Chapter 131: Chapter 131: The Ancestor is Very Cute
Breakfast was almost ready.
It was just that Xia Xin had been engrossed in conversation with Jiangli and forgot to heat the milk.
After Jiangli finished speaking, Xia Xin hurried to warm the milk.
Before long, breakfast was served at the dining table.
Uncertain of Jiangli’s tastes and fearing she might not be accustomed to milk sandwiches, he also prepared a Chinese-style breakfast.
He left her to choose.
Looking at the two breakfast options, Jiangli picked up a sandwich, puzzled, “Is this your current breakfast? Why does it look so strange, filling is all exposed.”
Xia Xin almost laughed out loud, “Ancestor, this isn’t a regular bun or steamed bun, this is called a sandwich, it’s from Western countries. Modern young people really like it. I thought since you haven’t eaten one before, I would make one for you to try and see if you’d like to taste something new.”
Upon hearing this, Jiangli said suspiciously, “Is this how Westerners eat their food? The vegetables still look raw, can they really be eaten?”
She tugged at the lettuce sandwiched within.
Xia Xin chuckled, “They can be eaten! I think the taste is quite good, Ancestor. You can try it. If you don’t like it, I still have the Chinese breakfast here.”
Jiangli gave him a look and, encouraged by Xia Xin’s coaxing, took a tentative bite.
She was dubious whether it was edible and dared not bite down hard.
But when she bit into it…
The taste was really good.
The texture was rich.
Jiangli exclaimed in surprise, “It’s actually not bad, quite good in fact.”
Xia Xin chuckled, “I told you it tastes alright. Ancestor, this is milk, the same as the old cow’s milk. I’ve warmed it up; have a taste.”
He passed her the cup of milk.
Jiangli took it, alternating between sips of milk and bites of the sandwich.
The taste was indeed not bad.
Although Jiangli might prefer a Chinese breakfast, she admitted that the Western breakfast was also palatable.
Trying something new occasionally was quite pleasant.
While Jiangli was eating, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside.
Xia Xin immediately reacted, “Could it be Director Fu and the others?”
Jiangli swallowed her food, saying, “Go and open the door.”
Xia Xin dashed outside.
As Jiangli continued eating, she waited for Xia Xin to bring in the guests.
When Xia Xin reached the door and opened it, the visitors turned out to be Fu Shiyan and Duan Jianchuan, along with Wen Zishu.
“Little Master, we meet again!” Wen Zishu waved excitedly.
Xia Xin bowed slightly, “Please come in, sirs, our Abbot is waiting for you inside.”
Fu Shiyan nodded slightly and stepped in.
Wen Zishu and Duan Jianchuan followed half a step behind.
It was apparent that both showed considerable respect towards Fu Shiyan.
Xia Xin found it strange; from their previous conversations, it seemed they were good brothers.
But did being good brothers require such a hierarchy?
Xia Xin couldn’t understand the thoughts of wealthy people. It wasn’t the time to ponder such things now, so he led the men to the side hall.
Jiangli was still eating her meal.
When the men entered, Jiangli heard the noise and just turned to look.
She was dressed in a white dress, fresh and refreshing, sitting there she truly resembled a little fairy.
Not only that, but there was also a ring of milk around her mouth.
One look and her eyes showed a faint puzzlement.
She seemed completely different from her usual self.
It was as if she were an innocent and cute youngster.
Fu Shiyan stopped at the entrance of the side hall.
His gaze fixed directly on Jiangli’s face.
“Abbot, how can you be so adorable?” Wen Zishu ran in at this moment, exclaiming excitedly, “Really so cute, Abbot, how old are you this year? You must be younger than me, right?”
