Chapter 413: 413: Easier to chew with the holes

Jing Qian was stunned as she watched Zhan Lichuan stab the apple with his knife in such a manner. She blinked her eyes in confusion and asked, “Why are you stabbing the apple like that?”

Zhan Lichuan finally came back to his senses when he heard Jing Qian asking him the question.

He looked down at the apple he’d destroyed and said, “It’ll be easier to eat this way.”

“???”

Jing Qian looked at the knife that was fully soaked by the apple juice. She couldn’t help but feel that it definitely wouldn’t have been easier to eat the apple in this manner.

“I’ll get you another one.”

With that said, Zhan Lichuan picked off the apple from the tip of the knife and placed it on the plate. Then, he got a wet tissue, cleaned Master Zhan’s hands, and gave him the apple.

“Grandfather, have some apples.”

Master Zhan was present the entire time when it happened, which was why he took the apple without saying much. With a loud crunch, he bit onto the apple that had a crater in it.

Well…. there were some parts that weren’t that badly destroyed.

Master Zhan looked up and saw Jing Qian who looked a bit confused. He laughed and said, “This is how we eat apples in the Zhan family. With the holes, it’ll be easier to bite, and it prevents us from hurting our gums since the apples may be too crunchy.”

Then, Jing Qian nodded her head.

She understood that explanation. After all, why would anyone simply create holes in an apple?

Zhan Lichuan remained quiet the entire time.

Soon, Zhan Lichuan finished peeling the second apple.

The second apple looked fresh and crunchy as well. He cut them into smaller pieces, and placed them on a plate before pa.s.sing them to Jing Qian with a smile on his face.

Jing Qian, who never liked apples, discovered that it was an amazing apple as it was juicy and fragrant after taking the first bite.

“This apple tastes really good.”

“It’s great that you like them.”

After taking a few pieces, Jing Qian discovered something interesting.

The apples might look different in shape and size, but their weight was the same.

She was extremely sensitive to the weight of an object, so she could feel it after a few pieces.

If it were only two or three pieces, it wouldn’t be peculiar, but all of the pieces that she placed in her mouth were of the same weight, which was impressive.

But when she remembered that Zhan Lichuan was a math genius, it made sense that he was an expert in this field.

“Oh, right. You promised me that you would give me a robot.”

An interesting look appeared in Zhan Lichuan’s eyes as he answered, “Yes. I’ll let you know as soon as I’m done.”

After hearing his answer, Jing Qian instantly showed a beautiful smile.

As she thought of the robot who would be able to talk to her, help her with the housework, and have a table and shelf where she could store things, Jing Qian felt excited.

Zhan Lichuan saw how Jing Qian was excited about the robot, and a dull look appeared in his eyes.

Then, an interesting idea surfaced in his mind.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Zhe Yan pushed the door open and looked at Jing Qian. “Young Master, Young Mistress’s parents are waiting outside, hoping to visit the Master.”

Jing Qian frowned and said, “No.”

“Alright.”

Seeing how Zhe Yan was about to leave, Zhan Lichuan said, “Wait.”

Then, he told Jing Qian, “Even if they didn’t fulfill their duties as responsible parents, they are still your parents. If you’re too mean to them, those haters online would start targeting you, and it could get so bad that you wouldn’t even be able to leave your house.”

Jing Qian sneered with a rebellious look on her face.

“Would I be afraid of them?”

She had the DNA report with her, but it was now with Kuan Yuchen. With that, she could slap the couple out there at any time she wanted.

She had been busy thinking about Zhan Lichuan’s surgery and getting Kuan Yuchen to help her purchase the herbs from the Secret Web, and had already forgotten about the Jing family in its entirety.

Zhan Lichuan looked at her, and he couldn’t help but show a coquettish smile.

“It’s alright, I’m here. I’ll get rid of them.”
