"Okay." Gu Linchao responded calmly and sat down opposite her.
Wen Nongnong used chopsticks to stir the corn in the bowl.
The cook in the Prince's mansion originally peeled the corn kernels off the cob and stewed them with the pork ribs, but she felt that the corn on the cob would taste better if cooked together, so she suggested cutting the corn into sections and throwing them into the soup to cook together.
She skewered a piece of corn with chopsticks, then handed it to Gu Linchao, smiling as she said, "Your Highness, corn tastes even better this way. Please try it."
Gu Linchao looked at the corn she offered him, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head, "I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself."
Wen Nongnong pouted. She should have known that someone like him would definitely care about his image. How could he possibly just bite her like that?
She shrugged, didn't force herself, and started eating.
Gu Linchao drank some soup for a while, then looked up and saw the girl opposite him holding chopsticks and nibbling on corn.
The snow-white teeth gently bit into the corn, and for some reason, this scene reminded him of a groundhog.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Wen Nongnong loved corn and ate several pieces in a row, finishing both the corn in her own bowl and the soup bowl. Finally, her eyes fell on the corn in Gu Linchao's bowl.
She bit her chopsticks and shamelessly said, "Your Highness dislikes wasting food the most, but don't you eat corn?" Since you don't eat it, don't waste it, give it to me.
Gu Linchao hadn't eaten any corn. When he heard what she said, he paused for a moment, looked down at the two pieces of corn in his bowl, and instantly understood her intention.
Does this girl want to eat the corn in his bowl?
His handsome face felt a little hot.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked uncertainly, "Do you want to eat?"
Wen Nongnong immediately nodded, "If Your Highness doesn't want to eat, then give it to me." As she spoke, she brought the bowl closer.
Gu Linchao: "..."
His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, even though he hadn't touched the corn, he had touched the soup in the bowl, and the corn might even have had his saliva on it...
But seeing how indifferent the girl seemed, he didn't say those words.
She, as a woman, wasn't shy about it, let alone him, who was a man and they were husband and wife. It didn't seem wrong for her to take the food from his bowl.
He pursed his lips, suppressing his unease, and gave her all the corn.
"Thank you, Your Highness," Wen Nongnong said happily, then got up and scooped the remaining ribs from the soup bowl into his bowl. "Your Highness works too hard every day, you should eat more meat."
Gu Linchao swallowed back his refusal after hearing the second half of her sentence.
He remained silent, head down, eating his meat.
Neither of them spoke again, yet a warm atmosphere permeated the space around them.
Gu Linchao glanced up and saw her eating corn. Her pearly white teeth were biting into the corn kernels. He paused, thinking that the corn had been soaked in the soup he had been drinking. His handsome face suddenly turned a little red, his thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and his fingers curled up.
After finishing her meal, Wen Nongnong remembered something and suddenly ran out. When she returned, she had two more things in her hands.
Gu Linchao saw it, his breath hitched, and a hint of anticipation flickered in his phoenix eyes.
Wen Nongnong walked over and stuffed something into his hand, her eyes darting around, her tone evasive, "Your Highness, it would be best to keep things like this safe in the future. Luckily, it was me who saw it this time; if it had been someone else, Your Highness's reputation would have been tarnished..."
