When the old lady saw Zhou Xing taking his seat, she was initially worried, but she felt relieved after seeing that Zhou Xing was not as crazy as before.
As long as there is no commotion, Zhou Xing will not be able to live in peace with Zhou Mu until Zhou Mu reveals his identity.
By then, it won’t be the Liu family who are in trouble.
The old lady has been troubled recently and her health is not good. But at this moment, seeing two pairs of beautiful women, she suddenly felt that she was okay again.
No matter which prince ascends to the top in the future, the Liu family will always be the winner.
People are in high spirits during happy events, and she smiled with wrinkles on her face, facing the two princes, she had both sides.
Liu Chaoyan was shy and timid throughout the whole process, but she was afraid that Zhou Xing would be attracted by Gu Xiyan, and she did not dare to cause trouble for Gu Xiyan. She played the role of a troublemaker and provided food for Zhou Xing from time to time.
While Zhou Xing was socializing, he occasionally glanced at her. Their eyes were as if they were drawn together, very sticky.
When the old lady saw these details, she was very satisfied with Liu Chaoyan's thoughtfulness and sensibleness.
But the pairing of Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu is different.
Zhou Mu was serving food to Gu Xiyan throughout the whole process. Gu Xiyan just looked at her and Zhou Mu would put the food she wanted into her bowl.
When people who don't know see this scene, they think that Gu Xiyan is the current eldest prince.
The old lady was horrified when she saw it, wishing she could wake up Gu Xiyan with a chopstick and ask her to take the initiative to provide food for Zhou Mu. Of course, she only dared to curse in her heart.
Gu Xiyan had no idea what the old lady was thinking, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Mu providing her with food.
After all, every time she and Zhou Mu had a meal, Zhou Mu would serve her food. She developed this habit until everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
Especially when the old lady looked at her with burning eyes, she looked over with a blank look on her face, wondering why everyone was looking at her like this.
Zhou Xing's eyes also fell on Gu Xiyan, because Zhou Mu's dog-legged appearance was very annoying. A seven-foot tall man actually provided food for a woman. People who didn't know better thought he was Gu Xiyan's attendant.
.
Gu Xiyan didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this, and she enjoyed Zhou Mu's service with peace of mind. This scene looked extremely annoying.
Looking at it horizontally and vertically, it was his Chaoyan who was considerate and served him properly. If he really wanted to marry Gu Xiyan, Gu Xiyan would definitely not serve him like Liu Chaoyan.
Liu Chaoyan was busy serving Zhou Xing and didn't see everyone's strange expressions.
She knew that Zhou Xing liked the steamed mandarin fish, and was about to grab it, but suddenly someone was grabbing the mandarin fish from the opposite side. She looked up and saw Zhou Xing's cold and ascetic face.
I thought Zhou Mu would know how to be polite to women, but Zhou Mu was better and took away all the remaining mandarin fish, carefully picked out the spines, and then put the fish meat into Gu Xiyan's bowl.
This time Zhou Mu's movements were too big and he didn't shy away from it. Everyone saw this scene.
Gu Xiyan, who was busy eating, also saw this scene and looked at Zhou Mu with a half-smile. Zhou Mu didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all: "Eat more if you like it."
Gu Xiyan looked at Liu Chaoyan opposite, and met her angry face.
The corners of her lips raised slightly, not hiding her good mood.
Liu Chaoyan was so angry that her teeth itched. She turned to look at Zhou Xing, who gave her a comforting smile and held her hand under the table.
Liu Chaoyan was originally angry, but because of Zhou Xing's secret comfort, all her anger dissipated, and her heart felt more like a jar of honey, sweet and beautiful.
She secretly thought that Zhou Mu was just a third-rank official with no ambitions and only valued beauty, so he would be humble and petty in front of Gu Xiyan.
Unlike her, the man she married was the current King of Qin, the future prince, and the future emperor of the Jin Dynasty. She felt that all the princes put together had less chance of winning than brother A Xing, and the throne of the Jin Dynasty would undoubtedly be lost.
It fell into the hands of brother A Xing.
At that time, brother A Xing will be the king, Zhou Mu will be the minister, and Gu Xiyan will just be the minister's wife. Wouldn't he still be inferior to her in front of her?
Gu Xiyan can never hope to surpass her in this life.
In this room, Gu Xiyan was kept fed by Zhou Mu and was very full. In the end, she could only look at Zhou Mu begging for mercy: "I'm so full. Young Master can eat by himself."
Zhou Mu looked at her pitiful look, and felt so soft in his heart.
He rubbed the top of her hair and said, "Seeing you eating happily makes me happy too."
The tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed from his eyes.
Marquis Wan Qing saw it clearly, and so did the old lady. From the bottom of their hearts, they felt that this girl Xiyan was capable, and could make a relegated immortal master like Zhou Mu smell like a human being.
Zhou Xing also saw it, without any emotion on his face, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.
He thought that Zhou Mu was just coveting Gu Xiyan's good looks. It was just that there were so many beautiful women in the world, and they were getting engaged just now. Zhou Mu hadn't gotten Gu Xiyan yet, so naturally he felt a little fresh.
If you wait for a long time, facing Gu Xiyan like this for more than ten years, he will definitely feel tired.
It would be good if a man's novelty towards a woman could last for a few years. He was just waiting for the day when Zhou Mu got tired of Gu Xiyan.
By then, Zhou Mu will surely hug him from both sides, and will Gu Xiyan become a resentful woman?
He wanted to see how long Zhou Mu's love for Gu Xiyan could last.
Strangely enough, when he found out that Zhou Mu proposed marriage to Gu Xiyan, he was furious and felt that his belongings had been robbed by Zhou Mu.
Looking back now, he only feels that he was stupid for almost missing his career as an emperor for a woman he abandoned.
Just like when he saw Gu Xiyan today, he just felt strange. He even felt that this woman was different from the woman in his impression.
There was just something he still wanted to ask clearly.
"Xiyan, I heard that you are the one behind the Jixianglou Food Festival. Is this true?" Zhou Xing asked without warning.
Not only was Gu Xiyan stunned, but the eyes of everyone else present were also fixed on Gu Xiyan's face.
Among them, Liu Chaoyan and Liu Junyan's expressions were the most ugly, because they both remembered everything that happened at the Jixianglou Food Festival.
At first, the Liu sisters went to the food festival because they were stimulated by Gu Xiyan. Later, they competed to bid at Jixiang House and even bought the so-called secret palace snacks, all because they were stimulated by Gu Xiyan. Liu Chaoyan clearly remembered that hundreds of boxes of the palace's secret snacks were sold, but Gu Xiyan did not buy a single box.
In fact, there are traces of it, but they didn’t discover the details.
"Is my question so difficult to answer?" Zhou Xing asked after seeing Gu Xiyan not answering.
He originally had some expectations, hoping that Gu Xiyan would not be able to do such a game, but when he saw Gu Xiyan's reaction, his heart sank.
