The smell of the food wafted around the room. Just looking at the food made one’s mouth water.
“Eat the food slowly,” Jian Yiling warned.
“Okay,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Upon seeing the scene in front of him, Qin Shixuan was quite amazed. At the same time, he was also quite astonished.
Although the scene in front of him would be typically considered normal, if those people in the capital saw this, their jaws would drop in shock.
Master Sheng was notoriously difficult to deal with. However, he acted so easy going right now. Especially in front of a little girl.
Previously, Qin Shixuan’s greatest interest in Jian Yiling was her knowledge of chemistry.
However, after this moment, his greatest interest and confusion was Jian Yiling’s strange relationship with Zhia Yunsheng.
The most ill-tempered Young Master in the capital and the genius girl from Hengyuan City? This was quite an intriguing combination.
Yu Xi’s mouth watered as he looked at the food in front of Master Sheng. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
“God Ling, why don’t you give me a plate as well?”
“Go and eat your own food.”
Before Jian Yiling could say anything, Zhai Yunsheng had responded to Yu Xi. He gave Yu Xi a cold glare. The glare scared Yu Xi’s saliva all the way back to his stomach.

“Okay, okay. I’ll eat my banquet,” Yu Xi replied. He shifted his attention back to the dishes that were on the desk. The restaurant chef had prepared a table of fish and meat dishes.
There were things that he was destined to have and not have in his life.

He was destined to not be able to try God Ling’s grilled mushrooms.
Jian Yiling sat down as well. She started eating the dishes in front of her.
When Qin Shixuan saw the scene in front of him, he couldn’t help but laugh and comment, “Master Sheng, when did you start enjoying mushrooms?”
“Recently,” Zhai Yunsheng replied nonchalantly. He slowly savored the food that had been prepared by Jian Yiling.
After watching with interest for a while, Qin Shixuan’s attention fell back on Jian Yiling.
He had come to greet Zhai Yunsheng because of their social standings. However, his interest and desire to know more about Jian Yiling came deep from his heart.
“Jian Yiling, what are you planning to study after you graduate from high school?” Qin Shixuan asked.
“Medicine.”
“Have you considered chemistry?”
“No.”
There was no hesitation in her response.
Qin Shixuan had been thoroughly rejected.
“The future for chemical research is also very promising,” Qin Shixuan started. He attempted to persuade Jian Yiling.
Yu Xi had also been listening on the side. He couldn’t help but be surprised.
Was Qin Shixuan impressed by Jian Yiling’s talents?
Was he trying to persuade her to study chemistry? It seemed like he wanted her to work for his organization after she graduated.
The Yao Li Chemistry and Advanced Materials Research Institution was quite renowned. Furthermore, Qin Shixuan was the head of the organization. Anyone that caught his eye was definitely not ordinary.
Yu Xi came to the conclusion that Jian Yiling was also good at something other than playing games.
“Nope,” Jian Yiling replied. She once again rejected Qin Shixuan.
There wasn’t the slightest hesitation in her voice.
Qin Shixuan hadn’t thought that he would have been rejected so decisively.
Typically, the other party would have tactfully rejected him.
However, Qin Shixuan wasn’t upset. Instead, he became even more invested.
Once again, he started speaking. He tried to convince Jian Yiling to study chemistry in the future. However, speaking for quite some time, he was yet again rejected by Jian Yiling. Qin Shixuan decided to stop asking for the time being.
However, he hadn’t given up. Jian Yiling was still in her first year of senior high. There was still some time before she finalized her career path.

Then, Qin Shixuan invited Zhai Yunsheng, Yu Xi, and Jian Yiling to attend the charity dinner that was going to be hosted this weekend.
“Wow, Mr. Qin had no time to spare on his trip to Hengyuan City. First, you host a chemistry competition, and now you host a charity dinner?” Zhai Yunsheng mocked.
