Lou Xinyu was the first to notice that Xing Chen was always paying attention to Ran Xiangsi.
All onlookers see clearly. Lou Xinyu, who has always been an outsider, when she saw the indulgent and gentle look in Xing Chen’s eyes as he looked at Ran Xiangsi...
It was like thousands of little claws scratching at her heart; she hated it!
All of this should have belonged to her.
She and Xing Chen were childhood friends. If it weren’t for Ran Xiangsi appearing out of nowhere, Xing Chen would love her!
Gritting her teeth hard, Lou Xinyu tightened her grip on the fork.
Lou Xining sat beside her, watching his sister blinded by jealousy, and could only sigh helplessly.
What about Xing Chen and Ran Xiangsi, the two main characters? Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet
Ran Xiangsi was cutting the beef on her plate. Even though she didn’t lift her head, she could sense the gaze from Xing Chen beside her.
Initially, she wanted to stay angry and silent, but Ran Xiangsi couldn’t hold back.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Finally hearing her speak, Xing Chen’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed a bit, and his tone became more concerned. "Does it suit your taste?"
Seeing her eating well, it seemed she was quite satisfied with tonight’s meal.
"It’s okay. I haven’t had Lansi Country cuisine for a long time, kind of miss it," Ran Xiangsi replied lightly. After she finished, she carefully placed the knife and fork, and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
When eating out with Chu Xiaoge and others, she wasn’t bound by such rules. If hungry, she would eat without restraint!
However... since it was a formal dinner, she had to exhibit proper dining etiquette.
She had spent such a long time in Lansi Country, there’s no way she wouldn’t know these basics.
Listening to Ran Xiangsi, Xing Chen paused. He suddenly remembered that Ran Xiangsi had grown up in Lansi Country, so eating Lansi Country cuisine shouldn’t be difficult for her.
Thinking about it, Xing Chen looked past Ran Xiangsi at Xiahou Xiu Yun.
Xiahou Xiu Yun had overheard the conversation between her son and daughter-in-law. Seeing her son looking her way, she winked at him.
Xiahou Xiu Yun was the one who saw that Ran Xiangsi knew Lansi Country language from her computer, and knew she had lived there. That’s why when Lou Xining asked her what she wanted to eat, she mentioned she liked Lansi Country cuisine.
Everything was arranged to make it convenient for Ran Xiangsi. Unexpectedly, it embarrassed Lou Xinyu along the way, quite a clever move!
Xing Chen immediately understood, and with a slight smile, he withdrew his gaze.
His mother liking Xiangsi so much was indeed a surprise to him.
After dinner, Ran Xiangsi went to the restroom.
No sooner had she stepped inside, Lou Xinyu followed.
At the dinner table, Ran Xiangsi had been the center of attention, with everyone praising her elegance and manners.
Lou Xinyu, however, was mercilessly mocked...
Such polar opposite treatment, Lou Xinyu couldn’t swallow the bitterness.
So she kept silently observing Ran Xiangsi. Seeing her enter the restroom, she immediately followed.
When Ran Xiangsi turned on the faucet, she looked up at the mirror in front of her.
In the mirror, she could see Lou Xinyu walking in from the entrance.
"Ran Xiangsi, don’t be complacent! Did you practice these manners? Hmph, even so, it can’t hide your humble background!"
Unable to hold back, Lou Xinyu began shouting angrily.
