CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 399: DIFFERENT TREATMENT FOR THE PERSON YOU LIKE

But what they didn’t expect was that Qi Ming casually pulled Wen Qiao towards him, placing her in the seat immediately to the left of Fu Jinghen.

???

Huh?

What’s going on here?

Qi Ming made up an excuse on the spot, "Sit here, both you and my little uncle are left-handed, so it saves me and him from fighting over our meals."

Then everyone seemed to have an epiphany.

In fact, Qi Ming only knew that Fu Jinghen was left-handed; he had no idea whether Wen Qiao was or wasn’t, but that didn’t stop him from pushing the two of them together.

Otherwise, if he sat next to Fu Jinghen, he was afraid this meal might lead to indigestion.

Just as everyone was about to sit down for the meal, Shi Koufan suddenly asked him, "How do you know Wen Qiao is left-handed?"

"I saw it when we had meals together," Qi Ming answered without missing a beat. "How else would I know, didn’t you see it during the last show?"

Shi Koufan replied, "But during the last show, Wen Qiao used her right hand to eat."

?

Have you immigrated from the ’Must Be Involved in Everything or Die’ planet to the ’Must Debunk Others or Die’ planet?

Doesn’t that mouth get used for eating? Why so talkative?

"Oh," Qi Ming remained perfectly calm as he continued to bluff, "Then she must have used her left hand when she ate with me, that’s how I knew."

Everyone’s gaze shifted back and forth between Wen Qiao and Qi Ming, and then, as if on cue, they all revealed deeply meaningful expressions.

Is this how young people express romance these days?

Special treatment for someone you like is eating with the other hand in front of them?

Unlike the others, Fu Jinghen’s gaze lingered on Wen Qiao, filled with unspeakable depths.

As for the myriad of thoughts running through the minds of the people in the private room, Wen Qiao had no interest in exploring them.

She was currently troubled by one thing—

She wasn’t left-handed and had no idea how to hold chopsticks in her left hand.

The cover that Qi Ming had provided for her and Fu Jinghen was less than ideal.

Wen Qiao glanced at the utensils on the table and sighed.

It’s just using the left hand to hold chopsticks, she could do it.

Everyone present knew this meal was to welcome Fu Jinghen, and the guests around the table were split into two factions. Led by Director Li, the production team along with Fang Baichen and Shen Zai, the two regular MCs, primarily engaged in conversation revolving around Fu Jinghen. The other three, the younger group, only had eyes for the food and could not fit anything else in their sights.

The three of them dining together seemed to be having a blast, which made them somewhat out of place in comparison to the rest of the guests in the private room.

However, compared to Qi Ming and Shi Koufan, Wen Qiao was still very polite while eating.

As the filming of "Red Makeup" entered the middle to later stages, Princess Rong Huan faced immense trauma after the downfall of her nation and family, with her mental and emotional anguish most visibly represented in her appearance.

This required Wen Qiao to slim down in a short period of time, so she was constantly restraining her hands and mouth.

Her mind was filled with persistent thoughts—

"Need to lose weight," "Control my eating," "Everything is for acting; I can do this!"

Director Li looked disdainfully at the three opposite him and said to Fu Jinghen, "President Fu, I apologize for their behavior, they’re not usually like this."

To be precise, the last time they filmed, the three of them behaved quite appropriately during the meal.

How come their true colors show as soon as a big shot is present?

"It’s fine."

One after another, people spoke to Fu Jinghen throughout the meal, and he showed not a hint of impatience.

While conversing with the production team, he kept an eye on Wen Qiao by his side.
