Chapter 141: Table Manners

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Tang Xi took a look at Yang Jingxian, who nodded at her with a smile and gestured for her to sit beside her. Tang Xi sat beside Qiao Yuxin and sweetly called her Aunt Qiao. The latter nodded at her with a smile and turned to look at Qiao Liang, complaining, "Don't be a workaholic. Come on, sit down and have dinner. When was the last time you had dinner with me?"

Qiao Liang hummed in response as he slowly walked over and, in a natural manner, sat beside Tang Xi under everyone's stare. Uttering a curse under his breath, Xiao Jing curled his lips and walked over as well.

At this moment, Xiao Yao came down from the study on the second floor with General Yang. When he saw Tang Xi sitting beside Qiao Liang, he frowned, then took a deep breath and helped General Yang walk downstairs, saying, "Grandpa, slow down a bit."

General Yang seemed to be in a very good mood. He patted Xiao Yao's arm and smiled as he said, "I'm still strong. No need to support me."

Xiao Yao smiled but did not loosen his hand. He helped General Yang down the stairs, went to the dining table and sat directly beside him.

It was a round table and they were all sitting around it. Yuan Lihua said cheerfully, "It's been a long time since we had dinner together." Then she looked at Tang Xi and Qiao Yuxin, adding, "Yuxin, Rourou, Qiao Liang, eat more. Help yourselves."

Tang Xi smiled and nodded. They all drank a glass of wine and began to eat...

Everything was normal at the beginning. Tang Xi would pick up food for Qiao Yuxin with her chopsticks from time to time, to which the latter would respond with a thanks, while at times Qiao Yuxin would also do the same for Tang Xi, to which the latter would also respond with a thanks and a smile. The atmosphere was very warm, but it was then that her hand was slowly taken hold of. Tang Xi frowned and looked at Qiao Liang, but he continued to pick up food for himself and eat casually as if nothing had happened.

Tang Xi attempted to pull back her hand as she ate, but the hand holding hers was too powerful, so she couldn't do it no matter how hard she tried. Tang Xi moved her finger to tickle Qiao Liang's palm, but he didn't even bat an eyelid, though he kept his hand under the table.

Tang Xi had no choice but to continue eating.

The Xiao brothers, who had been watching them, had long noticed the interaction between Tang Xi and Qiao Liang. Xiao Jing clenched his teeth. Oh, how he wanted to drag Tang Xi away from Qiao Liang, but as he was afraid the latter might force him to work overtime, he could only pretend he didn't see it. Xiao Sa had nothing against Qiao Liang and was afraid that he might offend his sister if he disturbed them, so he kept silent... And as for Xiao Yao...

"Rourou, you can't just eat from the dishes. Eat some rice too." Xiao Yao glanced at Tang Xi before picking up his bowl to fill it with soup and then drink it as if nothing had happened.

Tang Xi smiled, while Qiao Liang finally released her hand. She took up her bowl to eat and smiled as he said, "I am eating rice. It's just that the dishes are too delicious, which is why I'm eating a bit more of them."

"That's okay," said Yuan Lihua. "If you like the dishes, eat as much as you want. The pig's feet soup is nice. You can drink more. It doesn't matter if you don't want to eat rice."

Tang Xi answered with a smile and filled her bowl with some soup. Qiao Liang nudged his bowl close to her and said flatly, "Miss Xiao, please fill some soup for me. Thanks." Then he paused and added, "The soup is a bit far from me."
