Chapter Twenty-One: Only Two Bite-Through
"Me? I...I'm afraid I can't."
Shen Ruolan's eyes darted around, as if she was hesitating about something.
Yuan Siyin appeared serious on the surface, but in reality, she was already laughing so hard her eyes were practically squinting.
Getting the hang of it.
Isn't that what's happening?
"What's wrong with that? If you don't want to associate with me, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush and try to fool me."
As she spoke, Yuan Siyin angrily put down the silver and got up to leave. Shen Ruolan panicked and quickly grabbed her, saying, "I'll go, I'll go!"
My elder sister has invited me, a mere concubine's daughter, to the palace for my coming-of-age ceremony, and I am naturally overjoyed. However, I fear my family will not approve, which puts me in a difficult position.
"What's the big deal? Invitations are delivered to their door; how could they possibly refuse?"
Seeing that she had agreed, Yuan Siyin naturally returned and sat down in peace.
Thank goodness, she was really worried that Shen Ruolan hadn't been swayed by her.
Otherwise, if she just leaves, wouldn't all that food have been wasted?
After the dishes were served, Yuan Siyin devoured them in a whirlwind, leaving Shen Ruolan dumbfounded as she held her chopsticks.
I only eat two bites of each dish.
Shen Ruolan could only watch with great difficulty, and could only get up and hurriedly say goodbye after a few words.
Yuan Siyin wiped the grease from her mouth, and while still holding the chicken leg, she waved enthusiastically to her: "Won't you eat some more?"
Okay then, I won't see you off!
Once Shen Ruolan's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Yuan Siyin finally put down her chicken leg, patted her round belly, and let out a satisfied burp.
She's finally gone; otherwise, she would have burst from overeating.
To cultivate an image of herself as someone who spends money like water, or rather, someone who's foolishly rich, was it easy for her?!
"Waiter, don't bother bringing the rest of the dishes, just pack them up."
She left a silver ingot on the table and waited calmly for the waiter to bring out the food box before leading Taxue back to the Yuan residence.
When the gatekeeper saw her return, he hurriedly grabbed the beast-faced tin ring, pushed open the door, and welcomed her in. Meanwhile, Ta Xue was led back to the stable by another person.
The mansion was very lively; as soon as you entered, you could hear laughter that could shake the house for half a day.
"Haha, really? I want to hear more, I want to hear more! Brother Fang Ming, please tell me more! I never hear this kind of thing in school!"
Yuan Siyin kept walking and followed the sound of laughter. She saw Yuan Fuqing perched on Si Fangming's shoulder in the courtyard, watching him skillfully weave foxtail grass.
"Yuan Fuqing! Instead of going to the private school at this time, you're slacking off at home!"
The next second, Yuan Fuqing was lifted up by Yuan Siyin like a chick.
"Ah... Sister, why are you back, Sister?"
Children are prone to wearing their guilty conscience on their faces; his eyes kept darting around as he tried to ask Si Fangming for help.
Si Fangming chuckled, but didn't look up; he simply quickened the pace of his work.
"Still dare to seek off-field assistance?"
Yuan Siyin put him down and rubbed his soft, delicate face with both hands: "I caught you red-handed today, didn't I? I even brought you your favorite Four Happiness Meatballs from Juxianlou!"
Just as Yuan Fuqing was about to protest, upon hearing the words "Four Happiness Meatballs," she immediately began to whine sweetly, her eyes watering: "Aqing knows she was wrong, please forgive Aqing this time, elder sister!"
As he spoke, he obediently leaned his face closer, letting Yuan Siyin knead and shape it as she pleased.
"Alright, alright, stop trying to fool me here." She waved her hand impatiently.
The main thing is that you can actually pass the test.
"After you finish eating, go apologize to your teacher, study hard, and you'll have more to eat when you get back tonight."
