Fu Xuan's sudden table slap made Selene tremble, but Selene quickly reacted, looking at Fu Xuan with a puzzled expression, as if asking: Grand Diviner, why did you suddenly slap the table?
"Get out! Don't you know you're supposed to knock before entering?!"
Fu Xuan pointed outside the door, saying fiercely.
"Ah? Oh...!"
Selene looked a bit stunned, but quickly lowered her head and walked out like a wronged young wife, closing the door behind her.
Seeing Selene leave, Fu Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief!
"Darn it! I wonder if she saw This Meow's appearance just now! If she did, she'd probably say This Meow is cute again?!"
As Fu Xuan was thinking, a knock came from outside the door.
Fu Xuan quickly composed herself, put the mirror back in the drawer, then straightened her face, and said stiffly, "Come in!"
Selene pushed the door open and stood at the entrance, looking at Fu Xuan.
"What do you want from This Meow? If it's about food, forget it! It's already past mealtime!"
Fu Xuan looked at Selene, saying irritably.
"I... I've already eaten."
Selene said softly.
Fu Xuan: ...The atmosphere suddenly became strange. Fu Xuan didn't speak, and Selene didn't speak. The two just stared at each other.
Finally, Fu Xuan couldn't stand it anymore and broke the stalemate.
"Don't you have anything to say to This Meow?!"
Fu Xuan's tone when she said this was still a bit angry, and Selene naturally heard it.
"I'm sorry..."
Selene said, looking wronged.
Fu Xuan: ???
"What?! This Meow waited here for you for nearly two hours! And you're acting wronged?!"
Looking at Selene's wronged expression, Fu Xuan was momentarily flustered, but what she said was completely different from what she thought inside.
"I'm sorry... it wasn't on purpose, it won't happen again..."
As Selene spoke, her voice took on a hint of a sob, and she tried her best to squeeze out two glistening tears from the corners of her eyes.
Fu Xuan: ?!
"What?! Don't cry! This Meow didn't scold you! Nor did This Meow yell at you! Why are you crying?!"
Seeing Selene shed tears, Fu Xuan's heart immediately softened, and her tone changed from fierce to gentle.
She quickly walked forward, hugged Selene, and gently stroked her head, comforting her.
Selene: Plan successful!
Fu Xuan: ? What plan successful?
Suddenly, Fu Xuan's hand, which was stroking Selene's head, instantly stopped.
She released Selene from her embrace, and her previously somewhat flustered expression returned to calm.
"So, what exactly were you doing?"
Fu Xuan asked in a calm tone.
Selene was stunned. She didn't know why Fu Xuan's expression changed so quickly, but regarding Fu Xuan's question, Selene still chose to answer honestly!
"Qing Que invited me to eat, I refused, but the refusal failed, so..."
Selene said, lowering her head.
"Alright, This Meow understands. This Meow will forgive you this time, but there can be no next time!"
Fu Xuan looked into Selene's eyes, her tone betraying no emotion.
Selene nodded repeatedly, promising that there wouldn't be a next time!
"Alright, you can still have a nap now, go get some sleep."
Fu Xuan waved her hand, and at the same time, she sighed helplessly in her heart.
She had originally intended to give Selene a good talking to, but when she saw her shed tears, her heart still softened.
But she didn't expect that even the tears were faked... just like that Qing Que! How annoying!
"Um, Fu Xuan Sister, have you eaten?"
Selene asked tentatively.
Hearing this question, Fu Xuan immediately glared fiercely at Selene!
"What do you think?! This Meow has been waiting here for you the whole time! Unlike a certain heartless This Meow! Who abandoned This Meow to eat with other women!"
Fu Xuan said sarcastically.
Selene: ...Oh no! She's jealous!
"Hehe! Fu Xuan Sister, don't be angry! This Meow brought you steamed buns and immortal delight tea! Quickly fill your stomach!"
Selene said, stepping outside the door, then carrying in a bag of steamed buns she had bought earlier.
Looking at the stuffed bag, Fu Xuan's eyes instantly widened! She looked incredulous!
"Don't tell This Meow that this entire bag is full of steamed buns!"
Fu Xuan said, pointing at the bag of steamed buns.
"You guessed it!"
Selene said with an awkward smile.
"Are you treating This Meow like a pig? How could This Meow eat so much?"
Fu Xuan crossed her arms, saying irritably.
"You can leave what you can't finish! Grand Diviner, please try some first!"
Selene said, taking out an insulated container from the bag and placing it in front of Fu Xuan.
"Don't call This Meow Grand Diviner, call This Meow Sister."
Selene: ...This address, why does it feel inexplicably embarrassing?
"If you don't call This Meow that, This Meow won't eat!"
Fu Xuan turned her head to one side, looking like she was leaving it up to Selene.
[How is this like coaxing a child? Forget it! Seeing as This Meow made you worry for so long! This Meow will call you that!]
Selene thought this in her heart, then prepared to utter the address that made her feel inexplicably embarrassed.
"Have a bite! Sis... Sister."
Selene said, taking a steamed bun from the insulated container and bringing it to Fu Xuan's mouth.
A slight smile appeared on Fu Xuan's lips. She didn't take the steamed bun with her hand but bit directly into it.
Selene was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected that she was actually feeding Fu Xuan a steamed bun!
However, Fu Xuan Wife is so cute even when she's eating!
Fu Xuan: Is everything This Meow does cute in your eyes?
"Mmm! Fu Xuan Sister! The filling is spilling out!"
Selene said, moving the steamed bun closer to Fu Xuan's mouth, urging her to eat it quickly!
Fu Xuan also obediently took a bite and ate the remaining half of the steamed bun!
After all, these were just small steamed buns, eating them in two bites wasn't difficult!
"It's actually brown sugar filling? The taste is quite good."
Fu Xuan said with some surprise after swallowing the steamed bun.
Fu Xuan had eaten brown sugar-filled steamed buns before, but not small brown sugar-filled steamed buns.
[Sigh! As long as you have money! Most problems can be solved!]
Selene sighed in her heart... There were five types of fillings for the steamed buns: brown sugar, char siu, custard, corn and meat, and red bean paste.
All five fillings met Selene's requirements at the time! Which was to be sweet!
It could be said that the Foxian proprietress was truly thoughtful, fearing that Selene would find it monotonous, she specifically made five different fillings!
The only pity was that the quantity was truly too much, she couldn't finish it! Absolutely couldn't finish it!
"Hmm? Fu Xuan Sister, is this custard bun delicious?"
Selene looked at the half-eaten custard bun in her hand, swallowed her saliva, and asked...
