Chi Zeyao could not help but chuckle.
“Going to the battlefield to relax is indeed a good way to pass the time. However… As one of the members of the Chi family, my whereabouts are rather restricted. So, I’m very sorry. If you told me earlier, I could still apply to leave the country, but now… I’m afraid I can’t.”
“I was just asking. If you can’t go, then forget it.” A hint of awkwardness appeared on Feng Shengxuan’s face.
Chi Zeyao smiled and used the communal chopsticks to pick up a piece of slightly spicy steamed pepper tofu for Feng Shengxuan. He placed it into Feng Shengxuan’s bowl. “Try it.”
“I don’t like tofu. It’s tasteless.”
“This is steamed roasted pepper tofu. It’s slightly spicy, but it won’t affect your stomach. Try it.”
Feng Shengxuan despised that piece of pale tofu very much. However, when he heard that there were roasted peppers and he finally had some chili to eat, he endured it.
Unexpectedly, the tofu was so tender that it melted in his mouth.
The chili peppers were extremely fragrant after being toasted, leaving behind a hint of roasted flavor with a hint of spiciness. When the tofu entered his mouth and brushed past his taste buds, the slightly spicy fragrance was accompanied by an extremely tender texture that melted onto his mouth immediately…
Before he could savor it, the tofu chunk had already slid down his esophagus.
Feng Shengxuan’s eyes widened.
Surprise!
He never expected the tofu that he had always disliked could be done so deliciously! It was even more fragrant than the top-grade truffles stewed in low heat!
However, he had already claimed so blatantly that he disliked eating tofu. So, after taking a bite, Feng Shengxuan’s bloated ego would not allow him to take another bite. He felt that in the past month or two that he had been staying in the Chi residence, all he did was embarrass himself every day, thus…
Seeing Feng Shengxuan’s pride, Chi Zeyao picked up another piece of tofu for Feng Shengxuan. Then, Chi Zeyao shifted the whole plate of tofu and placed the plate directly in front of Feng Shengxuan.
“Eat more. I’ll get Nuannuan to come down to eat.”
Chi Zeyao then left in his wheelchair.
Peering at Old Master Chi who was still reading the newspaper, Feng Shengxuan picked up the plate of tofu and poured the entire pile of tofu into his bowl.
Through this period of recuperation, Feng Shengxuan felt that his body had recovered. Unable to stay idle, he decided to follow Bai Liyue to the company to take a look.
Just as he was about to go upstairs to look for her, he saw Bai Liyue wearing a pastel green gauze long dress that draped elegantly over her body. On top of the dress was a vintage-looking black coat with woven white edges. She wore a pair of black high heels, and she was holding a similarly pastel green handbag from H. Her hair wound high on her head, leaving a bit of hair hanging down the side of her ears.
The beginning of spring had arrived, and the sun was shining brightly. This outfit did not lose the grandeur of winter, but it also had the exuberance of spring. It did not lose the aloofness and solemnity that was in Bai Liyue’s nature, but it also complimented her beauty, vibrance, and elegance. Even the edge of the dress that swayed back and forth along with her ankles and the loose hair at her ears looked magnificent, with a rare hint of playfulness…
Feng Shengxuan’s lips parted slightly, thinking he was mistaken.
After all, when Bai Liyue was with him, she usually wore a professional-looking work outfit and had a pair of extremely tall stilettos.
With the height that nearly came up to his, Bai Liyue had always given Feng Shengxuan the feeling as though… she was a strong independent woman who needed nobody.
However, he had never seen Bai Liyue in her current outfit.
The pastel green muslin dress gave her a cold and aloof appearance a layer of mischievous intelligence. This was the first time Feng Shengxuan discovered how beautiful Bai Liyue could actually be. She was so beautiful he was stunned into speechlessness.
Just as Feng Shengxuan was about to chase after her, he suddenly noticed a Bentley in the latest model parked outside the Chi residence..
