Chapter 399 Eating

Xiao Xixi's eyes suddenly fixed on the moment when Zhao Shuoer hugged Qin Qixuan tightly, and the surprise on her face was like the surface of a lake blown by the spring breeze, and ripples appeared in an instant.

She quickly covered her eyes with her little hands, as if she wanted to avoid this stimulating scene from impacting her little heart too strongly.

However, the curious little fingers secretly opened a gap, like a cat peeking, trying to peek at what the two were doing.

However, this sudden "hug" did not last too long, and Qin Qixuan quickly pushed Zhao Shuoer away, with a bit of alienation and seriousness on his face.

"Princess, please respect yourself!" Although his voice was low, it was full of unquestionable firmness.

Zhao Shuo'er curled her lips, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Qin Qixuan's lack of understanding of romance. Her bright eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about the next move.

At this moment, Qin Qixuan suddenly thought of Xiao Xixi and Xiao Si, and he secretly thanked himself for bringing them here. So he quickly pulled the two of them to his side as his shield.

"Xixi, Xiao Si, why don't you say hello to the princess." There was a sense of alienation in his voice.

Zhao Shuo'er seemed to have just noticed their presence at this moment. She was slightly stunned, and then she returned to her gentle smile. She nodded gently and expressed a friendly greeting to them.

Xixi and Xiaosi also responded to Zhao Shuoer's greetings obediently, but Xixi's heart was like a turmoil. While responding to Zhao Shuoer's greetings, she was madly complaining in her heart.

[Xixi just came to eat some melons, how did she suddenly get involved in this storm? Xixi doesn't want to be a shield! ]

Little Xixi's heart was full of helplessness and complaints, but she still kept a well-behaved smile on her face.

Zhao Shuoer didn't give them any cold looks, but instead warmly invited them to sit down.

"Come and sit here, don't stand."

After arranging seats for Xixi and Xiaosi, she took out the menu and pushed it to Qin Qixuan with a smile, then she smiled like a flower and said sweetly.

"Brother Qixuan, you order the dishes. I'll treat you today!"

Qin Qixuan's brows twisted like a knot when he heard this. He didn't come here to have a big meal, but to discuss serious matters.

He didn't want to deal with Zhao Shuoer too much when he came here. He just wanted to talk about things as soon as he came, and he had no plans to eat.

He waved his hand and said bluntly.

"Princess, we are here to discuss serious matters this time. Let's not let you spend money."

When Zhao Shuoer heard this, the smile on his face faded a little. But she was also a person who had seen the world, and she quickly adjusted her mood and insisted that Qin Qixuan order the dishes.

Just when the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Xiao Xixi suddenly jumped out. She grabbed the menu and babbled a few names of dishes with a smug smile on her face. Xiao Si understood, and seeing the look Xixi cast at her, she instantly understood why Xixi was making such a face, and hurriedly told Zhao Shuoer about the other dishes. She

also added, "Big brother actually likes these the most."

When Zhao Shuoer heard this, his expression softened. She looked at Xiao Xixi and Xiao Si singing the same tune, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this little girl from the Qin family was really smart.

Xiao Xixi glanced at Zhao Shuoer's face and saw that his expression gradually changed from gloomy to peaceful, like a spring breeze blowing on her face. The stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she let out a long breath.

[Ah, big brother is so stupid. He clearly knows that sister Zhao has a hot temper, but he still wants to provoke her. Isn't this asking for trouble?]

Xiao Xixi secretly complained in her heart, but on the surface, she smiled at Zhao Shuoer like a blooming flower, with a pure light flashing in her clear eyes.

However, Qin Qixuan, who was sitting next to her, saw Xiao Xixi like this, and couldn't help but feel moved. He thought she was hungry, so she was crying for food.

He frowned slightly, and there was a bit of hesitation on his face, but looking at Xiao Xixi's expectant eyes, he finally sighed and said to himself.

"Forget it, although we are in a hurry to talk about things at the moment, we really can't let Xiao Xixi down."

So, Qin Qixuan nodded and ordered some exquisite dishes. Seeing this, Zhao Shuoer showed a bit of joy on her face, and hurriedly told the maid to tell the shopkeeper to speed up the serving of the dishes.

After the maid left, Zhao Shuoer's mind became active again.

She glanced at Qin Qixuan, secretly thinking about something in her heart.

Although Qin Qixuan is talented, he doesn't seem to be good at falling in love...

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuoer's heart moved, and she picked up the teapot again to pour tea for Qin Qixuan. Seeing this, Qin Qixuan hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, but Zhao Shuoer insisted on pouring tea for him as if she didn't see it. Qin Qixuan had no choice but to let her pour a cup of tea and put it in front of him.

Zhao Shuoer was pouring tea while thinking to herself.

Qin Qixuan was like a blockhead.

When Qin Qixuan first asked her out, Zhao Shuoer was so happy that she wanted Qin Qixuan to take the initiative to propose to marry her.

Zhao Shuoer was so happy. She thought that Qin Qixuan finally discovered her goodness and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. However, when she stepped into the restaurant and saw that Qin Qixuan not only brought two "little burdens" but also ignored her words, her mood instantly fell to the bottom.

"This Qin Qixuan is such a blockhead!" Zhao Shuoer was angry in her heart, but she kept a decent smile on her face.

Zhao Shuoer understood instantly that if she said anything at this moment, Qin Qixuan would definitely not give her the answer she wanted.

Whenever Qin Qixuan wanted to say something, Zhao Shuoer would always cleverly interrupt him with excuses such as the tea was cold and asking for another cup. She didn't want to put herself in an awkward situation and kept stalling for time.

Qin Qixuan seemed to have noticed Zhao Shuoer's thoughts. He gradually stopped talking and ate quietly. After the meal, he would find a chance to ask, and Zhao Shuoer would not be able to change the subject by then.

Until Zhao Shuoer finished the meal, he had not thought about how to make Qin Qixuan change his mind, discover her goodness, and take the initiative to ask to marry her.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuoer couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Yes, she hadn't won Qin Qixuan over so many times and made him feel good about her, let alone now.

Zhao Shuoer just wanted to pour another cup of tea for Qin Qixuan, but found that there was no water in the teapot.

Qin Qixuan finally found an opportunity and quickly began to discuss with Zhao Shuoer the real purpose of his visit to Zhao Shuoer today.

"I have also heard some of the rumors outside the palace. I don't believe that this matter has nothing to do with the princess. I wonder if the princess can explain it to Qin?"
