Chapter 804: Destined To Be The Center Of Attention.

Su Ranqing looked at Shi Caining in surprise. "Caining really knows how to cook?"

He had just addressed her as Miss Li, but now he actually called her Caining. This made Shi Caining feel a little awkward.

"It's okay. At least, I think so." Shi Caining smiled faintly. "Don't listen to my father's praises. In the hearts of parents, everything about their children is the best."

Su Ranqing looked at Li Tingshen, who smiled meaningfully. "Whether it's true or not, why don't you go and see if it's true?"

"Alright, I'll definitely visit my uncle's house when I have time!" Su Ranqing said with a smile, her generous manner offending him.

Li Tingshen found an excuse to leave, while Su Ranqing was still sitting opposite to Shi Caining. Although there were many socialites who kept looking over, none of them dared to go forward.

After all, Shi Caining had become Li Tingshen's daughter. They would only dare to go over and snatch her man if they were courting death.

Shi Caining was indifferent. After she ate some salad on her plate, she picked up the red wine at the side and took a sip.

"Miss Li, you don't look too happy?" Su Ranqing looked at her indifferently, his eyes flickering.

Shi Caining pursed her lips and laughed self-mockingly. "I am a little unhappy. Actually... Mr. Su should know about my past, right?"

Su Ranqing was startled. He had indeed not paid any attention to the news of Shi Caining before. However, his parents had mentioned to him that Li Tingshen had taken back a daughter.

After all, women were all gossips. Even if Madam Su did not know the inside story, many servants knew about these gossips.

When they mentioned Shi Caining, a servant who had been with the Su family for more than ten years interjected, "At that time, was it Shi Caining? My granddaughter often mentioned her. She said that she and Gu Kuangen were not married and lived together. She even had a daughter. Now, she actually left that brat the moment she was out of the month. She must have disliked him, right?"

Therefore, at this moment, Su Ranqing had a certain understanding of Shi Caining.

"I'm sorry, I overheard someone mentioning you." Su Ranqing was gentle and refined. His smile was also somewhat free and easy, giving off the gentleness and romance of an artist.

Shi Caining did not feel ashamed. She nodded. "It's fine. After all, becoming the daughter of the Li family is destined to attract attention."

She stood up and picked out some fruits to eat. "Mr. Su has high expectations for his future partner, right?"

Su Ranqing was startled, and a trace of unhappiness flashed across his eyes. "Of course."

Although his mother had mentioned asking him to pay attention to whether there were any suitable socialites at the gourmet festival.

However, Su Ranqing did not expect to meet anyone he liked here. Of course, he understood Li Tingshen's intentions.

However, out of courtesy, he could not bear to reject her. Thus, he came over to sit with Shi Caining for a while. He did not expect her to ask him directly, and Su Ranqing felt a little embarrassed.

No matter how bad he was, he would not marry a woman who had just given birth, right?

"That's good. My request is also very high. I will not marry unless I have Gu Kuangen. Therefore, I think that you would not want to try my cooking." Shi Caining glanced at him indifferently. Her lips gently opened and she ate a piece of apple.

Su Ranqing did not expect that Shi Caining would be more direct in stating her position. He could not help but chuckle and all the awkwardness disappeared.

"Miss Li is really direct. I understand."

"It's good that you understand!" Shi Caining smiled sweetly. This Su Ranqing was also a smart person.

"However... I noticed that Uncle Li's complexion is much better than last year. Previously, the whites of his eyes had been bloodshot for many years, but now they have faded quite a bit. He must have gotten better sleep, right? Besides, I don't think I've ever seen him praise his daughter like this." Su Ranqing looked curiously at Shi Caining.
