Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant’s Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 433

Chapter 433: The Arrogant Woman In The Sky

Xu Jianchen arrived at the dining hall and was shocked to find Zuiying standing outside. “Big brother shadow guard, how did you get captured again?”

Zuiying noticed that Xu Jianchen was limping and realized that he was hurt. All of a sudden, he felt somewhat guilty deep down inside. “Second Young Master, I have troubled you.”

Xu Jianchen’s little face was quite pale, as he kindly said, “Big brother shadow guard, if you have any trouble, you can ask me to help. I’ll definitely help you if I can.”

Zuiying couldn’t help but reach his hand out to pinch Xu Jianchen’s cute, handsome little face. “Second Young Master, do you want me to teach you martial arts? That way, you’ll never have to be afraid of being bullied when you step out of your door.”

Xu Jianchen’s eyes instantly lit up. “Big brother Zuiying, will you really teach me martial arts?”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Zuiying nodded. “I’m really willing to teach you martial arts,” he replied.

Xu Jianchen’s face suddenly looked like it had new life in him. “I’ll go eat now. Just wait until I’m healed, I’ll come look for you to start training,” he said with a smile.

Zuiying smiled and nodded.

Xu Jianchen cheerfully walked into the dining hall to eat, but when he saw Xu Ziling, his face instantly fell. Sitting opposite her, he glared at her with towering rage. However, just when he sat down, he abruptly furrowed his brows as he couldn’t stand the pain in his bottom and leg. Just then, he took a few deep breaths like he was absolutely fine and sat down steadily.

Xu Jianfeng stepped inside and sat by Xu Ziling’s side. He glanced at Xu Jianchen silently, as a hint of pity flashed his eyes.

After Xu Jianyao stepped inside, he sensed there was something not right about the atmosphere. However, he didn’t think much of it. Instead, he walked right up to the chair and took a seat.

The moment Madam Xu stepped inside, she intuitively glanced at Xu Jianchen and noticed how pale he looked. She let out a subtle sigh. As she thought, Ling’er had taught him a lesson again.

So then, after she took her seat, she turned to Xu Ziling. “Ling’er, you must be patient and generous with your younger brother. Don’t go overboard,” she said.

Xu Ziling nodded. “Mhm, mother. I know.”

“Let’s eat. Each and every one of you, don’t make me worry about you. It would be great if you all could start a family and business one day,” Madam Xu sincerely wished.

The entire meal felt tense and went by in dead silence. However, everyone seemed to be used to it and didn’t think there was anything wrong.

Xu Jianchen finished eating very quickly and left, followed by Xu Jianfeng, Xu Jianyao, and Madam Xu.

In the end, only Xu Ziling was left to eat happily on her own.

“Zuiying,” cried Xu Ziling suddenly.

Zuiying smiled helplessly, then walked over with cupped fists. “At your service, Young Lady,” he responded.

“There’s too much food leftover. I hate wasting food, so I want you to finish this with me.”

“But…”

“But nothing. It’s not your life, so what’s there to refuse?”

In the end, Zuiying had no option but to sit with Xu Ziling and enjoy the beautiful food on the table. There was in fact, a lot of leftover food. Zuiying didn’t hold back and picked his favorite foods.

Xu Ziling reached her hand out to feed Zuiying food with the chopsticks.

Zuiying suddenly didn’t know if he should eat it or not. He didn’t like eating her food.

“Eat it, it’s not poisonous,” said Xu Ziling nonchalantly.

Zuiying thought about it for a moment, then took a bite. He didn’t want to fight with her again, but no matter how delicious the food she picked was, it would turn bland.

The meal was quickly devoured.
