C18 We Have Always Been on Good Terms with Each Other (1/2)

”You're here. Alright, let's start the meal then.”

With the Old Master's order, everyone who was sitting upright became lively. According to the experience of the past few days, the aunt of the clan had wanted to ask about Xia Jinsheng's engagement ceremony, but Ling Qiaoqiao's arrival was completely different.

You can't use a foreign language when your family is ugly, right?

Speaking from a certain point of view, Xia Jinsheng was actually a little thankful to her for unknowingly helping him get out of this predicament. But at the same time, she knew that Ling Qiaoqiao had come with ill intentions. She had come simply for the marriage with Gu Nanchen.

But Gu Nanchen who was seated beside her was still gracefully eating his vegetables, with nothing to do with him.

Xia Jinsheng was playful, she lowered her voice and whispered into Gu Nanchen's ears.

”second uncle, what do you think about Ling Qiaoqiao being my second aunt?”

Gu Nanchen glanced at her indifferently, then raised his hand and placed a bitter melon into Xia Jinsheng's bowl. He replied softly, ”You are willing to part with it?”

She could not speak. It was as if she had swallowed a disgusting fly.

”second uncle, I won't eat bitter melon.”

Xia Jinsheng's face was drained of colour. She rarely picked for food, but she would be extremely picky when it came to things related to bitter melon.

”I know.” It was because he knew that he needed to punish this heartless little thing.

After he finished speaking, he picked up another set of bitter melon and placed it into Jin Sheng's bowl. As expected, Xia Jinsheng's face turned even uglier.

Her dejected little face made Gu Nanchen's mood improve, but this did not mean that he would let go of Xia Jinsheng, ”Quickly eat, do not be picky about food, otherwise …”

Otherwise?

She smiled and asked, ”What if I don't? second uncle, why do you love me so much? You can't possibly make me eat a bitter gourd at once … ”

She covered her mouth in panic and almost dug a hole for herself to jump into. Right now, she wanted to find a needle to sew her mouth shut.

A hint of a smile flashed through Gu Nanchen's eyes. It was so laughable that it was almost like a strange laugh that came from the eighteen levels of hell.

”second uncle.” Xia Jinsheng miserably yelled out, with a tone that revealed that she didn't even realize she was acting coquettishly.
