Chapter 524 - 525: Preparing the Meal Immediately
Di Mingzhe furrowed his brow slightly and stepped forward.
The butler also quickly followed, instructing the servants, "The lord has yet to eat, prepare the meal immediately."
"Yes." The servant respectfully agreed, and hurried off to prepare the meal.
"Are you feeling better?" Di Mingzhe walked to the dining table, ignoring the chair the butler had pulled out for him at his designated seat, he chose to sit directly next to Di Xiaxia.
Di Xiaxia prodded at the rice in her bowl, "So-so, I don’t feel anything notable, it still hurts."
She then started to dig in, her left-handed grip on the spoon was incredibly awkward.
Di Mingzhe didn’t say a word and simply sat quietly by her side.
Less than two seconds later, Di Mingzhe frowned, "Why are you only eating rice?"
Di Xiaxia was somewhat embarrassed because it was difficult to serve dishes with her left hand!
Normally, she would protest, but this time she didn’t, she merely grumbled about the rice, "It’s delicious."
Just as her words faded away, a slender finger suddenly emerged, taking the spoon from her hand.
A puzzled Di Xiaxia turned her head, Di Mingzhe expressionlessly said, "Let me do it."
As he said this, he took her spoon, scooped up a spoonful of food and placed it in front of her, "Eat up."
Di Xiaxia was exceedingly awkward, damn it, his method was really bizarre!
Feeding her?
The feeling was so awkward!
She was already an adult and didn’t need others to feed her, this was really contrary to her expectations!
"No, no need." Di Xiaxia quickly shook her head, "I can do it myself."
Di Mingzhe watched her for a moment, eventually placing the spoon back in her bowl. However, he thoughtfully picked up the chopsticks that the butler had brought over, grabbing some dishes and placing them in her bowl.
The servants then brought over the soup that Fang Hao had ordered. They placed it in front of Di Mingzhe and respectfully said, "My lord, this is a soup the lady had specifically called us to prepare for you."
"Did the lady stop by?" Di Mingzhe asked, picking up the soup bowl.
"Yes." The servant nodded.
Di Mingzhe didn’t say anything further and took a sip of the soup. He hadn’t eaten for the entire day until now, and drinking some soup seemed like the best course of action.
However, after one sip, his brow furrowed. What was this flavor? It was somewhat fishy.
But unlike Di Xiaxia’s overt surprise, he simply put down the soup and asked indifferently, "What type of soup is this?"
The servant sincerely responded, "Ginseng, deer antler, oh, and also tiger penis."
Di Mingzhe’s expression stiffened immediately.
A sharp twitch tugged at the corner of his eye, and Di Mingzhe calmly replied, "I see, I will not be drinking this soup. Take this away."
The servant’s face was filled with bitterness, while Di Xiaxia’s eyes widened.
Holy cow, ginseng, deer antler, and tiger penis!
What is mom planning?
"Do have some more." The butler couldn’t help but step forward and advise, "The lady stated that your health has been poor and has instructed us to provide you with nourishing food. The lady personally brought this box of medicinal ingredients over."
Di Xiaxia, who was eating, almost spit out her rice. A box?!
Damn, would the elder brother be over-nourished and end up with a nosebleed?
Even if she was a bit silly, she knew what tiger penis is used for!
But what exactly is mom’s intention to feed elder brother these nourishing ingredients?
Di Xiaxia was curious about whether Di Mingzhe would actually drink it, so she unintentionally but curiously gaped at him with her wide, beautiful eyes.
The naive girl never connected the nourishing soup to herself!
With her surprised, conflicted yet excited and curious gaze on him, Di Mingzhe’s lips twitched slightly, as he suddenly turned to look at her.
