C11 His Preferences

Chu Xiangming looked back at her and frowned, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Chenmoh said? Hurry up and follow him. Stop dilly-dallying!"

When he heard Chu Xiangming teach Chu Ningyan a lesson, a trace of displeasure flashed across Si Chenmoh's eyes, but he quickly regained his calm.

This trace of displeasure was caught by Chu Yuqin, who had been paying attention to him at all times. Her face twisted a little.

It was Chu Ningyan again. When did Mo start to care about that slut Chu Ningyan?!

Chu Ningyan bit her lips and raised her steps to follow.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Chu Xiangming ordered the maids, "Bring all the dishes up."

The maids placed the dishes on the table one after another and retreated to the side to wait.

Due to the influence of the old master, Si Chenmoh usually preferred to eat Chinese food. The dishes served were also all Chinese food.

Chu Xiangming said to Si Chenmoh, "I asked the chef to specially prepare these dishes for you. I don't know if they suit your taste."

Si Chenmoh took a look and said, "They are all good. Thank you for your hospitality."

"I specially asked Yuqin. She said a few things you like to eat, so I ordered the kitchen to do as she said." The smile on Wang Yumei's face became even brighter.

Chu Haozhe chimed in from the side, "That's right. Brother Mo, you usually don't care about anything. I didn't see you like anything. If it wasn't for my sister, we wouldn't know what you like to eat. I know you better."

Si Chenmoh looked at Chu Yuqin with a gentle look in his eyes, "Looks like I really need to thank Yuqin properly."

Chu Yuqin pursed her lips and smiled, "What's the matter? I know you don't like green onions, so I specially instructed the chef not to put any."

Thinking about the fact that he didn't like green onions, Si Chenmoh thought of the night when he ate supper with Chu Ningyan in the Si family Master's house last night.

He raised his head and looked at Chu Ningyan opposite him. Ever since Chu Ningyan entered the restaurant, she hadn't said a single word. She sat very quietly on the chair and looked coldly at the five of them. She had a feeling of being out of place, like a stranger.

For some reason, Si Chenmoh felt his heart ache, but he soon ignored it.

"Mo, this is the beef stew with carrots. You love it the most." Chu Yuqin picked up several chopsticks of carrot stew for Si Chenmoh.

Si Chenmoh really liked this dish. It was just that...

"He doesn't like carrots." Chu Ningyan suddenly opened her mouth.

The five people at the table looked at her.

Wang Yumei said unhappily, "What do you know? If you don't know Chenmoh's preferences, don't say anything."

Chu Yuqin looked at Si Chenmoh with some grievance, "Mo, I remember you do like this dish. Did I remember wrongly? "

When she went to the restaurant with Si Chenmoh, he always ordered this dish. There was no way he would make a mistake.

Si Chenmoh glanced at Chu Ningyan indifferently. When he looked at Chu Yuqin, his expression became gentle, "You remember correctly. I do like to eat this dish."

It was just that he had a strange habit. Although he liked to eat carrots and beef stew, he did not like carrots.

He had never directly said that he did not like carrots, so Chu Yuqin did not know about this.

What surprised him was that Chu Ningyan actually knew. A strange feeling surged in Si Chenmoh's heart.

A bright smile bloomed on Chu Yuqin's face, "I knew I did not remember wrongly."

Chu Yuqin looked at Chu Ningyan, "I know elder sister you are also out of good intentions. But you usually spend too little time with Mo and don't understand his habits. It is understandable that you guessed wrongly."

This sentence sounded quite generous and proper but Chu Ningyan could hear the provocation from it.

She pulled the corner of her mouth but did not respond to Chu Yuqin's words.

She believed in her intuition that Si Chenmoh definitely did not like to eat carrots.

She did not spend as much time with the other party as Chu Yuqin did, but every time they interacted, her heart and mind would be placed on Si Chenmoh. Naturally, she noticed details that other people usually did not notice.

For example, at this moment, in front of outsiders, Si Chenmoh would not show obvious disgust towards something. He would also occasionally eat carrots.

However, when he picked up the carrots, he stopped moving for a moment. When he ate the carrots, he could not help but frown.

These small movements were very subtle, so subtle that almost no one noticed it, but Chu Ningyan remembered it.

Chu Ningyan did not speak for the rest of the time, but when she saw Chu Yuqin putting food into Si Chenmoh's bowl, the action of eating paused for a moment. Her gaze could not help but land on Si Chenmoh's bowl.

Stir-fried green pepper meat, stewed chicken with mushrooms, steamed pork ribs with bean black sauce. ...

Si Chenmoh frowned when he was eating these dishes.

He had just finished eating the pork ribs that were stained with bean paste. When he raised his head and met Chu Ningyan's probing eyes, Si Chenmoh's eyes darkened.

Chu Ningyan jumped in fright and quickly lowered her head to eat obediently.

After the meal, They sat on the sofas in the hall and rested.

Chu Yuqin leaned on Si Chenmoh's shoulder, "Today's dishes are your favorite. You must be very happy, right?"

Si Chenmoh had a faint smile on his face. "Yes, I am."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem." Chu Ningyan, who was drinking water, heard Si Chenmoh's answer and choked a few times.

Chu Xiangming looked unhappy. "Why do you have no image when you drink water?" This was simply a disgrace to the Chu family.

Chu Ningyan put the cup of water on the table, "You still need to pay attention to your image in your own house. Isn't this a joke?"

Chu Xiangming's face was gloomy, "Chu Ningyan!"

"Alright, alright. Chenmoh is still here. Don't be angry." Wang Yumei pretended to smooth things over. "It's not like you don't know. Ningyan has been like this since she was young. She's already used to it and can't change it for a while. Don't blame her."

The meaning of this sentence was that Chu Ningyan did not have any family tutoring since she was young. Even if she wanted to learn, she would not be able to learn the noble etiquette of the Wealthy Class.

Chu Ningyan sneered, "Madam Wang's words are quite right. What kind of background do some people have? The symbol of her background is engraved in their bones. Even if they climb a high branch, they still can't shake it off."

This sentence was clearly mocking Wang Yumei.

Wang Yumei was so angry that her face turned green, "Chu Ningyan, mind your own mouth."

"Big Sister, my mother also has good intentions. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but you don't need to speak in such a strange manner, right?" Chu Yuqin opened her mouth to criticize.

Si Chenmoh's voice was cold, "Auntie is your elder after all. You are going too far with your words."

She did not care about others criticizing her. The only one who could hurt her was Si Chenmoh.

Chu Ningyan could not maintain her composure when faced with Si Chenmoh's accusations.

She stood up, turned around, and left in big strides. She did not want to continue being bullied here.

Chu Ningyan sat alone on a chair by the swimming pool. She looked at the water and fell into deep thought.

"How do you know I don't eat carrots?" A deep and familiar voice sounded from behind her.
