Dinner was served on a table laden with delicious dishes.

Helian Si held the chopsticks that belonged exclusively to her five-year-old daughter. Her rosy little face and her grape-like, moist eyes...

Staring longingly at the enticing aroma of the angelica and goji berry stewed chicken soup on the table, she secretly swallowed her saliva.

On that little forehead, it was practically as if the words "I can't wait" were written in big, blatant characters:

Aww, Sister Yue'er, Sister Yue'er, quickly give Sisi a big chicken leg to eat, and some fragrant chicken soup too!

That adorable little glutton's expression made Consort Lian smile, and she reached out to personally ladle a bowl of rich, fragrant chicken soup for the girl.

But before he could make a move, a pair of slender, slightly pale hands picked up the white porcelain spoon first.

Even the chicken leg that the little girl had been eyeing for so long was scooped away by the owner of that hand.

"Clatter".

It's the sound of a little girl's heart breaking, sob, it's happening again...

The little girl, who had been looking at me with a longing expression like a hungry cat, suddenly scrunched up her rosy cheeks into a wrinkled, green little bitter gourd.

Her grape-like, watery eyes glared angrily at Helian Ci, who was sitting opposite her, a look that was both fierce and adorable.

That second prince by Daming Lake is so annoying! That chicken leg, that chicken leg... he's already made a solemn vow with Sisi!

It has to be the kind of thing that goes straight into Sisi's belly, the kind that says, "Until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, I will never part from Sisi's belly."

Second Brother is simply the kind of wicked stepmother and old witch who specializes in breaking up lovers, humph!

Waaaaah, poor little cutie and delicious chicken leg, this pair of star-crossed lovers, who have pledged their lives to each other, oops, I mean, are a pair of star-crossed lovers!

Just as the little girl was fuming and feeling resentful about the big chicken leg she had been eyeing, the chicken soup that had been in Helian Ci's hands that night...

He appeared before the little girl in the blink of an eye, his slightly hoarse voice, tinged with an unnatural calmness, ringing out.

"Eat."

Helian Si's grape-like, moist eyes fell on the fragrant chicken soup with a large chicken leg in front of him, and he blinked.

She blinked again, then raised her little head to look at Helian Ci, who was sitting opposite her, pretending nothing was wrong.

After confirming that the happiness before her was real, the little girl's mouth opened into an "o" shape, and her grape-like, watery eyes were filled with disbelief.

Oh my god, my second brother by Daming Lake gave me the big chicken leg!

"Second brother, is that big chicken leg really for Sisi?"

The little girl bit her chopsticks, looked down at the big chicken leg in the bowl, then looked up timidly at Helian Ci, who was pretending to be nonchalant, and asked cautiously.

Meeting the little girl's timid gaze, Helian Ci's dark eyes, as deep as a still pool, darkened.

Her long, pale fingers twitched slightly, and a wave of regret washed over her. She shouldn't have scared the little coward like that.

She gave a soft "hmm," then lowered her long, slender eyes and quietly began eating the food in her bowl, secretly wondering how she could make this little coward stop being afraid of her in the future.

Receiving an affirmative answer, the little girl was delighted. She looked away from her gaze and at the large chicken leg in her bowl, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

He didn't even bother with his chopsticks, putting them on the table. Then, with his short little hands, he picked up the big chicken leg and brought it to his mouth.

With a quick open mouth, she took a big bite, exclaiming, "Wow!" "Mmm, so delicious!"
