Lin Yan forced a smile after she swallowed it. “Delicious!”
Delicious?
Pei Yutang watched Lin Yan as she maintained a smile. He picked up a slice of fish, still looking doubtful.
When he tasted it…
He was sure of one thing: Big Sister-In-Law truly loved Big Brother!
Everyone began to dig in.
Lin Yan tried all the dishes, thinking that at least one of them would be edible.
In the end, none of them was!
Lin Yan only ate from her bowl of rice as she stole curious glances at Pei Yucheng.
She saw how Pei Yucheng ate those dishes normally, as though he couldn’t tell how awful the food was.
Pei Nanxu and Pei Yutang who sat opposite them, looked quite normal as they ate.
Lin Yan began to doubt herself…
What was happening?
Why didn’t the three brothers react or express themselves as they ate this awful food?
Did the Pei family have an acquired weird taste?
Lin Yan felt her taste buds going numb as she ate.
Pei Yucheng sensed that something was wrong based on Lin Yan’s expression. “Is it salty?”
“No, no, no! It’s not salty at all! It’s very nice! I’m just a little thirsty. Do you have any water?” answered Lin Yan.
Pei Yucheng rose to get a cup of water.
Seizing this chance, Pei Yutang’s face crumpled as he whispered, “Big Sister-In-Law! I already said that we should head out to eat! Why did you insist on eating at home? Why did you subject us to this suffering? I’m already badly injured, yet I still need to suffer once more. Why is my life so tough? I would rather be beaten up by Song Yaonan again than eat Big Brother’s food!”
Lin Yan looked glum as she hissed, “So you think that the food is awful as well? I thought that your entire family had weird taste!”
Pei Yutang said, “Big Sister-In-Law, I’m starting to truly believe something now…”
Lin Yan asked, “Huh?”
Pei Yutang said, “You really love my brother. You managed to swallow this food with a smile. How deeply do you love him to be able to do so? Other than my second brother and I, you’re the only one who has dared to eat his food. Big Sister-In-Law, you’re truly Big Brother’s destiny!”
Lin Yan was speechless… This was nonsense…
After Pei Yucheng came back with a cup of water, Pei Yutang gobbled down his bowl of rice. He leaped to his feet and said, “I’m done! Since I’m a poor, pitiful car racer, I shall not spend the night here. Bye-bye, Big Brother and Big Sister-In-Law!”
Pei Nanxu wiped his mouth and rose. “Big Brother, Big Sister-In-Law, enjoy your meal. I have an early appointment tomorrow. I’m leaving.”
Hence, Lin Yan was left alone, staring at the table full of food…
Why had they fled?
Lin Yan and Pei Yucheng were the only ones left in the living room.
Lin Yan bit her lip and ate two bowls of rice. She drank three cups of water before helping Pei Yucheng clear the table.
After clearing the table, Lin Yan and Pei Yucheng washed the dishes together.
As she washed, she thought that she should be able to leave after the dishes were done.
What should she say, though?
Her persona required her to act as if she wanted to stick by Pei Yucheng’s side all day long. How could she suggest that she should head home?
As Lin Yan washed the plates, she got lost in thought. Suddenly, a hand gripped her wrist.
Lin Yan, who was startled, glanced at Pei Yucheng. “Mr. Pei, what’s the matter?”
“Put it down. I’ll wash them.” Pei Yucheng stared at the plates, looking rather helpless.
Lin Yan glanced at the plates and realized that she had broken quite a few. Unfortunately, she was unable to control her strength well.
Lin Yan was exasperated with herself. “Sorry, sorry! I’m naturally stronger…”
Pei Yucheng replied, “Go outside and wait for me.”
Lin Yan replied, “Oh… Okay…”
