C21 Embarrassment

Ning Xia glared fiercely at Pei Yichen. She really didn't expect that in the 21st century, there would still be someone who would have such a rigid mindset. He really thought of himself as the local tyrant!

"Pei Yichen, I really didn't expect that you would be so arbitrary and unreasonable even at home, you said that someone might poison the food, how can you let Uncle Wu, who is an old man, test your dishes? What if Uncle Wu ate it?"

Uncle Wu's gaze flickered and he was extremely touched, "Thank you for your concern, young mistress. Actually, I …"

"Uncle Wu, don't worry. With me here, I definitely won't let you do such a dangerous thing! "Don't be afraid. If worse comes to worst, we'll be chased out together by him. It's no big deal!"

Ning Xia didn't wait for Uncle Wu to finish speaking. She slapped the table and heroically protected Uncle Wu behind her, looking resolutely at Pei Yichen. No matter what, she won't let an old man do such a dangerous thing!

After all, he was a housekeeper who had worked hard in their house for many years, how could he be so heartless!

"Miss Ning Xia, you may have misunderstood …"

When Shen Heng arrived at the entrance of the dining room, he witnessed this scene and was so shocked that he almost forgot to enter.

"Huh?"

Ning Xia was confused by Shen Heng's words. She didn't know what he meant.

"My dad." Shen Heng pointed at Uncle Wu, who was being protected behind her, "He didn't want to test the dishes himself. He will put the dishes on the plate and feed the rabbit."

Ning Xia was taken aback. She turned to look, and sure enough, there was a fat rabbit in a cage behind Uncle Wu. It was just a little farther away. Plus, Uncle Wu was blocking the way, so she didn't see it.

This time, she was greatly embarrassed …

On the other hand, Pei Yichen was sitting calmly and gracefully poured himself a cup of water, enjoying her 'performance'…

Uncle Wu was in tears. Although it was a misunderstanding, he was still touched by the young mistress' protection. "Thank you, young mistress, for your compassion."

"Uncle Wu, I'm sorry, I didn't know …"

Ning Xia wished she could find a hole to hide in.

She sat down hesitantly and watched Uncle Wu "testing dishes", without saying a word.

Alas, impulsiveness is the devil, it's too late for regret, why didn't she ask first!

"Young Master, Young Mistress, there's no problem, we can start eating now."

After Uncle Wu tested the dish, he took away the fat rabbit.

Ning Xia knew she did something stupid, so she didn't touch the chopsticks and didn't dare to move either. She just sat there very reserved, feeling low.

Pei Yichen smiled, then picked up the closest vegetable with his chopsticks.

Ning Xia's mind stirred. At last she could start eating!

Faced with a table full of delicacies, she was so hungry!

But as she ate, another question popped up in her mind, "Assistant Shen, are you sure Uncle Wu is your father?"

Shen Heng smiled kindly, "My dad and he are best friends. Since I was young, I knew him as my godfather. My dad and mom are abroad all year round, so I spent most of my time with him."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Ning Xia nodded, picked up a large piece of fish and put it on her plate.

"Nothing can't stop me from eating."

Pei Yichen glanced at her and seeing how she was relishing her meal, he suddenly felt like mocking her.

Of course, Ning Xia knew that he was hinting at her meddling in other people's business, but she was just being straight and honest, so she didn't care what he thought!

Although it was just a misunderstanding, she also knew that the so-called Wealthy Class family wasn't something that a lowly commoner like her could envision.

She used to think that Ning Family was relatively rich and powerful, but compared to the Pei Family, they weren't even close. If they didn't feel sorry for their daughter, they would probably rush to climb on top using that relationship.

It had to be said that although Ning Family treated her unfairly, they were really good parents. They did not sacrifice their real daughter in a business relationship.

Ning Xia glanced at Pei Yichen stealthily and found that he had the appearance of an innate king. His legs were disabled and he was better-looking than a woman, but even so, wherever he sat, he gave off a majestic vibe.

Ning Xia was frightened by her own thoughts and quickly shook her head. 'Pah! What kind of disabled legs! It was clearly an act!'

What Kingly Aura? He was clearly a big liar with a short temper!

Not only did he deceive everyone outside, he also deceived his own family. At least, other than her and Shen Heng, who he trusted the most, no one knows that he isn't disabled anymore, right?

Indeed, this was a generation that valued appearances. If it's good looking and showing confidence, everyone will believe it!

Pei Yichen gestured and Shen Heng also took a place at the table to eat.

Ning Xia glanced at Shen Heng this time. If Pei Yichen is the king, then Shen Heng would be his great general. Both of them ate extremely elegant, in contrast to Ning Xia, who was like a reincarnated hungry ghost.

On one hand, she was chewing with her mouth stuffed, and on the other, she kept placing any food she liked on her plate. Seeing that, Sheng Heng was really worried that she will suffer from indigestion later.

Didn't they say that beauties would pay great attention to their figure?

Why is Ning Xia eating so much, isn't she afraid of getting fat?

Pei Yichen smirked. Eating with Ning Xia increased his appetite too.

Without realizing it, he had already drunk a bowl of porridge and even felt that he could drink another one.

"Ning Xia, pour me some soup."

He had always been a man who would not restrain himself.

"Alright." Ning Xia didn't put on airs. She picked up the bowl in front of him, filled it quickly with sweet soup, and put it down in front of him again.

Pei Yichen frowned slightly. He has never eaten sweet food before.

However, seeing the contented look on Ning Xia's face, he suddenly wanted to give it a try.

Shen Heng saw Pei Yichen's faint frown while taking a sip of the sweet soup and his heart sank. He said to himself, "Oh no!" and looked at Ning Xia with some sympathy. He lowered his head to eat his meal in silence and tried to go unnoticed.

But, the expected rebuke didn't come. When he looked at Pei Yichen again, he saw that the emotionless Ice Mountain Boss was smiling slightly. Clearly, he was very satisfied with the sweet soup …

Shen Heng felt that something was not right today. Something must have gone wrong. Why did the CEO change so much since Ning Xia arrived?

This shouldn't have happened...

Could it be?

Did President Pei fall for this weird little girl?
