âIâm sorry, I apologize to you, donât be angry anymore!â
Xiao Yeyang nudged Daohuaâs arm, looking at her somewhat pitifully.
Daohua glanced at him, took a sip of tea, âXiao Yeyang, I accept your apology, Iâm not angry anymore.â
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyangâs face lit up with joy, and just as he was about to take a sip of his tea, he heard Daohua speak again.
âXiao Yeyang, I am a person who takes things seriously. If thereâs something you cannot do in the future, never mention it to me, because if you do, you must follow through.â
Seeing Daohuaâs serious face, Xiao Yeyang looked deeply into her eyes and nodded solemnly.
Seeing his nod, Daohua smiled brightly, âAlright, letâs put that behind us and order some food. I hardly ate anything this morning before coming out, and now I am hungry.â
Xiao Yeyang also smiled, knocked on the table, and the room door was opened from the outside.
Defu and Wang Manman came in, both smiling.
âMaster, Miss Yan, here is the menu.â
Defu was very perceptive, directly handing the menu to Daohua.
Daohua spoke while looking through the menu, âToday is a festival, I should order more so that my cousins can have a good meal.â As she said this, she suddenly looked up at Wang Manman, âWhere are Sister Zixuan and the others?â
Wang Manman was speechless in her heart.
My dear girl, you finally remember your noble cousins.
âIn the private room next door.â
Daohua patted her head, quickly stood up, and made to leave.
Xiao Yeyang grabbed her, âWhere are you going?â
Daohua responded, âI forgot about Sister Zixuan and the others, of course, Iâm going to apologize.â
Xiao Yeyang didnât let go, instead looking at Defu, âPlease have the Li siblings come over.â
Soon, Li Chenyi and his siblings entered the private room.
Li Zixuan and Li Zixin hurried to Daohuaâs side, looking her up and down, âCousin, are you alright?â
Daohua, puzzled, âWhat could be wrong with me, I am fine!â She then waved at the standing Li Chenyi and his siblings, âCousins, sit down quickly. Iâve ordered a lot of dishes. In a moment, we should eat to our heartâs content.â
The Li siblings didnât move, instead, they looked at Xiao Yeyang.
Although Xiao Yeyang wanted to spend time alone with Daohua, he knew it wasnât possible, so he immediately said to the Li siblings, âLetâs all sit down together.â
Seeing the hesitance in her cousinsâ faces, Daohua took matters into her own hands and pulled them to their seats.
âI heard this restaurantâs seafood and shrimp are especially fresh. I ordered a lot. Everyone must eat lots, itâs on me.â
Xiao Yeyang, seeing Daohuaâs eagerness and almost drooling, couldnât help but laugh out loud, feeling very good, he then teased the Li siblings.
âYiyi is a little rich lady, today we mustnât hold back with her, we have to make her spend a bit.â
Daohua tilted her chin up, brimming with boldness, âIâm not afraid youâll eat all my money! Eat as much as you want without worries.â She patted the purse at her waist, âIâve brought enough Silver.â
The Li siblings hadnât expected Xiao Yeyang to joke with them, and their expressions relaxed a bit, no longer as reserved as before.
It wasnât long before the dishes were served one after another.
Looking at the bright red spicy crayfish, Daohua couldnât help but swallow her saliva, âEveryone, eat up.â After speaking, she eagerly picked one up and put it in her mouth.
âYou havenât peeled the shell yet!â
Xiao Yeyang was startled seeing her like this, and promptly stretched out his hand to take the crayfish that was just put into her mouth, âHavenât you eaten shrimp before? You have to peel the shell first.â
Daohua: ââ¦I know it needs to be peeled, I was just tasting the flavor first.â
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her, âWhy are you so careless?â As he spoke, he looked toward De Fu, âBring over a basin of water for me, I need to wash my hands.â
De Fu turned and left swiftly.
Seeing Daohua staring eagerly at the shrimp, Xiao Yeyang picked up a pair of chopsticks and served her some sea fish, âThis sea fish is delicious and boneless, try it.â
With no other choice, Daohua started with the fish. After tasting it, her eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again, âDelicious.â
Seeing that she liked it, Xiao Yeyang served her another helping with his chopsticks.
After that, whenever Daohuaâs plate was nearly empty, Xiao Yeyang timely assisted her with more food.
Witnessing this scene, the Li siblings at the same table were somewhat dumbfounded.
They thought that spreading out the dishes was already unconventional, but after De Fu brought over the hot water and the Little Prince washed his hands, he actually started peeling shrimp for his cousin.
This left the Li siblings gaping in astonishment.
âChenyi, why are you just watching me eat? You should eat too!â
After finishing the shrimp Xiao Yeyang peeled for her, Daohua looked up and saw the Li siblings hadnât touched their chopsticks, so she immediately called out to them.
At that moment, Xiao Yeyang had just peeled another shrimp and placed it on Daohuaâs plate. When Daohua saw that Sister Zixuan hadnât moved, she casually placed the shrimp onto her plate.
âSister Zixuan, try this, itâs really tasty.â
Looking at the shrimp on her plate, Li Zixuan felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
Why?
Piercing stares from the Little Prince!
Just as her cousin placed the shrimp onto her plate, the Little Princeâs gaze shot over like a sharp sword.
Li Zixuan hurriedly took the serving chopsticks and moved the shrimp back onto Daohuaâs plate, âCousin, I donât like shrimp; you eat it.â
Not for anything would she dare to eat the shrimp peeled by the Little Prince.
Daohua paused, âThatâs not right. I heard from my second aunt that you love shrimp. Isnât it the case that Feng Liangji sends shrimp to your house every now and then because of this?â
Li Zixuan choked up, at a loss for what to say.
Just then, Xiao Yeyang peeled another shrimp and put the meat onto Daohuaâs plate, adding casually, âYou eat yours; your sister has probably had enough.â
Upon hearing this, Li Zixuan nodded quickly, âRight, Iâve had enough.â
Daohua said, âAlright then,â and turned to look at Li Zixin.
Li Zixin shuddered under her gaze, âYiyi, Iâve had enough too.â
Daohua was somewhat speechless, âWhatâs the matter, you all arenât eating; how can I finish all these dishes by myself?â As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Yeyang, who continued peeling shrimp.
âXiao Yeyang, you donât have to peel them for me; eat yourself.â
Xiao Yeyang looked up at her, âCan you peel them yourself?â
Daohua glanced at his greasy hands and decisively shook her head, âSince your hands are already dirty, just peel some more for me. Iâm not full yet.â
Xiao Yeyang curled his lips into a slight smile, âI knew you would say that, you who only know how to eat and not peel.â
Daohua smiled, unfazed by his teasing, and continued eating the shrimp meat. Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was peeling shrimp fast enough to keep up with her eating speed, she directly praised him.
âXiao Yeyang, I didnât expect this, but youâre really good at peeling shrimp. In the future, when I want to eat shrimp, I will definitely call on you. Then you have to peel shrimp for me again.â
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her, âYou sure do know how to boss me around.â
Daohua showed disapproval, âThis isnât bossing around; Iâm giving you a chance to show your gentlemanly conduct.â
âYes, yes, yes, I should thank you, Miss Yan.â
