Lin Xingqing had just stepped through the doorway and hadn’t seen Fang Xia’s face clearly. This was the first time she saw Fang Xia. Fang Xia put down her book and looked up at Lin Xingqing slightly, like a confirmation or greeting.

Before this the only contact between the two was a phone call, but the current Fang Xia gave Ln Xingqing the feeling that they had been in contact for a long time.

“Lin Xingqing, I’m Fang Xia. You and I am a married couple and this is now your home. It’s not too early, first eat something.”

With those words, by the time Lin Xingqing politely turned down the maid who offered to take her things for her and returned to the room, Fang Xia had already sat at the table and there was a steady stream of dishes.

Just like in the previous phone call, Fang Xia was generous in expressing her strength.

***

“Miss, the dishes are ready. Please take your time.”

The servant left politely and Fang Xia and Lin Xingqing were the only two people left in the room.

At the front of the table and the end of the table, there were only two people eating, but there were more than ten dishes. The amazing and the simple, the sweet and the salty, of the ground and of the water, you could see the chef’s art in the various dishes on the table; they were full of color and fragrance.

But…

Lin Xingqing glanced at Fang Xia who was at the head of the table. She quickly dropped her eyes and sat in an upright position.

“I don’t know your taste, so I asked the chef to make something casually. Later, if you are home you can tell Mrs. Li what you like. She will hand down the instructions.

Lin Xingqing, it’s late. Don’t worry, eat.”

That was the longest speech Fang Xia said since she had came in. The words were as gentle as possible, but they still have a cold tone. Even if she lowered her head, Lin Xingqing could still feel the power of Fang Xia’s eyes. But her eyes quickly went back.

“Ok.”

Lin Xingqing responded with a low voice. Until now the hand hesitated on her knee, but now it moved, finally grasped the chopsticks, and ate slowly.

Different from the house where her father lived, where the table is small and they always had three simple dishes and one soup. The electric rice cooker was put on the table after the meal was cooked, and the two people who cooked also needed to get up and serve the food by themselves. Now, the dishes are cooked by the chef, the dishes are set by others, and even the rice in the bowl is served by others.

The rice ice is the best rice. Once eaten, it will feel clear and has the fragrance of rice. The food is also excellent, the shape is unique and the taste is good. Even the person sitting opposite ate elegantly.

The most appropriate sitting posture, the most elegant eating, even the food that originally had a rude style of being eaten was eaten in the same elegant style.

Knowing that she shouldn’t, after eating another bite, Lin Xingqing could not help but quietly aim her gaze and concentrate on Fang Xia.

Fang Xia’s appearance was not outstanding. The sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, the clean forehead without any bangs, the pale lips and the round face are beautiful. In terms of looks, Lin Xingqing’s looks were more vivid and three-dimensional than Fang Xia’s but compared with Lin Xingqing’s kind of self-awareness, Fang Xia’s looks are somewhat beautiful. When she looks at people quietly, she will not be ignored at all, she has her own aura.

At this moment, Fang Xia, who was eating quietly, wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and put the dishes and chopsticks down without any noise. With the elegant actions, the bowl had been eaten clean. On the contrary, Lin Xingqing had hardly touched the rice in her bowl.

Fang Xia quietly looked at Lin Xingqing. Lin Xingqing hadn’t figured out what to say yet and was still thinking, her eyes moved slightly down, sweeping the still full bowl, and her brows were slightly wrinkled. It was a small action, but it was quite frightening.

“Lin Xingqing, the food is not appetizing.”

It was undoubtedly a question, but it was said like a definite sentence.

“Still…”

Lin Xingqing had only just started to speak, but Fang Xia turned her head slightly and waved to the middle-aged woman who had been standing to the right: “Auntie Li, tell them to take the dishes and tell the cook to do it again.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Auntie Li is a middle-aged woman of about 40 years old with a gentle appearance. She looked at the meal that had hardly been touched. Listening to Fang Xia’s words, her expression did not change at all. She bent down respectfully and took a step back.

Fang Xia and Auntie Li were too calm. It seemed that they were normally so calm.

Because of their attitude, Lin Xingqing couldn’t sit back.

Lin Xingqing is not normally a mean person, but she and her father were close and depended on each other since her childhood. He had taught her to treasure what she has and avoid wasting.

“Aunty Li, no.

Almost instinctively, Lin Xinqing rose from her seat and started to speak, but the words fell flat. Looking at Auntie Li’s desire to keep going and Fang Xia’s gaze, Lin Xingqing’s body stiffened.

Ever since Lin Xingqing signed the couple’s contract, she told herself that no matter what the reason was, since Fang Xia is sovereign and hegemonic, she should never face her unless necessary.

But less than half an hour in, she refused Fang Xia’s decision.

Is that not slapping Fang Xia’s face.

Is that not a bad way to begin.

“Miss.”

Whether Lin Xingqing wanted to sit or not, she was stuck and didn’t know how to go about doing it. Auntie Li moved her line of sight and asked Fang Xia for further instruction.

Even if she knew she couldn’t have said that, the words have already been said and she can’t give up halfway.

Lin Xingqing bit her lips and slowly sat down, trying not to let her eyes move away. She picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of rice into her mouth, then casually put some vegetables in front of her. Even if the rice was fragrant and the dishes were delicious, Lin Xingqing couldn’t taste anything but she tried to swallow them in a delicious manner.

“Fang Xia, the food is delicious. I really like it.”

So it doesn’t have to be replaced.

Lin Xingqing hesitated on saying that last sentence and even though she didn’t finish, it was obvious that both Auntie Li and Fang Xia understood.

Auntie Li maintained her original position, but her eyes were like a small building, thoughtfully cast. Even though it was quickly retracted, the gaze had an inexplicable meaning. (1)

Fang Xia looked at Lin Xingqing with a deep gaze, Lin Xingqing could hardly control herself from avoiding that gaze.

“Auntie Li, since Lin Xingqing likes it, wait until the meal is finished to continue.”

“Yes.”

After that brief conversation, Auntie Li quietly retreated and the room was quiet once again.

Even if this was the result she wanted. Lin Xingqing couldn’t help but be stunned.

Even though this was a very small matter, to her shallow understanding, didn’t Fang Xia compromise too quickly?

There is no answer to such a question.

“Lin Xingqing, eat more if you like.”

“Un.”

After LinXingqing’s subconscious response, she didn’t think of anything else.

Although Fang Xia is quiet and does interrupt, she just sits quietly in her seat. She seemed to be taking note of how much Lin Xingqing can eat.

Lin Xingqing thought it was a difficult meal.

The author has something to say:

Lala, I say the food is delicious and I also want to eat until I’m kneeling and full, hahaha~

ps: Hangzhou was 35 degrees today, hot dog!

Translator’s Note:

(1) The original line says :李嫂依旧保持着原有的姿势，但那目光像是不云`裳`小`筑经意的投来，虽然极快的又收了回去，但那目光带着一种说不出的意味。I honestly am so confused about the “但那目光像是不云`裳`小`筑经意的投来” so if anybody has any ideas about what this means please leave a comment.
