Chapter 2528: Chapter 2528: I’m Disgusting You on Purpose

The preparation of braised pork ribs is quite meticulous; the ribs should be crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, oily but not greasy, and brightly colored to be delicious.

Jian Yufei’s family all love this dish.

Of course, her mother likes it too.

Nangong Xu elegantly laid the napkin, hanging it over his chest—

He said blandly, "These dishes are all Ruyue’s favorites, you should try them too."

"Do you know why my mom loves braised ribs?" Jian Yufei asked with a smile.

It’s because her dad loved them.

Nangong Xu’s gaze turned a few degrees colder: "If you don’t shut up, you can get out!"

Jian Yufei smiled faintly and stopped speaking.

She picked up her knife and fork, buried herself in eating voraciously, even deliberately making noise while eating.

Nangong Ruyue’s dining etiquette was very standard; watching her eat was like appreciating art.

Jian Yufei, on the other hand, did the opposite, eating with absolutely no image.

She just wanted Nangong Xu to know that she and her mother were not the same.

Nangong Xu frowned at her but said nothing.

He didn’t eat much, and he didn’t even touch the braised ribs.

Jian Yufei finished all the food before her, feeling very full.

The originally waist-cinched dress was bulging now, showing her little belly.

Jian Yufei couldn’t care less, since Ruan Tianling wasn’t here, she didn’t need to mind her image at all.

Nangong Xu could naturally see this little thought of hers.

He swirled the red wine in his goblet casually, saying, "Faced with your mother’s ashes, can you still eat so cheerfully? Aren’t you afraid of making Ruyue sad?"

Jian Yufei’s heart skipped a beat—

Could he know something?!

Whether he knows or not, she mustn’t show any flaw.

Jian Yufei sneered, "If I can’t eat, it’ll make my mom sad. Besides, I’m deliberately trying to disgust you, haven’t you noticed?"

Nangong Xu’s dark eyes flashed with coldness.

"You don’t have to try too hard to disgust me, your existence is already enough to make me sick."

"Then I’m truly honored." Jian Yufei laughed brightly.

Nangong Xu snorted coldly, holding the ashes and standing up.

"Ruyue, I’m taking you for a walk." He said softly and lovingly to the Ashes Box.

Jian Yufei was instantly covered in goosebumps.

Has he been holding the Ashes Box for the past couple of days?

That’s too... creepy...

Nangong Xu walked up to her, looking down at her imposingly: "Follow!"

Jian Yufei stood up silently, trailing behind him. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

...

The sun outside was quite intense, and as Nangong Xu stepped out of the living room, a bodyguard opened a black umbrella to shield him from the sun.

A bodyguard also held an umbrella for Jian Yufei.

But the black umbrella looked too grim.

Jian Yufei didn’t like black, but she had no say.

Nangong Xu held the Ashes Box with both hands, walked slowly, seriously surveying every corner and scenery here.

"Ruyue, this is your dream Arcadia, can you see it?" He spoke to the Ashes Box tenderly.

"There are your favorite lavenders, you said to plant large areas of them outside the window. So every morning when you wake up, you can see a sea of purple flowers..."

"There are also your favorite peach blossoms here, let me take you to see them."

Nangong Xu kept talking tenderly to the Ashes Box, oblivious to anyone else.

Jian Yufei followed behind him expressionlessly, just hoping Nangong Xu would completely ignore her.

In front of the castle was a large area of lavender, and behind it was the Peach Blossom Forest.

Peach blossoms bloom in March, now March has already passed.
