Everyone that was already eating frowned at those words and they sped up!
Even Jun Linyuan frowned a little.
Feng Xun, Xuan Yi, Feng Xiaoqi, the beautiful lady… Everyone was attacking the dishes as fast as they could!
Especially the beautiful lady. Feng Wu had poured her two cups of water and changed her plate three times. However, her belly was as flat as ever, which made one wonder where all that food went.
Feng Yiran watched Jun Linyuan closely.
He would pick every dish Jun Linyuan chose and copy Jun Linyuan's speed as well.
Feng Yiran thought that by copying everything the crown prince did, with time, the latter would definitely see his loyalty.
However… the frown on Jun Linyuan's face grew darker and he was obviously irritated.
After Jun Linyuan took a piece of steamed beef in rice flour, there was only one piece left on the plate.
Jun Linyuan chewed a little faster, for he was planning to…
However, as soon as he took that piece, Feng Yiran followed suit and took the last one.
Jun Linyuan's face darkened right away!
Feng Yiran didn't realize at all what he had done. Putting the beef in his mouth, he praised, "This beef is really good. It's rich with flavor, which lingers in your mouth. It's not like anything I've tried before."
Feng Yiran narrowed his eyes as he savored the taste.
Jun Linyuan moved his brooding gaze away from the half-piece of beef in Feng Yiran's bowl to the pork fillet with sweet and sour sauce a little distance away.
Fairy Muyao and Feng Liu exchanged looks and both smirked.
Fairy Muyao raised her chin proudly. "I can't believe you're even able to put such coarse food in your mouths. You guys are not picky at all, but I am."
Feng Yiran said to Fairy Muyao, "My dear lady, these dishes may look unseemly, but there's really something special about them. Please try some."
Saying that, Feng Yiran put a piece of that pork fillet on Fairy Muyao's plate.
There were only two pieces left to begin with and one had gone to Fairy Muyao now…
In order to show his love for his sister, Feng Yiran gave that last piece to Feng Liu and said cheerfully, "Dear sister, do try it. It's sweet and sour and rather palatable."
Feng Yiran was so devoted to demonstrating to Jun Linyuan what a caring brother he was that he completely missed Jun Linyuan's move — the crown prince's chopsticks were halfway to the pork fillet…
Jun Linyuan's face was so dark that one could practically extract ink from it.
It just so happened that —
With Jun Linyuan around, Fairy Muyao was never going to eat something she deemed greasy and thick. Plus, she was afraid that the brown sauce would stick to her lips and teeth. Hence, she said in disdain, "I'm never going to eat it! Brother Feng, please don't force me!"
Feng Liu thought exactly the same way as Fairy Muyao!
Hence, she put down her chopsticks and shook her head. "No! Over my dead body!"
Feng Yiran was so disappointed in his sister. Had it not been for all these people here, he would have given Feng Liu a lecture, jabbing his finger in her forehead. How could she not see that this was a rare opportunity to impress the crown prince? She was so stupid!
Jun Linyuan glanced at Fairy Muyao's plate, which Fairy Muyao didn't notice.
But, when Jun Linyuan's glance flickered round to Feng Liu —
Feng Liu's heart raced and her cheeks flushed! Involuntarily, she played with a lock of loose hair and was too shy to look up.
Feng Xun and the others devoured everything like wolves, and the nine dishes were simply not enough. Soon, all that was left was the chili oil on the plates.
"Are you really not going to eat that?" Feng Xun stared at Fairy Muyao's plate.
Fairy Muyao had barely shaken her head when, with a whoosh, the pork fillet was in Feng Xun's mouth.
"And you don't want it either?" Feng Xun asked Feng Liu.
Feng Liu didn't know what to say. It was just a piece of meat. Why was Young Lord Feng so… He was the young lord of a noble family and a prominent figure in the imperial capital! Why was he behaving like this?
"Yes or no?!" Feng Xun asked impatiently.
Feng Liu finally came back to herself and shook her head right away. "No —"
However, no sooner had she said that word when Xuan Yi's chopsticks arrived, taking that piece of pork fillet.
"Xuan. Yi!" Feng Xun wanted to punch the guy in the face!
Xuan Yi shrugged and slowly chewed on the meat, further irritating Feng Xun.
Fairy Muyao couldn't take it anymore. "It was just a piece of meat and this was just another meal! Why are you people like this?"
"You won't understand!" Feng Xun rolled his eyes at her impatiently.
Fairy Muyao indeed didn't understand… Why did she get the feeling that Feng Xun despised her?
Seeing the satiated faces around the table, Feng Wu prompted them in her head: You're all fed now, so get moving! Don't just sit here! She still had her Immortal Spiritual Fruit to work on!
Feng Xun noticed Feng Wu's gaze and snapped, "What are you looking at?"
Preoccupied with her Immortal Spiritual Fruit juice, Feng Wu replied without thinking, "I'm waiting for you people to leave."
Feng Wu shocked herself as soon as she said that. Gosh! What had she said?!
How could she have spoken her mind?! Shit! She was practically shooing them away! Would Jun Linyuan kill her for saying that?!
As expected, Feng Xun was taken by surprise and so was everyone else…
Feng Wu was at a loss for words. What should she do now? What could she do to make up for it? She was still a useless girl, she couldn't afford to offend these young lords yet!
However, to Feng Wu's surprise, Feng Xun nodded and smiled in a suggestive manner. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Little Feng Wu, you two-faced woman! Finally, some truth from you!"
Feng Wu was dumbfounded. "… What did I say?"
"If you don't want Boss Jun to leave, just say so. We won't understand if you say it so indirectly." Feng Xun's smile was full of innuendo and he was ready for some major gossip.
