Xia Luotong on the side was completely unaware of Wu Zechen's inner activities. At the moment, she was only thinking about her sour bamboo shoot noodles. As soon as the guard outside the carriage handed them over, she couldn't wait to eat them.
The fragrant and sour soup warmed her body. After a mouthful of hot soup, she felt comfortable. She squinted her eyes happily, and then she started fighting hard without caring about what Wu Zechen was thinking. ?
Wu Zechen, who was trying to sort out his thoughts, couldn't help but feel funny when he saw how deliciously she ate. She looked like a greedy cat, as if the palace really didn't give her anything to eat.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but freeze. The previous memory came back. To be honest, it seemed that he hadn't given her food for a while...
Before detoxifying him, she really had to solve the food problem by herself. When she first married into the palace, she even had to pawn her worthless dowry in exchange for food and clothing...
He was aware of the things done by the big kitchen. Although he did not instruct them, he did know those things and did not stop them. Therefore, it can be said that he acquiesced...
Thinking of those things before, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and his eyes looked at her with guilt and pity. The coldness in his eyes quietly faded away, replaced by a soft color that no one noticed...
She ate deliciously and took food very seriously. Her little appearance actually made him feel a little cute. Maybe he really had a crush on her?
Watching her stir the bowl with her chopsticks from time to time to pick up the disturbing sour bamboo shoots, and sometimes she frowned delicately, as if the sour bamboo shoots were hindering her enjoyment of the food.
He couldn't help but reach out for another pair of chopsticks, intending to pick out the sour bamboo shoots in the bowl for her little by little, to prevent her from accidentally eating those sour bamboo shoots and getting a stomachache later.
Both of them were stunned when they moved together.
Wu Zechen didn't expect that he would do such a thing. How had he ever served others food like this? But he surprisingly didn't feel repulsed? !
Xia Luotong was also surprised, and even wondered what the cold-faced prince meant by this move.
She said with a slight hesitation: "You want to eat too? Do you want to eat these sour bamboo shoots?"
Seeing the uncertainty in the eyes of the person in front of him, Wu Zechen's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible embarrassment, but fortunately, his face had no expression all year round, so there was nothing unusual about it.
So he responded accordingly: "Well, seeing as you enjoy the food, let's give it a try."
Wu Zechen never thought that he would have such a day...
Xia Luotong didn't expect that this was the reason. He pushed the bowl forward without hesitation and said, "Then let's eat together."
The tone was extremely natural, as if there was nothing wrong with this move, and he continued to eat happily after speaking.
Wu Zechen was paused by her actions. The reason was simple, because two people were eating the same bowl of noodles, and she had just picked up the soup and drank it.
He didn't feel disgusted at all, but was surprised by her... informality.
Seeing the person in front of him pouting his red lips and blowing air on the steaming face in front of him, his eyes gradually darkened.
Has she ever had dinner with other men like this? Sharing the same bowl of food with other men?
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, he focused his eyes on the bowl in front of him again, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up some sour bamboo shoots and put it into his mouth.
It wasn't as delicious as expected, and there was no question of whether he liked it or disliked it. In his opinion, it was just edible food.
But what surprised him the most was that during the whole process, he didn't feel any discomfort or resistance at all, and he just naturally ate the food from the same bowl that she had eaten.
This has also never happened before...
The balance of hesitation in my heart seemed to be tilted a little.
With this thought, Wu Zechen picked out all the sour bamboo shoots in the bowl and ate them bit by bit, then quietly looked at Xia Luotong who was still fighting, and thought again about the wedding banquet.
"Sorry, I didn't know you couldn't eat spicy food before. The last wedding banquet made you uncomfortable." It seemed that after apologizing for the sachet incident last time, he didn't find it so difficult to apologize now.
Xia Luotong was stunned, obviously not expecting that Wu Zechen would apologize to him for this matter, let alone that he would notice that she had an upset stomach at that time.
But because of his apology, she changed her view of him.
It seems that this cold-faced prince is not such an annoying person, but his eyes are not very good, and he actually fell in love with such a duplicitous woman. He obviously seems to be a very smart person, but he still has trouble with beauty. !
And once he meets that woman, his IQ seems to plummet, which is really frustrating.
Xia Luotong complained in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "It doesn't matter, we have never had dinner together. It's normal that you don't know. I didn't blame you, so don't take it seriously."
Wu Zechen looked at the obviously more sincere smile on her face and couldn't help but feel slightly relieved. It seemed that his move was correct.
Unexpectedly, she then said something else: "You actually noticed that I had an upset stomach. I didn't expect that you were quite careful."
She went back to her house that day and didn't know that Mu Jinyu and Mr. Xu later used the medicine residue for analysis. Naturally, she didn't know that Mu Jinyu had actually discovered her stomach pain.
Wu Zechen felt embarrassed for the first time, but he didn't want to say that he actually didn't find out at all, it was Mu Jinyu who found out.
Xia Luotong didn't pay much attention to this matter. What he just said was just a casual mention. After saying that, he lowered his head and continued eating noodles, so he didn't notice the embarrassment in Wu Zechen's eyes.
The carriage drove all the way back to Prince An's Mansion. During this period, Xia Luotong was busy eating noodles. He couldn't finish the noodles until the carriage arrived at the Prince's Mansion, and then went back to his house.
As for Wu Zechen, he didn't say anything after that. He locked himself in the study for most of the next day, not allowing any servants to disturb him. Even Mu Jinyu didn't know what he was thinking about.
During this period, Mu Jinyu went into the study once. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Wu Zechen standing with his hands behind his hands, standing in front of the window and quietly looking outside, frowning in thought, his concentration made Mu Jinyu think that He was thinking about something important, so he didn't bother him anymore. Instead, he quietly withdrew and went directly to chat with Xia Luotong.
However, what Mu Jinyu did not notice was that the direction Wu Zechen was looking at was exactly the direction of the house where Xia Luotong currently lived...
