Chapter 42 - Meeting the Parents (Part 1) (2/2)

Although a simple meal could not equate to what he had done for the youngest member of their family, the Xia Family still wanted to show their deepest gratitude.

Thus, Di Yi and Di Er were dumbfounded as they suddenly found themselves being ushered inside the dining room.

”Um...”

”Excus—”

They were not even given a chance to decline before Madam Xia practically dragged them to their seats.

Knowing that they would not be able to leave unless they accepted their generosity, Di Yi and Di Er decided to just go with the flow and sat at the table.

Seated opposite them were Master Xia, Madam Xia and Xia Jinhu. On the other hand, Xia Jiannan sat right next to Di Yi, much to Di Er's dislike.

The long dining table was full of various mouthwatering dishes that looked extremely appetizing.

This so-called ”simple breakfast” was actually nothing close to the word simple as it was much more of a banquet.

”You should definitely try this! It's the specialty dish of our Chef!” Madam Xia cheerfully skipped over to serve Di Yi and Di Er adobo [1].

The bright smile plastered on Madam Xia's face made her look a lot younger than she really was.

”How is it? Does it taste good?”

Di Yi was not totally unfamiliar with Philippine dishes as she had stayed in Philippines for a few years. But she was actually surprised to see such food here.

”It tastes just as delicious as the native one.” Di Yi genuinely complimented.

Madam Xia thought that they did not know about adobo so she had introduced it to them, hence, she was quite surprised by Di Yi's response.

”Is it really?” Madam Xia was getting excited by the second. ”Our chef is actually a Filipino! Would you like to meet him some other time?”

As the two of them spoke to each other, the males in the room could only munched silently on their own food, not daring to interrupt their conversation.

It was not until Di Yi had almost finished the food on his plate that Madam Xia paused her chattering.

”You should eat more! You're too skinny and pale! Besides, you'll need a lot of energy to perform your duty!” Madam Xia urged while putting more and more food on Di Yi's plate.

The four males inside the room were practically treated like air.
