My Secretary is a Little Sweet - Chapter 279

Chapter 279: The Treasured Medicinal Wine

Jing Zhongxiu arrived soon. He came late, because he had visited Family Mu on the way.

He gave two bottles of golden color wine to Jing Yichen and then spoke with a rarely-seen smile on his formidable face. “I robbed Old Mu of this, one for each of you. Drink when you get home. One spoonful at one time will do. Don’t waste even one drop and don’t share it with anyone else.”

He used the word “rob”, which startled Jing Yichen.

Jing Zhongxiu, who had properties of hundreds of billions of yuan, still needed to rob anyone of anything?

Jing Yichen found it amusing. But he controlled it and asked as he took the bottle, “Treasured?” So treasured that Jing Zhongxiu, who didn’t care much about the coal mines worth billions, would want to rob another person of the bottle?

He had also stressed that the bottles were not for anyone else. That didn’t seem to be Jing Zhongxiu’s style. He had always stuck to his life motto of sharing and giving.

Jing Zhongxiu nodded and said happily, “Highly treasured. Old Mu calls it “immortal medicine”, excellent for keeping fit. He has been drinking this wine and has almost no grey hair.”

Shangguan Ning and Huang Lihan also heard what he said. So they came closer, curiously.

Shangguan Ning got enchanted by the color of the wine after she looked at it. “So beautiful, just like flowing gold. I have never seen this kind of wine before!”

The golden liquid shone brightly inside the transparent wine bottle and it was glowing like thin golden sand rather than liquor.

Huang Lihan also praised it. “It looks like something extraordinary. Jing, seems that you have got a really good thing!”

Jing Zhongxiu patted his old friend on shoulders and said smilingly, “It is indeed a good thing. You can’t buy this wine with money, so I had to rob him of this treasure. Old Mu spent more than twenty years in collecting the ingredients and went through repeated experiments and managed to make only six bottles in the past two decades. He drank up two and two were given to your grandparents. That’s how I ended up getting two. Even Mu Qing hasn’t got one bottle. He must be blaming me at this moment at home, haha!”

Jing Zhongxiu couldn’t help but laugh as he thought of how Mu Wensheng got annoyed when he took away these two bottles.

He had offered to pay for the bottles, but Old Mu disapproved of the proposal. So he had to become a thief.

Shangguan Ning, Huang Lihan and Jing Yichen laughed. Old Mu must have regarded this as something so treasured that he didn’t even spare one to his own grandson. It must have been very precious.

Doctor Mu was an excellent doctor and had been honored as “a legendary doctor”, decades ago. He had achieved so much and brewed the medical wine that could prolong lifespan. He himself had claimed that he will live upto 150 years and will look like he was in his 50s instead!

Jing Yichen shook his head and his smile widened. This medical wine was so precious that only four bottles were left in the world. Old Mu had got only six bottles and Jing Zhongxiu and Jing Tianyuan had got the four remaining ones. He must be feeling terrible at the moment.

Shangguan Ning said all of a sudden as she held the glowing liquor in hands. “Dad, Yichen and I are still young, what about you and Uncle taking one each?”

Jing Yichen looked at his wife in pride. She was filial and not greedy at all. Man, she was exactly what Jing Yichen’s woman should be like!

Jing Zhongxiu also felt quite gratified to hear what she said. But he had gotten the bottles for his children and it didn’t matter if he and Huang Lihan got to drink any.

“Ning, it is okay! Just do as what father says. This liquor is very good for girls’ health and you can even drink it even when you are pregnant. That is what Grandpa Mu said. He kept saying how excellent the wine is and that pregnant women benefit most, because it can help the baby to grow properly and stay healthy. Grandpa Mu said that the wine stops any invasion from happening and people can get really healthy after drinking it.”

Jing Zhongxiu would not have tried to rob the wine if Mu Wensheng hadn’t shown off. Hearing that it was going to be good for the pregnant women, he wanted nothing more than to give it to Shangguan Ning.

Shangguan Ning finally understood that Jing Zhongxiu had got the bottles for her sake.

Deeply moved, her eyes filled with tears. With a smile on her face, she said, “Then Yichen and I will share one bottle and you can share one with Uncle. One bottle lasts for a long time!”

Jing Zhongxiu shook his head and patted Shangguan Ning’s shoulders as he said, “I am happy that you are so considerate. You can take these two bottles and you must start drinking from today. They will last until the day you give birth to my little grandson. Haha, do you think my grandson will run as soon as he is born?”

Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen were speechless. A calm man like Jing Zhongxiu could also be so childish.

A child wouldn’t run when he was just born, honestly, he was not a deity! This was wine, not some genetic transformation.

The couple were not aware now but soon they would realize that Mu Wensheng’s secret prescription of hundreds of years and the wine brewed for decades would be very magical, more magical than they could imagine.

Shangguan Ning had wanted to turn him down, but Jing Zhongxiu said, “Don’t worry about us. Grandpa Mu has many other medical wines for us, some relatively newer ones, like aged for five or six years. After all, a good wine needs time and treasured medical ingredients and they have to be natural and unpolluted. Grandpa is almost 80 years old and he is fitter than I am! I won’t visit him in the next few days because he is probably going to punch me. I will ask him for other medical wine bottles when he is less annoyed. Then your Uncle and I will check out how good his medical wine can be.”

Shangguan Ning felt both moved and guilty, but Jing Yichen said lightly, “Just accept it when Dad offers. He has never taken back whatever he has given. What we need to do is to give birth to a baby as soon as possible!”

Annoyed and bashful, Shangguan Ning glared at him. “Shut up and no talking!”

Jing Yichen turned to look at Huang Lihan innocently. “See, Uncle, I have no position at home. You can be totally assured now, because I am not allowed to bully her at home!”

Huang Lihan laughed. “It is okay, come to me if Ning bullies you. Come, let’s sit down and eat. The chef has prepared delicious food today. Ning, open the red wine which you brought, and we will drink till we get satiated!”
