Chapter 975: 143 Little Lord_5

Zhao Hongyan laughed and said, "It’s like this, seeing how you walk in here as if it were your own home, I was wondering if you are the sister of the owner of this establishment? I heard that Boss Lin has two younger sisters."

He had even inquired about the older sister having two younger sisters; it seemed he came well prepared!

Xiao Linshuang’s eyes darted around and caught sight of her master on the second floor frantically waving her hands in dissent. She quietly pursed her lips, walked over to Shopkeeper Liu, and grabbed his hand, "The shopkeeper is my grandfather, do you think I can come in?"

Grandfather?

Shopkeeper Liu’s body stiffened; where would he get such luck to be Xiao Linshuang’s grandfather! But if he really could have such a wonderful granddaughter, he’d have been immensely blessed.

As he was thinking this, Xiao Linshuang sweetly pulled on his sleeve and said with an endearing smile, "Grandfather, I just got back from school and I’m so hungry, do we have any tasty food?"

Shopkeeper Liu grinned broadly and replied, "Of course, of course, grandpa will take you to the kitchen and have the chef make whatever you’d like to eat."

In the past, Xiao Linshuang had always followed Lin Yuan in calling him Shopkeeper Liu, but suddenly being called grandfather was still something he had to get used to.

Zhao Hongyan, realizing she was not one of Boss Lin’s sisters that he was searching for, instantly lost the hopeful light in his eyes. However, upon hearing about the food, his stomach couldn’t have growled more timely.

By now, even Eunuch Chang couldn’t stop him from sitting down to eat.

It was already afternoon, and even if he were not to eat, it was not possible for him to stand up and return to the capital city right away. Eunuch Chang gestured outside, and a guard silently broke away and left.

Due to Zhao Hongyan’s special status, Shopkeeper Liu had his apprentice hang up a "Closed for Business" sign at the entrance, an occurrence that had never happened since Fuman Building opened. Naturally, it drew a lot of attention, but with the guards at the door, no one dared to enter.

The chefs of Fuman Building moved quickly, immediately bringing a variety of signature dishes to Zhao Hongyan, causing his eyes to light up with delight.

Eunuch Chang was just like Lao Fan, also a big foodie, but when their master was eating, what share could his servants claim? Even though his mouth watered so much, it was almost dripping on the floor, he had to pretend not to see, closing his eyes and chanting silently, "I am not hungry, I am not hungry."

Lao Fan, who was hiding on the second floor, suffered just as much.

Eunuch Chang, whether deliberately or inadvertently, made sure Zhao Hongyan did not eat in the elegant room.

Xiao Linshuang too, perhaps just by coincidence, joined the others eating in the main hall and happened to sit at a spot visible to Lao Fan. As she voraciously enjoyed the food, she teasingly made faces at him, leaving Lao Fan both gulping saliva and glaring furiously.

Meanwhile, at the next table, Zhao Hongyan was sitting upright, waiting for Xiao Hanzi to serve him food. Although the dishes he was given were delicious, by the time Xiao Hanzi handed them to him, they somehow lost their flavor.

Xiao Linshuang, holding a chicken leg and eating heartily, turned her head and saw Zhao Hongyan sitting stiffly, eating politely. She frowned, holding up her chicken leg, and took a seat next to Zhao Hongyan.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xiao Hanzi hurriedly tried shooing her away.

But Xiao Linshuang was not someone who could be so easily sent away. If she wasn’t willing, then even ten oxen couldn’t drag her away.

She glared at Xiao Hanzi and firmly stayed seated.

Zhao Hongyan smiled and sent Xiao Hanzi away. But upon seeing Xiao Linshuang’s unrefined way of eating, he frowned and said, "For a young lady, how can you eat like this; it’s really..."

"What, you find my eating unpleasant to look at?" Xiao Linshuang shot him a sideways glance and snorted, "I think it’s actually you who’s not eating enjoyably. It’s delicious to eat whatever one wants, unlike you, who needs a servant to serve you! What, you don’t have hands, or can’t you use chopsticks? Hey, don’t tell me you really don’t know how to use chopsticks?"

Zhao Hongyan felt embarrassed as he looked at Xiao Linshuang’s serious demeanor; did he seem like someone who couldn’t use chopsticks?

Eunuch Chang narrowed his eyes, about to scold her, but then he heard Zhao Hongyan huff, "Of course, I can use chopsticks!"

With that, he grabbed the chopsticks and started eating himself, despite Xiao Hanzi repeatedly saying "This is against the rules," but after receiving a look from Zhao Hongyan, he dared not speak another word.

Xiao Linshuang chuckled, tore off a chunk of chicken breast and, holding it out, said, "It’s only distinguished nobility like you who eats so elegantly. Look, dare you try this?"

Zhao Hongyan was enticed by Xiao Linshuang’s manner of eating, indeed he had never eaten like that since he could remember.

Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Linshuang stuffed the chicken breast into his hand, "Be elegant when it’s time to be elegant, relax when it’s time to relax. There’s no one else here, who are you being elegant for? Do whatever feels good!"

Zhao Hongyan’s eyes brightened, he had turned two years older for nothing if he couldn’t even get over this small matter.

"Alright!" Zhao Hongyan bit fiercely into the chicken, nodding internally, "This is indeed the most enjoyable way to eat!"

Watching the two of them eating heartily, Lao Fan swallowed hard, his legs went weak, and he sat on the ground, mournfully smacking his lips.
