Han Chengchi accepted the teacup with both hands. He always understood the importance of manners, so when Madam Gu passed the teacup to him first, he instinctively turned to pass it to Gu Lanshan. However, as he was halfway through the motion, Madam Gu swiftly grabbed another cup of tea and extended it towards Gu Lanshan. Seeing this, Han Chengchi withdrew the hand he had stretched out halfway.
Madam Gu then let out a slight sigh of relief, picked up the last cup of tea, and slowly took a sip while sitting on the sofa. Then, she said to the nanny behind her, who had served the tea, "Check if the afternoon snack from the kitchen is ready, and bring it out."
"Yes, Madam," replied the nanny with a nod before turning back to the kitchen. She soon returned with a tray carrying three bowls.
"This is green bean soup I had someone stew for us. It's hot in the summer, and this is good for cooling down," explained Madam Gu with a chuckle, then added, "Enen loves it the most."
