Gu Mochen’s dark eyes flickered slightly, and as he turned around, he saw Jian Ran’s appeasing, beautiful eyes.
The wrath that had settled in his heart dissipated a bit, and then he raised his hand to gently rub Jian Ran’s cheek.
Seeing this, Jian Ran let out a slight sigh of relief, and then she glared fiercely at Qin Mu.
The one who usually behaved so irreverently in front of her, now in front of the old man and Gu Mochen, should definitely tone it down a bit.
It really would be uncontrollable.
Old Master Qin could see that Jian Ran was intentionally trying to break the ice, and the tense string in his heart relaxed slightly.
Gu, please eat more.”
“Okay, thank you, Old Master.”
Gu Mochen’s gaze fell on the lion’s head meatball in his bowl, and his brow furrowed slightly.
He didn’t like meatballs.
Really didn’t know how to serve dishes.
Although he didn’t like it.
But since it was the first time Jian Ran had served him a dish, Gu Mochen furrowed his brows and picked it up, opening his thin lips slightly and eating it all in small bites.
Jian Ran’s peripheral vision had been sneakily observing Gu Mochen because, to be frank, although she had made delicious food for Gu Mochen for many days, she truly didn’t know what the man liked.
Watching the man frowning and eating the lion’s head meatball she served him in small bites, Jian Ran was utterly baffled.
Did he actually like it, or not?
Considering Gu Mochen’s arrogant nature, if he finished it, then he must like it, right?
If he didn’t like it, wouldn’t he not even glance at it and directly give her a cold look?
Thinking this way, Jian Ran squeezed out a smile on her lips and hurriedly picked another meatball into Gu Mochen’s bowl with her chopsticks.
“Mo Chen, if you like it, eat more,” she said.
Was Jian Ran doing this on purpose?
Gu Mochen’s gaze fell on her small face, which was as big as a palm, visibly aiming to please.
She hoped he would calm down and not take it out on Qin Mu.
Who told her he liked lion’s head meatballs?
Their gazes met in the air, Jian Ran slightly apprehensive, yet her smile was bright.
Well, he finished it…
She must have thought he liked it, so she served another, probably thinking he would enjoy it, right?
Wasn’t he supposed to praise her now?
And then not hold a grudge against Qin Mu?
With such thoughts, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes sparkled…
quite brightly indeed.
Gu Mochen was defeated, his thin lips pursed, his brow furrowing once again.
Jian Ran breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “Hmm, if you like it, I’ll make it for you at noon…”
Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, Gu Mochen felt somewhat disordered.
Qin Mu, watching Jian Ran’s efforts to please Gu Mochen although he knew it was for himself, couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable, his lips pressed together.
“Ran girl, it’s a matter between men, don’t get involved,” he said.
“Shut up and eat your food.”
After Jian Ran spoke those words, she realized she had been too blunt, and felt somewhat embarrassed.
At the dining table, Old Master Qin, along with Qin’s father and mother, all looked at her thoughtfully.
Qin the Third, we should not speak while eating.”
