This matter has been on He Changan's mind. He cannot judge whether Li Mingxia has feelings for him or not, and he doesn't even know how to express his feelings to Li Mingxia. He was not in a hurry before because he felt that he was the only one by Li Mingxia's side, so he could take it slow and everything would come naturally. At the same time, he also had some kind of inexplicable confidence in himself, thinking that he could be considered outstanding in any aspect, and after getting along for a long time, Li Mingxia would definitely be attracted to him.

But he didn't expect that after so long, Li Mingxia's attitude towards him was still polite and distant. Although the gifts and exchanges were maintained, there was no further progress. This step was the first time that he felt that he might be a little different in Li Mingxia's heart because of Zhengde's matter. He knew Li Mingxia, and she must have felt that he was the most suitable person to do this, so she came to him. Otherwise, at this moment, even if Li Mingxia asked County Magistrate Zhu to come forward, it would be okay. After thinking of this, He Changan was ready to explain his thoughts to Li Mingxia today. He didn't expect that he was interrupted by Xiao Tianyue after he finally mustered up the courage, and now he was stepped on his sore spot accurately. With new and old grudges added together, He Changan looked at Xiao Tianyue with more and more unfriendly eyes.

"Ming Xia is a person who refuses to rely on others. He just wants to make more money and make a living. It just so happens that you are in the restaurant business. If not, do you think Ming Xia and you will have any connection? I will not investigate this matter. If there is a next time, you know that I cannot bring a better partner for Ming Xia?" He Changan's gaze stayed on Xiao Tianyue for a moment and said in a cold voice.

If someone else said this, Xiao Tianyue would definitely sneer at him, but He Changan is not a simple person. Although no one knows where he came from or what his identity is, it is certain that He Changan's background is somewhat complicated. Perhaps he came to this town because of something. But if you just regard him as a manager with a little face in this town, you are very wrong.

"That's not right. I'm afraid no one in this town dares to question Lord He's ability, and I am no exception. But sir, you might as well think about it, if the prices are the same and the profits are the same, who will Miss Li choose?" If Xiao Tianyue could be easily frightened by these few words, then he would not be Xiao Tianyue.

He changed to a more comfortable position and leaned on the cushion. "Of course, Master He can secretly give Miss Li more subsidies. This is also your intention. Naturally, I can't say more."

"It's just that I think Miss Li is not stupid, so there's no guarantee that she won't notice. If Miss Li can pretend not to know these things and accept your kindness calmly, then you don't have to be so worried now. Hahahahahaha, sir, I just said it casually, please don't take it to heart."

After that, Xiao Tianyue's eyes moved back and forth on He Changan's hand for a few times, "Speaking of which, Mingxia's dried fruit tastes really good. Not to mention the same price, even if it is a little more expensive, I think a lot of people will buy it. But Mingxia didn't care about this little money. Obviously, he has a longer-term vision. At this age, he has such a vision. Who knows, I may have to rely on Mingxia in the future."

Although these words made He Changan annoyed, they were still human words. Li Mingxia would not be confined here for the rest of her life. As long as she was given a chance, she would definitely soar to the sky.

He Changan felt a little emotional. It was a pity that such a woman was born in a poor place like the countryside. If she was born in the capital city, it was hard to say what her future would be like.

only……

He Changan suddenly lost the desire to continue arguing with Xiao Tianyue. Perhaps it was because just as Xiao Tianyue could see that Li Mingxia treated He Changan no differently, He Changan could also see that Li Mingxia treated Xiao Tianyue more normally.

At the moment when he just started to feel sorry for Li Mingxia, he couldn't even tell whether he felt a little relieved besides regret.

Are you glad that Li Mingxia was born in the countryside?

"Xiao Tianyue, why did you go to Mingxia's house today?"

"Of course it's for those dried fruits. What else? What else could it be for? Didn't Lord He go there to eat? Is there any other reason?" Xiao Tianyue grabbed a handful of candied fruit. Although the taste was okay, he couldn't help thinking about it ever since he heard Li Mingxia say that she could also make candied fruit. If it was made by Li Mingxia, it must be hundreds or thousands of times better than these ordinary candied fruits.

"But then again, if I have the chance to go to Mingxia's house for dinner, I would also like to go. After all, Mingxia's cooking skills are better than mine." Xiao Tianyue was quite frank about this matter, and there was no shyness or embarrassment when he spoke about it.

"That's natural." He Changan sneered, not knowing what he meant by natural.

"I'm here. Thank you Mr. Xiao for the carriage. I just have something to tell Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Tianyue looked at He Changan, who was standing beside the carriage and had a tall and handsome figure, and nodded slightly.

"All ears."

"I have known Ming Xia for a long time. I am the one who calls her Ming Xia. Please respect yourself, Mr. Xiao, and don't bring unnecessary trouble to Ming Xia."

Originally, Xiao Tianyue just wanted to annoy He Changan by imitating his way of calling him Ming Xia, but the more he called him that, the more comfortable it became and he actually got used to it.

"Mingxia is a good name. I like her more than Miss Li. If she feels troubled, she can come and tell me. When Lord He can make a decision for Mingxia, she can teach me a lesson." Xiao Tianyue sneered, and he didn't know where the anger came from. "Let's go!"

The carriage moved as expected, and He Changan and Xiao Tianyue parted unhappily.

Li Mingxia naturally didn't know about this. What she was more concerned about now was what meal to prepare for Li Zhengde tomorrow morning and what to use to keep it warm. It was winter now, so these things could not be taken lightly.

Although there are lunch boxes that can be kept warm in the space, they are too conspicuous and with so many people talking, they might attract other people's attention. It would be a big problem to explain where they came from.

After much thought, Li Mingxia could only take out a huge food box from the space, and then wrap it inside and out with thick layers of cotton, leaving only space for the food.

The food box has three layers in total. It is large enough, so even after being modified, it can hold four dishes, a bowl of soup and a portion of rice. Moreover, Li Zhengde is alone, so the portion does not need to be too large.
