No, I didn't! I'm really full!
Fan Xiaofan didn't know what it was about her that made Shi Lingheng think she hadn't eaten enough.
She was being stared at by Shi Lingheng and even began to wonder if she really wasn't eating enough.
But the feeling of fullness in my stomach reminded me that I wasn't!
After finishing their meal, everyone took a short break, as they would have to get back to work when the drums and gongs sounded in the afternoon. Thus, in the cramped kitchen, the men washed the pots and pans, while the young girls curiously propped their chins up and looked around.
Shi Lingheng didn't listen to Fan Xiaofan's words and assumed she really wasn't full. He casually picked up a sweet potato, sliced it, and used the residual heat to bake it to remove moisture.
Fan Yunyan was sent off by Fan Xiaofan to rest with Fu Weidong, as was the usual practice. He didn't think much of it, but the more he thought about it today, the more he realized that Shi Lingheng was left in the kitchen while his second sister was outside. Wasn't this a situation where things were going to go wrong?
So he rolled over in bed and got up. Xu Youwen, who was in the room, heard the noise and muttered a couple of times.
He snorted, closed the door, and went out, only to witness a bizarre scene.
With a complicated expression, he asked, "Shi Zhiqing, what are you doing?"
Just then, Shi Lingheng handed the roasted sweet potato chips to Fan Xiaofan as a snack. These things don't fill you up and are sweet, so Fan Xiaofan didn't think much of it and slowly took them and started munching on them.
Fan Xiaofan's cat-like eyes were startled by Fan Yunyan's sudden voice. Shi Lingheng silently handed her the dried sweet potato in his hand, signaling her to continue.
Fan Yunyan sidled up between the two, looking at his silly second sister with a helpless expression: "Tell me what you want to eat..."
We can't let someone else's worthless dried sweet potatoes fool us like that.
Fan Xiaofan acted entirely out of a psychological reason: she wasn't hungry, but if a powerful person handed you something, you had to accept it respectfully.
Otherwise, it would be quite strange to have those deep, dark eyes staring at you...
She was just chewing on a dried sweet potato, what did she do to deserve this?
Fan Yunyan glared at Shi Lingheng, took out two sweet potatoes from his own food sack and gave them to him, saying, "Here you go."
Shi Lingheng raised an eyebrow.
Fan Xiaofan had no idea about romantic relationships. Firstly, Shi Lingheng had a principal wife; secondly, he was still young; and thirdly, according to records, this powerful figure had never had any other women by his side, except for Ruan Jiu, who had stayed with him for a while.
She was embarrassed enough about the misunderstanding last time, so now she doesn't even think about it anymore.
Shi Lingheng himself felt that feeding a cat and watching her slowly eat dried sweet potatoes gave him a strangely relaxing and healing feeling.
Since taking over the Shi family's responsibilities, he outwardly suppressed everything from the past, but he also needed an outlet for his emotions.
He found teasing the cat quite amusing.
Fan Xiaofan: "..."
Completely unaware that she was being used as a stress reliever.
On the contrary, Fan Yunyan was so angry that he firmly set a great goal: to be a third wheel in the future.
Shi Lingheng slowly accepted the sweet potato, glanced at Fan Xiaofan, and asked, "Are you full?"
Fan Xiaofan blinked and couldn't help but chuckle. It turned out that the feeding earlier was because they were worried that she hadn't eaten enough.
She raised her hand as if to swear: "I have a small appetite, and I was really full from those meals."
Shi Lingheng had already cleaned the kitchen, but upon hearing this, he looked at Fan Yunyan and said, "Your family must have treated her badly..."
Otherwise, how could I feel full after eating so little?
This is not normal.
Fan Yunyan's face instantly turned red and his neck thickened.
My second sister is indeed not doing well at home; perhaps her cat-like stomach is a result of not eating enough for many years.
