Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 612: Chapter 592: Chang Xi’s Wedding (Part 4)

”Qianqian, go and rest for a while, the elder’s stuff is already over, and next it’s all about drinking,” Chang Xi said, turning his head towards Luo Qianqian.

Ye Liang also nodded seriously, ”It’s not good for kids to wear high heels for such a long time.”

Luo Qianqian made a cheeky face at Xi Ming and Wei Ming, happily leaving without minding their reproachful gazes.

”Why though?” Wei Ming said dissatisfiedly, ”Being young isn’t an excuse, sis, I am your biological brother after all.”

”You dare to let her drink on your behalf?” Chang Xi snorted, ”If you’re capable, why don’t you bring a fiancée too? They brought their fiancé here.”

The table for Luo Yanran and Qin Nuan was originally a spare one, and besides the two of them, there was no one else. Luo Qianqian, stunned for a moment, looked towards Jimo Cheng who had been watching her, smiled as she walked over, said something to him, then took her things and sat next to Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran.

Luo Yanran watched Luo Qianqian eat little by little, with a very straight posture, dividing a meatball into three bites, and even sipping her soup without making a sound, slightly furrowed his brows, but still said nothing.

”You should eat too,” Luo Qianqian said, feeling a bit embarrassed as she looked at the pile of nicely peeled crab and shrimp meat in front of her, and wiped her mouth before speaking.

Qin Nuan glared at Luo Yanran without saying a word, but her eyes made her thoughts quite clear.

”Alright, little master, just watch,” Luo Yanran immediately understood Qin Nuan’s intention, started peeling the crab very obsequiously, but the next second: ”Ouch...” He then watched as a bright Blood Bead slowly welled up on his thumb.

Luo Qianqian tried hard to control her laughter but looked towards Jimo Cheng’s fingers which were white and smooth, showing no sign of injury.

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s gaze, Jimo Cheng generously stretched out his hand, cleaned it, and then offered it to Luo Qianqian, ”Don’t worry, I have my tricks.”

Upon hearing the word ”tricks,” Luo Yanran forgot about his injured finger, letting Qin Nuan wipe the Blood Bead with a tissue, his face full of curiosity.

Who knew Jimo Cheng would just curl his lips and say, ”Practice makes perfect.”

Luo Yanran’s mouth twitched, ”Isn’t that stating the obvious?”

But Luo Qianqian blinked her eyes and asked, ”So, you like eating crabs?” But she hadn’t mentioned that when she had asked him what he liked before...

Jimo Cheng shook his head, ”Grandpa likes them.”

The chopsticks in Luo Qianqian’s hand quivered as she picked up the crab meat. So, was she getting the same treatment as Jimo Kong now???

”So I eat them quite often,” Jimo Cheng said nonchalantly, adding another sentence.

Luo Qianqian was speechless, wishing he wouldn’t say such things with great emphasis. However, she still maintained her composure; anything that required spitting out bones, had thorns, could get stuck in her teeth, or stick to them, she simply wouldn’t eat.

Qin Nuan saw Luo Qianqian only eating what was ready in the bowl and some vegetables and frowned slightly.

It wasn’t until Jimo Cheng had peeled the crab and went to the restroom to wash his hands that Luo Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, stretched, and her rigid back curved. She quickly ate a piece of rib, spit out the bone, then rapidly ate a chicken wing and spit out the bone, wiped her mouth, and piled the bones in front of Luo Yanran before straightening up and continuing to eat the food in front of her gracefully.

This series of actions left Luo Yanran and Qin Nuan utterly astonished. They were about to speak when they saw Jimo Cheng return, so they stopped what they were about to say.

After Luo Qianqian finished everything in her bowl, she wiped her mouth, took a sip of water, and said softly, ”I’m full.”

Qin Nuan’s mouth twitched as she stared at the half-finished bowl of fried rice in front of her, unsure whether to continue eating.

Luo Yanran pressed his forehead and looked down. As a brother, he didn’t want to embarrass his sister, especially in front of these few pieces of bone which rendered him speechless. Even when dining with actresses known for their ladylike demeanor, he had never seen anyone take it to this extent, right?

Jimo Cheng just smiled and nodded, then took out some xylitol from his bag, tossed two pieces into his mouth, and then looked at Luo Qianqian, ”Need some?”

”Mm-hmm,” Luo Qianqian nodded and reached out to take them. Looking at the two pieces of xylitol in her hand, she didn’t hesitate to pop them into her mouth.

Then, she watched as Jimo Cheng pushed the xylitol towards Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran. ”Peach flavored.”

Luo Qianqian blinked. Wasn’t that her recent favorite flavor?

”Qianqian, Nuannuan, come over for the photo.” Since the relatives in the hall had mostly left, Xi Ming dropped the formalities and waved at the two of them.

Luo Qianqian got up, straightened her dress, then smiled and said to Luo Yanran and Jimo Cheng, ”Want to join us?”

”I’d rather not join the hustle,” said Luo Yanran, lowering the hat that was on his head. After all, he was a public figure, and the Wei Family’s daughter’s grand wedding was newsworthy too.

Jimo Cheng simply waved his hand and then waved the camera he was holding, ”No, thanks.”

Qin Nuan and Luo Qianqian then walked hand in hand towards the spot, and only after they had moved away from Jimo Cheng did Luo Qianqian breathe a sigh of relief.

Qin Nuan looked at her with disdain, ”Could you be any more fake? Since when did you become such a ladylike person?

Luo Qianqian didn’t feel the need to pretend in front of Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran, pouting, ”You don’t know the pressure Mo Studio puts on me. I barely dare to breathe, let alone act like a lady. If they told me to pretend to be mute, I’d have to do that too.”

”Isn’t that tiring?” Qin Nuan sighed, ”This person is pretty good to you, isn’t he? Is all that really necessary?”

”If I could, I’d put him on a pedestal,” sighed Luo Qianqian, looking at Xi Ming who had left a spot for them. She smiled faintly and quickly pulled Qin Nuan to stand in the right position.

’Click, click’, the sound of the shutter going off, ’click, click’, memories solidifying into photographs.

Looking at Jimo Cheng below the stage, with his arms crossed and head slightly tilted watching her, Luo Qianqian curved her lips. Compared to Luo Yanran who was hiding like a fugitive under his hat and mask, Jimo Cheng’s casual appearance was just too good.

”Like jade is the man of the road, unmatched in this world,” Luo Qianqian murmured softly.

Qin Nuan didn’t hear clearly and just hummed in response.

Luo Qianqian shook her head, ”Nothing, just felt like, some people you can tell at one glance that they’re from a different world than us.”

”A natural aura of immortality? Or he comes with a halo? Does he glow?” Wei Ming was lost, he hadn’t noticed.

”Thinking of the gentleman, warm like jade. In his simple house, you disturb my heart’s melody,” Xi Ming followed Luo Qianqian’s gaze and settled on Jimo Cheng, ”Is that right?”

Luo Qianqian giggled foolishly for a while, then pretended as if she knew nothing and dutifully took the photos.

That evening, Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan still didn’t make it to the bridal chamber because Chang Xi had decreed that the kids needed to go home to sleep...
