After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Because she was preoccupied, Lilith spoke absentmindedly, fiddling with a dried herb. She asked, "Then tell me, what effect does this thing you spent so much effort to make actually have?"

Hearing this, Da Zhong suddenly became excited, as if he had finally found an opportunity to promote his treasure. He said proudly, "These ointments of mine can strengthen men's bodies and prolong their lives. Women can drink them to whiten their skin, be beautiful, and be as light as a swallow! How about it? Do you want some? This stuff can also help with pregnancy!"

Lilith glared at the clock with her beautiful eyes and snorted, "I don't believe in this mud you made! Who knows if drinking it will kill people!"

Seeing Lilith's refusal, Da Zhong didn't insist. He lowered his head and continued to fan the fire with a palm leaf, muttering, "It's fine if you don't like it. As long as Master Xiao trusts it, that's enough."

Da Zhong's words seemed to remind Lilith what the purpose of her visit today was.

Lilith rolled her eyes, looking at the many bottles and jars around her, and asked again: "Even if the effect is good, there is no need to make so many. When will we be able to finish it?"

"As I said, the ointment can be stored for a long time, so drink it slowly. Store it in a cool place, and it will be fine for five or six years."

Five or six years? Does that mean Grandpa can live at least five or six years?

Da Zhong noticed that Lilith had suddenly gone quiet, and he couldn't help but turn around to look over. Seeing Lilith's uncertain face, he asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

Looking up at the clock, Lilith smiled and said, "I'm fine. By the way, when can you give me the formula for Cocoa Hydrocarbon II? I've got everything ready and I'm just waiting for your recipe."

His eyes fell on the small, fluttering flames, and Da Zhong said nonchalantly, "Why rush? Even if you've finished it now, you still have to find a buyer. Instead of putting a huge amount of money on it, it's better to find a buyer first. Then we can refine as much as we want."

Lilith's lips curled slightly as she echoed Da Zhong, saying, "You're very thoughtful. I was the one who was anxious. But what if I don't find a buyer? And then you leave the Xiao family? Then all my efforts will be in vain."

"You can't be so useless that you can't find a buyer for such a long time?" Da Zhong glanced at Lilith casually and found that the woman was not angry, which was really strange.

Lilith had a hot temper. If anyone dared to say anything against her, she would definitely refute it fiercely. But now, she didn't react at all, which meant that she had something on her mind!

Considering the news that had leaked before, Da Zhong had to start to suspect Lilith.

Thinking of this, Da Zhong's face darkened and he stopped talking.

Lilith was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice the unusual movement of the clock. After a moment's reflection, she said, "Actually, I think we could try refining some cocoa hydrocarbon II first, see how it sells, and then decide how much to add later. You just said that refining this kind of thing would cost a lot of money, but if we don't do anything, won't we never gain any experience?"

What Lilith said made sense, and Da Zhong seemed to be moved by it. He stopped what he was doing and said, "This... let me think about it."

Seeing that Da Zhong's tone had softened, Lilith was greatly encouraged and said hurriedly, "What's there to think about? Opportunities are fleeting. If we don't seize them, we will lose everything!"

"So what if I missed it? Anyway, if you took Cocoa Carbon II, you would make some indecent things with it!" Da Zhong curled his lips, looking nonchalant.

Da Zhong's words made Lilith furious. Looking at that blocky head, she really wanted to kill him with a gun!

Taking a deep breath, Lilith repeatedly told herself the purpose of her visit today. After her breathing stabilized, she said gently, "You can't say that. The market determines production. If no one wants to buy, how can we sell? If there's anyone to blame, it's only those who couldn't resist the temptation. What does it have to do with us?"

Hearing this, Da Zhong sneered, thinking that this woman had forgotten that she was also one of those who could not resist temptation. What qualifications did she have to be complacent here?

When Lilith saw Da Zhong's mocking smile, the little flame in her heart began to rise, and her patience disappeared bit by bit.

Just as Lilith was considering whether to use force to force Da Zhong, Da Zhong took the small pot off the fire and placed it on the ground to cool. He then took the time to look at Lilith and said, "So the purpose of your visit today is to persuade me to start work this morning, right?"

"What's wrong with that? The sooner we start work, the sooner we can get our share of the money. It's beneficial to both parties."

"I think it's good for you," Da Zhong said casually as he carefully filtered the medicine. "What have you been thinking about lately? You're starting to feel uneasy. Money isn't the solution. I advise you not to focus all your energy on it. You need to rest well. Even if not for yourself, think about the children."

"I know my own business!" Lilith frowned and said, "Also, my body is mine, so you don't need to interfere!"

Putting the dregs of the medicine into a small bowl, Da Zhong said sarcastically, "Why, now isn't the time to beg me to help you check whether the baby is healthy? Oh, women are really fickle creatures."

Seeing the clock start to interrupt, Lilith knew that she would not be able to get anything out of this man today. But Lilith was unwilling to accept it. He was just a doctor, so was she really going to let him lead her around?

After thinking for a moment, Lilith said, "As long as you help me refine Cocoa Hydrocarbon II, I can help you and Xuan'er get out of the Xiao family! Have you forgotten our cooperation? We are allies, shouldn't we help each other?"

Da Zhong sneered inwardly, thinking to himself, this woman is so naive and ridiculous. Now she thinks that they are allies? I'm afraid she has betrayed me a long time ago. The reason she hasn't made a move to get rid of me until now is probably because of that Koko Hydrocarbon II!

The medicine had cooled down, and Da Zhong skillfully poured it into a porcelain jar. He said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, as long as you keep your promise, I will definitely do my duty. But you have to know that I'm not stupid. I helped count the money after being betrayed. So, I won't hand over the formula of cocoa hydrocarbon II until I am sure that Xuan'er and I are safe."

Seeing Da Zhong's as-is attitude, Lilith was furious. She stood up with a bang and pointed at Da Zhong, saying angrily, "I've already arranged everything. Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"
