nHowever, no matter how hard she gritted her teeth, Tao Yuxuan could only respectfully welcome Leng Qiankun’s arrival and report everything that had happened in the past year to him in detail.

n

nEspecially what had happened in the past month.

n

nThe true daughter had returned home, Shi Xi had left home, and there were all sorts of rumors at the banquet…

n

nTao Yuxuan felt that in this palace battle scene, she was like a little eunuch by the emperor’s side.

n

nShe was so tired.

n

n“So, that Ning Yu provoked Shi Xi Xi and made her unhappy?” Leng Qiankun tapped the armrest of the sofa with his index finger.

n

nTao Yuxuan said, “I think so. Ever since that Ning Yu returned, Xi Xi seems to have changed.”

n

nIn a sense, Tao Yuxuan was quite right.

n

nLeng Qiankun’s lips curled into a sinister smile. “Ning Yu, she sounds very old-fashioned and boring.”

n

nTao Yuxuan and Leng Qiankun had grown up together and she knew his habits very well. When Leng Qiankun smiled, she knew that something bad was going to happen.

n

nNing Yu was most likely going to be unlucky.

n

nTao Yuxuan hurriedly said, “Xi Xi told me not to target Ning Yu.”

n

n“Don’t worry, I won’t go too far.” Leng Qiankun smiled. “I’ll think of a way to get Ning Yu to come to my welcoming banquet tomorrow.”

n

nTao Yuxuan: ‘…He really treats me like a little eunuch.’

n

nAt this moment, Shi Xi had already boarded Xie Yunzhou’s car and arrived at a small shop with spicy hot pot.

n

nThe shop was newly opened and was clean and tidy.

n

nShi Xi picked a lot of dishes that she liked and went to get a can of iced Cola.

n

nXie Yunzhou looked at the ingredients in front of him and then looked at Shi Xi. He could only accept his fate.

n

nHe had flown back and was physically and mentally exhausted. He only wanted to see Shi Xi and was not hungry at all. He randomly picked some dishes and asked the restaurant to make some spicy food.

n

nAfter sitting down, Shi Xi still felt a little incredulous and stared at Xie Yunzhou.

n

n“Why are you staring at me?” Xie Yunzhou asked directly, “Is there something on my face?”

n

n“No, I thought President Xie would not eat these.” Shi Xi really could not imagine how Xie Yunzhou would eat the spicy and fragrant hotpot with her.

n

nJust like how she couldn’t imagine how the baldy Sheng Yan would look like.

n

nXie Yunzhou smiled and said, “I’m also a human. Why wouldn’t I eat them?”

n

nWhen the spicy hot pot filled with chili was served, Xie Yunzhou’s smile disappeared.

n

nHe remembered that he had said ‘slightly spicy’.

n

nJust as Xie Yunzhou was about to ask the restaurant, he saw that Shi Xi’s spicy hot pot was filled with chili.

n

nXie Yunzhou fell into silence.

n

nCould this really be eaten?

n

nIn his early years, he often worked overtime, ate irregularly, and often drank alcohol. He had a stomachache.

n

nAlthough he was much better now, looking at the large number of chilies, his heart still palpitated.

n

nShi Xi went to get the cutlery and even served Xie Yunzhou some rice.

n

n“You like spicy food?” Xie Yunzhou looked at Shi Xi’s actions and faintly felt a stomachache.

n

n“It’s okay. I’m not picky.” Shi Xi asked, “You can’t eat spicy food, right?”

n

n“Of course I can.” Xie Yunzhou smiled gently, not showing any signs of a stomach ache.

n

nLooking at the chili in front of him, Xie Yunzhou was ready to go to the hospital.

n

nThe price of eating together with Shi Xi was too high.

n

nBut Shi Xi did not give him a chance to eat spicy food.

n

nShi Xi had just eaten a few mouthfuls when she put down her chopsticks with a pale face and covered her stomach.

n

nXie Yunzhou was thinking about how to use his chopsticks when he realized something was wrong. “What’s wrong with you?”

n

nThe girl in front of him had a pale face and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She gritted her teeth and could not say a word.

n

nAt the hospital.

n

nAfter the doctor hung up the IV for Shi Xi. He lectured Xie Yunzhou, “Her body is weak. She can’t eat spicy food, eat cold food, or catch a cold during her menstrual period. How can you be her boyfriend like this?”
