Shi Sinan was already hurt because Xi Mucheng had suddenly become merciless. When he refused to look at her, she became even more sad, feeling worse than death.
Shi Sinan really wanted to hug Xi Mucheng’s athletic body and tell her uncle not to be angry with her anymore, that it was hard and painful for her.
The atmosphere in the living room was stagnant, as none of the three spoke.
Ning Shu suddenly said, “It’s noon. After lunch, I’ll go to the hospital to visit your grandfather.”
Shi Sinan was in a painful trance, not hearing Ning Shu’s words at all.
Ning Shu asked the maids to prepare lunch. However, the dishes served were all rather oily and greasy, with lots of fish and meat. Ning Shu even saw a saucy braised pork leg.
When the maid noticed Ning Shu’s silence, she thought that Ning Shu wasn’t satisfied with these dishes. The food in the Shi family had always been on the light side, so she hastened to explain, “This is what Young Miss likes to eat.”
Ning Shu just hummed. “Stir-fry two plates of vegetarian dishes.”
Xi Mucheng, Ning Shu, and Shi Sinan sat at the dinner table. Shi Sinan was still in pain from before, but facing a table full of dishes, her eyes focused.
At this moment, Shi Sinan’s stomach made a rumbling sound. She was obviously hungry.
Earlier, Shi Sinan did not feel too hungry. But now, facing a table of dishes, she was simply famished. Her stomach was empty, and she could not wait to put all the food in her mouth.
Shi Sinan continued gulping, and her eyes looked straight at the braised leg.
Recently Shi Sinan also did not know what was wrong with her. How could she eat so much and become hungry so fast?
After eating her fill at noon, before even reaching dinner, she was starving already. She had to find something to fill her stomach. After dinner, she still had to get up to find something to eat in the middle of the night.
Shi Sinan suspected that because of being with her uncle, her daily consumption of calories was too much. After all, they were entwined together the entire day.
When Ning Shu saw Shi Sinan like this, she hooked the corners of her mouth without a trace and said, “Eat.”
Shi Sinan hastily picked up the bowl. But she noticed that Xi Mucheng just kept drinking water without eating, so she couldn’t help but say, “Uncle, you eat too.”
Xi Mucheng carefully looked at this girl, who was trying to please him. His heart automatically softened a little.
Still, he really didn’t have much appetite. He hadn’t had an appetite for a long time. Every day, his mouth felt really dry and he was very parched. He simply could not taste anything.
In any case, he always felt extremely thirsty.
Besides, since Ning Shu was sitting across from him, Xi Mucheng had even less appetite.
When he saw the little girl staring at him, Xi Mucheng picked up the bowl and ate slowly. His actions were elegant and noble.
More often than not, he just drank water.
Meanwhile, Shi Sinan was like a starving beast. Her lips were full of oil and her cheeks were bulging.
It didn’t take long for her to finish the table of dishes. Out of the three, Shi Sinan had eaten most of the food. It was simply unimaginable.
What used to be a tiny bird’s stomach had now turned into a rice bucket.
Ning Shu just smiled faintly.
“Come upstairs. I have something to say to you,” said Ning Shu to Shi Sinan.
Shi Sinan didn’t answer Ning Shu. Instead, she first looked at Xi Mucheng. Seeing him remain silent, Shi Sinan didn’t know what he meant. Eventually, she said to Ning Shu, “Mom, what is it? Let’s talk here.”
