Chapter 88: A Kiss

"The night is deep, and eating too much can lead to indigestion."

Shen Chuwei had only eaten half her fill; without being fully sated, she couldn't fall asleep.

She held up a finger and promised, "Your Highness, what if your concubine eats just one more bowl, is that alright?"

Xiao Jinyan flatly refused, "No."

"..." Shen Chuwei: "Your Highness, do you know why my grandfather lived to a ripe old age?"

Xiao Jinyan asked curiously, "Why?"

Shen Chuwei said seriously, "Because my grandfather never cared how many bowls of rice I ate."

Xiao Jinyan was stunned.

Taking advantage of his distraction, Shen Chuwei scooped herself another bowl of rice and ate a mouthful with satisfaction.

When Xiao Jinyan saw this, he finally realized what she meant; was she daring to say he was meddling too much?

"Your boldness is growing."
