It was Jiang Chenyue who noticed the unusual tension between the two and stepped in to smooth things over, "Xi is too headstrong, just like her brother. The two siblings bicker from ti to ti, and I don’t even bother to comnt on it. Alright, since it’s an unresolved issue, we don’t need to waste ti on it."
"It’s almost seven o’clock already, hasn’t Qin Jun finished yet?"
She craned her neck but couldn’t see the situation in the kitchen, gently patting Rong Yan’s hand, she invited, "Yan, would you like to go have a look with ?"
"Sure."
Jiang Chenyue led her to the kitchen, inadvertently leaving Chu Xi as the odd one out.
The servants in Chu Garden were busy in the living room preparing for the dinner, people occasionally passed by, making Chu Xi feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
She wanted to follow them, yet felt it would be beneath her to force her way in.
Not following them, seeing Jiang Chenyue and Rong Yan getting along harmoniously felt like a slap to her face.
...
Qin Jun’s culinary skills were even better than Jiang Chenyue had described.
Each person had a serving of a vividly colorful steak, cooked to dium, drizzled with delicious fillet sauce, with a careful garnish of a few broccoli florets along the edge of the plate.
Besides the steak, there were also creamy baked snails, red wine foie gras, and vegetable salad on the table.
The man in the blue checkered apron brought over the final steaming dish of tomato beef brisket, completing the al.
He placed the tomato beef brisket specially in front of Rong Yan, smiled, "Eat more of this, it’s good for warming the stomach. I looked it up, it’s suitable for girls like you."
Rong Yan, taken aback by the attention, looked up and said, "Thank you."
Qin Jun’s lips curled up, his refined almond eyes were deep and charming, clearly in a good mood, "Try the taste, see if you like it."
Rong Yan picked up the knife and fork, cutting a small piece of steak.
Chu Xi, with a sullen face, couldn’t help but softly say at this mont, "Brother, did you forget to bring out my steak?"
Everyone had a fillet steak in front of them, except for her, with an empty plate. It was too embarrassing.
Jiang Chenyue, preoccupied with Rong Yan, hadn’t noticed she was without steak until she spoke up, then addressed Qin Jun, "Where’s Xi’s steak, still in the kitchen? I’ll have soone bring it out."
She motioned for a servant and was about to instruct them to get it.
Qin Jun casually leaned back in his chair, casually gripping his knife and fork, and elegantly spoke, "I didn’t make her portion."
Chu Xi’s expression slightly changed, already guessing sothing, she bit her lip in humiliation.
Even Jiang Chenyue, who usually supported him, couldn’t help scowling, "What are you saying, everyone’s portion was made, how could you not make Xi’s?"
Qin Jun continued cutting his steak nonchalantly, "I had no intention of preparing her portion from the beginning."
"Qin Jun..."
With Rong Yan present, Jiang Chenyue restrained herself from losing her temper at him, but Chu Xi had already reached out to touch her arm, magnanimously advising, "Mom, forget it, don’t hold it against brother. He didn’t know I would be back for dinner, he didn’t deliberately not prepare mine."
"He clearly saw you at ho when he ca back this afternoon! Even if he started preparing then, it would still be in ti!"
"Mom, don’t get angry. It’s okay. I’ll just eat sothing else, it’s no big deal."
Qin Jun put down his knife and fork at this point, inheriting the Chu Family’s well-defined features, slightly raising his chin always gave a strong sense of oppression, he sternly and indifferently said, "When I ca back this afternoon, I made it clear to her I hadn’t prepared anything for her, she insisted on staying.
