Chapter 1123: Best Actor Shen Is Jealous (9)
Qiao Lian raised her head and looked at Shen Liangchuan. For some strange reason, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
She smiled awkwardly and cautiously spoke, “Ok, let’s eat then.”
She reached out with her chopsticks, quietly picked up a crab roe dumpling and dropped it into her bowl. She looked at Senior Auntie Zhang and smiled as she remarked, “Auntie Zhang, why did you prepare so many dishes? And the crab roe dumplings, this must be the first time you made them!”
Senior Auntie Zhang immediately replied, “I didn’t make them. Mr. Shen ordered them and got them delivered from the private restaurant.”
At this point, she even looked puzzled. “I say, in your current situation, you should be eating light food. I even cooked you some porridge. It’s better that you don’t eat the crab roe dumplings. Let Mr. Shen have them all.”
Qiao Lian was surprised.
He had specially ordered food from the private restaurant?
So it wasn’t her being overly sensitive, but an obvious statement on his part?
She looked at Shen Liangchuan awkwardly and said, “You- you got someone to spy- I mean, to protect me?
Shen Liangchuan looked up and nodded calmly and naturally.
Qiao Lian gulped.
She could feel that he wasn’t in the best mood.
But… she only had lunch with Lu Nanze. What was the matter with him?
As she was trying to figure it out, Shen Liangchuan remarked calmly, “I heard that you filled his bowl for him?”
Filled his bowl?
Qiao Lian was stumped for a moment. She quickly remembered that, indeed, she had picked the crab roe dumplings for him.
So was Shen Liangchuan jealous?
Suddenly, Qiao Lian had a strong urge to laugh aloud.
Why was a jealous Shen Liangchuan such an adorable person?
Shen Liangchuan coughed once as Qiao Lian was still deep in thought. Then his gaze shifted to the basket of crab road dumplings, but he kept silent with a cold expression on his face.
It was obvious what that look meant. He wanted Qiao Lian to pick up the food and fill his bowl for him.
Qiao Lian was silent.
Lowering her gaze, she didn’t let him see the astute understanding that flashed across her eyes.
On the contrary, she feigned innocence and said, “Why are you coughing? Is your throat too dry? Should I pour you some water?”
Shen Liangchuan answered, “No, it’s ok. Let’s eat.”
Qiao Lian said, “Ok.”
Looking at her food again, she started eating.
Shen Liangchuan: …
Qiao Lian was normally quick-witted, so where had her agility gone today?
He frowned and stared at the dishes on the dining table.
He had to admit it, he was jealous.
And not just that. He was extremely jealous.
When the bodyguard had reported to him what had happened today, jealousy had crept in the moment he heard that Qiao Lian had personally served Lu Nanze the crab roe dumplings.
Even if she had just been putting on an act, did she have to go all the way?
To think that she had actually served him crab roe dumplings with her own chopsticks.
It was only the first day and she was already serving him food. What was next? Was she going to hold hands with him in places where the bodyguards wouldn’t be able to see them?!
Thinking of this made Shen Liangchuan feel as though there was a raging fire burning inside that he couldn’t suppress.
He took a deep breath as he looked at Qiao Lian enjoying the food, oblivious to his feelings. He started, “Xiao Qiao.”
Qiao Lian looked up with her pair of large, innocent eyes. “Yes?”
“I want some crab roe dumplings.”
This time, surely it was obvious enough, right?
Hurry up, pick up a dumpling and serve it.
But all that he got was:
“Go ahead, take it and eat it. It’s delicious!”
Right after those words, she lowered her gaze again and quickly ate her dinner.
