Chapter 521: Secret Joy
"Sir, do you want me to give the order to serve the meal?" Jing Zhao asked.
"I was having so much fun chatting with Miss Zhuang that I almost forgot it was already this time." Chu Jinnian said with a smile, "Then let's set the table."
"Yes." Jing Zhao replied, planning to ask someone to invite Chu Jinzhou and others to come and have dinner together.
"By the way, when you were pouring tea just now, you said that Jin Zhou and the others wanted to eat in his courtyard. Don't you want to come over to eat?"
Chu Jinnian raised his eyebrows and said, "They are really little kids. They don't care about anything when they are playing. Mr. Fan is the same. He usually spoils them. Now he lets them do whatever they want without saying anything. He also becomes like a child with them. He only wants to eat alone and doesn't even care that Miss Zhuang is here."
"Well, well, since they want to eat by themselves, let them do as they please. Just send the food over. We will only send the food for me and Miss Zhuang."
??? Didn’t he just say that Chu Jinzhou and the others asked to eat alone, and didn’t he want to eat with the two of them?
On the contrary, when he went to get people to prepare tea and snacks, he heard Chu Jinzhou and the others yelling about what they were going to do when they had dinner with Chu Jinnian and Miss Zhuang later...
But now Chu Jinnian said this, what is he trying to do?
Jing Zhao was stunned for a moment.
Chu Jinnian raised his eyebrows when he saw this. “Just tell Jinzhou and the others that it’s okay for them to eat alone. I won’t be unhappy about it.”
The three words "unhappy" were pronounced with a very strong emphasis.
In other words, if this thing doesn't work out...
Jing Zhao came back to his senses immediately, and a chill ran down his back. "Yes, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he hurried to Chu Jinzhou's yard.
Chu Jinnian's expression softened, with a hint of guilt, "Jinzhou has been spoiled by me all the time, and has become even more willful. Miss Zhuang, please don't take it to heart."
"Jinzhou is smart and sensible, and he is very polite in his daily life. I guess it's Qingsui and the others who are making trouble, and Jinzhou can't do anything about it. This child has been spoiled by me all day long, and he has become more and more unruly." Zhuang Qingning was also a little embarrassed.
"Well, just let them be. Fortunately, we haven't just met for the first time, so there is no need to be so formal. The children are happy. Without them making trouble, the meal will be more peaceful."
Chu Jinnian looked like he was teasing himself, and Zhuang Qingning followed suit, saying, "Yeah, without them, the food will be cleaner. Maybe I can eat half a bowl more rice than usual when I eat later."
Her smile was sweet and playful, and Chu Jinnian's eyebrows curved when he saw her.
The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world.
He originally had a very handsome face, and when he smiled, the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc. The smile at the corners of his lips was soft and warm, and he was extremely handsome.
At this moment, Zhuang Qingning didn't know what words to use to describe the handsome man in front of her. The corners of her lips curled up even more, and her eyes were fixed on Chu Jinnian's face, refusing to move away even a little.
"Miss Zhuang has been staring at me. Is there something dirty on my face?" Chu Jinnian asked with a smile when he saw this.
"No, it's just that Mr. Chu is born good-looking." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
She was telling the truth. If a girl is pretty, anyone would want to take a second look at her.
Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli, the two little kids, said that they liked Chu Jinnian's class because he was a good lecturer, but the real reason was probably because looking at Chu Jinnian was more pleasing to the eye than looking at Fan Wenxuan.
Born good-looking?
Chu Jinnian raised his eyebrows and even narrowed his eyes.
Since he was a child, people have praised him for his good looks.
But as a man, being told that you are good-looking is not a glorious thing.
Therefore, Chu Jinnian has disliked others saying this since he was a child, and it is still the same now.
But at this moment, Chu Jinnian heard Zhuang Qingning praising his good looks, but he was not disgusted, instead...
There was a hint of secret joy.
Zhuang Qingning said that he was handsome, so she couldn't take her eyes off him.
From now on, she will no longer be able to tolerate other people's appearance.
"It is such an honor to be praised by Miss Zhuang." Chu Jinnian's heart moved, his eyes flickered, and he bowed in the direction of Zhuang Qingning, "Then..."
"Since Miss Zhuang likes this face, why don't we make it real? When we really get married, Miss Zhuang can look at my pretty face every day, right?"
The voice was lazy and clear, and the bony fingers stroked the very beautiful face. The originally deep and bottomless eyes now had a bit of frivolity, like a spring breeze that came gently and stirred people's hearts at will.
Seeing Chu Jinnian like this, Zhuang Qingning was stunned for a moment, then stroked his forehead and sighed.
If this handsome man is teased, he is really a demon.
A random joke or a random action is so charming that an ordinary person would have fallen for her long ago.
Fortunately, she had always been in Class 2, 3, and 4 since she was a child, and had never been in Class 1.
She can still handle such jokes.
"No way." Zhuang Qingning shook his head seriously.
"What?" Chu Jinnian was stunned.
"I said, it is probably impossible for me to marry Master Chu."
Zhuang Qingning started to laugh, his eyes sly as a little fox, and said, "Master Chu is a good-looking man, there must be a lot of lustful women like me, and there must be a lot of people who are thinking about him, just like this flower, blooming fragrant and beautiful, bees and butterflies flocking to it, if you can't stop them, it's a headache just thinking about it."
So, should he be more handsome or less handsome? Chu Jinnian frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Actually, there are other ways."
"Why not just announce to the public that my face was disfigured due to an accident, and wear a mask to the public, and only reveal my true face to those close to me. This way, I can completely stop outsiders from having any thoughts about me, but I can still maintain this appearance."
"In this way, if I say that I have no intention of getting married because of my ugly appearance, the elders in my family will no longer force me, and the people who approach me will definitely not be attracted by my appearance. Can this be regarded as killing two birds with one stone?"
Moreover, in the future, even if the Queen Mother becomes the Queen Mother, Concubine Hui will follow his wishes, will not obstruct his marriage, and will accept the person he likes. However, the prejudice in her heart may not be completely eliminated. To be on the safe side, if she says that she will never leave him, she will definitely be praised for it.
More importantly, this is also an excellent reason to make the Prince Qi's Mansion, which has been a bit quiet recently, lively again.
You can achieve multiple goals with one move.
Chu Jinnian couldn't help but smile.
"This is a really great idea. I never thought of it before. Thanks to Miss Zhuang for reminding me. I will have someone make a delicate and thin mask to cover my face in the next few days."
"Ms. Zhuang is indeed very smart. She is admirable."
