Shen Jie frowned silently when he saw the table full of spicy dishes.
Ye Ying also found it difficult to swallow.
Only Du Yaoyao took a few bites from the plate and ate with great pleasure.
While eating, he urged, "Eat, eat quickly, this rabbit meat is so spicy and delicious!"
If they hadn't seen her forehead sweating and her lips red from eating, Chen Jie and Ye Ying would have suspected that Du Yaoyao was playing a prank on them.
The diet in Jiangnan is light and spicy food is seldom eaten. Liu Er looked at Chen Jie's face and reminded Du Yaoyao, "Madam, the Lord and Miss Ye are from Wuxing..."
"What's wrong?" Du Yaoyao took a sip of tea and swallowed a piece of spicy fish fillet.
"Miss Ye can't eat spicy food." Liu'er euphemistically mentioned only Ye Ying.
Du Yaoyao suddenly realized something and covered her mouth, "Oh, I forgot." She apologized to Ye Ying and stood up, "Then I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to make some Jiangnan dishes."
Ye Ying nodded, "Thank you for your help, Miss Du."
Du Yaoyao took another sip of tea, stuck out her tongue, and smiled, "No trouble, no trouble."
Such a vulgar action looks playful and cute when she does it. There is even a temptation to be naive.
Ye Ying subconsciously looked at Chen Jie, but Chen Jie's expression did not change. However, she vaguely felt that Du Yaoyao tonight was very simple, yet extremely beautiful.
Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Du Yaoyao was dressed in white, with fair skin and black hair. The tip of her straight nose was dotted with sweat, and her rosy little mouth was slightly open as she gasped. One knew that she was feeling spicy, but it was easy to associate it with desire.
Ye Ying's eyes moved away from Shen Jie, and she didn't notice that his throat moved slightly.
Ye Ying felt that after dressing up carefully, she seemed to be inferior to Du Yaoyao in her plain appearance, competing with the pearl.
She comforted herself that Chen Jie was not a person who cared much about appearance.
Back in Wuxing, he passed the academy examinations and the provincial examinations and became the top scholar and the champion. Many young ladies wanted to marry him, and even a courtesan threw herself into his arms, but he remained indifferent.
How could he take Du Yaoyao, a girl with vulgar words and actions, seriously?
Thinking of this, she straightened her back and raised her head, trying hard to show her elegance and grace that came from her knowledge of poetry and books.
Chen Jie was like a blind man, he was recalling Du Yaoyao's expression and behavior.
Since Du Yaoyao could notice that he had the habit of eating sweet food, how could she not know that he didn't eat spicy food? Ye Ying came from Jiangnan, and the maids and cooks would remind their masters about the guests' tastes. Obviously, Du Yaoyao pretended not to know.
Instructing the kitchen to prepare a few side dishes, did she, a lady of the mansion, need to go there in person? Looking at Du Yaoyao's hurried back, with the chaste and virtuous Ye Ying sitting next to her, Chen Jie understood a little.
For the first time, Chen Jie felt that he needed to make a serious statement to Du Yaoyao: Don’t send him any more women, because he was angry and wanted to “eat” her, so it was impossible for him to get tired of her for the time being.
"Brother Jie." Ye Ying used the name she had used when she was little. Shen Jie looked at her coldly, so she changed her words to "Lord Shen."
Only then did Shen Jie show his patience in listening to her.
Ye Ying explained the whole story of what happened in Wuxing. When she was moved, her eyes were filled with tears and she looked very charming.
Chen Jie nodded, with a brief "hmm" or "okay" interspersed between his words, without any additional words of comfort.
