Chapter 1417 - Support

She frowned again. “Your wife?”

The other party didn’t say anything else.

Bailey frowned. “I don’t care who you are. How did you get in?”

There was still no response to her question.

“You guys…”

She was about to chase them away when Shen Fanxing walked in with another person.

“Brother Xiuwen…” Seeing her brother walking with Shen Fanxing, Bei Lei’s eyes narrowed.

Xiu Wen walked up to her, his handsome face exuding coldness.

His gaze landed on her and he said coldly, “Move aside.”

“Brother Xiuwen! This woman bullied me! Why did you bring her back?!”

Bei Xi was indignant. She was in a sorry state and the sight of Shen Fanxing annoyed her. She was about to leave, but why did Brother Xiuwen bring her back?

Xiu Wen ignored her and said to Shen Fanxing,

“These are all Mr Bo’s intentions. I understand what happened just now. I’m sorry.”

Shen Fanxing smiled and looked at the Chinese dishes in front of her. Almost all the famous dishes were served.

How powerful was he? Could he even support her in Country Y?

After Xiu Wen finished speaking, the chef said,

“Madam, Master said that the food from the royal family will definitely not suit your taste. He said that you must not make do with it.”

Her words were vague and fluent in English, but they accurately expressed what she wanted to express.

In his eyes, the royal family’s meal was just a last resort.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bei Xi gritted her teeth and glared at Shen Fanxing, wishing she could bore a hole in her.

How dare he look down on the royal family?!

Shen Fanxing smiled and her gaze swept across the dishes on the table. She raised an eyebrow and her gaze swept across the artists in the banquet hall.

“Teachers, Chinese cuisine. If you don’t mind, let’s eat together.”

Looking at the amount of food in front of her, she knew that Bo Jinchuan hadn’t prepared it for her alone.

She naturally understood what he meant.

All the artists could tell that someone was supporting Star. Judging from the weight, it was obviously an invitation.

Moreover, it was a world-renowned Chinese cuisine. Most of them had only heard of it but had never eaten it before.

Speaking of which, she was quite curious.

“Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony then.”

“I want to try it too!”

Everyone slowly gathered around. There were pairs of chopsticks on a silver plate. As they ate, they learned how to use the chopsticks. Occasionally, there would be exclamations and laughter.

The purpose of having a meal in China was to be lively and happy.

The atmosphere now was harmonious just by looking at it.

“Can I eat some too?” A voice sounded beside her. Xiu Wen lowered his head to look at Shen Fanxing. Although his dark blue eyes were cold, they were filled with anticipation.

Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “Of course.”

Xiu Wen’s lips twitched slightly. He turned around and walked to the dining table to get some food.

Looking at Xiu Wen, who was mixed in the crowd, Bei Xi’s eyes reddened.

“Sister! What does Brother Xiuwen mean?! I just said that Shen Fanxing isn’t worthy of the royal family’s food and he turned around to eat the food specially prepared for Shen Fanxing?!”

Bailey looked at Shuwen and pursed her lips tightly.

“What do you mean? He’s helping others slap your face. Can’t you tell?”

Bei Xi was angry and aggrieved. “Why?! Why did he help an outsider bully us?!”

Bailey didn’t say anything. She felt uneasy.

She couldn’t stay here any longer and her footsteps were a little flustered.

The chef had prepared dinner for Shen Fanxing. The taste was naturally what she wanted.

Xiu Wen sat opposite Shen Fanxing and watched as she ate with relish. He then looked at the bright red chili peppers on the plates in front of her.

“If you like this dish, then the royal dishes might really not suit your taste.”

Shen Fanxing didn’t stand on ceremony and replied, “Yes, I’m indeed forcing myself to not starve.”

Xiu Wen lowered his head and ate a mouthful of food. “I’ve never seen Mr Bo treat anyone so carefully. You’re definitely the first. You’re very lucky.”

“I think so too.” She had always felt that way. After meeting Ah Chuan, she suddenly felt that all the unfairness she had suffered in the past was insignificant.

After taking two bites, Xiu Wen took out a napkin and wiped his mouth gently. He sat opposite Shen Fanxing and watched her eat quietly.

When Shen Fanxing was almost done eating, he said, “Your appetite seems to have increased compared to when you were in France.”

Shen Fanxing wiped her mouth and glanced at the plate in front of him. There was still a lot left.

Her lips twitched and she asked, “Is that all I have?”

Xiu Wen smiled apologetically as he understood what Shen Fanxing meant.

It seemed…

It was just a matter of taste.

His taste buds had been used to Western food since he was young, so no matter how good the Chinese food was, he couldn’t accept it immediately.

Similarly, compared to the traditional Chinese food she ate in France, Chinese food was obviously more to her liking. It was natural for her to eat more.

After Bei Lei left the restaurant, she started looking for Ye Jingyun.

She turned around and saw her and Yuan Zhengchong by the fountain.

“Mom!”

The two of them seemed to be discussing something serious. After hearing Bailey’s voice, Ye Jingyun turned to look at her unhappily.

“Why are you panicking?”

It was rare for her to see Bailey so flustered and helpless. Although she looked fine on the surface, the voice just now exposed her current mood.

“What’s going on?”

Bei Lei pulled Ye Jingyun aside and asked, “Mom… when did Brother Xiuwen become so close to Shen Fanxing?”

Ye Jingyun frowned. “What?”

“Brother Xiuwen seemed to be very familiar with Shen Fanxing at the restaurant…”

“The two of them are close. What has that got to do with you?”

Bailey bit her lip. “I’m wondering if Brother Xiuwen knows something.”

“Impossible! If he knew, how could he not do anything? He would have found a way to get them back…”

Ye Jingyun was very confident about this matter. She cared so much about Ji Fengmian and Shen Fanxing. No one knew better than her who was investigating them. She was sure that no one in the royal family knew their secret.

Bailey heaved a sigh of relief. That was indeed the case…

But why did she feel uneasy?

“Alright, alright. I’ve never seen the two of them interact before. As long as this state banquet passes safely, there’s nothing to worry about in the future. Why is Xiuwen at the restaurant? You guys… didn’t cause any trouble, right?”
