Transmigrated into the body of a tycoon's spoiled ex-girlfriend

When the waiter came in to deliver the menu, Ke Miantang had already eagerly flipped through it.

The Japanese beef set meal included truffle foie gras and some seafood soups she couldn't name.

Each page of the menu was accompanied by exquisite pictures; just looking at them made her mouth water.

Before she transmigrated, she was a typical foodie who would drag her friends to try new places every few days.

After transmigrating to this world, she discovered that the greatest benefit was still the food—food so delicious it made her want to cry.

"This one, this one, and this one." Ke Miantang pointed to the picture on the menu, her voice unconsciously carrying a hint of excitement: "I want this matcha dessert."

The waiter looked at Rong She, who nodded slightly.

Zhou Ran sat down next to her and laughed, "Sister-in-law has a really good appetite."

There was no malice in those words; it was just a simple joke.

Ke Miantang then realized that her behavior just now might not have been very elegant.

She cleared her throat, handed the menu back to the waiter, and slightly raised her chin, trying to regain some of her aura as a chaebol heiress.

The first dish served was an appetizer.

The presentation was as exquisite as a work of art, with several thin slices of raw beef laid out in a small gold dish, garnished with caviar and edible gold leaf. When the light shone on it, the gold leaf shimmered.

Ke Miantang couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks, take a slice, dip it in the sauce, and stuff it into her mouth.

The meat was tender and melted in her mouth. The salty and savory sauce and the sweetness of the meat itself melted on her tongue, making her squint her eyes slightly.

She picked up another slice.

Just then, a soft chuckle came from the side.

Ke Miantang turned his head to look and saw He Yayin pick up a piece of beef with her chopsticks, elegantly bring it to her mouth, take a small bite, chew slowly, and then neatly place the chopsticks on the chopstick rest.

Her movements were natural and graceful, and every detail revealed the composure she had been carefully cultivated since childhood.

"Miss Ke eats with such gusto," He Ya-yin said with a smile. "I really envy you. I was taught from a young age to eat slowly and carefully. I wish I could try eating as freely as Miss Ke."

The system translated in its head: "Translate this: Your eating manners are truly awful, like an ill-mannered nouveau riche."

Ke Miantang paused. She might not have any other skills, but she was definitely good at reading between the lines.

She looked at He Yayin with a smile, her voice soft and gentle: "Miss He, it's good that you have this intention. A lady of a prominent family like you is more suited to maintaining elegance. As for eating heartily, leave it to someone like me who does as I please."

After saying that, he picked up the third slice of beef and put it in his mouth, chewing it with relish: "After all, you can't learn a certain kind of demeanor."

He Yayin's smile froze on her face; her attempt to control her expression failed, and Ke Miantang saw it clearly.

Ke Miantang was in a great mood after appreciating the brief silence.

She picked up a piece of beef and naturally offered it to Rong She's mouth.

"Ah~" she uttered a soft sound, her lips slightly pouting, her tone as sweet as if she had just been pulled out of a honey pot.

With the beef dangling from his lips, Rong She slightly lifted his eyelids, his calm gaze reflecting her smiling face.

Ke Miantang waited a few seconds, and her outstretched arm began to ache.

My heart sank, and only then did I belatedly realize that I had gotten a little carried away.

In the original novel, Ke Miantang tried to get close to Rong She many times, such as by feeding him, but he refused.

Thinking about it, she felt a little annoyed. It seemed that being kissed and hugged by him so often lately had given her some kind of unwarranted illusion.

But He Yayin was watching him like he was watching a show, and he just wouldn't answer. Wasn't that making her lose face in public?

Her cheeks puffed up and then flattened, her pouting lips trembled slightly, she lowered her eyes, sighed inwardly, and was about to take the beef back and stuff it into her mouth.

The next second, Rong She lowered his head and bit into the piece of beef.

When his lips touched the chopsticks, his eyelashes drooped slightly. This angle made his features look softer, less aloof than usual, and even a little docile.

Ke Miantang's eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile bloomed on her face.

Rong She looked up and met that smile. Her Adam's apple bobbed slightly. The smile was like a kitten after stealing a bite, so soft that one wanted to grab her by the back of the neck and devour her bit by bit.

Soon, she drawled out her words in a sickeningly sweet tone, "Brother Rongshe, this fish has so many bones, I don't dare to eat it, I'm afraid I'll choke."

She pointed to the steamed sea bass in front of her.

Upon hearing this address, Rong She paused for a moment before swallowing, his Adam's apple bobbing heavily as he glanced sideways at her with his peach blossom eyes.

Ke Miantang blinked innocently, and as her eyelashes fluttered, the light shattered into tiny spots in her pupils.

The others were surprised by her reaction and went about their own business, while He Yayin's face turned ashen.

Everyone thought Rong She would refuse coldly. They had all known Rong She for many years and knew the young master's temperament. He didn't like being ordered around, and he especially didn't like being ordered around in public in such an intimate and almost ostentatious way.

But this time, Rong She picked up the serving chopsticks.

He twirled the dark chopsticks between his fingers, picked up a piece of fish and placed it on his plate, then carefully removed every tiny bone.

His movements were slow and meticulous. He examined the fish in the dish several times until he was sure there wasn't a single bone left, before he stopped.

Zhou Ran's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Asking Rong She to remove fish bones is something that would be unthinkable at Chengxin College.

The number one on the whitelist, the only son of the Nebula Consortium, the one who stands at the top of the pyramid looking down on everyone, actually helped Ke Miantang, who is number seventeen on the whitelist, remove fish bones.

Ke Miantang herself was a little surprised.

She made him pick out the fish bones purely to spite He Ya-yin.

According to her understanding of the spoiled girlfriend persona, ordering her boyfriend to do excessive things in public best reflects arrogance and domineering behavior.

But she didn't expect him to actually pick one, and to pick one so carefully.

Rong She pushed the deboned fish meat in front of Ke Miantang and said in a calm voice, "Eat it."

Looking at the cleaned fish on the plate, Ke Miantang thought that this person was actually quite obedient.

In a great mood, she picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, chewing as she mentally told the system, "See, he's quite well-behaved."

"Host, your definition of 'well-behaved' might be a little different from that of a normal person."

"Who cares? I'm his girlfriend now, so what's wrong with letting him pick out a fishbone?"

Across from her, He Yayin gripped her chopsticks tightly.

Looking at Ke Miantang's face, which was eating without any burden, she felt not only jealousy, but also resentment.

She had known Rong She for several years and had seen him in various situations, so she thought she was one of the people who knew him best.

But she had never seen him remove fish bones for anyone else; he was not that kind of person at all.

Halfway through the meal, Ke Miantang put down her chopsticks, turned to Rong She, and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Rong She was chatting with Zhou Ran when he heard this and nodded.

When Ke Miantang pushed back her chair and stood up, He Yayin also stood up.

"I'll go too," He Yayin said with a smile. "Let's go together."
