After entering the house, Wei Qiuwan led them to the dining room without hesitation.
At this moment, the butler was already waiting there respectfully, and the table was full of sumptuous dishes.
Upon seeing the delicious food, Huo Jinning completely forgot that she still had to push someone forward.
If Fu Qinian hadn't gently pressed the brakes on his wheelchair, he probably would have been pushed into the dining table by Huo Jinning.
However, even though the wheelchair had stopped, Huo Jinning still walked forward and ended up bumping into it hard.
The other three people all looked at her simultaneously.
"Uh... I'm sorry." Huo Jinning came back to her senses, her cheeks slightly flushed, and apologized awkwardly.
"It's alright, it's alright, please sit down. You must be starving! Don't be shy," Wei Qiuwan said with great concern.
"Okay, sure."
Huo Jinning nodded repeatedly like a docile little lamb, but her eyes never left the table full of delicacies.
The four of them took their seats and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.
Wow, this tastes absolutely amazing!
[What kind of meat is this? I can't tell the specific breed, but it's so fresh and tender!]
[Is this really cabbage? How can it taste so delicious!]
[I absolutely love fish, the only downside is the bones; it would be perfect without them.]
Upon hearing Huo Jinning's thoughts, Fu Qinian casually picked up the serving chopsticks on the table and elegantly picked up a piece of fish.
He carefully removed each fish bone, ensuring the fish meat was boneless, before gently placing it on Huo Jinning's plate.
At this moment, Huo Jinning was immersed in the delicious food, enjoying it immensely.
Just as she was about to reach for other dishes with her chopsticks, she suddenly felt something being placed into her plate.
She looked up in confusion, her eyes meeting Fu Qinian's.
Looking at the man who had suddenly brought her fish and meat, Huo Jinning was momentarily at a loss.
She subconsciously put down the chopsticks she was using to pick up food, her eyes filled with confusion, as if asking the other person what was going on.
Fu Qinian felt Huo Jinning's gaze, his face flushed slightly, and he explained in a low and gentle voice, "I noticed that you didn't seem to be very good at picking out fish bones, so I took the liberty of doing it for you... I hope you don't mind."
Before he finished speaking, a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes.
Huo Jinning did not respond immediately after hearing Fu Qinian's explanation.
She first glanced at Fu Wen and Wei Qiuwan sitting opposite her out of the corner of her eye, and sure enough, she found that the two of them were staring intently at her and Fu Qinian.
In an instant, she suddenly realized, as if she understood the reason.
So she smiled and said "thank you" to Fu Qinian, accepting his kindness.
At the same time, he secretly exclaimed: So that's how it is...
Thinking of this, Huo Jinning picked up her chopsticks again and accepted Fu Qinian's care with a clear conscience.
[I didn't expect Fu Qinian to be so serious; he even puts on a show while eating. I'd almost like to award him an Oscar.]
[They're even more dedicated than me, a professional actor.]
[It seems Fu Qinian will do his best in everything he does.]
[That's a good deal for me; I can enjoy it for free.]
[hey-hey.]
[very nice.]
Fu Qinian looked at Huo Jinning with a helpless expression, and sighed inwardly: This woman's way of thinking is really unique!
However, even he himself couldn't explain why this was the case.
Perhaps it was seeing her distressed expression when she didn't want to pick out the fish bones that made me want to help her.
After all, she had helped her grandfather today, so she could consider this her way of repaying him.
"Mmm, it tastes really good!" Huo Jinning ate heartily and enjoyed the pleasure that the food brought her.
Only after their bellies were completely full did they reluctantly put down their chopsticks.
Wei Qiu was already familiar with Huo Jinning's astonishing appetite, so she did not show much surprise.
But Fu Wen was witnessing this scene for the first time, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment—he had never met a girl who could eat so much before.
When the meal was over, Huo Jinning suddenly realized that she had eaten too much, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
[Oh no, I forgot all about it once I started eating, and now my image is completely ruined.]
[God, please split a hole in the ground and let me in!]
[I'm too ashamed to face them.]
[Is Fu Qinian thinking I eat too much and want to find a new girlfriend?]
[Does that mean I won't be able to eat their food anymore?]
[That's such a shame, I should have eaten more.]
[What a pity.]
Upon hearing this, Fu Qinian couldn't help but smile slightly, the corners of his mouth curving up, but Huo Jinning, who was immersed in thought, did not notice this.
"Ningning, are you full?" Wei Qiuwan asked softly when she saw that Huo Jinning had put down her chopsticks and was sitting there quietly, as if she was deep in thought.
"Mmm, I'm full!" Huo Jinning nodded hurriedly in response, indicating that she had finished eating and was still a little embarrassed.
"Now that we're full, let's go to the living room. I'll ask Sister Zhao to prepare some fruit. Do you see if there's anything you like? Or tell me what you like to eat, and I'll have someone go out and buy it."
"Aunt Fu, actually I'm not that picky, I like all kinds of fruits." Huo Jinning's big eyes sparkled as she answered expectantly.
Her eyes lit up especially when food was mentioned, revealing her love for food.
Then, the four of them walked together to the living room to enjoy a moment of leisure.
They chatted leisurely while enjoying fruit. Huo Jinning and Wei Qiuwan did most of the conversation, while the father and son only occasionally chimed in with a word or two. The atmosphere was quite harmonious and pleasant.
Huo Jinning gradually felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, and her once bright and spirited eyes became somewhat dull and lifeless.
Wei Qiuwan noticed this and gently instructed, "Xiao Nian, take Ningning to your room to rest for a while."
“Okay, Mom,” Fu Qin replied softly.
Fu Qinian lived on the third floor, so Huo Jinning pushed his wheelchair and took the elevator with him to their destination.
"Ningning, take a rest first. I'm in the study next door. If you need any help, just call me anytime," Fu Qinian said after escorting Huo Jinning to his room.
"Okay, thank you," Huo Jinning replied listlessly, clearly exhausted.
After Fu Qinian left, Huo Jinning lay down on the bed without saying a word and instantly fell asleep.
