyuan turned his head, looking at her somewhat bewildered.

"You don’t understand tea or coffee, so it doesn’t matter." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Shen Siyuan shook his head with a smile but didn’t say anything. Instead, he picked up the cup in his hand and took a small sip.

"How is it?" Ruan Hongzhuang immediately inquired.

"You ask me even though I don’t understand coffee?"

"Precisely because you don’t understand, you can give the most unbiased opinion."

"The taste is very smooth, with a slight fruity aroma, but it’s a bit sour. Apart from that, your grinding wasn’t very fine, and there are quite a few impurities, which affects the taste..."

"I asked for your opinion, not such a detailed evaluation." Ruan Hongzhuang muttered.

Shen Siyuan laughed heartily, while Taozi handed over a cup of tea.

"Have some tea."

Ruan Hongzhuang took it with both hands, then sniffed it under her nose, took a small sip first, and then drank it all in one go.

However, she didn’t comment on the quality of the tea but placed the cup on the table, looking at Taozi with a smile.

Taozi hadn’t gone to the company all day, and only saw people after returning from work in the evening. Perhaps it was a good rest or another reason, but in any case, Taozi looked exceptionally good today.

Her cold white skin was truly rosy and peach-like, making one want to take a nibble upon seeing it.

Taozi felt a bit uneasy being looked at and shifted her gaze, not daring to meet her eyes.

Meanwhile, Shen Siyuan acted nonchalantly, picked up his coffee, and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Oh, Dou Dou and Tang Tan are fighting; I’m going to check it out." Shen Siyuan pointed toward the balcony.

There, he saw Tang Tang had knocked Dou Dou down, only to be pinned underneath by Dou Dou, who was pinching her face.

"I’m warning you, I’m not easy to mess with. If you cross me, Dou Dou, there’ll be consequences."

Looking all brotherly, she messed up her words.

"han~han~, Dou Dou...play..."

Tang Tang couldn’t hear, but she was still very happy, tickling Dou Dou’s underarms, making Dou Dou wriggle like a worm.

"It’s just kids playing; what’s so interesting?"

Ruan Hongzhuang pulled Shen Siyuan to sit down.

She took the coffee from Shen Siyuan’s hand and said, "The tea is nice; better stick to tea."

Shen Siyuan looked puzzled, not understanding what she meant.

But Taozi sitting across laughed and immediately filled Shen Siyuan’s cup to the brim.

Shen Siyuan could only helplessly pick up the teacup again, but before he could take a sip, Dou Dou ran over.

"Potato, I have something to tell you."

"I don’t deal with kids’ issues."

Dou Dou widened her eyes, looking surprised upon hearing that.

"You’re not working anymore?"

"What are you talking about? Tang Tang just wants to play with you; don’t fight with her. Besides, she can’t hear what you’re saying. If you really want to fight, you can do it in her dreams tonight..." Shen Siyuan thought for a moment and said.

Dou Dou’s eyes sparkled at this, thinking it was a great idea.

But she quickly realized that wasn’t what she was initially going to say.

"I wasn’t talking about Tang Tang..."

Before Dou Dou could finish, Tang Tang pounced from behind, hugging Dou Dou’s neck.

"Let go...let go..."

Dou Dou felt itchy all over and a bit irritable, wriggling to shake off Tang Tang.

"hanhanhan~"

Tang Tang giggled silly, thinking Dou Dou was playing with her.

Seeing this, Shen Siyuan reached out and picked her up.

Dangling in the air, Tang Tang looked at Shen Siyuan with a dazed expression, not understanding what was happening.

"Now you can speak." Shen Siyuan said.

"I meant Xiao Guoguo’s matter."

"Who is Xiao Guoguo?" Shen Siyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Xiao Guoguo is Yuan Kaiyang." Dou Dou quickly replied.

"Yuan Kaiyang?" Shen Siyuan frowned, as if he had heard the name before.

"He’s Sister Mei Qi’s good friend." Dou Dou said.

Shen Siyuan suddenly remembered; he had heard Sun Meiqi mention it before but didn’t pay much attention.

"Is there an issue with him?" Shen Siyuan asked.

So, Dou Dou told Shen Siyuan everything that happened this afternoon.

Shen Siyuan understood and thought for a moment before saying, "I accept this matter. Have Yuan Kaiyang and his parents wait for me at the Cape View Cafe on Yuanfeng Road tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Dou Dou promptly agreed upon hearing.

"Then repeat it once more."

"Tomorrow morning, Yuan...Circle Illusion Road Longhorn Cafe," Dou Dou stammered.

"Pfft~"

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi almost spat out their tea.

"It’s Yuanfeng Road, Yuanfeng Road, Cape View Cafe, not Longhorn..."

"It is, so why so fierce?" Dou Dou complained under her breath.

"Stop babbling, and say it again for me."

"Circle Illusion Road, Cape View Cafe, Yuanfeng Road..."

Shen Siyuan made her repeat it four or five times before she remembered.

"Alright, go now." Shen Siyuan waved her off.

But Dou Dou stood there, looking up at him, not moving.

"What else?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"Is there an errand fee?" Dou Dou inquired.

"What?"

"Errand fee." Dou Dou repeated.

"What errand fee? What are you talking about?"

"I’m your lackey. If I do an errand for you, shouldn’t I get some errand fee?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Sitting across, Taozi and Ruan Hongzhuang choked, coughing and laughing at the same time.

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

Shen Siyuan pretended to put down Tang Tang from his arms.

Seeing this, Dou Dou quickly turned around and ran toward the balcony, disappearing with a gust of Yin Wind.

Meanwhile, a little boy watching this scene widened his mouth in shock, his eyes round with surprise.

The little boy was Lin Libo’s son, Lin Wentao. Earlier, because of the commotion on the balcony between Tang Tang and Dou Dou, he heard the noise inside and ran out, watching them play while coincidentally witnessing this scene.
