Tang Nuanhua hastily stood up and caught Li Shao's sleeve to prevent him from walking too far away: "Li Shao, don't do this." Li Shao turned his face away frowning: "What do you think you are doing?" Tang Nuanhua hugged him from behind while muttering: "I am hungry. You're hungry. If you force to me, l will eat."
'Why is this woman making more trouble for me today?' Li Shao rejected her ruthlessly. He was still in pain because of her words from before: "Let me go!" Nuanhua kept hugging him tightly: "I don't want to."
She even shamelessly jumped on his back and wrapped her legs around his waist like a koala. Feeling her heavy body on his, Li Shao smiled slightly before removing her hands from his neck and directly transferring her into his arms. "Tang Nuanhua, what do you want?" His face was getting closer and closer to hers and seeing his delicate facial features and perfect skin made Tang Nuanhua dazed and fascinated. How could a man be so perfect?
She put her hands back around Li Shao's neck: "You restrain me so l can eat properly okay?" Li Shao heard the spoiled tone in her voice and his heart softened. Helpless, he held her in his arms and went downstairs. The servants saw this scene and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They thought that they were either dreaming or they had really died and gone to heaven. 'Is this really the young master and mistress? It can't be that they were seeing ghosts, right?'
Li Wei was very happy looking at the loving couple and quickly stepped up to serve the two. After Li Shao put Nuanhua in a chair, he took a seat himself. He grabbed chopsticks and started feeding Nuanhua religiously.
"Since you haven't eaten since noon, you have to eat more now." Li Shao said this calmly and indifferently but Tang Nuanhua could sense his care of her regardless. Her heart was very moved, so she also got some food from the serving dish and put it directly in his bowl.
"You should also eat."
Li Wei continued watching the couple while feeling excited that his master finally exceeded.
When they finished eating and went upstairs again, Li Wei told the other servants to clear the table while he sneaked away to call the Old Madam. This lady was Li Shao's grandmother and as a condition for Li Wei working for Li Shao, he had to help Old Madam to watch the young master and mistress. Them getting along with each other was good sign that he naturally had to report.
"How is the young couple now?" Old Madam asked this awkwardly because she was not really expecting any changes.
Li Wei replied cheerfully: "Old Madam, the young master and mistress are really warming up to each other. Just now, the young master carried the young mistress down the stairs and even on the table, they were feeding each other."
After Old Madam heard this, she was also in disbelief: "Is this true? Are their interactions truly getting better?"
Translator's note: It is really funny how shocked people are about their budding relations.h.i.+p. I can't say that l did not chuckle every time l saw the word ‘shocked' or ‘disbelief'. What did you all think?
