Chapter 144 - Shengsheng, he called her deep inside

If he didn't do something to pacify himself, he thought, he was likely to do something out of control.

So he watched as the man jostled her into his arms.

This brief embrace silenced the roaring beast in his heart.

He wasn't an ignorant child, and had realized that he had absolutely no ordinary feelings for her.

He would be angry, jealous, and possessive of her.

When he suddenly heard her say blind date, that image that popped in his head made him want to kill!

"Uncle, Auntie Liu, I'm also hungry. Shall we tour around the snack street first and see what's good to eat before we decide?" Mo Feng swooped in at the right time, relieving Liu Yusheng's heart.

She knew that his eyes were on her even without looking up, and she could feel the pressure of his gaze.

There was also an extremely subtle aggression mixed in there.

Like the person he was. He appeared gentle and calm, but in fact, his strength was buried in his bones.

At the snack street, Mo Feng, who had been quiet for a long time, began to rejoice again.

"Wow! Lamb Kebabs! Fishball balls! Fried Tofu!…I want it all!" Every time he went to a stall, the boy's eyes would light up, as if looking at something novel. "Uncle, buy this. Let's eat this!"

The man automatically blocked out his yelling and took the three people to a store down the street. He chose a table, and sat down, "Boss, four bowls of beef wontons with scallions."

Liu Yusheng couldn't help but look up at him again.

Beef wontons with scallions were her favorite.

Was it a coincidence?

What was more, looking at his familiarity when he ordered wontons, it seemed that it wasn't his first time here.

The man did not respond to her questioning gaze and sat there naturally, with an aristocratic air that looked incompatible with the environment, but he didn't look uncomfortable. On the contrary, he elevated the level of the restaurant.

On the other hand, Mo Feng wilted a bit. "Are we going to eat wonton only? Okay, can I have something else after this?"

He had eaten wontons at the palace, but they weren't fresh.

The man still ignored him.

This made Liu Yusheng begin to believe the truth of what the boy said yesterday. His youngest uncle really didn't care much for him.

Wei Hong kept her words to the minimum, but she sat upright, watching her master order wontons. It meant that he wasn't picky about food.

They quickly served the bowls of wontons in a clear soup, sprinkled with scallions. The fragrance immediately permeated the air and instantly whetted one's appetite.

When she smelled the aroma, Liu Yusheng felt hungry at once, so she took a spoon and scooped up the noodles and ate them while blowing them cool.

Blow to cool it a bit, then take small bites and chew gently. The way she buries her head in her food smacked of an animal.

Feng Qingbai watched with a soft smile slowly emerging from his slender eyes.

Every move she made brought him back to the good old days.

It might be the most bitter and sweetest time in his life.

"Uncle, why aren't you eating? Don't you like it? Then give it to me!" At first, Mo Feng was reluctant to eat wonton, but now he thought he could eat two more bowls. Seeing that the man's bowl was still intact, the food possessed him, and he momentarily forgot to observe to his speech and behavior and lost his usual cleverness.

As soon as he yelled, Liu Yusheng raised her head to look at Feng Qingbai.

She met his gaze that he didn't have time to withdraw, and the doting tenderness that didn't dissipate from his eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat, and that familiar feeling sprang up again!

All of a sudden, fire ignited in her heart and she blurted, "What are you looking at? Are you going to eat it or not?!"

The young woman glared at him in anger. Her eyes were especially bright because of her anger, and her lips reddened from the wonton. Even her cheeks flushed from the heat. This look resembled that of an extremely pissed off kitten that made him want to pick up and ruffle its frizzy fur.

"What are you smiling at? Nothing's funny!" The young lady's eyes grew even more rounded as she threw another angry remark.

Feng Qingbai realized that he was smiling, so he didn't hold back and let the stifled laughter out of his chest. In the eyes that were trained on her was plain tenderness that the breeze couldn't sweep away.

He actually laughed more presumptuously. Liu Yusheng initially thought that she should be even more annoyed, but considering her own appearance, she was indeed quite like an unreasonable cat.

After a while, she couldn't resist any longer and tittered.

The people going to and fro around them, and the hustle and bustle seemed to have nothing to do with them at the moment.

The man and woman stared at each other, their peaceful and quiet chuckles fading in the downtown.

After that relieving laughter, something broke between them.

The hint of awkwardness and estrangement that existed when they were together earlier invisibly vanished.

"Why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?" After the inexplicable depression in her heart dissipated in the sound of laughter, Liu Yusheng spoke to the man in a more natural manner.

She didn't notice it herself.

Feng Qingbai looked at the wontons in her bowl that were about to be wiped out. "Is one bowl enough?"

"It's enough. I'm very full after eating one bowl!" Liu Yusheng was baffled. Did she look like a big eater?

Feng Qingbai frowned invisibly. When they were kids, he went to eat wontons with her. At the age of six, she would have little leftovers in one bowl.

After so many years, her only improvement was eating a tiny bit more wontons than before?

How would she grow?

"Why don't you order another bowl? It's not good to stay hungry." Mo Feng has already taken the bowl at the man's hand. Sensing Liu Yusheng's eyes, he covered the bowl with his two hands to protect his food, then blinked his big eyes at her.

The corner of Liu Yusheng's mouth twitched. Was the palace starving him?

"You can order a bowl for me." The man gazed at the vivid little expression on the young woman's face and smiled fondly.

"You just ordered four bowls of beef wonton as soon as you sat down, but now you need to be served," Liu Yusheng spat out the remark, and turned back to order another bowl.

He heard her little complaint and laughed without saying anything.

Because there were so few such opportunities, he must create one, so that he could have more to reminisce later on.

After the young woman complained, she turned to the young emperor and muttered, "Eat slowly. Don't force yourself to eat when you're full. It's bad for your stomach.

But this kind of nagging fell extraordinarily beautiful to his ears.

Shengsheng, he called her in his heart.

It was almost noon when they returned to the venue. Merchants were sitting behind each display stall, and many people surrounded each stall for consultation, bargaining and placing orders.

Liu Yusheng's group walked through almost the entire venue, but in the end didn't find any of the stalls or displayed goods of Baicao Valley!

That man probably wouldn't show up anymore, or perhaps, he was no longer able to come.

It was not much of a surprise, but in the end it was disappointing.

"Why do you want to meet someone from Baicao Valley?" Feng Qingbai asked.

"Because Baicao Valley's technique of refining medicinal pills is exquisite. I'm lacking in this area, so I want to have an exchange with them in order to improve myself." The people she wanted to meet didn't come, thus the things at the venue didn't interest Liu Yusheng. The group simply walked slowly to the exit, and as for their stall, Da Huang was enough to watch over it.

Liu Yusheng has never interfered with Qian Wanjin's decision in business.
