Chapter 534: Chapter 521: Secret Delight
“Master, should I give an order to serve dinner?” Jing Zhao asked.
“I’ve been so engrossed in my conversation with Miss Zhuang that I almost forget it’s time to eat,” laughed Chu Jinnian, “Let’s have dinner then.”
“Okay,” Jing Zhao replied, intending to send someone to invite Chu Jinzhou and the others to join them for dinner.
“Oh, did you say earlier when you were serving tea that Jinzhou and the others prefer to eat in their courtyard and don’t feel like coming over for dinner?”
Chu Jinnian raised an eyebrow, “Just like children. When they start playing, they forget about everything else. Even Mr. Fan, who usually indulges them, does nothing to stop them. He becomes like a kid himself, only wanting to eat alone, also not caring if Miss Zhuang is here or not.”
“Well, well, well, if they wish to eat on their own, then let them be. Just send their meals over to them. For us, only send the dishes that Miss Zhuang and I are going to eat.”
????
Did he just say that Chu Jinzhou and their group had asked to eat separately, not with them?
On the contrary, when he had left to prepare the tea earlier, he had heard Chu Jinzhou and the others loudly discussing how they were going to have dinner with Chu Jinnian and Miss Zhuang…
But now, Chu Jinnian is saying this… what is he up to?
Jing Zhao was startled for a moment.
Seeing this, Chu Jinnian’s eyebrows raised, “Just tell Jinzhou and the others that it’s no problem if they want to eat alone, I won’t be upset because of it.”
The word ‘upset’ was emphasized.
That is to say if they failed to handle this…
Jing Zhao snapped back to reality, a chill sweeping across his back, “Yes, I’ll go right now.”
Finishing his sentence, he hurried off to Chu Jinzhou’s courtyard.
Chu Jinnian’s expression softened, showing a hint of guilt, “Jinzhou is my fault. I’ve spoiled him too much, which made him increasingly willful. Miss Zhuang, please don’t take it to heart.”
“Jinzhou is smart and sensible, usually very polite. I guess it’s due to Qingsui and the others messing around that he cannot help it. This boy has also been spoiled by me and is getting more and more unruly,” Zhuang Qingning also laughed embarrassingly.
“Well, just let them be. Luckily we are not unfamiliar with each other, so there’s no need for such formalities. As long as the kids are happy. Without them fooling around, our dinner will be more peaceful.”
Chu Jinnian put on a teasing, self-mocking look, to which Zhuang Qingning deliberately teased back, “That’s true. Without them, our meal will be more peaceful. Maybe during dinner, I could eat half a bowl more rice than usual.”
Their friendly banter was full of playful charm, causing Chu Jinnian’s eyes to curve into crescents.
Like jade, the gentleman stands unmatched in the world.
His fair complexion was already very handsome. When he smiled, the corners of his mouth curved into a pleasant arc. The smile on his lips carried a gentle warmth, radiating striking beauty.
At that moment, Zhuang Qingning didn’t know what words to use to describe the handsome man before her. His lifted lips curved even more, and her eyes refused to leave his face.
“Miss Zhuang, you’ve been staring at me this whole time. Is there something dirty on my face?” Chu Jinnian asked with a smile.
“No, it’s just that Master Chu is very handsome,” Zhuang Qingning laughed.
That’s the truth. If you’re good-looking, anyone would naturally want to take a second look.
Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli, these two kids, claim to like Chu Jinnian’s classes because he teaches well. But I bet the real reason is that looking at Chu Jinnian is much more enjoyable compared to looking at Fan Wenxuan.
Good-looking?
