Chapter 182: Acting Hard
"It's Ling Junqi who has been working for my eldest brother. You should have heard of him, right?"
He Tingxi and Princess Mingle talked as they walked.
"Ling Junqi?" Princess Mingle thought about it and then suddenly realized.
"Oh, I see. I've heard of him, but I've never seen him."
"That's great. Let's meet later." He Tingxi said with a smile.
"Okay, let's meet him." Princess Mingle responded generously and did not refuse.
"Ah."
They walked slowly towards the dining room.
Princess Mingle followed He Tingxi into the dining room, and as soon as she entered, she saw Ling Xiyue and a young and handsome man sitting at the dining table.
There were three maids standing on both sides of the dining room door.
At a glance, these six maids all looked big and strong, like laborers.
Princess Mingle was just stunned and said nothing.
When Ling Xiyue and Ling Junqi saw He Tingxi and the others, they stood up tacitly and faced Princess Mingle with smiles on their faces.
Seeing this, He Tingxi introduced as he walked.
"Mingle, this is the Young Master Ling Junqi that I just mentioned."
"Junqi, come and meet Princess Mingle."
"Ling Junqi greets Her Royal Highness Princess Mingle. I wish the princess a long life." As soon as Ling Junqi heard He Tingxi's introduction, he immediately bowed.
"Mr. Ling, there's no need to be so polite." Princess Mingle responded.
"Thank you, Princess." Ling Junqi responded respectfully.
"Everyone, please sit down and talk." Seeing this, He Tingxi gestured with his hand.
"Yes."
He Tingxi deliberately asked Princess Mingle to sit opposite Ling Junqi, while he himself sat next to Ling Xiyue.
After sitting down, Princess Mingle began to look at Ling Junqi's appearance.
After taking a look, Princess Mingle was very satisfied with Ling Junqi's appearance and a smile appeared on her face.
Although, I don’t really like Ling Junqi’s overly “soft” makeup.
"Serve the food." He Tingxi ordered the maids.
"Yes."
The maids standing in the dining room all went out to serve the meals.
Soon, the meal was served, a table full of delicious food, very sumptuous.
After serving the meal, the maids continued to stand on both sides of the dining room, waiting to be ordered.
In order to show his respect for Princess Mingle, He Tingxi specially asked the people in the mansion to prepare the dishes according to the highest standards.
Ling Xiyue was somewhat shocked by the sumptuous meal in front of her.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart: I didn't expect that His Highness knew how to arrange the dishes. Different dishes for different people. This table full of dishes must have cost a lot of money. His Highness, you really put a lot of thought into my brother and me. Thinking about it, I still feel guilty towards him.
Princess Mingle looked at the food on the table and a smile appeared on her face, looking happy.
"Let's eat, everyone." He Tingxi picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile.
"Okay." Everyone responded by picking up their chopsticks.
At this time, He Tingxi looked at Princess Mingle and said in a gentle tone: "Mingle, come to the eldest brother's house to eat, just be casual, there are no outsiders here."
"Okay, thank you, brother." Princess Mingle smiled politely.
"Okay." He Tingxi nodded with a smile. Then, he found that Ling Junqi and Ling Xiyue were looking at him without picking up any food. He smiled and said, "Let's eat."
"Yes." Ling Junqi and Ling Xiyue responded at the same time.
In order to make Princess Mingle focus on Ling Junqi, He Tingxi deliberately looked at Ling Junqi and reminded him, "Junqi, just be casual. This meatball is good. Try it."
After saying that, he pointed to a plate of meatballs on the table.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Ling Junqi instantly understood He Tingxi's intention, and he immediately picked up a meatball with his chopsticks.
"Mingle, you try it too." He Tingxi turned and looked at Princess Mingle.
"it is good."
Princess Mingle also picked up a meatball and put it directly into her mouth.
While eating the meatballs, she raised her head slightly and saw Ling Junqi also eating meatballs.
When she took a closer look, she was stunned. She didn't expect Ling Junqi's movement of holding the chopsticks to be so "seductive". His little finger was even slightly raised, like a girl singing an opera.
He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue also saw it. They both lowered their heads slightly, pursed their lips, and said nothing.
Ling Junqi noticed Princess Mingle's shocked look and was secretly delighted. In order to increase the intensity, he ate the meatballs in small bites.
A small meatball should be eaten in two bites at most, but Ling Junqi took six or seven bites before he finished the meatball.
Princess Mingle was shocked at the scene in front of her. After she saw Ling Junqi finish eating the meatball, she "finished" the meatball in her mouth in two bites.
At this moment, Princess Mingle's "good impression" of Ling Junqi gradually disappeared, and there was no smile on her face when she looked at Ling Junqi.
He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue both saw Princess Mingle's reaction clearly. They looked at each other tacitly, with smiles in their eyes.
Seeing Princess Mingle's gloomy face, He Tingxi deliberately asked: "What's wrong with Mingle? Is the food not to your liking?"
Princess Mingle finally came to her senses and forced a smile at He Tingxi.
"No, the food is very tasty."
"That's good." He Tingxi responded with a smile.
At this time, Princess Mingle continued to eat, but she couldn't help but secretly look at Ling Junqi to see what new tricks Ling Junqi could "come up with".
Ling Junqi has always known that Princess Mingle was secretly watching him. In order to make Princess Mingle hate him even more, he deliberately "performed" his "unique skill" of eating rice in front of Princess Mingle.
He picked up a few grains of rice with chopsticks, put them into his mouth, and chewed them slowly. After chewing for many times, he swallowed them.
After that, continue to pick up a few grains of rice and chew them slowly as before.
Princess Mingle was stunned by the way this "toothless old woman" ate. She felt like she was about to lose control and wanted to get angry.
However, thinking that Ling Junqi was the brother of Princess Yan, she still endured it.
At this time, Princess Mingle looked at Ling Junqi with eyes full of disdain and disgust. She no longer wanted to look at Ling Junqi and kept her head down while eating.
He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue watched Ling Junqi's performance with a mentality of watching a play. Seeing that Ling Junqi's performance was so hateful, they felt very satisfied.
Ling Junqi noticed from the corner of his eye that Princess Mingle "hated" him very much. He knew that his goal had been achieved and there was no need to stay any longer.
After he finished the rice in his mouth, he put down his chopsticks.
"Your Highness, Her Majesty, and Princess, please enjoy your meal." Ling Junqi nodded to He Tingxi and the others one by one.
"Are you full? You only ate a little?" He Tingxi looked shocked.
"I've been feeling unwell lately, and the doctor told me to eat small meals frequently." Ling Junqi responded honestly.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." He Tingxi said with sudden realization.
"Yeah." Ling Junqi smiled slightly.
"Then, you should leave. It's not very convenient to sit here." He Tingxi ordered.
"Yes."
