Chapter 1156 - Do You… Have A Baby? (2/2)

“When you’re here, can you… tell me? We can have lunch together.” A couple of minutes later, the shy boy, Jiang Yuning, finally extended the invitation.

After lunch, Jiang Yuning dropped his chopsticks and said, “It’s so nice to have had lunch together with you. Can you please let me know when you’re here again? My treat.”

Then, he abruptly smiled like a little boy.

Nian Xi paused briefly. She didn’t understand why he was suddenly so happy.

“Oh, in France, when you were in jail, were you okay? I was gonna wait for you, but our director told us to come back.”

Her words made Jiang Yuning even happier.

It turned out that she was not a cold and unfeeling person.

“It was good. I just… felt uncomfortable in my heart, because I couldn’t see you.”

After saying that, he dropped his head again.

Nian Xi couldn’t help but want to rub his hair.

Then, I thought about it and realized it was a good thing. If I saw you, It would mean that you were in there with me,” Jiang Yuning continued with a low voice.

Nian Xi’s heart softened. “Just eat. The food is getting cold,” she hurriedly said to him.

Jiang Yuning finished the food he ordered, then stopped eating.

Nian Xi was the only one who was still eating.

Watching her eat a lot of crayfish, he couldn’t help furrowing his brows. At last, he reached out a hand and dragged the plate of crayfish to himself.

Nian Xi paused briefly with surprise. She recalled having crayfish together with Nian Junting and Luosang. Back then, her brother was still pursuing Luosang. He attentively removed crayfish sh.e.l.ls for Luosang. She was so jealous of Luosang at that time.

“He’s not gonna peel any crayfish for me, is he?” She thought, Does he know that I’d like that? Is he smart enough to do that?

Her eyes glowed. She started to look forward to it. But still, she pretended not to know what he was going to do.

“Why did you take away the plate? I’m still eating.”

Jiang Yuning shook his head and said, “Crayfish aren’t good for your health. They live in dirty water. My father often did experiments with them. They have heavy metal and parasites inside their bodies. I guess you never saw those parasites under microscopes. Crayfish are dirtier than the dirtiest trashcan in the world…”

“Enough. Stop!” Nian Xi’s face even turned green when she heard what he said, “I was expecting you to remove their sh.e.l.ls for me, but instead, you told me not to eat them.”

“I’m doing this for your own good,” seeing her serious face, Jiang Yuning was a little sad. “They are really filthy. Those restaurants out there don’t even wash them properly. My father showed me the news. They wash those crayfish with a kind of detergent, oxalic acid that is often used in factories. They’re highly harmful to human bodies. For the worst case…”

“Alright, alright, Nian Xi waved her hand. Eating together with a scientist could be annoying. Her brother had the same problem.

“First of all, these crayfish are bred, not wild. These are cleaner than wild crayfish. Second, I don’t eat them every day. This is the first time I had crayfish this month. They won’t make me sick if I only eat them once in a while, will they? Also, if you don’t want me to eat them in those restaurants, will you cook crayfish for me?”

Jiang Yuning widened his eyes, looked at her. “I don’t know how,” he said with a m.u.f.fled voice.

Nian Xi dragged the crayfish plate back to herself and said, “So don’t stop me. If you say one more word about this, I won’t eat with you again.”

“Again?” Jiang Yuning’s eyes glowed. “Will we have lunch together again?”

“When did I say that this is the last time we would be eating together?” Nian Xi felt a little awkward.

Jiang blinked, then responded shyly, “You didn’t.”
