Chapter 80 -80: Truly Beautiful, and Nice to Touch
Yan picked up a fried dumpling, dipped it into vinegar, and put it in his mouth.
“So, how is it? Is it OK?”
Zhu Qianying was quite confident in her culinary skills, after all, she had been messing around in the kitchen with her mom since childhood. Even if she hadn’t learned 100%, she still had about 70-80% of her mom’s skill.
Besides, Yan was different from ordinary people. Uncle Hai had informed her early on that Yan was not only picky, but his taste also frequently changed.
Even the best chef couldn’t cope with the changing tastes of a diner.
Luckily, Yan, with his ever-changing taste, didn’t debunk her efforts this time and gave a slight nod, “Not bad…”
Zhu Qianying was very satisfied with this answer. As long as she passed Yan’s mark of “OK”, she wasn’t expecting a perfect score with him.
Zhu Qianying cracked an egg into her own bowl and scooped a large spoonful of rice porridge into it.
She glanced at Yan who was quietly enjoying his porridge, “How’s the porridge? I was worried there wasn’t enough time, so I had Uncle Hai instruct the chef to prepare plain porridge in advance.”
Zhu Qianying sat down, stirred her bowl of porridge, scooped it up, and took a bite.
“The chef prepared the porridge so well. It’s delicious.”
Clearly, Zhu Qianying knows how to both cook and eat.
But Yan didn’t seem interested in engaging with her, and continued to eat his dumplings and porridge without blinking.
Seeing that he wasn’t responding, Zhu Qianying refrained from further discussion. After living with the Zhu family for so many years, she had developed the habit of eating in silence.
Of course, it wasn’t because she was inherently reticent, but rather, even if she spoke, no one would listen to her, and it could even invite scolding.
Yan ate leisurely, but Zhu Qianying, although her eating habits weren’t shabby, ate very quickly.
Yan, who had initially not said anything, couldn’t help but frown when he saw Zhu Qianying finish her entire bowl of porridge in the blink of an eye. “Why do you eat so fast? It’s not like anyone is stealing your food!”
Zhu Qianying ignored him, and after finishing her porridge, she put another dumpling in her mouth.
Yan abruptly put down his chopsticks and stared at her, “in a hurry to reincarnate?”
Zhu Qianying obviously noticed the irritation in his words and responded with a grin, “Why waste time on eating!”
Yan glared at her again, “Are you uncomfortable?”
After these intermittent conversations, Zhu Qianying had gotten used to Yan’s concise way of speaking and was able to accurately decipher the full meaning of his words.
Zhu Qianying shook her head vigorously, “No way, many people wish they could dine with you, and it’s an honor to be able to have breakfast with such a handsome man. How could I be uncomfortable?”
Regardless of whether her flirtatious remarks had hit the mark, Yan just cast her a glance and continued with his breakfast.
Zhu Qianying, smiling with a mischievous glint in her eye, knew she had managed to annoy Yan. The idea alone made her want to break into song.
As Yan was still eating, Zhu Qianying, who finished quickly, put down her chopsticks.
“Yan, I’m full, enjoy your meal!” With that, she stood up, intending to leave.
“Sit down!”
At Yan’s command, Zhu Qianying promptly sat back down.
Usually, Zhu Qianying wouldn’t have bothered with him and went about her own business.
But at present, she had to win him over, convince him to restore cooperation with the Xing’s family.
Zhu Qianying stayed silent, just sitting quietly across from Yan until he put down his chopsticks. When he did, she quickly grabbed a damp cloth from Uncle Hai’s hand and presented it to him.
Yan snatched the cloth away with a huff, and said while wiping his mouth, “Speak!”
Zhu Qianying froze a moment, then grasped his meaning. Indeed, he had known what she was up to these past few days all along.

Since he had bluntly pointed it out, there was no need to keep up the pretense.
“Yan, Xing Bailun and I are good friends. We always were, we are now, and we always will be.”
Yan’s rigid demeanor seemed to soften, although his exterior remained aloof as he slowly wiped his fingers with the damp towel.
“Why are you telling me this?”
Zhu Qianying got up, snatched the towel from him, grasped his hand, and began to meticulously clean his palm and fingers.
“I’m your fiancée, it’s quite normal to brief you about my social circle, right?”
As Zhu Qianying spun this sugary tale, she felt like she could vomit at her own words.
Yet, Yan seemed rather satisfied with her response and slightly nodded in approval, “Mmm …”
After Zhu Qianying finished cleaning Yan’s right hand, he didn’t hesitate to stretch out his left hand towards her.
Zhu Qianying had no choice but to take his left hand and continue to wipe it clean.
In fact, Yan had eaten everything with chopsticks and a spoon, he hadn’t touched anything with his hands. Why did each finger need to be meticulously cleaned?
However, she didn’t dare to ask such questions, at least not now.
“Yan, your fingers are really beautiful.”
Zhu Qianying was just trying to compliment him, but upon closer look, the fingers of this picky young master were indeed beautiful. The nails were neatly trimmed, the fingers were slender and fair, and the clearly defined joints of the fingers had a slight fleshiness to them; different from the soft, boneless quality of women’s fingers, but still rather comfortable to touch.
Yan lowered his gaze, watching Zhu Qianying play with his fingers, not annoyed, he merely asked in a weak voice, “Are they really beautiful, or do they just feel good?”
After a couple of coughs, Zhu Qianying looked up and smiled at him, “Both beautiful and good to touch!” She emphasized her point by squeezing his fingers a bit more firmly.
Despite being a rugged man, Yan couldn’t help but feel his ears heating up when being teased so publicly by a delicate beauty like Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying smirked as she saw a puff of white steam seemingly rise from Yan’s head. Finally, she let go of his hand.
Only then did Yan snap out of it, and snatched Zhu Qianying’s hand, giving it a couple of rough squeezes. “Nonsense, your kind are beautiful and soft! I am a big man, where’s the beauty in that!”
Clearly, Yan was irritated by Zhu Qianying’s overly feminine description!
However, Zhu Qianying, undeterred, looked at him and said, “Actually, not only are your fingers beautiful, Yan… Your face is also very beautiful!”
Of course, Yan’s sense of beauty possessed a sun-like masculine charm, completely different from the feminine kind.
Over the years, Yan had heard plenty of praise about his good looks, but Zhu Qianying was the first to make him blush.
“Zhu Qianying, I’m warning you, if you say I’m beautiful again, I won’t let you off!” Yan seemed rather irritated.
Zhu Qianying knew that his anger probably wasn’t real; he was just embarrassed!
