Xie Jingrun took a bite of food, then looked down at the mountain of rice in his bowl and frowned. "Rong Qingqing, do you even know how to serve rice?"
"What's wrong?" Rong Qingqing asked, biting her chopsticks as she looked at the bowl in front of him.
"Who can eat that much? You think..." Xie Jingrun suddenly stopped talking.
Rong Qingqing suppressed a laugh. Was this guy just about to say that it was for feeding pigs?
Haha, she did have that idea, so at least this guy has some self-awareness.
She was secretly laughing her head off, but pretended not to notice anything. She reached out, took the bowl in front of him, and used her chopsticks to put half of it into her own bowl.
"I thought you could handle it, after all, you're a man, and you're busy with court affairs, it must be tough. Is this alright?"
"Hmm." Xie Jingrun looked at the bowl, which was now half empty, and was slightly more satisfied. He picked it up and continued eating.
Rong Qingqing sat down again and put some food into her bowl.
After taking a bite of food, he suddenly remembered something and quietly glanced at Xie Jingrun.
Seeing that he was completely unaware and was eating his meal with elegant manners, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, this guy didn't notice, otherwise he would have chopped her up.
The chopsticks she used to serve the rice were bitten by her and were covered in her saliva...
She forgot to replace them with clean chopsticks.
Thinking of this, she quietly swallowed, feeling her head on her neck becoming somewhat unsteady.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xie Jingrun caught her furrowing his brow and stared at her with some hostility.
Rong Qingqing was startled and blurted out, "You have rice grains on your face."
Xie Jingrun's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you." Rong Qingqing forced herself to continue, "If you don't believe me, come closer and I'll help you get it off."
Xie Jingrun immediately felt uncomfortable. There were grains of rice on his face, how could that be? But this woman was so certain of it…
Just as I was wondering what was going on, a pale white hand reached out in front of me.
He narrowed his eyes, and with lightning speed, seized the hand in an instant. "Rong Qingqing, do you want to die?"
"No, I just saw some rice grains on your face and wanted to wipe them off for you." Rong Qingqing winced in pain. Damn wolf cub, why did you hit so hard?
Her hand is about to break...
Xie Jingrun pushed her away, staring at her with hostility. "Rong Qingqing, put away your wicked thoughts, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Rong Qingqing took two steps back before regaining her balance. Realizing the meaning behind his words, she stared in astonishment.
This guy actually thought she... was trying to seduce him?
Does he have delusions?
"My lord, have you misunderstood me? I am upright, honest, and aboveboard; I truly treat you like a child..."
Before he could even utter the word "zi," he met Xie Jingrun's cold, piercing eyes.
She swallowed hard. "...Anyway, it's not what you think."
Xie Jingrun withdrew his gaze. "That would be best, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, don't worry, my intentions are perfectly pure, I would never have any improper thoughts about you, Lord Marquis," she nodded in assurance. Inwardly, however, she thought to herself, "This guy is not only ruthless, but also a narcissist!"
She must be crazy to want to be interested in him.
After the meal, Rong Qingqing took out a box and pushed it to his side, saying, "This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Your Excellency."
Xie Jingrun glanced at her and opened the box.
He glanced at her with some surprise when he saw the ten gold ingots in the box.
