Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1239 - 1241: Signs of Jealousy (Part 8)

A casual comment, spoken out loud, seemed somehow off, but what exactly was off about it?

What exactly felt off about it?

Xin Xiaoxiao frowned, replaying the comment in her mind, trying to savor it...

You’re usually so considerate, I thought you’d give me lukewarm water, but I overlooked that you didn’t have the mind to care about the water temperature at that moment...

There’s nothing wrong with that, right? When they go out to eat, he’d always give her lukewarm water.

No problem, nothing wrong.

Xin Xiaoxiao confirmed it in her mind, her mood instantly brightened, she lifted her head and cheerfully called out to everyone: "Let’s eat, I’m starving."

With that, she stepped forward, leading the group.

Her small figure was lively and energetic once again.

Qi Helian smiled and asked, "Isn’t today your ceremony of sworn brotherhood?"

"I don’t want to anymore, almost burned my tongue, who wants him as a brother anyway." Xin Xiaoxiao raised her hand, waving it dismissively at them.

Her steps had already reached the door of the private room.

Turning around, she went in.

Qi Helian glanced at Xiang Yiqing, who kept a straight face, acting indifferent.

He sped up, entered the room, caught up with Xin Xiaoxiao, "Why don’t we make a pact instead?"

"Sure." Xin Xiaoxiao readily agreed with a nod.

She was quite eager and hopeful.

Qi Helian nodded, "It’ll make this meal worth it."

Xin Xiaoxiao laughed along, "Exactly."

Sitting back down at their places, Qi Helian looked at Xin Xiaoxiao, turning the topic, "But if we make a pact, you’ll have to be my goddaughter or niece, and have me as your godfather or uncle."

"What are you doing?"

Being teased by Qi Helian, Xin Xiaoxiao asked, smiling leisurely, "Could it be you also want a forbidden romance like Ji Chicheng did? Or do you want me to make up for some of your regrets?"

Indeed... it’s not easy to take liberties with just anyone.

Qi Helian immediately closed his mouth.

Damn, did they just get caught in this crossfire?

Ji Anning’s mouth twitched as she again realized that Xin Xiaoxiao was definitely not someone to be messed with.

Everyone had been seated for a while, and the dishes kept coming, yet no one touched their chopsticks.

Just listening to Qi Helian and Xin Xiaoxiao banter there.

Xiang Yiqing finally couldn’t hold back, looking at Qi Helian and Xin Xiaoxiao, he asked, "Should we leave and give you space to discuss?"

He didn’t even pause his gaze on them, and after speaking, he reached over to take Qiu Yang’s empty bowl, serving her a bowl of soup.

And then he told her, "Don’t worry about them, just eat."

His thoughts were straightforward since she was brought along by him, so surely she should be looked after well, couldn’t be careless.

Qi Helian cast a gaze at Xiang Yiqing, teasingly asked, "We’re just joking a bit, why take it so seriously."

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, everyone unanimously picked up their chopsticks, burying themselves in their meal.

"Who ordered this soup, it doesn’t look appetizing at all, it’s greasy, must not taste good."

Xin Xiaoxiao had tried almost every dish on the table, and the soup was the only one left. She turned it in front of her, taking an empty bowl, intending to have some soup.

Yet upon seeing it, she lost interest again, putting down the bowl to complain.

Because Ji Anning had been having too much greasy food lately, she specifically ordered a lighter soup today, and there were only a couple of oil spots floating on it, how was it greasy?

The most awkward part was Qiu Yang was currently sipping on the soup Xiang Yiqing had just served her, enjoying it immensely.
