Chapter 1329: Chapter 1329: It’s Really Hard to Eat

“Is it really that bad?” she asked again, feigning disappointment.

Ansel comforted her, “Maybe it’s just because I’ve never had it before, so I’m not used to it. Daddy, why don’t you try it? Maybe you can eat it.”

Yufei looked hopefully at Qi Ruisen…

Qi Ruisen smiled lightly, “Okay, I’ll give it a try.”

After taking a piece of meat and putting it into his mouth, Qi Ruisen’s brows also furrowed.

Ansel, holding a glass of water, said coolly while drinking, “Daddy, if you can’t swallow it, just spit it out.”

Qi Ruisen, with the red-braised pork in his mouth, forced an extremely ugly smile for Yufei.

Yufei looked at him expectantly; her expression made it difficult for Qi Ruisen to either spit it out or swallow it.

“Is it really that bad?” Yufei asked lightly.

Qi Ruisen finally mustered the courage to swallow and said, “No… it’s not bad… see, I swallowed it.”

Ansel gave him a thumbs-up subtly.

You’re amazing–

You can even eat red-braised pork that’s all MSG, you’re really something!

Qi Ruisen smiled gracefully and quickly took a sip of water.

A sly smile flickered in Yufei’s eyes. Although Qi Ruisen didn’t spit it out, he did swallow it, which gave her a small sense of vengeful satisfaction.

“Mr. Qi, why don’t you try this one?” Yufei said, smiling politely as she picked up a piece of boiled fish for him.

Qi Ruisen looked at the fiery red fish and immediately regretted swallowing the red-braised pork.

If he hadn’t swallowed it, he might not have to continue enduring this torment.

“Yufei, I’m not…” very fond of spicy food.

Before he could finish, Yufei interrupted, “Mr. Qi, I’ve tasted this dish myself, it’s quite flavorful. You try it. If it’s not good, I won’t make it next time.”

There’s going to be a next time!

To avoid further torture, Qi Ruisen reluctantly continued to taste.

If the previous dish was just too much MSG, this one was excessively everything!

Too many chilies, too much MSG, too many Sichuan peppercorns, too much salt… not just a little too much, it was like eating these seasonings straight, unbearable.

Even with his good manners, Qi Ruisen couldn’t take it anymore.

He quickly spat out the fish into a trash can lined with a clean bag.

Yufei and Ansel exchanged glances, both corners of their mouths turning up in a triumphant smile.

“Is it really that bad?!” Yufei said, sounding very upset.

Qi Ruisen’s face was a picture of distress, and he was at a loss for words.

He couldn’t handle spicy food at all; even a tiny amount of chili would make him uncomfortable, let alone so much.

“Yufei, my taste is very light, please forgive me,” Qi Ruisen said after drinking some water, struggling to get the words out.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I have some light dishes here.” With that, Yufei picked up a piece of stir-fried broccoli and put it in his bowl.

“Try this one, I promise it won’t disappoint you. I only added a little salt, no other seasoning.”

The green broccoli seemed okay, and since she didn’t add any seasoning, it should be bland enough to eat.

But the first two dishes had left him with such a severe psychological shadow that Qi Ruisen was truly afraid.

Maybe there was something wrong with this dish too…

“Daddy, try eating it and see. If you can eat it, I will too. If not, don’t eat the other dishes,” Ansel encouraged him without any loyalty.

Qi Ruisen looked at him and said with a gentle smile, “Ansel, this dish should be okay. Why don’t you give it a try?”
