C32 You Feed Me
C32 You Feed Me
His fingers tickled Ning Xia's palm as a prank, causing her an itch, and she almost screamed. Reflexively, she wanted to retract her hand, but Pei Yichen just held on tightly and didn't give her the chance to escape.
Ning Xia stared angrily at Pei Yichen. What was he trying to do?!
Pei Yichen smiled and motioned her to speak.
Ning Xia asked incredulous, also with her eyes. Are you sure?
Since she wasn't familiar with anyone here, speaking at this moment, wasn't the same as firing a loaded gun?
She looked at Pei Yichen, but his eyes were unwavering and had a hint of warning, so she nervously turned to Old Master Pei.
"Um, grandpa, can we eat? "I'm a little hungry …"
She thought her reason for speaking was not too good, but when Old Master Pey heard that, he instantly smiled, "Alright, our little girl is hungry. Let's eat now."
Ning Xia was surprised that Old Master Pei saved her face, but the others were even more surprised. They looked at her with different feelings.
Seeing the old man taking the chopsticks, Ning Xia elegantly picked up hers, her posture straight. Whether it was drinking water or choosing food, she was very calm and restrained.
These were lessons that Mother Ning has been teaching Ning Jing when they were young. She learned it too while standing in the background and serving tea. Although she did not have the opportunity to apply them, it couldn't go wrong to know the etiquette on formal occasions.
These manners were already deeply assimilated.
When Pei Yichen saw Ning Xia acting like this, he was really surprised. He did not forget how she behaved in front of him before, including throwing a tantrum, wolfing down her food, choking and hiccuping.
It was as if she had become a completely different person. At this moment, Ning Xia did not look like a small employee, but rather like a rich young lady who had an excellent upbringing.
The surprise that Ning Xia brought him was very pleasant. She really is not ordinary.
Pei Yichen picked up a prawn, peeled it, and placed it on Ning Xia's plate. The two of them seemed very intimate and looked especially pleasing to the eyes.
Needless to say, Old Master Pei felt rewarded in his heart and was very pleased seeing this scene.
Pei Shijie initially thought that she was showing goodwill and was trying to be friendly, just to get herself out of a predicament. But now that she was with Pei Yichen like this, he didn't understand anymore, what exactly were her feelings right now?
At this moment, Ning Xia had no time to care about others. Pei Yichen's actions had unsettled her. It was the first time in a while since someone has peeled a shrimp for her to eat!
Her nose was a little sour. What should she do?
She knew it was a lie, a mere act, but she couldn't control her emotions.
She bit her lip to calm herself down. "I'll do it myself."
A fake is a fake. No matter how it looks to be true, no matter how good the act is, no matter how moving it is, it is still a fake.
"Shrimp shells are hard, you'll break your nails."
Pei Yichen smiled gently and continued to peel it for her.
In the quiet dining hall, the two of them whispered softly to each other. Actually, everyone could hear their conversation very clearly.
Old Master Pei was smiling widely. Seeing his usually cold grandson caring for a woman, he felt like hugging him.
He didn't forget what Pei Yichen said: "Grandfather, Ning Xia is indeed my assistant, but she is was also the Second Miss of the Ning Family, the one you arranged for me. It's just that Pei Shijie doesn't know, and wants to use her to spy on me, so I took advantage of this matter, waiting for him to show his hand. I hope you will keep this secret for me".
Although Pei Yichen employed some tricks, Old Master Pei hoped that he would be able to play his part in the drama. It would also be good if he could be together with this little lady.
Ning Xia was a little embarrassed by his attitude, but she couldn't do anything about it so she endured silently.
Nevermind, since there was someone peeling the prawns, she would just enjoy it. It's not like she forced anyone. He was the one who volunteered to do it!
In addition, she also had to pay a price.
Ning Xia found herself countless excuses, and then ate up all the shrimps that he peeled.
Seems that there are some things that should be enjoyed as they came, and which could not be explained through the act of cooperation alone.
For example, the always cold and irritable Pei Yichen would smile whenever he was with her. He would even consider peeling prawns and attending to her personally.
The other two women at the table looked at Ning Xia with some envy. Although Pei Yichen was a disabled man and didn't have much power, sometimes what women wanted was just affection.
Pei Yichen was in a very good mood. Seeing Ning Xia eating well, lowered the guilt of using her.
"I'm full, don't peel anymore."
Ning Xia had already eaten half of the prawns. Even if she loved to eat, she couldn't finish it all by herself. Moreover, this was her first family reunion, so she didn't want these people to think that she was petty.
"Then you feed me."
Pei Yichen didn't even raise his head as he continued to peel the prawns. He placed them on Ning Xia's plate, and when he spoke, he scared Ning Xia so much that she almost fell off her chair. Isn't that raising the standard a bit too much?
A show of love in front of an elder?
Isn't it too much?
"Ah!
However, it was clear that someone did not feel that this was excessive.
Seeing him looking at her with such an eager expression, Ning Xia was facing a dilemma. In front of so many people, if a dignified CEO like him didn't receive a response, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Ning Xia sighed in her heart, resigned to her fate, picked up a prawn, put on some sauce, and stuffed it into Pei Yichen's mouth.
Pei Yichen's eyes lit up, and he smiled at her softly.
Ning Xia's hands trembled and she hurriedly retracted her chopsticks. Her face was flushed.
This fellow was doing it on purpose!
Seeing Ning Xia's bashful expression, Pei Yichen smiled lightly and forcefully swallowed the prawn in his mouth. He didn't like to eat sauce.
When the crowd saw that Pei Yichen actually swallowed it, they were really shocked. They never thought that Pei Yichen, who was cold and aloof, would pamper a girl to such an extent!
It seemed that the Ten Thousand Years Dark Ice was about to melt.
If Old Master Pei's attitude made them respect Ning Xia a little and not underestimate her, then Pei Yichen's attitude made them have a strong curiosity towards her. What kind of girl was able to tame Pei Yichen?
