He wanted to ask, but the answer was obvious.
Gu Xin turned to look at the dining room.
In the dining room, Nanny Wu and Xiao Qin stood there as if they were waiting for them.
Gu Xin instinctively wanted to say no, but at that moment, she suddenly answered, “Yes.”
Zhai an was stunned.
He did not expect Gu Xin to agree.
Even though he had already used a lot of tricks to ask her to eat.
He seemed to be a little nervous. He pursed his lips and did not say another word. He turned around and walked toward the dining room.
Gu Xin looked at Zhai an’s back view and at the way he walked with complete composure.
If she did not know that he could not see her, she would not believe that Zhai an, who looked like this, was a man who could not see any light at all.
Zhai an was a man who was always quietly making some changes so that others would not worry about her too much. She was always working hard to make her life look good.
And such a person was clearly… heartbreaking.
If it were her, she would have given up on herself long ago. Or, she would have made everyone around her restless!
Gu Xin bit her lip and quietly followed Zhai An’s footsteps.
In the dining room, Zhai an chose a seat and sat down. Gu Xin sat opposite him.
Nanny Wu and Xiao Qin were still standing at the side.
Zhai an said directly, “Sit down and eat together.”
Usually, they would eat together. However, because of Gu Xin, the two of them were a little restrained tonight.
Upon hearing Zhai an’s words, Nanny Wu and Xiao Qin turned to look at Gu Xin. Gu Xin did not have any special expression on her face before she slowly sat down.
Gu Xin was not a person who cared about trivialities. Even though she was used to the servants serving her at the side, she did not mind the servants serving her at the table. She did not care about things that would not affect her emotions.
At the table for the four of them.
After Xiao Qin sat down, she whispered to Zhai an, “Mr. Zhai, the plate closest to you is your favorite stir-fried duck with soy sauce. Next to it are stir-fried beans, braised pork, large steamed grouper, stir-fried flower armor, shredded potatoes, and bird’s nest soup. Mother Wu scooped a bowl for us and placed it on your left.”
Zhai an nodded slightly.
Gu Xin looked at Zhai an and Xiao Qin in silence.
After Xiao Qin introduced them in detail, they began to eat.
After Xiao Qin’s simple explanation, Zhai an was able to accurately pick up the food she wanted to pick up.
The four of them sat around a table and ate at a moderate pace. However, no one spoke. It was very quiet.
Gu Xin had been eating fried duck with soy sauce. She had a special liking for her favorite food, and she never hid it.
Mother Wu could not help but laugh. “I told you that second young master doesn’t like duck meat.”
Gu Xin was stunned.
Zhai an pursed her lips as well.
Mother Wu explained, “I grew up with second young master. I usually don’t eat duck meat at home. Once I moved out of the Zhai family, he made me make fried duck with soy sauce every day. I thought that second young master’s taste had changed. Xiao Qin also thought that second young master liked fried duck with soy sauce, so she kept it in front of him. Now, I know that second young master has always prepared it for Miss Gu.”
As she said this, mother Wu had a sudden realization.
She just didn’t understand. The second young master didn’t like to make her make fried duck with soy sauce for every meal. In fact, she observed that he ate very little for every meal. On the contrary, she and Xiao Qin ate more. Only now did she know.., so this was the reason.
