Chapter 90 - No! Over My Dead Body!
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!”
