Chapter 297: Invite (Three)
Chapter 297: Invite (Three)
Jiang Hao’s invitation made Yu Qing Qian a little helpless. Why did they all have all the same plans as these people today?
Except Xie Feng Zhi among them, they were all friendly towards her. Since Jiang Hao had already invited her, then if they met again at night after refusing, it’d be a slap in the face.
“Sure! This is my first time coming to Central City. I’ve heard about the reputation of the Underground Palace and want to check it out.”
Seeing Yu Qing Qian agreeing, Jiang Hao smiled happily and said: “The Underground Palace is by no means an empty name. It will certainly not disappoint Junior Sister Yu tonight.”
“Yeah! I’ve been to the underground Palace twice, and there’s something special each time I go. Junior Sister Yu will definitely not be disappointed.” Li Wu said with a smile on his face.
“Mm, hearing what you said makes me look forward to it even more.” Yu Qing Qian nodded with a smile.
During the conversation, the delicious dishes were served one after another.
Yu Qing Qian also had a bit of a smile. Just by smelling the scent, she knew that the reputation of the food here was indeed well-deserved.
When the dishes were all served, they spoke less and ate slowly.
Feng Chen picked up a piece of silverfish with his chopsticks, picked out the spines, then placed it into Yu Qing Qian’s bowl. His movements were natural and smooth, as if he had done it many times.
Yu Qing Qian habitually picked up the fish and put it in her mouth. A sweet and tender feeling spread, which opened up her taste buds, “This fish is indeed delicious.”
Feng Chen put the fish meat that had been picked out again into her bowl and chuckled: “Eat more if you like it.”
These subconscious actions between the two actually stemmed from their childhood habits.
Back then, Yu Qing Qian was very weak. Besides her usual hard and tough training, she wouldn’t stand if she could sit, or sit if she could lie down.
In addition, she’d stay with Feng Chen all day long and liked to ask him to do things often, such as peeling tangerines, picking fish bones, peeling shrimp and the like.
Feng Chen wasn’t bothered to pay attention to her at first, but Yu Qing Qian’s persistent and annoying energy made Feng Chen helpless and gradually accepted her, then slowly developed many habits.
The two of them didn’t think anything of it as they had developed this habit, but to the four people at the table, it looked rather terrifying.
They had no idea that the cold, indifferent Feng Chen—who usually only knew how to cultivate, study plant inscriptions, and forge—had such a considerate and tender side, which almost blinded them!
Seeing that Feng Chen was skilled in every move, Xie Feng Zhi’s gaze revealed disbelief, and the strength she used while holding the chopsticks almost broke them.
Che Fei Fei naturally discovered Xie Feng Zhi’s abnormality and felt inwardly amused. This woman was usually too self-righteous, and had long classified Feng Chen as her own—to think she’d also experience such frustration.
She and Xie Feng Zhi were on good terms on the surface, but privately, they had long held deep grudges. She was very happy to see Xie Feng Zhi and Feng Chen miss each other.
In fact, in Che Fei Fei’s view, although Xie Feng Zhi’s status and background were worthy of Feng Chen, but her temperament and character really weren’t suitable for being the crown princess of Feng Li Kingdom.
As expected, Feng Chen wasn’t emotionless because of his cold temper, but because he wasn’t interested in Xie Feng Zhi, hence his indifference.
“Junior Brother Feng and Junior Sister Yu looks like you’ve known each other for a long time, you’ve got such a good relationship!” Che Fei Fei praised with a smile.
This wasn’t a test, but her genuine feelings.
Not to mention her, even the other three present felt that the tacit understanding between Feng Chen and Yu Qing Qian seemed to have been cultivated for many years.
“We’ve known each other since we were young, so our relationship’s naturally very good.” Feng Chen, who had been silent for the whole time, raised his head and said.
It wasn’t difficult to find out that he had gone to Jin wang’fu of Da Yan Kingdom to ask Yu Jing for treatment when he was a child, and there was no need to hide it deliberately either.
