His tone was stiff. After saying that, he opened the steamer in front of her, picked up a prawn dumpling, and sent it into his mouth. He even wanted to cover it up.
“I can’t always eat your cooking for free.”
The novel texture stunned him. Only then did he remember to observe carefully. He took a look. “What is this? Why is it so beautiful and delicious?”
Xiaoxiao was pleased. She took the prawn dumplings and went into Rong Yan’s kitchen with ease. She took a pair of chopsticks and poured vinegar for him. Then, she picked one up and dipped it in the vinegar. “I studied it for many days before making it. It tastes better this way.”
God will be her witness, she simply felt that the delicacies could not be let down, but unexpectedly, Rong Yan’s face heated up again when she fed him.
Great, she was pushing her luck! This girl was pushing her luck!
Could such an intimate action be done casually?
Xiaoxiao did not know what he was thinking. She simply treated herself as an old auntie who was feeding a little kid.
Rong Yan cursed in his heart, but when he thought about how he almost hurt her heart just now, he still bit on the chopsticks that Xiaoxiao gave him… and the prawn dumplings.
Xiaoxiao felt that he was very obedient and lovable, so she couldn’t help but feed him again. Rong Yan still ate it. After eating, he even mimicked Ning Erlang and the others and gave her a thumbs up.
Xiaoxiao:… Oh no, he’s adorable!
After she left, Rong Yan noticed the dumbfounded guards in the corner. They looked at the prawn dumplings, their master, and then in the direction where Miss Ning left. For a moment, they didn’t know what to say. Rong Yan pulled a long face and closed the steamer. “They’re all mine.”
Ning Xiaoxiao had already said that it took a few days of research to make them. It would be too heartless of him to let her down.
Yun Yi suggested boldly, “Master likes Miss Ning so much… Why don’t you bring her along when you go back and let her be a chef in the residence?”
Rong Yan looked at the exquisite and beautiful prawn dumplings in his hand. He felt that his chief guard’s suggestion was not to his liking, but he could not figure out how it was dissatisfactory.
On the way home, Xiaoxiao opened the wooden box and realized that it was a pair of coral bracelets. The small red beads gathered together and made clicking sounds when they swayed. They were very lively. Xiaoxiao gestured in the mirror and felt that they should be tied to her hair.
She didn’t know that the neighbor’s Little Master would buy things that a girl likes?
Eh, Xiaoxiao touched her chin and fell into deep thought as she looked at her face in the mirror that was getting fuller and fuller. Could it be…
The prawn dumplings received enthusiastic praise from the entire family and cute likes from the neighbor next door. Xiaoxiao was very confident. She turned to Ning Fengnian and said, “Father, are you free? Can you help me make a beautiful bamboo steamer so that I can bring this to Shopkeeper Xu to try?”
Ning Fengnian was full of energy. In less than two hours, he made her an exquisite bamboo steamer that still emitted the fragrance of bamboo slices. Hearing Xiaoxiao’s praises, he made a few smaller ones in a moment of excitement.
The more Xiaoxiao looked at it, the more she liked it. She happily took the half-finished product and prepared to go to the county. When she went out, she greeted Rong Yan, who was taking a walk next door.
The latter frowned at her. “Wait for me. I’ll go too.”
Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Are you buying something?” Because he had brought along the handcart at home again.
After setting off, Rong Yan insisted that Xiaoxiao sit on it. Ning Erlang had already taken the Ning Family’s handcart with him when he went to set up the stall in the morning. In addition, there were not many things, so Xiaoxiao originally planned to walk over with her brother.
It would be a waste not to take a ride. Xiaoxiao was happy to be lazy. She did not notice that Rong Yan’s lips curled up unconsciously when he saw her smiling happily. On the other hand, Ning Dalang frowned slightly and looked serious the entire way, especially when his gaze landed on Rong Yan..
