Chapter 17 - 17. That was it.... (1/2)

The family of four plus the secretary were now having their lunch.

Qin Mo was still in shock and was not receiving signals from earth, he hadn't touched the food yet and has been staring into nothingness with a blank but stern gaze, he was doing this unconsciously.

Xia Jingyi was fidgeting on her seat beside him as she took occasional glances of the old man, she had been taking small bites of her food, now and then.

Feng Jiajie seated on the other side of the old man looked calm on the surface but he has been opening and closing his mouth like a fish for sometime now, it seems he wanted to say something but was unable to do so or didn't know what to say and as he took side glances to check the mood of his Master, he was nibbling on his food though, quite slowly.

The maids serving them had their heads down and were quite terrified to even breathe, it was rare for them to see such pressure from this family. It was really awkward la.

Qin Meilin on the other hand was a bit apathetic, even though, she could see the tense air surrounding the old couple, well, she did what she could and being the adults they were, they should be able to solve this on their own was her thought on the matter and though she was a bit irked by them, she kept her usual silence.

She was enjoying the lavish spread over the table, in her usual pace, as she placed food on her XuanXuan's plate from time to time, he hadn't eaten much since morning, she was a bit worried.

Qin ZiXuan, on the matter, was a bit troubled. He just couldn't ignore the atmosphere like his Linlin.

Even though he acted cordially with everyone, in the business world everyone knew of his coldness but he just couldn't act indifferent to his family now, right?

He knew that Linlin was a bit too rational when it came to matters that didn't concern him, even though she was very caring of her family needs and thrived to full fill them like today, she didn't know how to show it, her EQ was probably in the negatives.

As he took a bite of the sweet and sour pork, something Linlin had served to him just now and even though he like it a lot, in this atmosphere he just could relish it, a small sigh left his mouth.

Ah!! That was it. A vein popped out near her temple and she snapped.

The pressure she applied was enough to break the custom made chopsticks in her hand.

”Do the thinking after you are done with your food. Aunt Xiao and the rest didn't prepare it, for you guys to play with it!”

Ah!! She was definitely pissed, she appeared to be a poker faced aloof beauty but her temper was something everyone in and outside the family were scared of ba.

The three of them snapped out of it and slowly started eating their food, the tense atmosphere, for the time being, dispersed.

Qin ZiXuan just smiled, he was a bit glad now so, he went on to eat to his fullest, it's not always he got to eat homemade food these days ba.

Watching him enjoying his food, Qin Meilin smiled a bit.
