C51 (1/2)

Guan Shuyuan, who was sitting beside her, couldn't bear to part with her at the thought of over a thousand silver taels. She quietly pulled her sleeve, signalling her to stop. Don't offend this old man.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Chen Nianran bit his breath and brought the bowl of soup to his mouth.

After barely sending the bowl of soup down, Zhou Aoxuan clapped his hands and said, ”I knew you would like it. Come, give me another bowl.”

His excited face was shining, his dark eyes overflowed with light, and the cheerful expression in his eyes was one that Chen Nianran had never seen before. Perhaps it was the pleasure of his expression that puzzled her, and by the time she realized what the man had done, it was too late to stop him.

She stared at the large bowl of black soup in front of her, looked at the dishes on the table, then looked at the cheerful man who was staring at her … Should he drink it or not? With such a huge table full of dishes, there were also Bear's Palm, Swan, and Swallow's Nest … The heck, she wouldn't be able to eat them all. She wanted nothing more than to swim in the sea and fly in the sky.

She couldn't be so passive anymore. She gave Zhou Aoxuan a bright smile, gently pushing her bowl to the side. ”This soup …” This is not bad at all. It is rare for Fifth Young Master to be so considerate towards a girl like me for half a day. So, this soup, I decided, a place to put it back for supper. As for now, can the girl eat these dishes? ”

As she spoke, she greedily licked her lips. His eyes almost popped out when he saw the dishes.

Seeing such an obvious greedy look, Guan Shuyuan covered her face. Heavens, her family had always known where the polite and enlightened lass had gone to. The woman in front of him who looked like she hadn't eaten anything in eight lifetimes was definitely not her little girl.

Zhou Aoxuan choked. In the end, he still waved his hand, indicating that she could eat.

Therefore, the girl who was supposed to wait on the young master began to eat.

Guan Shuyuan saw that the Fifth Young Master was only focused on her and had forgotten to eat his food, hence she coughed.

Chen Nianran was holding a big piece of meat in her hands and was about to put it in his mouth, but when she saw Guan Shuyuan coughing, she quickly turned and placed the dish into her bowl, ”Aunty, it's delicious, didn't you spend a lot of silver just because you felt bad about it? The cost of the cauliflower on this table is more than ten times what you bought in the city. ”Therefore, these good things cannot be wasted. We must finish eating them before we can save.”

Guan Shuyuan's brows jumped, and she couldn't help but ask her softly, ”This dish... Is it really that expensive? ” She spent around 10 silver on this trip to the city. She had spent so much for just these ten silver taels that it hurt her heart.

The dishes on the table must not be worth more than a hundred taels of silver, according to the girl! Heavens, a table of dishes cost more than a hundred liang, Guan Shuyuan felt like her head was about to go dizzy.

Chen Nianran's mouth did not open once, and her chopsticks did not stop either. While carrying the dishes for him, she did not forget to carry the dishes for Chen Ziming and the others.

”Aunty, how about I say that when we have food this time, we must definitely feast on the sea, so that we can properly receive Fifth Young Master's hospitality? Well, I'll say this. I reckon fifty taels of silver isn't enough to eat. And this swan meat, it should be around the same price. ”As for this Black Dragon soup, it's probably around twenty taels. There's also this …”

Every time Chen Nianran reported a dish, Guan Shuyuan's eyebrows would twitch.

And every time she said a price, she would force a big chopstick into the bowl. Ye Zichen counted and saw how much silver he could get today …

Chen Ziming pulled her, hoping that his woman would stop messing around with the little girl. Then, how could Guan Shuyuan, who was befuddled by the sky-high price, care about her man? Right now, she only has one thought in his mind, and that is if I eat more, then I will eat more silver. A single chopstick could be worth a few taels of silver. Don't eat... If she allowed the Jiu family to take it back, it would be a waste! What a waste! The cliff was a shame!

Seeing that he could not persuade these two devilish women, Chen Ziming could only apologetically smile towards Zhou Ao Xuan. The latter just calmly sat there and watched the two eat.

In the end, Guan Shuyuan still ate half of it, and felt that things were not going well at all. Afterwards, she found out that Chen Nianran had been carrying food for them, but she did not let Zhou Ao Xuan take it.

In pain, Chen Nianran raised her head to look at her only to see Guan Shuyuan pouting towards Zhou Ao Xuan, using her eyes to sweep the dishes on the table. This damn girl, you're here to ask for money, so don't say that I'm betraying you. I can see that Fifth Young Master has treated you pretty well. You dare to treat him badly? How can we take the money back?

He took a big piece of chopsticks and said, ”Young master, you should eat more of this, it'll be cold if you eat more.” ”There's more of this, you should eat more. Ai, look how thin you are now young master, if you don't eat more fat fish, how will you grow and lose weight in the future?”

Zhou Aoxuan glanced at her indifferently, slowly taking the food in her bowl and putting it in her mouth.

He didn't put down the chopsticks until he finished the bowl of food. At this moment, only a third of the dishes on the table remained. Guan Shuyuan hugged her swollen stomach, and sighed continuously as she looked at the one-third of the dishes.

”Ai, there is still about fifty taels of silver left. This is silver after all, how can it be wasted like this?”
