Xie Zhinuan didn't even realize she treated Li Hengyi differently.
At least it was a big difference compared to how she treated other people.
While Li Hengyi was talking with Xie Yi and Qin Mao in the yard, he didn't know that Qin Mao had joined Xie Zhinuan's company.
Qin Mao was very gentle and knew his manners well, he was clever and sensible in both speech and actions.
Dugu Zhen and his brother, Dugu Hong, also had a rare moment of leisure and sat to one side, sizing up Li Hengyi.
The youngster looked quite fine, and he was okay with Xie Yi and Qin Mao, though he didn't overexert himself in showing it, but one could see that he was sincere.
When Xie Zhinuan had Sha Ni carry over the watermelon, everyone's eyes lit up.
Yuanbao knew he wouldn't get a piece, but he didn't expect that Xie Yi would give him one.
"Aiyo!"
He was not at all courteous, not even pretending to be, and joyfully said, "Thank you, young master!"
After taking the watermelon, he enjoyed it bite by bite.
