Chapter 481 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 33
Lu Jingxun reached out, casually picked up a pastry, avoided the spot she had just bitten, and took a small bite.
He didn't like sweets to begin with and rarely tried them, let alone the leftovers she had eaten today. After taking just one bite, he put down the pastry in his hand and decided not to try any more.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Jiang Zhiyi looked up at Lu Jingxun, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"It's too sweet, it's cloying." As she said this, the look of disgust on her face became more and more obvious. It was hard to tell whether she was disgusted by the excessive sweetness or by the fact that she had taken a bite of it.
It's most likely because of the latter.
Seeing his expression, which suggested he had severe mysophobia, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but purse her lips.
What a pretentious man.
She simply ignored him and focused her attention back on the snacks in front of her, eating them intently by herself.
She ate with great enthusiasm, her cheeks puffing out, making her look both cute and somewhat childlike.
Seeing her like this, Lu Jingxun felt as if he were seeing her younger brother and sister.
In her daily life, she is a caring older sister to Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin, always showing a maturity beyond her years.
In reality, she was still just a naive young girl.
Before long, Jiang Zhiyi was almost full.
She knew she couldn't possibly finish all the snacks on the table by herself, and Lu Jingxun didn't seem to want them either, so she decided to take the rest back for her younger siblings.
Lu Jingxun disliked her, but her younger siblings wouldn't. At home, they would occasionally eat from the same bowl at the same time.
Jiang Zhiyi: "I'll take the rest back for Jinjin and Yinyin to eat."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxun frowned. "Let the nanny redo it."
He wouldn't be so stingy as to not even part with some snacks and let her take the leftovers home. What kind of behavior is that?
“Why bother making them again? It’s such a waste and a hassle. These aren’t inedible.” Jiang Zhiyi knew that if she didn’t take them, the snacks would definitely be thrown away. She didn’t like seeing people waste food. “My younger brother and sister love to eat them, so I’ll take them back for them.”
Lu Jingxun didn't say anything, intending to let her go, but then thought he could take the opportunity to mock her.
He deliberately became stern, as if he was angry because Jiang Zhiyi wouldn't listen to him. "Does your family really enjoy eating what others don't want? As the older sister, you don't care about your younger siblings at all, and you only take them to eat leftovers. What if they get sick? What if they follow your example and go out to pick up food to eat all the time... I know your family is poor and has very bad conditions, but it shouldn't be so poor that you'd eat any kind of garbage, right?"
His words were a bit harsh, but they weren't entirely unfounded. Last time, the snack bag that was accidentally blown away by the wind was picked up and licked by her younger siblings, wasn't it?
This is a very bad habit. In the countryside, you can find anything, like rice mixed with rat poison, fruits and vegetables sprayed with pesticides... What if one day the two children find something unclean and eat it carelessly? If something happens, it will be too late to regret it.
Jiang Zhiyi was stunned. She never expected him to say such a thing, and his tone was so aggressive.
If it were an ordinary person, being mocked with such barbed words would definitely make them feel very uncomfortable.
He wasn't talking about the snacks at all; he was clearly mocking her for being petty, unsophisticated, and shabby.
But Jiang Zhiyi is not the kind of ordinary person who can be easily manipulated; she doesn't care about these things at all.
She frowned, then retorted without backing down, "I'll teach them these things slowly later. Besides, they're not stupid; they don't eat everything. These snacks aren't poisonous; I just took a bite out of them. How did they become the garbage you're talking about? Has the injury on your leg transferred to your brain? Are you out of your mind? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
Lu Jingxun was about to retort when Jiang Zhiyi gave him no chance, continuing, "I just don't want to waste food. It's all clean food. My younger siblings have eaten things I've bitten before, and they usually like to eat what's in my bowl. You think there's a problem, that it's garbage, because you despise me from the bottom of your heart!"
She spoke very directly.
"You look down on me so much, yet you still have the nerve to say you want to sleep with me tonight? You're a shameless scoundrel!"
Lu Jingxun was stunned by the barrage of scolding and his mood became terrible. No one had ever scolded him like this before, but seeing how angry she was, he was worried that she might break up with him if she got upset, and then all the things he had done today would be for nothing.
He had no choice but to suppress his temper and, after a long pause, replied, "I don't dislike you, I just feel it's inappropriate to do this. If you really want to take it back, then take it. I'll have the nanny help pack it."
This statement already represents a compromise and concession.
But Jiang Zhiyi didn't give up. She snorted and said, "You say you don't mind, then why don't you eat it? I want you to eat it now, eat it for me."
Lu Jingxun has not made any moves yet.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyi blinked, and tears welled up in her eyes. Large tears rolled down her cheeks, and her voice was trembling with sobs, sounding very aggrieved: "So you're looking down on me, and you even said my family is poor..."
She cried and wiped her tears haphazardly with the back of her hand, but the tears flowed like a broken string of pearls, and she couldn't stop them.
Lu Jingxun did say those things to make her overthink, and now that he's achieved his goal, he's also feeling a bit down because negative emotions are contagious.
Suddenly, I lost the will to continue; all I could think about was calming her down and stopping her crying.
"I didn't look down on you, I didn't look down on you..." He could only repeat it again, like a robot that could only repeat itself, "I also didn't say your family was poor, you're not poor..."
“But my family is poor!” Jiang Zhiyi immediately retorted the second half of his sentence, tears still welling up in her eyes as she stubbornly glared at him.
Lu Jingxun: "..."
"Fine, whatever you say, stop crying." He was completely at his wit's end.
Jiang Zhiyi was still humming.
Lu Jingxun said again, "It was my fault for saying that to you. What do you want? Tell me, and I'll buy it for you as a compensation gift. Please don't cry anymore, okay?"
My head is about to ache from her crying.
Jiang Zhiyi had been waiting for him to say that. She pretended to think for a while, seemingly hesitant, but finally stammered out, her voice soft and a little guilty, "I want a house."
