Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qu Wan’s hand froze in mid-air and her face changed. Then she squeezed out a smile, “Don’t drink if she can’t.”
At that ti, the waiter ca up with a luxurious sashimi platter and placed on the table close to Ling Tianya. Ruan Zeyan imdiately ordered, “Put this further away.”
The waiter was confused and did not follow Ruan Zeyan’s order.
The big boss’ face turned instantly, and his eyes beca colder than the ice on the sashimi platter.
“Don’t you understand?” Ruan Zeyan asked coldly.
The server quickly made the connection and moved the sashimi platter in the direction of Qu Wan.
The big boss’ face only started to relax when that platter was placed far enough from Ling Tianya.
Everyone was puzzled by Ruan Zeyan’s strange behavior. Even Madam Ruan complained, “What is this about? Miss Ling drinks and eats sushi, doesn’t she?”
Without a blank expression, Ruan Zeyan put a rib on Ling Tianya’s plate and filled her bowl with so hot soup. “She can’t touch raw, cold, or spicy foods right now.”
Being all adults in the room, Ruan Zeyan’s words were imdiately understood. Ling Tianya must be on her period and couldn’t eat those things.
Ling Tianya glimpsed at Ruan Zeyan, who looked very serious. Then she lowered her head and start eating the rib. Ruan Zeyan’s neurotic behavior made everyone aware that she was on her period.
Ruan Qishan coughed awkwardly as he raised his glass, “Co on, let’s drink, future in-law!”
Ling Tao watched everything unfold. Even though it was a little embarrassing, he actually was rather happy about his future son-in-law Ruan Zeyan. After being married to Qu Wan for so many years, he never knew when Qu Wan had her period, nor did he care to learn about the dos and don’ts during her period.
From that point alone, he could tell that Ruan Zeyan really cared about his daughter.
Madam Ruan grinned and smiled at the loving couple, and then she looked at Madam Ling in a deliberate provocation. She was trying to say that Miss Ling was really treasured in the Ruan Family!
The eting had refreshed Madam Ling’s perception of Ling Tianya. The girl she rejected as a sack of bad luck had beco the treasure of the Ruan Family.
Such sense of disappointnt hallowed the heart of Madam Ling. What she was feeling more was uneasiness.
Under the embarrassing gaze of all the elders at the table, Ling Tianya buried her head lower and lower.
Ruan Zeyan looked at Ling Tianya, who had her head lowered and was playing with the ribs on her plate. Then he put so deboned fish from his bowl into her bowl.
Another person who had a refreshed perception was Wang Yazhi. She looked at her own son, who had not even taken a bite from the beginning. The person who was always cared for by servers was caring for Ling Tianya, serving her food and soup, even carefully removing the fishbones for her.
Wang Yazhi did not expect her son, who had always been cold and arrogant, to have a tender side.
“About the wedding of the two, if the Ling Family has any requests, feel free to bring them up. We will make sure to fulfil them with double efforts.” Ruan Qishan finally ntioned the key topic of the eting.
Ruan Qishan asked Ling Tao to make his requests. Ling Tao paused for a long ti before he said, “As long as the two are happy, I have no special requests. My only request is that you please treat my daughter well.”
Ling Tao’s voice was shaking when he said that. He still wanted to say it because it was sothing a father must express to the man’s parents.
He was pondering about how difficult it was to actually be in-laws with the Ruans. If he made too many requests, people could see him as being greedy and trying to take advantage of the Ruan Family. If he didn’t make any request, he was afraid her own daughter would suffer.
At that mont, Madam Ling, who had kept quiet all that ti, opened her havoc mouth again. “Everything else is fine, but we do care about dowry money. Back in the day, even the failing Li Family was able to offer a ten-million dollar a dowry when they were trying to marry our Tianya.”
The words of Mdm Ling made the whole room fall back into a dead silence...
