Chapter 540: Chapter 540: What if I Can’t Finish Eating?
After much deliberation without choosing anything, she simply closed the nu and spoke according to her usual taste preference.
"Sister... I want sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, four-happiness atballs, squirrel fish, spicy hot pot, and oil-braised prawns..." Counting on her fingers, thinking of what else hadn’t been ntioned.
His adorable, clueless look lted her heart, and it took her a while to react, hastily jotting down notes in her notebook.
Seeing the little guy still eager to continue ordering, Ye Xinluo hurriedly stopped him, "Jingxi, can we finish all this food?"
Hearing this, he paused his gesture to speak and thought for a mont... It did seem like quite a lot of dishes.
So, he smiled at the waiter and said, "That’s all, thank you, sister."
"No trouble at all!"
Soon, the dishes were served one by one. Looking at the table filled to the brim, Jingxi’s mouth twitched, and he turned to smile sheepishly at Ye Xinluo, "Mommy, what if we can’t finish it all?"
Just now, he was so focused on ordering that he didn’t realize there would be so much once it was served.
Hearing this, Ye Xinluo chuckled and said, "Go for it!"
Jingxi: "..."
He turned to look at his dad, "Go for it!"
...
Swallowing back the words he was about to utter, he resignedly picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
Throughout the al, Beichen Rui didn’t eat much, busy peeling shrimp for them one mont, and picking out fish bones for the little one the next. By the end of the al, a pile of shrimp shells and fish bones had accumulated in front of him...
After finishing eating, the little guy rubbed his round belly and clamored to go for a walk. So, Beichen Rui and Ye Xinluo each held one of his hands and leisurely strolled along the road.
They returned ho at eight-thirty.
After coaxing the little one to sleep, she ca out of his room, ready to retire to her own room to rest.
Passing by the study, she noticed the door was not tightly closed, with lights casting out from inside. She cautiously peeked in from the doorway.
She saw Beichen Rui sitting there, holding a sketchbook, drawing sothing unknown.
Wanting to get closer for a look, she accidentally pushed the door open, nearly falling to the ground. Fortunately, she grabbed the door fra just in ti to avoid a mishap.
Hearing the commotion, Beichen Rui glanced up, nonchalantly placing the sketchbook into the drawer and calmly asked, "Do you need sothing?"
Ye Xinluo stood there a bit embarrassed, tugging at her lips to form a forced smile, "Why aren’t you resting yet?"
He glanced at her, noting her guilty expression, resembling soone caught doing sothing wrong. He pursed his lips, "Just handling a few matters. Why aren’t you asleep?"
Hearing his words, Ye Xinluo felt a pang of guilt inside. Could she admit she had just been spying?
She raised her head and glanced at the desk, which besides a few docunts, was now empty.
Feeling puzzled... Didn’t she just see a sketchbook? Where had it gone?
Noticing her questioning gaze, Beichen Rui spoke unchanged, "It’s late, rest soon!"
"Alright then, you should sleep early too, goodnight." After saying this, she made one last attempt to glimpse sothing out of the ordinary on his desk.
She stared for quite a while but found nothing unusual, reluctantly turning around and leaving the study.
Once the study door was tightly shut, he opened the drawer again, taking out the sketchbook. On the first page of the paper...
A necklace’s outline was beginning to take shape...
