Chapter 1317
"Well, you must leave home every once in a while." Lily smiled. "Try the tea."
Anastasia was okay to drink tea, but she only took a tiny sip. As she was about to put down the cup, she licked her lips thoughtfully and took another small sip. "It’s sweet?"
She did not look surprised but horrified, as if she had done something terrible. She immediately set the cup down, spilling some of the tea. "Did you add sugar? Why are you doing this to me?"
Lily observed Anastasia’s reaction in silence and said slowly, "I didn't add another sugar. The sweetness came from the tea leaves."
"How is that possible? How can tea be sweet by itself? Besides, I can't have anything sweet!" Anxious, Anastasia held her neck and wanted to throw up but could not as she only took two sips.
Lily poured a cup for herself and spoke after calmly drinking the tea, ‘This is ginseng oolong tea. Since it's naturally sweet, it could lower blood pressure and lipid levels. Also, it’s good for your body." I
Anastasia's eyes lit up after learning what the tea could do, and she looked less disturbed. "Is that true?" 4
"You've been so good to me by giving me agarwood and the lily of the valley. What do I get from lying to you?" Lily took a cloth, wiped the spilled tea, and refilled Anastasia’s cup. "Have some more."
Anastasia somehow trusted Lily. She put her worries to rest and held up the cup to drink, finishing the tea in two swigs. "It's delicious!" She reached out to grab the teapot. "I'd like more."
