During dinner, Zhixi realized Pei Yuanchen was absent. Upon inquiry, she learned he had already found an excuse to leave.
...It seems like he fled in defeat.
Zhixi couldn't help but secretly laugh to herself. She had known Pei Yuanchen for so long and was often left speechless by his quips, but now discovering that even he had a rival made her mood so good that she ate an extra bowl.
However, just as she was about to scoop a third bowl, He Jingyao stopped her.
"You're not allowed to eat anymore," his tone was cold.
Liu Minjun was unhappy: "Zhixi is pregnant, why aren't you letting her eat?"
"She's already too fat, and still eating," He Jingyao snorted coldly.
Zhixi silently put down her chopsticks: "Uncle, Aunt, I'm finished eating."
He Yirong smiled and nodded, while Liu Minjun glared fiercely at He Jingyao.
Someone directly ignored this.
