223 What Do You Like to Eat? I’ll Give You One
Seeing this, Gu Qingxue felt helpless. Just as she was about to move her chopsticks, she saw Rong Han stand up and give Nine a hard-to-chew piece, then put it into his bowl.
There was also a large piece of scallion skin stuck on the meat, which fell into Nine’s bowl.
Seeing Nine raise his head in dissatisfaction, Rong Zhan said indifferently, “Young Master, your legs are inconvenient. If there’s anything you need, you can ask me for help.”
Having said that, Rong Zhan picked up a piece of the chicken wing and put it into Gu Qingxue’s bowl naturally. “It’s a return gift for you.”
Nine gritted his teeth, picked up a large piece of green pepper stir-fried meat, and put it into Rong Zhan’s bowl. “Young Master, don’t stand on ceremony. Just treat this place as if it’s your own home.”
Rong Zhan transferred the chili into Gu Qingxue’s bowl. “You know, I don’t like spicy and stimulating food.”
“Sorry, Uncle Nine. My father never eats food from outsiders. Please don’t mind,” Rong Han quickly explained.
Nine fell silent.
It was because he saw with his own eyes that Rong Zhan picked up the rib given to him by Gu Qingxue and started to eat.
This was called ‘never eating food from outsiders’.
This man had never treated Miss Gu as an outsider from the very beginning.
Nanny Sheng felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly came out to smooth things over. “Old Madam, what do you like to eat? I’ll pick it up for you.”
“I want Xue’er to get me the soup. Xue’er doesn’t even like me anymore. She doesn’t even help me with the rice,” Madam Qi said with her eyes drooping down in disappointment.
Gu Qingxue was amused by the old and childish Madam Qi. She hurriedly served her the soup, but Madam Qi refused to drink it out of spite.
“Grandmother, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have ignored you. Tomorrow, I’ll make you the thousand-thread hibiscus cake that you like. Don’t you want to eat it?” Gu Qingxue persuaded patiently, as she spoke, she picked up a small bowl and brought the spoon to Madam Qi’s lips.
Madam Qi’s heart was immediately moved. She lowered her voice and asked, “Then can I eat two plates? Just two plates.”
“Yes, but you have to eat them separately for breakfast and dinner. Otherwise, your stomach won’t digest it properly if you eat them. Nanny Sheng told me that if you don’t listen to me, you won’t be able to eat them in the future.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she fed Madam Qi a mouthful of soup.
Madam Qi quickly drank it and did not forget to remind Nanny Sheng, “You’re not allowed to talk nonsense.”
“I won’t talk nonsense if the old madam doesn’t. Young Miss, let me do it.” Nanny Sheng took the bowl from Gu Qingxue and continued to feed Madam Qi soup with a smile.
Rong Zhan could not help but pay attention to Madam Qi as she talked and ate like a playful child.
He had long heard of Madam Qi. It was rumored that Madam Qi had serious dementia. She did not even know the nanny who served them all year round, let alone speak clearly. If there was no one to feed her, she would not be able to eat a single drop of water.
However, looking at Madam Qi’s condition now, it was obvious that they were much better than before.
Although Madam Qi’s behavior was still like that of a child, she already had her own ability to think. Furthermore, she could realize what she wanted and what she did not want, and accurately express her own thoughts.
From this, it could be seen that there must be a reason behind this.
Rong Zhan silently observed this scene and did not say anything.
After dinner, Rong Han and the three children finished a ball, completely forgetting that he still had a biological father waiting for him.
Rong Han did not cooperate, and Rong Zhan did not have the time to stay any longer. He took the initiative to leave the courtyard house and went to the house next door.
Nine kept staring at Rong Zhan until he left. Only then did he clearly heave a sigh of relief.
