Chapter 24: Fang Xinxin’s Appetite
In the past, didn’t she disdain touching even his sleeves?
“Have you gone silly from choking?” Fang Xinxin stared at his dumbstruck expression with some confusion.
Bai Qinghao reached out and held her hand. He sounded slightly moved. “Fang Xinxin...”
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to express care toward him.
In a soft voice, she responded back. “En?”
Her gentle tone caused him to feel some grief. He had thought that he would never be able to speak amiably with her in this lifetime.
He was silent. How wonderful would it be if she could be this gentle towards him for the rest of their lives?
“I’m thirsty. I’m going to have some tea.” Fang Xinxin picked up Bai Qinghao’s cup and downed the tea in two gulps.
Since her elopement with Bai Chenxi last night, and the tiring activity with Bai Qinghao after that, she hadn’t even had a single sip of water.
How could one cup be enough? She picked up the teapot and refilled her cup. She finished it in one gulp.
Cup after cup...
By her sixth refill, the teapot was empty.
She glanced at the maid by the side and ordered. “Go bring three more pots of water here. Use a bigger teapot!”
“Understood.” The helper immediately headed for the kitchen. She quickly returned with three large pots.
Fang Xinxin was too lazy to pour cup after cup of water. She stood up and lifted the teapot, tilting it into her mouth.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
Very quickly, three large pots were emptied.
“Whew...” She sat back down on the couch and finally felt better.
Bai Qinghao, the maids by the side, and even Liu Li were completely dumbstruck.
Those pots of water were sufficient to feed one person for several days. She finished it so quickly? She sure could drink!
“What are you looking at!” Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. “Have you never seen a fat person drink and eat?”
She patted her chest. “Let me tell you guys. I’m not only good at drinking water. I’m just as capable when it comes to eating. Speaking of which, I haven’t eaten since last night. I’m so hungry.”
“Miss Fang, don’t worry. Young Master instructed us beforehand to prepare lots of food for you. I’ll serve it now.” The maid clapped her hands and a group of maids appeared with trays of fragrant food in their hands.
Shark fin buddha’s temptation, braised sea cucumber with bai ling mushrooms, mandarin fish, bergamot gold rolls...
More than twenty fragrant dishes were brought out. The sight of them alone was sufficient to cause one to drool.
The delicious fragrance filled the entire living room.
Fang Xinxin’s eyes widened. Her body began trembling in agitation. “So... so much delicious food!”
Bai Qinghao took in her greedy appearance. A hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes. “I know your appetite has always been good. I was worried that you would be hungry. On the way to the villa, I informed them to prepare these. This much food would be more than enough to feed ten people.”
Fang Xinxin was moved. She turned to him. “Bai Qinghao, you’re really too good to me!”
These dishes were famous and expensive. This was unlike the Fang home. The food they gave her there was always cheap.
Bai Qinghao was once again dumbstruck.
In the past, it was not that he had never prepared food for her. However, everytime, she would flip the dishes over and had said, “Don’t think that you can buy me over with food!”
He hoped that she was being sincere right now. Otherwise... she wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences!
Just when everyone assumed that Fang Xinxin would begin stuffing herself with food, she approached the table with a pair of chopsticks and took a small bite from every dish. Then she placed the chopsticks down. “I’m full now!”
