Chapter 35 of Volume 1: Cultivating Feelings
At the dinner table, Xia Jin Han looked at Shang Guan Qing Er's pitiful expression, just like a cat about to be abandoned, and his icy heart softened.
He patted her little head, smiling faintly, his tone full of doting, "Nonsense, who dares to dislike you, brother will help you teach him a lesson."
Having said that, Xia Jinhan picked up the bowl of fish soup in front of him, scooped a mouthful and sent it into his mouth. Instantly, a refreshing flavor spread throughout his oral cavity, light yet fragrant, lingering on.
The salty vegetables are seasoned with ginger to remove the fishy smell, and some expensive ingredients are added, along with fresh live fish, tender tofu, unique flavor, endless aftertaste. On this hot summer day, it gives people a very comfortable feeling.
Xia Jinhans took a bite of the fish and tofu, and her eyes lit up involuntarily. The fish was smooth and delicious, the tofu was fresh and tender, juicy and melted in her mouth, easily arousing people's appetite, making them eager to eat more.
As Xia Jinhan finished drinking a bowl of fish soup, Shangguan Qing'er's smile at the corner of her mouth became even more radiant. Standing beside him, holding his clothes, she asked, "Was it delicious? Brother..."
"Hmm, not bad." Xia Jin Han looked at the little girl with satisfaction, really didn't expect that a three-year-old child could give him such a surprise, it was truly astonishing.
"Is that just okay?" Is that just okay? Then she failed. She wanted to take the opportunity to ask him to teach her how to play the piano...
Seeing the expectation in Shangguan Qing'er's eyes, Xia Jincheng smiled and poked her forehead, saying, "It's delicious, Qing'er is getting more and more sensible. Speak up, what's your purpose?"
"What? You know all this?" Upper Official Light Swallow rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, Is he a tapeworm in her belly or something?
But thinking about it, since the Crown Prince had already spoken, she couldn't miss this opportunity, "Qing'er wants to learn the zither..."
Xia Jin Han ladled a bowl of fish soup for herself, and lazily said, "Since you're so sincere, then from now on, make three bowls of fish soup for me every month, and I'll agree to your request. How's that?"
Xia Jinhansaid, and slowly started drinking the soup, with a look of enjoyment.
Shangguan Qing'er was so angry that her teeth itched, wasn't this bullying too much? She was only three years old, and he actually had the nerve to ask a three-year-old child to make fish soup for him three times a month?
However, since she is a three-year-old kid, what she says must not be believed casually, hehe...
"Alright, Brother Jin can't go back on his word, let's shake on it." Shangguan Qing'er pouted her small mouth and stretched out her chubby little hand, holding it up in front of him.
Xia Jin's eyes flashed with a sly smile, and her slender fingers stretched out, hooking onto Shangguan Qing'er's little finger.
The warm and soft touch made Xia Jinhan's heart slowly melt, and when she saw Shangguan Qing'er's peerless smile, it seemed as if the whole world had become warm.
Shangguan Qing'er got a satisfactory answer and returned to her own position, holding the ginseng chicken soup that Xia Jinhan had someone prepare for her, drinking it in big gulps.
After drinking, she swept away the remaining meat dishes on the table like a whirlwind, and only then did she let out a satisfied burp. She wiped her small mouth with a handkerchief and saw Xia Jinhan still slowly and elegantly sipping his fish soup, and Shangguan Qing'er couldn't help but swallow another mouthful of saliva.
It's been a long time since she had fish head tofu soup, and she misses it...
Xia Jinhan saw that she had finished eating other things and shifted her gaze to the fish soup in front of her, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Want a drink?"
Shangguan Qing'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded honestly, "I do."
Xia Jinhan scooped up a spoonful from her own bowl and beckoned to her, "Come over."
Shangguan Qing'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran to Xia Jincheng's side with a thud. Looking at him as he brought a small spoon of fragrant soup in front of her, Shangguan Qing'er was afraid that he would regret it, so she opened her mouth and drank the fish soup in one gulp.
The familiar and refreshing flavor made Shangguan Li'er close her eyes in enjoyment, smiling contentedly, "It's really delicious."
In the past, it was always grandma who made this soup for her, with a taste of grandma...
Watching the interaction between these two, Qingyun and Lihua were both shocked with wide eyes, completely unable to believe that all of this was real. His Highness had always been particular about cleanliness, things that others had touched, he generally wouldn't touch. Yet now he was using his own personal spoon to feed Shangguan Ling'er...
What surprised Qingyun and Lihua the most was that after feeding Shangguan Qinger, Xia Jinhans still acted as if nothing had happened and continued to drink soup with that spoon...
After dinner, Xia Jinhan continued to work in his study, but Shangguan Qing'er didn't go back to sleep as usual. Instead, she brought a plate of pastries and followed Xia Jinhan into his study with soft and hard bubbles.
Just then, looking at Guan Lian'er sitting by her desk eating snacks and secretly glancing at herself, Xia Jincheng suddenly lost the heart to continue working.
Putting down the pen in her hand, Xia Jinhan looked at Shangguan Qing'er who was constantly eating pastries and had crumbs all over her mouth, and said, "You came to my study just to watch me work?"
Shangguan Qing'er nodded and said in a soft voice, "Yes, Qing'er wants to develop feelings with her brother."
"Hmph... Cultivate feelings? She can actually say something like this."
Xia Jinhan pulled her onto his lap and asked faintly, "What is meant by cultivating feelings?"
Shangguan Qing'er tossed the plate in her hand to one side, clapped her hands together, and wrapped her arms around Xia Jincheng's waist, rubbing against him. With a sly smile, she said, "That's it... Brother has been so busy lately, no time to accompany Qing'er, Qing'er is afraid that brother will forget about Qing'er."
Xia Jin Han gently hugged her, his tone much softer, and said, "Just got back, there are a lot of things to do, in a few days when brother is free, I'll take you out for a walk, okay?"
It's older brother, not this palace...
Shangguan Qing'er's face was buried in Xia Jinhan's arms, smiling complacently and nodding her head, "Alright, brother said so, can't deceive Qing'er."
"When did your brother ever cheat you? Don't be silly, go back and rest early, aren't you tired?" Xia Jinhan patted her little butt and asked with a smile.
"No, Young Master wants to accompany Brother..." In Shangguan Qing'er's coquettish voice, there was a hint of spoiledness.
Xia Jin Han couldn't outdo her, so he let her continue sitting on his lap, then picked up his brush and continued to work busily.
Smelling the familiar scent on Xia Jinhan's body, enjoying Xia Jinhan's rare gentleness and indulgence, Shangguan Qing'er closed her eyes with a hint of a smile.
To say that she had previously suspected Xia Jinhan's good intentions towards her, now she can basically confirm that Xia Jinhan is really good to her, not for that so-called purpose. She is good at acting and understands people's hearts, so she is relieved now. Because she knows that from now on, no matter what happens, this man will not easily abandon her, will not easily leave her. He will give her a warm embrace like now, protect her.
And she can also rely on him with peace of mind, letting herself be a three-year-old child again, without having to worry every day about how to survive...
