“Girl, you must be hungry. Sit down and eat,” Xuanyuan Ce called out.
Shen Yijia looked up at the sky. It was indeed time for dinner, but she did not tell Madam Li that she was not going back to eat.
The kids were in school, and even Lin Shao was busy in the shop and could not go back. She was worried that Madam Li would wait at home. She was about to say that she wanted to go home to eat when she met Xuanyuan Ce’s hopeful eyes. For some reason, she could not refuse.
She scratched her head and instructed, “MO Yuan, go home and tell Mother that I’m not going back to eat.”
MO Yuan glanced at Xuanyuan Ce and said expressionlessly, “I’ll pick Miss up later.”
Xuanyuan Ce also waved his hand and said, “No need. I’ll send someone to send her back later.”
MO Yuan looked at Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia nodded. “Then don’t make an extra trip. It’s quite cold.”
MO Yuan stayed silent.
“Let’s not talk about anything else. Your medical skills are indeed amazing,” Xuanyuan Ce said meaningfully. He waved his hand to dismiss the servants and personally scooped a bowl of soup for Shen Yijia. “Hurry up and try it. These dishes suit your taste.”
Even though it was just the two of them, the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
Shen Yijia thought to herself that he was really extravagant. She looked up at Xuanyuan Ce, who was as attentive as an old mother, and blinked. “Is there no one to eat with you usually?”
Xuanyuan Ce paused in his actions.
Shen Yijia thought that she had hit the nail on the head. “If you’re lonely next time, let Chu Feng eat with you. Don’t have such a strong sense of ranks.”
Xuanyuan Ce shook his head and laughed. “It’s not that no one eats with me. It’s just that I haven’t eaten with my family in a long time.”
“Oh.” Shen Yijia remembered that Xuanyuan Ce had once said that she was very similar to his daughter. Still, she felt that she was nothing like Xuanyuan Ye.
She picked up a meatball and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing that she had eaten it, Xuanyuan Ce also stuffed one in his mouth.
“Father!”
“Cough, cough, cough.” He almost choked to death.
However, Xuanyuan Ce could not care less. He swallowed the entire meatball and looked at Shen Yijia with red eyes. He thought of something and looked elsewhere guiltily.
“What… what did you call me?”
Shen Yijia looked at him strangely. “Didn’t you say that I look like Xuanyuan
Seeing that he was still puzzled, Shen Yijia continued to explain, “You’ve helped my husband and I so much and even treated me to a meal. I should repay you, but I can’t run to the Xuanyuan Kingdom to help you kidnap Xuanyuan Ye, so I’ll allow you to treat me as her for the time being.” Xuanyuan Ce suddenly lost his appetite, but..
“Then call me that again.”
Shen Yijia choked. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. After a while, she shook her head repeatedly. “No, I can’t say it anymore.”
Because of her father, who had abandoned her in her previous life, and Shen Pingxiu, who she had seen in this life, she felt that her father was not a good person.
Xuanyuan Ce thought to himself, “What do you mean you can’t say it anymore? And what’s with your disdainful gaze?”
He thought for a moment and picked up a meatball for Shen Yijia with the common chopsticks. “Why don’t you acknowledge me as your adoptive father?”
He would start with being her adoptive father. In the future, it would not be so difficult to accept that he was her biological father.
Shen Yijia was shocked. Her face was filled with disbelief. Without thinking, she shook her head and refused. “No.’
“Why? I can treat you to a meal every day in the future.” Xuanyuan Ce picked up another meatball for her.
This girl had eaten this meatball and called him father.
“No, if my hubby gets jealous, I’ll be unhappy.” Shen Yijia’s expression was serious as she ate the meatballs.
“How dare he…”
“Huh?” Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes.
Xuanyuan Ce’s voice stopped abruptly. He chuckled and said, “I mean that one more person will treat you well. He would be overjoyed. How can he be jealous?”
Shen Yijia stuffed all the food in her bowl into her mouth and wiped her mouth with her sleeve. “You don’t understand.”
Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.
Shen Yijia picked up the soup and finished it. “Let me put it this way. If a beautiful old woman who’s not related to my husband by blood is good to him, I’ll definitely be unhappy.”
“Apart from his family, I’m the only woman who can treat him well.”
So he was an old man?
Xuanyuan Ce’s heart skipped a beat. He did not know if he should be happy that Shen Yijia praised him for being good -looking or sad that he was considered a blood relative..
