Ning Zixuan couldn't stand being watched like this, but when he thought about how Jiang Yuwei had asked him to do this, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Since Ning Zixuan hadn't eaten breakfast that morning, and these snacks were indeed delicious, he started eating them without caring about his image.
Little did she know that Wang Yuru would happen to be passing by while shopping. She heard that a new food court had opened on Jin Street, so she decided to come and join in the fun. After all, how could she miss out on a place with delicious food?
After finally squeezing through the crowd of people trying the food, Wang Yuru arrived at the shop entrance and saw Ning Zixuan feasting without a care for his image. She couldn't help but swallow hard.
The thought of having to queue to buy food inside made him think he might as well shamelessly ask Ning Zixuan for some food. After all, there were so many snacks on the table that he couldn't possibly finish them all by himself.
With that thought in mind, Wang Yuru smiled sheepishly and stepped forward, waving her hand as she said:
"Your Highness, what a coincidence to run into you here."
She spoke to Ning Zixuan, but her eyes never left the food on the table. Ning Zixuan looked up at her, couldn't help but find it amusing, and replied:
"Yes, what a coincidence, Miss Wang, you've sobered up today?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuru suddenly recalled her embarrassing behavior at the banquet that day, and couldn't help but blush and chuckle awkwardly.
"That was a mistake, a mistake."
As she spoke, Wang Yuru pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Ning Zixuan, her eyes still fixed on the food on the table. Seeing that Ning Zixuan was about to stuff the flatbread she wanted into his mouth, she quickly spoke up to stop him.
"Wait a minute, Your Highness. I see you've ordered so much food that you can't possibly finish it all. How about I help you share the load? Don't worry, I won't eat for free. I'll pay for it later!"
Before Ning Zixuan could reply, Wang Yuru snatched the pancake from his hand and stuffed it into her mouth, as if afraid that if she was a little slow, Ning Zixuan would take it back.
Seeing her like this, Ning Zixuan shut his mouth and took a sip of the chilled mung bean soup beside him.
Wang Yuru had her eye on that cup of mung bean soup again, so she pointed at it and laughed:
"What's that? Can I have a bite too?"
Seeing her like this, Ning Zixuan quickly gripped the cup in his hand, slightly turning his body to protect his chest, and said warily:
"I've already finished this one, I'll order you another one."
As he spoke, Ning Zixuan quickly reached out to greet Yun Qing:
"Yunqing, bring Miss Wang a cup of mung bean soup."
Seeing this, Wang Yuru could only smack her lips and reluctantly pick up a salted egg yolk pastry from the side and eat it. One bite made her gasp in surprise.
"This, this pastry is so delicious! How come there's so much filling inside? It's both sweet and savory. I've never eaten such a delicious pastry before!"
As she spoke, Wang Yuru had already stuffed her mouth full and kept nodding as she looked at Ning Zixuan.
Seeing this, Ning Zixuan said helplessly:
"It's an egg yolk pastry. If you like, you can pack some to take home and eat later."
"It's so delicious! I'll definitely come to this food city every day from now on!"
Those queuing nearby couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight of Wang Yuru eating.
"Hurry up and buy it, we've been waiting for ages!"
"Yeah, I'm going to buy those egg yolk pastries later too."
"Mom, she looks like she's eating really well."
"Don't rush, it'll be our turn soon!"
Jiang Yuwei was busy explaining the discount and membership system for the opening day. She glanced at Ning Zixuan's seat and saw Wang Yuru eating with him. A smile appeared on her face, and she thought to herself:
This couple looks really good.
Thinking this, Jiang Yuwei reached out and beckoned Xia Yue over, whispering:
“I noticed that Miss Wang has a good appetite. If there’s anything left on her and the young master’s table, hurry up and fill it up. Tell Miss Wang to eat as much as she wants, since it’s my treat today.”
Xia Yue received the instructions and withdrew.
Wang Yuru was enjoying her meal when she heard a familiar voice.
"Qinglan, look at her, so pathetic! It's just a few snacks, how could she eat like that!"
While eating the spicy hot pot in her bowl, Wang Yuru looked up at Princess Anping who had spoken, and frowned as she defended herself:
"What do you know? These snacks are things I've never tried before, and they're all delicious!"
Anping snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"Hmph, you look so unsophisticated."
Princess Qinglan, standing to the side, also covered her mouth and chuckled softly, as if in agreement.
As they talked, the two entered the shop. Princess Anping saw Ning Zixuan sitting opposite Wang Yurou with a cold face, so she smiled and gave Ning Zixuan a slight bow. Then she pulled Princess Qinglan to sit next to Ning Zixuan.
Seeing how quickly her expression changed, Wang Yuru couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Hmph, didn't you look down on the food here? Why did you sit down here?"
Princess Anping covered her nose with her handkerchief, and to show her disdain for the snacks, she gave the food on the table a particularly disgusted look before slowly speaking.
"I only came in to greet the young master because I saw he was here."
"Oh, judging from your disdainful look, I thought you wouldn't bother sitting on these stools. The young master ate all this food just now, so you look down on even him?"
Princess Anping felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing this, then looked at the heir apparent and explained:
"Your Highness, I... I didn't mean that. I don't look down on you. I'm used to eating the food in the palace. I rarely eat outside, and I've hardly ever been to a restaurant."
Ning Zixuan looked coldly at Princess Anping and slowly spoke:
"If you don't like it, you don't have to come in, and you don't have to greet me."
Seeing that Ning Zixuan was angry, Princess Anping gritted her teeth, picked up a fried cake from the table, and took a bite.
"I don't dislike it. I just haven't tried these foods before, so I was a little hesitant to eat them. But now that I've eaten them, look, I've finished them all. They really are quite delicious."
Ning Zixuan frowned as he looked at the plate of fried cakes she had touched and said in a deep voice:
"Are you still going to eat?"
Those at the table, upon hearing this, were momentarily confused as to who Ning Zixuan was talking to, and looked at him with bewilderment.
Ning Zixuan looked up at Wang Yuru and continued:
"Do you still want to eat this dish that she touched? If not, I'll have someone throw it away."
Upon hearing Ning Huaizhi's words, Princess Anping paused in her actions, her body stiffening as if she were neither standing nor sitting, her face deathly pale.
Princess Qinglan, who was standing to the side, quickly smiled and said:
"Your Highness is truly joking. Anping only took one piece, so why can't the whole plate be eaten?"
Wang Yuru, who was standing to the side, had already turned red to the tips of her ears. She did not expect the prince to say such a thing to her. So, does this mean that the prince is on her side?
