On top of the dishes, a delicate heart shape had been drawn.
Qian Renxue understood the meaning of the heart clearly.
In that instant, her heartbeat quickened slightly.
She did not look at Jiang Chen, but glanced at Xiao Ying instead, then picked up her chopsticks and began tasting the food as if nothing had happened.
Qian Renxue's posture was extremely elegant. Her red, tender little mouth chewed gently, and a ray of incredible light suddenly flashed in her almond-shaped eyes.
Having lived in the palace for these past few years, she had tasted countless delicacies. Her mouth had been spoiled by those imperial chefs, becoming more and more picky.
She had originally planned to take a casual taste and then insincerely praise Jiang Chen.
But she discovered that this dish was actually so delicious.
This kind of deliciousness was so unique, as if it were top-tier cuisine from another world.
"Miss, does it taste good?" Xiao Ying looked at Qian Renxue expectantly.
Qian Renxue tasted a few more bites and commented, "It's delicious, not inferior to the palace's."
She saw the longing look in Xiao Ying's eyes and smiled, "Come over and eat together."
"She has already... eaten..." Jiang Chen's voice grew smaller and smaller because Xiao Ying had already excitedly stood up.
Qian Renxue brought out the dishes from inside one by one.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the red heart on the topmost plate had already been destroyed by her with a few chopstick strokes.
"You eat so much, yet I don't see you gaining any weight." Jiang Chen grumbled discontentedly, causing Xiao Ying to put her hands on her hips and glare at him furiously.
There was also an extra pair of chopsticks prepared in the lunchbox, which he had originally intended to use for a romantic dinner with Qian Renxue. Unexpectedly, it had benefited this glutton instead.
Helpless, he could only sit elsewhere and give the seat to Xiao Ying.
"Mmm... not bad."
"So fragrant."
"So tasty."
Qian Renxue's surprised voices kept ringing out, causing the displeasure in Jiang Chen's heart to dissipate. The corners of his mouth could not help but curve up slightly.
However, he could not figure out Qian Renxue's true attitude. When she had seen the heart just now, there had been no change in expression on her face at all.
Women were indeed creatures born to love eating. Two pairs of tender pink mouths quickly wiped out all the food on the plates.
Qian Renxue let out a satisfied burp. She had just eaten not long ago, and now she had eaten a lot more, so her stomach felt a bit full.
Xiao Ying dutifully packed up the tableware and handed it to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen took it and put it into his soul tool.
"Little Chen, I didn't expect you to have such astonishing cooking skills. Make more for big sister in the future." Qian Renxue's eyes flowed with charm as she looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.
The imperial chefs' skills were not bad, but after so many years, although they changed the varieties, Qian Renxue had almost grown tired of them.
Tasting the food that Jiang Chen had carefully prepared at this moment gave her a refreshing feeling, as if reaching another peak.
"Big sister, as long as you are willing, I can cook for you for a lifetime." Jiang Chen gazed at Qian Renxue with burning eyes.
Qian Renxue quickly turned her head away, shocked in her heart.
"How could he be so bold, with Xiao Ying still here."
Jiang Chen proudly glanced at Xiao Ying, thinking that even the lightbulb could not stop him.
But he discovered that Xiao Ying's face was so angry it was almost twisted into a ball.
It looked like she could explode at any moment.
Jiang Chen quickly coughed lightly twice and said seriously, "Little Ying sister, didn't Bishop Salas give you a letter today to pass to Xue'er?"
Upon hearing the address "Xue'er," Qian Renxue could not help but turn her head and glare at Jiang Chen.
This younger brother was really getting more and more presumptuous.
Jiang Chen knew when to stop and wisely did not continue to meet Qian Renxue's gaze.
His face did not redden, his heart did not race, and he did not look at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue felt helpless and could not reprimand Jiang Chen in front of Xiao Ying.
She looked at Xiao Ying, "Xiao Ying, give me the secret letter."
