Chapter 155 - His right side. (2/2)
The smell was so intriguing that she can't wait.
A servant came to her and placed a bowl of noodles in front of her. Aside from noodles, it has fresh veggies and meat.
The smell was to die for.
But the portion of noodles was very small for her.
She furrowed her brows.
She noticed that Ji Cheng's portion was bigger than hers whereas all the ladies were having small portions.
' What kind of arrangement is this?'
She looked at the servant and said, ” What is this? Why the portion is so small? Bring me a bigger bowl.” she said with an annoyed voice.
All the women like to eat in small portions as they believe that it was not good for them to eat large portions, as it will make them look like a glutton.
These kinds of things, they were doing from their childhood because this is what they were taught.
In their teaching of becoming a good wife, they were taught to not eat large portions in front of others or your husband. As it will make you look like a glutton and it will be hard to maintain your perfect image.
Zhao Ming found it ridiculous and ordered a large bowl of noodles.
Everyone looked at her and Wen Xu also furrowed at her behavior.
Xiao Li looked at her with mockery and said, ” Sister, what are you doing? It's not right for you to eat so much. A lady should not eat like this, it's not proper.”
Wen Xu said, ” Xiao Li, don't teach her anything. These kinds of people cannot understand what is proper or what is not.” she said in an annoyed tone.
Zhao Ming got irritated due to their behavior. She never seen someone saying that eating to your fill is improper.
Before she could say anything, Ji Cheng pushed his bowl to her and said,” Eat this. I haven't touched it yet.”
Then he took her small portion of noodles and placed them in front of him.
Everyone was stunned at his actions.
Wen Xu looked at him and shouted, ” Ji Cheng, what are you doing? How can you take her small bowl and why does she need to eat so much? ”
Ji Cheng looked at his mother and said, ” It was me who wanted to eat less. It's none of your problems. So please don't meddle with my affairs.”
Wen Xu stared at her son in disbelief.
Before this, he never talked to her this way. He told her not to meddle with his affairs?
She felt embarrassed. She glared at Zhao Ming and grunted in dissatisfaction.
Zhao Ming was also surprised when Ji Cheng exchanged their bowls. She never expected that he would do something like this.
It was when she felt her heart skipping a beat. She felt that everything around them was in slow motion.
But suddenly she jolted back at her absurd thinking, and thought, ' What stupid thoughts I was having. Focus Xie Ming. Focus. You cannot be fascinated by his handsome face and body.'
' At least have some integrity.' she scolded herself inwardly.
But she can't help but steal glances at him.
