Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302: You Are Not a Lady Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302: You Are Not a Lady Jian Yufei looked at the little guy in surprise, provoking a roll of his eyes from him.

“Don’t get any wrong ideas, this is just what a gentleman should do.”

So that’s it…

“Thank you, little gentleman.” Jian Yufei smiled at him, but Ansel disdainfully looked away.

Qi Ruisen suddenly asked with a laugh, “What about me?”

Jian Yufei gave him a glance and responded indifferently, “Thanks.”

“Yufei, this is differential treatment. Ansel doesn’t fancy you, yet you don’t dislike him. I’m nice to you, and yet you find me very annoying.” Qi Ruisen teased her half-seriously, half-jokingly as he sat down beside her.

Jian Yufei replied coolly, “He’s a child, are you jealous of a child?”

“Yes, I am jealous.”

She didn’t expect him to admit it so freely and didn’t know what to say in response.

“Let’s have breakfast, I’m hungry.” She picked up her knife and fork and started cutting into the bacon vigorously.

Ansel, sitting across from her, looked at her scornfully, “You are not acting at all ladylike.”

Jian Yufei was taken aback. What was wrong with her?

“What should a lady act like?” she asked earnestly.

“Ladies should not talk while eating, their silverware shouldn’t make any noise, they should sit properly, not like a boneless jellyfish.”

Jian Yufei was dumbstruck. Where had he learned all these strict rules?

She felt like her manners were already quite good…

“Ansel, your mother has forgotten everything, don’t be so demanding of her,” Qi Ruisen said with a laugh, coming to Jian Yufei’s rescue.

Jian Yufei showed no sign of embarrassment.

She stared at the little guy’s pretty face and asked, “So, tell me, how should a gentleman act during a meal?”

“The way I am now is how a gentleman should be,” Ansel said with all the seriousness of a child.

His small frame was kept straight, left hand holding the fork, right hand with the knife, his movements perfect as he cut the bacon, making no noise against the plate.

Even the pieces of bacon he cut were impeccably neat, without a single jagged edge.

Jian Yufei nodded, “Your actions are indeed quite perfect.”

Ansel’s lips curved slightly upward with a touch of pride.

“However… I believe a gentleman shouldn’t speak while eating either, nor should he criticize others, especially when the other person is a lady,” Jian Yufei said with an elegant smile. Ansel’s little face, however, turned glum.

“You are not a lady!” he retorted, unconvinced.

Jian Yufei nodded with a smile, “That’s right, I am not a lady, and you are not a gentleman. So, when we eat, we might as well be casual.”

Following that, she ate casually, while Ansel’s little face darkened as he stared at her, filled with disdain as if Jian Yufei had brought great shame upon him.

Qi Ruisen, however, was a man very adept at adapting.

He too sat casually and said with a gentle smile, “Ansel, your mother is right. When we eat, it’s fine to be a bit more relaxed; we don’t need to be so strict with the rules. Besides, it’s just our family here, no need for formal etiquette.”

“Daddy…” Ansel pouted, looking at him, “Don’t let her lead you astray!”

Jian Yufei was in the middle of drinking her milk and nearly spat it out upon hearing his words.

Lead astray?!

She wondered who was the ‘bad’ one here!

But Qi Ruisen looked at Jian Yufei and said tenderly, “Your mother is just a very easy-going woman. Ansel, don’t bind her with any rules. As long as she’s happy, that’s all that matters.”
