Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 575: Chapter 577: Eat Quickly, It’s All Yours Since Xiaoxiao suggested they continue eating, Chu Lian also decided to go along with it — only this way, Xiangxiang wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

When they went to have the meal, Wang Xiangxiang noticed Acheng was missing and asked, ”Where’s Acheng?”

Wang Xiangxiang was indeed a good master; she never beat or looked down on her servants and always ate with them at the same table when they were out.

”I just let him eat first. He still has to feed the horses and has a lot of work, so I didn’t make him wait,” Chu Lian casually fabricated an excuse.

Hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang just kept quiet and focused on eating her meal.

As she ate quietly, she noticed that Chu Lian had added a heap of food to her bowl. She widened her eyes, puzzled.

Fearing she wouldn’t eat, Chu Lian’s tone became somewhat mischievous, ”Taking a bath made you fall asleep; you must be really weak; you need a good nourishment.”

Wang Xiangxiang replied through gritted teeth, ”Thank you for your kindness; I really do need some nourishment.”

Then she lowered her head and ate the food Chu Lian had served her. Though she looked upset on the outside, deep down, she was very pleased because Chu Lian had served her food again.

On the side, Xiaoxiao, seeing the interaction between those two, got somewhat distracted. She always found their relationship quite interesting. At that moment, Yang Ming served food into Xiaoxiao’s bowl and nonchalantly said, ”Honey, you need some nourishment too.”

”...” Xiaoxiao was speechless. Can’t you phrase it differently? Others nourish because they are ill; why does she need nourishment? This could easily be misconstrued.

Her face broke into a mischievous smile; she picked up some food and placed it in Yang Ming’s bowl, saying suggestively, ”Honey, you’re the one who really needs nourishment. Here, eat up.”

Only then did Yang Ming catch his wife’s implication that his capabilities were lacking and that he needed to boost them. He served himself another bite and placed it in his wife’s bowl, ”I’m quite fine; no need for that. It’s your petite frame that needs nourishing.”

Subsequently, the couple started serving food to each other back and forth, completely forgetting Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang at the table. Their conversation, which had started somewhat cryptically, became increasingly explicit.

Listening to them, Wang Xiangxiang’s face turned red, and Chu Lian’s expression grew stern — there were other people at the table! What’s worse, their playful serving had almost cleared the dishes. What was his Xiangxiang supposed to eat?

Unable to bear it any longer, he spoke out, ”Enough, you two. You’ve taken all the food. What are Xiangxiang and I supposed to eat?”

Chu Lian’s words instantly made Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao realize, and they immediately stopped what they were doing and shut up. They glanced at each other, then bowed their heads and began eating, giggling foolishly.

Finding the couple’s antics helpless, Chu Lian called over Xiao’er and ordered a few more dishes.

After the dishes were served, Chu Lian placed them in front of Xiangxiang and warned Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao, ”This food is for Xiangxiang and me; you two keep off.”

Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao glanced at it; if they were told not to eat, they wouldn’t, especially since they were already full.

Wang Xiangxiang was somewhat stunned by Chu Lian’s reaction because she heard him naturally call her by her name, which made her heart race again.

Seeing Wang Xiangxiang not moving her chopsticks, Chu Lian served her food while saying, ”Don’t just stare; eat up, it’s all yours.”

The doting words made Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming almost choke.

Xiaoxiao, still in a playful mood, mimicked Chu Lian’s tone and told Yang Ming, ”Honey, eat up; it’s all yours.”

”...” Wang Xiangxiang knew exactly what Xiaoxiao meant, and her face stayed hot throughout the meal.
