In the sweltering summer heat, Rong Shang went out to eat hot pot with them.
In this world, the original owner couldn't eat anything spicy.
Originally, Rong Shang thought she could eat it herself, but after taking a bite of spicy kimchi, she was speechless.
A breath of hot air escaped, and Rong Shang's small face turned red.
While everyone else was enjoying their meal, she didn't want anyone to know that she couldn't eat spicy food, so she grabbed a glass of frozen juice and put it in her mouth.
He gulped down a big mouthful.
Hua Beixing, who was standing next to her, turned around and glanced at her, teasingly saying, "You're here to have a drink, aren't you?"
I didn't know until I looked, and half of the juice was gone.
Rong Shang's expression immediately turned unnatural, and she put the juice back.
Hua Beixing then served her some food.
What kind of meat? Meatballs? Lotus root?
Hua Beixing said, "Eat more. You're so thin, people who don't know better would think I'm starving you."
He was just joking.
The people around them started to jeer, "Oh, so Young Master Hua knows how to care about people now."
"That's right. Brother Xing is so rich, he should eat for three days and three nights. Give him ten or eight pounds of everything, including abalone, lobster, and bird's nest."
Bird's nest sold by the kilogram?
You must be really rich.
Rong Shang didn't think so. She stepped on Hua Beixing's foot, making him turn pale with pain.
"What are you doing?!"
Rong Shang rolled her eyes at him, "You talk as if you've ever spent any money on me."
Hua Beixing was stunned for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly.
"I was just kidding, why are you taking it so seriously?"
Rong Shang looked away without saying a word, just staring at the bright red food in the bowl.
Hua Beixing, who was standing next to him, was still saying, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
She didn't move an inch.
Soon, Hua Beixing noticed something was wrong. He came over with a grin and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
"Can't you eat spicy food?"
Rong Shang rolled her eyes at him, picked up the smallest piece of lotus root, and threw it into her mouth.
Chew, chew, chew...
Rong Chang's expression became increasingly unnatural.
Hua Beixing saw this but held back his laughter.
"Eating hot pot? It would be so boring if everyone ate like you."
He picked up a large piece of beef from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it a few times while making noises.
"It smells so good! You have to eat it in big bites like I do."
No one knew what was happening here. They just saw Hua Beixing teasing her from time to time and assumed that the two of them were having an affair.
Cheng Wei was envious, saying, "Brother Xing is so lucky to have found such a beautiful woman as his wife."
"Unlike me, I don't know when I'll be able to settle down and start a family."
He sighed, and Ji Feng next to him teased him, "Don't you even know how many levels you are below Bei Xing?"
Wow, that really hit home.
Before long, everyone went off to talk about their own things.
Hua Beixing kept encouraging her to eat the vegetables heartily.
Rong Shang was so overwhelmed by the spiciness that she almost covered his mouth and told him to shut up.
"I'm not eating anymore." She threw down her chopsticks and muttered under her breath, "It's so spicy, are they trying to kill me with it?"
Hua Beixing was closest to her, so of course he heard what she said.
He smiled, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
How could that be?
He then picked up a large piece of beef from the bottom of the pot and dipped it in a lot of chili sauce.
Taking advantage of Rong Shang's momentary lapse in attention, he quickly stuffed the beef into her mouth with his chopsticks.
"Hmm, Rong Chang, "..."
"Hurry up and eat, what are you sitting there for?" the man said with a sly grin.
Rong Shang glared at him and chewed symbolically.
"..."
A surge of energy welled up inside her, and she...
Cough, cough.
He quickly spat out the meat from his mouth.
