Chapter 362: His Alone
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
Mubai shrugged innocently at Xinghe as if saying, I canât help it.
Meaning this was all Munanâs handiwork, he couldnât do anything about it. âSister-in-law, can we join you for dinner?â Munan again asked naturally. Xinghe didnât answer and Munan instantly turned towards Chengwu, âUncle Xia, sorry for disturbing your family dinner; I hope you donât mind if we join in.â
âOf⊠of course not. Iâll go get you too some utensils.â
It wasnât just Mubai; it appeared that Chengwu was also helpless before Munan.
Xia Zhi, on the other hand, was getting increasingly annoyed at Munan because he had stolen his place!
Mubai and him each took the seat beside Xinghe so where was he going to sit? He also wanted to sit beside his sisterâŠ
The thing that made him gloomier was the fact that his father had welcomed his competition in with such enthusiasm. Chengwu quickly returned with two new sets of utensils. Munan accepted them from Chengwu and really started to dig in.
Unlike his cousin, Mubai picked up some food to put into Xingheâs bowl. The practiced way he did it showcased how often he had done it in the past. His open display of love and kindness towards Xinghe made the atmosphere around the table rather weird and complicated. Chengwu kept stealing glances at them, Mubai pretended he didnât see it and kept putting the food onto Xingheâs plate.
Even Xinghe felt embarrassed. âThatâs enough, I can eat on my own.â
âOkay,â Mubai took back his chopsticks with a smile but not before adding, âYou have to eat more, youâve lost too much weight.â
However, she had a hard time raising her appetite being gawked at by Mubai. Xia Zhi suddenly coughed and asked, âJust now you said youâre here to thank my sister, what is that all about?â
Munan replied with a smile, âSister-in-law helped me with a giant favor so Iâm here to personally thank her.â
âWhat kind of favor?â
âWork-related favor. Sister-in-law is truly impressive.â
Xia Zhi said proudly, âOf course, she is. She is my sister, my idol.â
Munan nodded in agreement and looked at Xinghe with admiration. âSister-in-law, from now on, you too will be my idol!â
âPlease call me by my name,â Xinghe corrected him with a frown.
Munan shook his head vehemently. âHow could I do that? The utter disrespect! Plus, in my heart, you will always be my sister-in-law. Or how about this? I will call you Big Sister Xia!â
âBut thatâs my sister,â Xia Zhi finally couldnât help but chime in with jealousy.
Munan nodded smilingly. âAnd my sister-in-law.â
ââŠâ Xia Zhi really wanted to chase this person out. My sister has nothing to do with their family, why must he try to steal my sister away?
Mubai found the two of them extremely juvenile because Xinghe could only be his.
Xinghe finally couldnât stand Mubaiâs constant gentle gaze on her anymore.
She asked softly, âOther than thanking me, is there another reason why the two of you are here?â
âNot really, we just want to discuss some things with you, but those can wait, letâs finish dinner first,â Mubai said gently and he moved to pick up more dishes for Xinghe.
âThen, letâs finish this meal quickly,â Xinghe said and started eating in a hurry, she just wanted this awkward dinner to be over with.
After she finished her meal, she put down her utensils and stood up to say, âCome, we can continue this conversation in my study.â
She didnât care whether they had finished their meal or not and strode upstairs. Mubai naturally moved to follow.
Munan who was still eating also put down his chopsticks and ran to catch up.
Xia Zhi thought of following but, for some reason, he felt his sister would just chase him away..
