“The salt and fat exceeded the level. The Little Princess has been eating lightly lately. Suddenly, having these things will upset her stomach.” After saying this, Ji Huo poured the two soup bowls back into the pot and pushed the small pot towards Qian Xiao. “You can have it!”

Looking at the small pot in front of him, with the pig trotters floating up and down in the soup, Qian Xiao was dumbfounded.

His diet had been quite light over the past couple of days.

Grandma Zhou was angry, but as soon as she was about to speak, she was silenced by the intense gaze of Ji Huo. It was as if she had been drawn into the center of a storm and momentarily lost her composure.

It was not the look of an ordinary person. In that moment, she felt like she had returned to her childhood, the first time she had seen the young Mr. Lu, with feelings of fear and submission being her initial reaction.

Grandma Zhou frowned, momentarily disoriented due to her brief lapse earlier. She took a deep breath and resumed her kindly demeanor when facing Qingzhi again. “It’s all my fault. Miss, you’ve never liked eating light food. I thought you had suffered in the hospital and wanted to nourish you properly!”

“Grandma Zhou, it’s not your fault. My stomach hasn’t been well recently, and Ji Huo is concerned about me. He didn’t mean it this way, so please don’t blame him!” Qingzhi’s chubby little face squeezed out a faint smile.

“Miss, please wait a moment. I’ll have the kitchen prepare some light dishes for you immediately!” Grandma Zhou said, not addressing Qingzhi’s previous comment.

After saying this, she turned and walked away in her black low-heeled shoes.

The girl behind Grandma Zhou had been staring at Ji Huo, completely focused on him. It was only when Grandma Zhou left that she suddenly snapped out of it, picked up the small pot, and followed Grandma Zhou.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, the girl threw the pot and soup into the trash can.

The people in the kitchen witnessed this scene but dared not utter a word. The girl was the granddaughter of Grandma Zhou’s sister and was also responsible for the kitchen. No one dared to say anything, and they all lowered their heads to focus on their tasks.

“You all can leave. Ms. Lu prefers light meals, and I’ll personally prepare them.” The girl glanced at the chefs in the kitchen.

The chefs all finished their work and lined up to leave the kitchen.

After everyone had left, Grandma Zhou glared at the girl unhappily. “Xiaoman, who are you so angry at? Is it me or Miss? You must remember Ms. Lu will always be the young lady. Even if she hits or scolds you, you have no right to be angry!”

Miao Xiaoman, scolded by Grandma Zhou like this, felt a bit regretful for being stubborn. She again picked up the pot from the trash can, although most of the soup had spilled.

“Grandma, it seems like Ms. Lu is becoming disobedient. Normally, she always accepts what we prepare for her. This time, she went to the hospital for so long, and yesterday, even when you went to pick her up, she still wouldn’t come back!”

Grandma Zhou’s expression was horrid. “I raised Ms. Lu, so I understand her personality. She’s timid, doesn’t have much initiative, and her heart is too soft. Others easily influence her. Ji Huo is not simple. In such a short time, he gained Ms. Lu’s trust. He must have whispered something into her ear. That’s why we can’t let this man stay!”

“What do you want to do with him?” Miao Xiaoman asked nervously.

“You, girl, didn’t you think Ji Huo looks good?” Grandma Zhou chuckled, “You were sneaking glances at him just now!”

“Grandma, do you mean …”

“You’re young and beautiful, with so many men pursuing you, and you’ve never missed the ones you set your sights on. Do what you want!” Grandma Zhou glanced at Miao Xiaoman and then walked out of the kitchen.

Miao Xiaoman’s eyes lit up. Did Grandma Zhou give her approval to seduce Ji Huo?

She had met many men before, but those men couldn’t even compare to Ji Huo.

To be able to sleep next to a man like him, she couldn’t ask for anything more!
