CHAPTER 146: CHAPTER 146: IS IT LOVE OR OBSESSION? (16)
This woman, ever since she got here, has been eating nothing but bean sprouts and greens. Is she a rabbit?
Finally, after Tang Yanqi slowly finished eating another piece of greens and was reaching for more, Sheng Jianan, unable to bear it anymore, placed a poached shrimp in her bowl.
Everyone instantly turned to look, only to see Tang Yanqi bewildered and Sheng Jianan looking grumpy.
Tang Yanqi didn’t expect Sheng Jianan to serve her food, but thinking again, if she acted disinterested, wouldn’t it make Young Master Sheng lose face?
Thinking this way, she understood, and Tang Yanqi smiled at Sheng Jianan, "Thank you."
She misunderstood Sheng Jianan’s intention and naturally went along with her interpretation of it. So now, with that smile, she added a touch of girlish teasing.
Sheng Jianan felt a mix of tension and relaxation in his heart, his mood improving significantly as his grumpy face gradually softened. However, this brightness didn’t last even a second before Young Master Sheng’s expression turned sour again.
Only to see Tang Yanqi lower her head, seriously remove the shrimp head, and then eat the rest with the shell.
Zhou Chengze, sitting nearby, naturally saw this and looked surprised, "Sis... Sister-in-law, you don’t peel the shell?"
Tang Yanqi took a napkin to wipe her mouth and solemnly said, "No need, I can chew it and it’s good for calcium."
Zhou Chengze: "..."
Young Master Zhou’s suffocated expression represented everyone’s reaction at the table.
A flicker of amusement and disbelief appeared in Sheng Jianan’s eyes. This theory, he genuinely heard for the first time.
Technically speaking, is there anything wrong with it? No, nothing wrong!
But... this woman...
Is she really a woman? Aren’t most people supposed to be delicately picky about the shells, complaining they affect the taste and all? How come with her it’s...
Sheng Jianan’s lips naturally curved into a smile he didn’t notice himself, but sitting directly across from him, Mu Yunfan observed it all, glanced at Tang Yanqi, and continued eating without a word.
Tang Yanqi thought everything would be over after dinner, although she felt much better, her body was still weak, and she really wanted to sleep, only managing to stay awake through the pain.
However, once they left the restaurant, Tang Yanqi realized they were going to another place to continue the gathering. She pinched her thigh hard, gritted her teeth, and followed along.
In the private room, the lighting was bright, playing graceful tunes that seemed out of place. Four men gathered around a table playing cards, Lin Duo sat obediently beside Xu Muyun, occasionally handing him a glass of water or chatting a bit, epitomizing the image of the good wife and loving mother.
Tang Yanqi mimicked her and sat beside Sheng Jianan. While eating, she had something to do that distracted her, but now just sitting there, she didn’t know how to play cards, couldn’t understand it, and the lingering effects of the medicine added to the late hour made her head start to nod off like a pecking chicken.
The awakening effect from the pain was also waning, and Tang Yanqi could only lower her head trying to hide her drooping eyelids. Suddenly, her nodding-off head fell right onto Sheng Jianan’s shoulder, giving Tang Yanqi a jolt of wakefulness.
She looked up, meeting Sheng Jianan’s gaze, and awkwardly pursed her lips, softly saying, "Sorry."
Sheng Jianan raised his eyebrows and, uncharacteristically patient, asked, "Sleepy?"
