Chapter 169 Still thinking about ginseng soup?

When Qi Yunran brought the dishes out, she saw Pei Yuanjun sitting in the room reading a book, while Xiao Jingxuan was hiding outside eating dried meat.

"Hey! Xiao Jingxuan, how can you eat so much? Put it down and come eat!"

Xiao Jingxuan walked in, stealing a glance at Pei Yuanjun, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he wasn't angry.

Pei Yuanjun raised an eyebrow at him, her eyes carrying a hint of threat.

Xiao Jingxuan had no choice but to submit to his tyranny and swallow the truth about his godfather taking his snacks.

Qi Yunran made some refreshing green vegetables, while Master Yan preferred meat. Since there was meat at every meal, Qi Yunran was worried that Xiao Jingxuan would get too much nutrition, so she only made green vegetables.

Surprisingly, Xiao Jingxuan actually likes it quite a bit.

Pei Yuanjun felt a pang of sadness when he saw that none of the dishes on the table were to his liking.

It wasn't that he thought the food was bad; on the contrary, everything his wife cooked was delicious.

He could only sense that his wife no longer cared about him; the small bowl of ginseng soup that she used to make for him every day was gone.

For a moment, he looked at Qi Yunran with a somewhat resentful gaze.

Qi Yunran remained silent with her cold expression, but her face darkened.
Still thinking about ginseng soup?

He had been taking care of his health with 300-year-old wild ginseng for a month, and had already finished it.

What else would he like to eat?
Xiao Jingxuan ignored their thoughts and kept putting food on Qi Yunran and Pei Yuanjun's plates, urging them to eat quickly.

Despite being small and having short arms, he insisted on serving them food, which made Qi Yunran feel both gratified and amused.

Even if Qi Yunran was still angry with Pei Yuanjun, she wouldn't show any displeasure to Xiao Jingxuan. She happily accepted the food Xiao Jingxuan offered and ate it all.

Seeing that his godmother had finished eating while his godfather had barely touched the rice in his bowl, Xiao Jingxuan immediately said righteously, "Godfather, it's wrong for adults to be picky eaters. It not only wastes food but also wastes godmother's good intentions." Xiao Jingxuan sneered inwardly, "Serves you right for taking snacks from a child and threatening me!"

Qi Yunran's gaze fell on Pei Yuanjun's bowl, only to see that he hadn't touched the food that Xiao Jingxuan had put on his plate.

His tone immediately turned cold: "If you don't like my cooking, Pei Yuanjun, you can go back to the Pei family home and have your mother cook for you! Don't stay here all day like I owe you something."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanjun looked at Qi Yunran with a hurt expression.

Looking at her fair and flawless face, I couldn't bring myself to get angry. Instead, a deep sense of heartache and guilt rose from the depths of my heart.

Xiao Jingxuan originally wanted his godmother to teach his godfather a lesson, but he didn't expect them to quarrel. He immediately said anxiously, "Godfather and godmother, I'm sorry, it's all Jingxuan's fault. Jingxuan shouldn't have said those things."

After speaking, she looked at them with some apprehension, hoping they wouldn't argue.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yunran hugged Xiao Jingxuan tightly. She had overlooked the fact that Xiao Jingxuan was still a child.

We shouldn't argue in front of him, lest it leave a shadow in his heart later.

"Jingxuan, don't blame yourself. Your godfather and I didn't have a fight!"

After saying that, she glared at Pei Yuanjun and urged him to quickly comfort Xiao Jingxuan and put his mind at ease!
Pei Yuanjun felt a pang of jealousy; in his wife's heart, he was indeed not as important as Xiao Jingxuan.

"Yes, your godmother and I won't argue. We'll be there for you as you grow up! But boys shouldn't be so anxious. You should stay calm and clear-headed when facing anything, and never let emotions cloud your judgment."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Godfather. Jingxuan will remember it."

After dinner, Qi Yunran washed the dishes. Pei Yuanjun fetched water for Xiao Jingxuan to bathe himself, and then came to find Qi Yunran.

Qi Yunran washed the bowls, and Pei Yuanjun cleaned them with water.
