Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful!

Chapter 377: I’ve Taken a Fancy to Miss Zi. Mr. Meng, Do You Want to Cooperate With Me?

Everyone thought that Count Alistar would say a few words to Zi Yi. Yet, he shifted his gaze away and raised his hand. The servant brought the wine over and he lifted a glass as he said, “Tonight’s dinner banquet is held rather late this time and I believe the various contestants are also tired. I have got my men to prepare a buffet and resting area for everyone to take a break, so that you can chat while having something to eat as you converse.

I’m an enthusiast of paintings and so, there’s no need for everyone to restrict yourselves due to my presence. You can simply treat me as your fan.”

After Count Alistair finished his speech, he raised his glass. “As a fan, I’m proposing a toast to everyone.”

Following that, the crowd drank the wine together.

Soothing music sounded at the same time. Count Alistair and the group of people emptied the center position and those who liked to dance took up the space.

Zi Yi glanced over at some of the men who were making their way over and said to Dou Xiangling, “Cousin, let’s go and get something to eat first.”

Dou Xiangling felt somewhat awkward. Even though everyone had yet to have dinner, the food that is served during dinner banquets is mostly used for viewing purposes and no one would really eat with everyone staring at them.

Zi Yi noticed her thoughts and simply grabbed her hand as they made their way over.

Dou Xiangling whispered to her about the unwritten rule at dinner banquets, “This will cause others to laugh at us.”

Zi Yi pretended not to hear her and soon, they arrived at the buffet area.

The food served was very abundant and everything looked particularly delicious.

Zi Yi grabbed two plates and handed one over to Dou Xiangling. “These types of unwritten rules are applicable for occasions where one has to entertain another. We’re here as guests today and what’s more, Count Alistair even said that he’s our fan. Why should we keep up our image at a fan’s house?”

Dou Xiangling was unexpectedly speechless. However, when she sensed the gazes staring in her direction from all around, she still tried to struggle a little. “No one is eating and it’ll be too embarrassing if we are the only ones eating.”

It just so happens that two women, who were standing not far from them, deliberately spoke in a tone of voice where they could hear.

“How do they have the cheek to eat? Aren’t they afraid of dirtying their clothes? It’ll be really embarrassing then.”

“With so many people looking at them, I don’t believe they won’t find it awkward and can continue to eat.”

The corner of her lips curled up when Zi Yi heard what they said and she replied to Dou Xiangling, “Why should we be embarrassed? The ones who should be embarrassed are those who find it awkward to come over despite the fact that they are salivating due to hunger.”

After Zi Yi said that, she grabbed a tong and picked up a small cake for her and Dou Xiangling.

Dou Xiangling hastily accepted it.

Zi Yi continued to walk forward.

Dou Xiangling originally found it embarrassing, but as she followed behind Zi Yi who did not feel the same way, she somehow started to let herself go.

It has been seven to eight hours since they have eaten and they were already rather hungry. If that was the case, why should they make things difficult for themselves?

Thinking of this, Dou Xiangling also picked up a tong and went to grab some fruit salad.

More and more women who wanted to see them make a joke out of themselves started to gather around.

However, when they saw Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling’s expressions as they enjoyed the food, the onlookers subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Zi Yi swept her gaze over to them and those women who did not manage to look away in time felt extremely awkward.

Dou Xiangling gave them a friendly smile. “The food here in the Count’s house is very delicious. Are you sure you don’t want some?”

The group of women looked at each other and did not manage to resist the temptation. Following that, several other women joined them.

While they ate, they chatted about today’s competition and they were soon engaged in the conversation.

“It seems like Mr. Meng is very concerned about a certain lady over there?”

A sudden voice caused Meng He to tighten his grip on the wine glass. He shifted his gaze away from the dining area and looked towards Ansel who was heading towards him.

Ansel walked to him and first raised his glass. Clearly, he wanted to touch glasses.
