The atmosphere seemed to become tense again.

The cooking aunt was afraid that Shangguan Xiao would be angry, so she quickly pointed to one of the dishes and said, "This, this shrimp was made by Miss Jiang."

He secretly tugged on Jiang Ning's clothes to signal her not to be so complacent.

Jiang Ning pursed her lips, lowered her gaze, the emotions in her eyes changed, and finally raised her head and said, "Aunt Wang is right, I made this shrimp, you can try it."

She picked up the chopsticks and handed them over as a sign of submission.

Shangguan Xiao was actually a little surprised that she would take the initiative to show weakness.

After giving her a deep look, he took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of shrimp, "Did you make it?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, I did it."

Shangguan Xiao smiled half-heartedly, "Then tell me, how do you make a steamed shrimp dish?"

Jiang Ning: "..."

The cooking aunt burst out laughing.

Jiang Ning glared over: "What's so funny?"

The cooking aunt quickly suppressed her laughter and explained: "Well, although steaming shrimp does not require any skills, these shrimps are all processed by Miss Jiang, and she selects the shrimp threads one by one, which is also very labor-intensive.

.”

Shangguan Xiao sighed: "Yes, it's really not easy."

Jiang Ning: "..."

She was not a fool, so how could she not tell whether he was laughing at her or praising her.

Forget it, endure the calm for a while.

She doesn't care about him.

Not only did she not argue with him, but she even showed her kindness and pushed the vinegar in front of him, "Steamed shrimps will taste better if they are dipped in vinegar."

Shangguan Xiao glanced at her but said nothing.

Jiang Ning used her chopsticks again and diligently picked up a few more dishes for him, "These are Aunt Wang's new dishes. You can try them too. If they taste good, Aunt Wang can make more."

Shangguan Xiao raised his eyebrows.

This was the first time this woman showed kindness to him.

He did not pick on her and silently accepted her attentiveness.

It wasn't until she was almost done eating that Shangguan Xiao stopped her from being attentive and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't do this."

Jiang Ning didn't expose her until he saw it, he just wanted her to serve her.

Now that he took the initiative to talk about it, she stopped hiding it and said directly: "I want to visit my family these days..."

"no."

Before she finished speaking, Shangguan Xiao interrupted her directly.

As if she had expected him to refuse, Jiang Ning didn't even change her expression, "I haven't seen them for three months. I've listened to you enough. I didn't even call them. I'm trapped in this golden place by you."

In a silk cage, I can't go anywhere, I'm obedient enough, I'm a slave enough, why can't you let me see my family?"

Shangguan Xiao threw the napkin in his hand on the table and looked up at her: "If you were obedient, you should have thought about meeting them without my permission. You know that if I anger you, you will not end well."

The hands placed under the table were clenched tightly into fists, and the sharp nails wanted to pierce into the flesh of the palms of the hands.

A long time, a long time.

Jiang Ning spoke again, her voice tight: "Okay, I'm not going to meet them, then can I meet Neng Yunyan?"

Shangguan Xiao was stunned: "Who?"

"Yunyan, I can chat with the person who came as a guest that day, and I don't have many friends. Staying here every day is like being in jail. If I don't find a friend, sooner or later, I will become a psychopath."

Jiang Ning softened and was completely convinced, "Can I meet her? Can I invite her to my house as a guest?"

Shangguan Xiao frowned.