Xiao Ying glared at Jiang Chen once more before taking out the secret letter and handing it to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue took the envelope, opened it with a serious expression, and read it carefully.
Her expression became more and more surprised, and she kept glancing at Jiang Chen from time to time.
The moment Qian Renxue unfolded the letter paper, Jiang Chen's gaze had already pierced through and roughly read it.
It turned out that the letter spoke about him and Hu Liena becoming the Holy Son and Holy Daughter.
It had already been several days, yet it was only now being delivered here.
"Little Chen, congratulations." Qian Renxue put down the letter paper.
"Miss, what does it say?" Xiao Ying was very curious.
Qian Renxue directly handed it to her, "Read it yourself."
Xiao Ying quickly finished reading, and her pretty face was already filled with shock.
She did not even notice the letter paper slipping from her hand. She raised her head to look at Jiang Chen, and the shock on her face gradually turned into bewilderment.
This guy, who was handsome, cooked delicious food, and behaved a bit like a rogue, was actually the Holy Son?
But he did not seem to have any aura of a Holy Son at all.
Although Xiao Ying had never seen a Holy Son before, according to her imagination, a Holy Son should be majestic, domineering, and unreachable.
"Little Ying sister, are you suddenly very admiring of your brother?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Xiao Ying's mood was complicated, and she directly turned her head, giving Jiang Chen the back of her head.
She had originally thought that Jiang Chen's status was the same as hers, but she had not expected him to be a hidden big shot.
"When did you become 'brother'?" Qian Renxue looked at Jiang Chen with a strange expression.
"I'm older than her." Jiang Chen quickly winked at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue felt somewhat speechless and did not expose Jiang Chen.
She stood up, waved her hand, and said, "If there's nothing else, you two can go back. I need to cultivate. You two should not slack off in your usual cultivation either, understand?"
"Understood." Xiao Ying nodded.
Jiang Chen, however, said, "Big sister, I have something to report to you."
"What is it?" Qian Renxue sat down again.
Flap flap flap... A small black bird flew in.
"Big sister, do you still remember it?" Jiang Chen smiled.
Qian Renxue naturally remembered. Recalling the scene from a year ago, her beautiful eyes glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, and her cheeks actually reddened.
That had been a full view from top to bottom.
Now that it was serious business, Jiang Chen stopped flirting and proceeded to recount how he had monitored Prince Xue Xing, discovered that Prince Xue Xing had gone to see Xue Beng, and described the process of Xue Beng humiliating the young girl.
"That was a girl about the same age as Xiao Ying, and she was just an ordinary person, yet she was defiled by that beast who is worse than a pig or dog."
"And he even threatened the girl with the extermination of her entire family, forbidding her from spreading the matter. That girl probably no longer has any desire to live."
He glanced at Qian Renxue and Xiao Ying and found that both girls' fists were tightly clenched, their knuckles turning white.
Their two pretty faces were tense, filled with killing intent.
"From Xue Beng's words, this was not the first time. He even instructed his servants to help him select more young girls, especially those from respectable families."
Bang!
Qian Renxue slammed her hand heavily on the table, causing the teacups to fly up from the vibration.
"What a beast. I thought he was just infatuated with brothels, but I didn't expect him to be so deranged to this extent."
Qian Renxue's words seemed to squeeze out from between her teeth, carrying intense killing intent.
"Such a beast deserves to be killed!" Xiao Ying's face was also covered in frost.
"Big sister, don't be anxious. I haven't finished yet."
Jiang Chen then recounted how Prince Xue Xing had angrily scolded Xue Beng and instructed him to act like a profligate.
The killing intent on Qian Renxue's face disappeared, replaced by utter shock.
She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She had not expected that the uncle and nephew pair had already begun to suspect her and had started secretly investigating.
If Jiang Chen had not told her, she might have remained in the dark and perhaps one day really have discovered some clues.
In that case, the Spirit Hall's many years of planning would have come to nothing.
As she thought about it, a layer of cold sweat had already seeped out from her back.
