Chapter 403: Chapter 390: The Old Rascal

“This…”

Staring at the bowl full of various dishes piled up like a small mountain, Fan Wenxuan’s face turned paler and paler.

Chu Jinnian going all-out to serve him dishes?

Firstly, it can be ruled out that he genuinely cares about him.

Secondly, it can be ruled out that he wants to choke him to death.

Lastly…

By bringing Chu Jinzhou up the mountain, they merely wanted to enjoy the scenery and admire the red leaves. It was purely an accident that they encountered danger, and it was not his fault. Furthermore, upon returning, Chu Jinnian did not show any signs of dislike towards him. So it probably wasn’t because of what happened to Chu Jinzhou.

Hence, Jinnian must think he was talking too much earlier and needed to stuff his mouth with more food to shut him up!

This Chu Jinnian, he is such a busybody. He just wanted to take the opportunity to chat and introduce some of his students in front of Zhuang Qingning. It would make things easier when he wants to pull the strings behind the scenes in the future. He didn’t expect that this would upset him and prompt him to interfere.

This is too much!

Fan Wenxuan was furious, but he couldn’t vent his anger on Chu Jinnian. So he had no choice but to decimate and ravage the food in the bowl before him.

Zhuang Qingning watched the scene, sighing.

Chu Jinnian had tremendous respect for Mr. Fan.

But looking at Mr. Fan’s noticeable unhappiness, she wondered what footings they had in the past that led Mr. Fan to hold strong prejudices against Chu Jinnian.

It just didn’t make sense.

Zhuang Qingning blinked and put a delicious piece of ham from the bowl into her mouth.

The meal ended under a bizarre atmosphere.

Today’s incidents frightened everyone and as it was dinner, everyone was somewhat exhausted.

Especially Chu Jinzhou and Zhuang Qingsui, two little guys who were incredibly sleepy. However, because they were worried that Zhuang Qingning was still unconscious, they dared not sleep. Now their eyelids were heavy; they couldn’t help but yawn again and again.

The servants hastily arranged for the two to have their rest separately. Particularly Zhuang Qingsui, who was placed in the same courtyard with Zhuang Qingning, in adjacent guest rooms.

After she and Gancao had packed up and saw Zhuang Qingsui asleep, Zhuang Qingning finally left the bedside.

“Miss Zhuang, you should rest. We are here to take care of her. Please be assured,” Gancao said. “I will be here keeping a night vigil, if you need anything tonight, just call me.”

“Thank you,” Zhuang Qingning politely thanked her, took a sip of the tea Gancao had handed over, and then walked into her room.

Thinking about Fan Wenxuan’s words at the dinner table earlier, inviting her to see some kingfisher paintings or something, Zhuang Qingning estimated that someone might be coming to deliver a message later, so she just waited at the table.

However, after waiting and waiting, there was no one.

It seemed that Mr. Fan just mentioned it in passing, and Zhuang Qingning didn’t take it to heart.

Although it is late into the night, the lanterns in the courtyard outside have been extinguished a couple of times, Zhuang Qingning is still very spirited.
