“Coming.” Nan Yan responded briskly, put down the teacup in her hand, then quickly got up and followed with small steps. When she passed by Fu Jingheng, she especially gave him a meaningful look.
After taking a seat in the dining room, Ye Jingya smiled and used serving chopsticks to pick a piece of braised meat and placed it on Fu Jingheng’s plate. She then said politely, “Jingheng, it’s the first time you came to our house, so I don’t know what you like to eat, and didn’t prepare them in advance. These dishes are what Yan Yan usually likes to eat. You can taste them and see if they suit your taste.”
Nan Yan ate the food nonchalantly while looking at the braised meat on his plate, then glanced at her hospitable mother.
She thought that Fu Jingheng would be a very picky person. This braised meat might not suit his lofty tastes. Moreover, someone else helped him pick it. Although she used serving chopsticks, she had heard that Fu Jingheng had O.C.D, so he probably couldn’t accept it!
“Madam Nan is too polite.” Fu Jingheng replied lightly, then picked up the chopsticks and ate them without any discomfort or disgust.
Nan Yan felt a little incredulous. She thought her mother was going to suffer rejection!
Ye Jingya was a bit happy to see that Fu Jingheng wasn’t as difficult to get along with as the rumours said he was. When she retracted her gaze, she found that Nan Yan’s gaze was on Fu Jingheng. Ye Jingya furrowed her brows and made an eye gesture at her.
But Nan Yan was immersed in her thoughts while eating at this time and was completely oblivious to Ye Jingya’s eye gestures.
Ye Jingya was so angry that her head hurt. Although Fu Jingheng was handsome and charming, as a girl, how could she stare at him so unabashedly? Wouldn’t their family become a laughing stock for lack of etiquette?
Besides, she had just called off her marriage with his nephew, so it was really wrong for her to stare at him so unabashedly. Thinking of this, Ye Jingya still had a kind and demure smile on her face, but she stretched her feet under the table and kicked Nan Yan’s calf directly.
After being kicked by Ye Jingya like this, Nan Yan came back to her senses. It was a pity that the braised meat on her chopsticks fell on the table before she could even take a bite.
“Hurry up and eat. Don’t you have to go back to school later?” Upon receiving Nan Yan’s puzzled glance, Ye Jingya gave her an angry look and urged her.
Nan Yan felt choked. She silently retracted her gaze, and inadvertently saw that Fu Jingheng’s lips were curled up in a seemingly devilish yet also seemingly gentle smile.
The weather had cooled down. Nan Yan will stay at school for at least a week. In fact, apart from lunch with Ye Jingya, she also wanted to come back to get some clothes. So after the meal, she went upstairs and went back to her room to organize things. After she left, only Fu Jingheng and Ye Jingya were in the living room, and they chatted.
When she came down again, it was already twenty minutes later. She originally thought that Fu Jingheng was a busy person and after eating, he would leave after a short while at most. However, he was still sitting there drinking tea, and the expression on his face was impassive. But Ye Jingya, who was sitting on his left side, merrily chatted away without stopping. The vibe was ten times better than she had imagined.
“Yan Yan, have you finished organizing your clothes?” Ye Jingya smiled, then got up and walked over to ask when she saw her coming down.
Nan Yan walked down the last step of the stairs and nodded softly. “Yes, I’m done.”
“It just so happens that Jingheng is going back to his company, and will pass by your school, so you can take his car over there! It’s along the way.”
