Chapter 22.2
It was unclear whether the fragrance was from her body scent or her hair.
“Palace of Desire, do you like watching it too?” Gu Muxi asked, maintaining a dignified posture.
Seeing her chubby cheeks, Yi Feng couldn’t resist pinching them, “Yeah, I like it too! Hehe!”
“I’ve noticed you resemble one of the actresses from the drama, but… you’re prettier than her!”
As he spoke, Yi Feng continued to pinch her chubby cheeks.
“Stinky Yi Feng!”
Gu Muxi’s facade broke instantly, and she grabbed Yi Feng by the neck.
“Xixi, is little Feng back? Tell him to wash his hands, dinner’s ready!” Meng Xiaoyun’s voice came from the kitchen.
Gu Muxi quickly withdrew her hands, and the next moment, Meng Xiaoyun came out of the kitchen with dishes.
“Aunty’s cooking smells so good~” Gu Muxi said sweetly.
Yi Feng straightened his clothes, a smug smile on his face.
He seemed to have found Gu Muxi’s weakness!
“Xixi has a keen nose!” Meng Xiaoyun laughed.
“Isn’t it because she’s born in the year of the dog?” Yi Feng muttered.
Gu Muxi maintained her sweet smile but stomped hard on his foot.
However, Yi Feng easily dodged, leaving Gu Muxi glaring at him.
“You child, really, can’t you learn to speak properly like Xixi?” Meng Xiaoyun scolded Yi Feng.
Yi Feng grinned, “Learn from her? I can’t!”
“I’m going to wash my hands!”
After washing his hands, Yi Feng saw Gu Muxi helping to set the table and arrange chairs.
“Gu Muxi, I’m thirsty, can you pour me a cup of tea?” Yi Feng sat down and cheekily asked.
Gu Muxi glared at him and whispered, “Don’t you have legs?”
“I’m a bit tired, go on,” Yi Feng said cheerily.
“I!”
Just as Gu Muxi was about to explode, Meng Xiaoyun came out again.
“Come on, dinner’s ready!”
Gu Muxi immediately changed her demeanor, sweetly smiled, and went to pour Yi Feng a cup of tea, even bringing it to him.
“Drink up, may it scald you!”
Meng Xiaoyun, seeing Gu Muxi pouring tea for Yi Feng, immediately went over and grabbed Yi Feng’s ear.
“How can you let Xixi pour tea for you? That’s so rude!”
Yi Feng winced in pain, “Ow, ow, mom, let go, it hurts!”
Mom, you’re being too protective of her!
“Aunty, it’s okay, I often pour for him, I’m used to it,” Gu Muxi said with a pitiful look, feigning distress.
Yi Feng: “???”
Gu Muxi, your acting skills should earn you an Oscar!
Meng Xiaoyun tugged his ear again, “Alright, always bullying Xixi, you can’t do that anymore, got it?”
“Okay, okay, mom, I got it!” Yi Feng quickly said.
Meng Xiaoyun then let go and went back to the kitchen to tidy up.
Yi Feng’s father, Yi Jianbing, came out from the kitchen with dishes, smiling, “Today Xixi is eating with us, so I added more dishes. Xixi, do you like everything?”
Gu Muxi sat next to Yi Feng like a well-behaved daughter-in-law.
“I like all these dishes, thank you Uncle Yi, Auntie, you’ve worked hard!”
Yi Jianguo laughed heartily, “It’s no trouble at all, let’s get ready to eat.”
Yi Feng looked at the dishes on the table: sweet and sour pork ribs, chili fried meat, roast duck, garlic lettuce, and a meatball soup—three meat dishes, one vegetable, and one soup!
His eyes widened.
My goodness, today’s meal is too lavish!
It’s only during the holidays that we get to eat like this!
Meng Xiaoyun came out, sat next to Gu Muxi, and personally served her, “Come on, Xixi, eat more.”
“All your favorite dishes, eat up.”
Yi Feng immediately called out, “Mom, I want meatballs!”
Meng Xiaoyun gave him a glance, “Get them yourself.”
Yi Feng: “……”
