Chapter 651: He really... I'm crying my eyes out.

"Have you thought about what you want to say to me?"

This sentence sounded so simple.

Yet, hearing it was so heartbreaking.

Actually, without Zheng Qian asking, Shang Rongyan already knew what he was going to say. But just as if she had been battling with herself for hours, she tightly pressed her lips together, still unable to make a decision, simply unable to open her mouth.

"Sigh, it's such a pity for this delicious local Yebai beef." Zheng Qian shook his head, opened the lid on the tray, gently cut off a small piece of meat, picked it up with chopsticks and swayed it, saying with emotion, "This is local beef air-freighted from Yebai. Each one is strictly selected and can breed with 72 cows at the same time. I can't even match this physical fitness."

"Furthermore, this steak—the sweet aroma of the meat intertwined with a unique charred scent. After precise time and temperature control, the surface has been seared to a deep brown. The crispy texture mixed with the aroma of fat makes one unable to resist taking bite after bite."

"However, once you take a bite, you can feel the tenderness and sweetness inside the beef. The meat melts instantly in the mouth, the juices dance on the tip of the tongue, and the savory meat flavor echoes passionately with the rich roasted aroma on the tongue..."

Just like that, Zheng Qian actually started eating in front of Shang Rongyan.

She pressed her lips tightly together, no longer to keep herself from speaking, but to prevent drool from flowing out.

This damn man!

His description was simply too vivid!

No, this steak is just lying right in front of her!

Such an alluring scent made Shang Rongyan suddenly realize... it seemed that the local beef she used to look down on the most actually had such an irresistible quality?

Watching Zheng Qian about to finish the entire steak, Shang Rongyan was furious.

I haven't had a single bite, and you're already finishing it?

No... that's not right. Who... who said I wanted to eat your food...

Shang Rongyan really wanted to tell Zheng Qian this, then tell him to get out of her sight.

But she really couldn't say it. She had never experienced special training in regards to hunger, and she didn't even have the trouble of needing to lose weight. She was naturally born unable to gain weight regardless of how much she ate, and the key was that the places that should have meat didn't lack it, while the places that should be thin were thin, which made her very proud.

This was the first time she personally felt that being hungry was such a painful thing.

"Paired with fresh vegetables and a unique sauce, it pushes this experience to the peak. Every bite carries the chef's meticulous cooking and the unique imprint of the dish, making it unforgettable..."

Zheng Qian said this while making tsk-tsk sounds.

It gave people the feeling that this beef seemed to only exist in heaven, how many times in a lifetime can one eat it on earth?

"Enough!"

Finally, our Shang Rongyan couldn't hold back anymore.

Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, she clutched the quilt tightly, raised her head, and looked at Zheng Qian with eyes that were extremely complex. There was anger, unwillingness, resentment, hatred, and pity...

Indescribable, unspeakable.

Zheng Qian put down his knife and fork, poured a glass of red wine, and said indifferently, "I forgot to mention, when eating steak, you must pair it with the right red wine. This local Yebai beef, added with this glass of local Yebai red wine—Xunnidi, the taste explodes instantly."

It was over; this scene completely shattered Shang Rongyan's psychological defenses.

The constant wafting aroma made her momentarily lose her focus.

"Please..."

Shang Rongyan bit her lip tightly and said in a trembling voice.

She never expected that the dignified Second Miss of the Shang family would not be defeated by money, not by love, and certainly not by life or death... but by the steak in front of her! Defeated by food! But, she was really so hungry!

Zheng Qian put down his wine glass, "Beg me for what?"

"Please, give me food... I, I will never waste food again..."

Shang Rongyan's eyes were already filled with abundant tears.

They could slide down her cheeks at any moment, but she still tried hard to hold them back, not letting the "little pearls" roll down.

"Sigh."

Zheng Qian let out a long sigh, slowly sat beside her, gently pushed aside the hair covering her cheek, wiped the still-damp corners of her eyes, and looked at her with an extremely gentle gaze, "You see, this is a very simple matter, right? Actually, I didn't mean to treat you like this, but you were a bit too excessive. Wasting food is a very serious sin."

"Among the seven deadly sins, gluttony is wasting food, and you won't be able to go to heaven after you die."

"And you are really too cruel to your subordinates. Smashing ashtrays on faces, almost tearing off ears, slapping them for no reason—you look like such a nice girl, why are you so twisted? Alright, stop crying, come with me."

[Favorability + 3]

Previously, Zheng Qian was so fierce and brutal in her eyes, but this sudden gentleness instantly made her unable to hold it together anymore. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and her delicate body trembled even more violently.

With this scene happening, it directly brought Shang Rongyan's Favorability to 80 points.

She really was a very strange person.

It wasn't that the way to increase Favorability was strange, but that even at 80 points, having reached the level marked by the system as ready for marriage discussions, Zheng Qian still knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to be in love with him right now.

However, such a high value definitely represented some kind of meaning.

However, now was not the time to dwell on these things.

Zheng Qian very gently wiped the corners of Shang Rongyan's eyes with a towel. At first, she struggled symbolically, but then she didn't have any reaction. She just slightly lowered her head, her cheeks exceptionally red, red to the point of seeming like they could drip water.

Leading her, he brought her to the newly cleaned room next door.

Looking at the dazzling array of delicacies in front of her, Shang Rongyan cried even harder.

"Little Shang, the previous room was smashed by you beyond recognition; eating in that kind of environment certainly wouldn't put you in a good mood. Let's stay here. I've also told your maids to bring your belongings over later."

"You see, just by asking me, you will get everything."

"You can watch TV, and you can also use your phone to connect to WiFi. Of course, certain social media apps definitely cannot be used, but watching videos, binge-watching shows, etc., is no problem... Alright, sit down and eat, and rest early after you finish."

Patting her head, Zheng Qian politely exited the room.

For a moment, a very strange but fitting impulse arose in Shang Rongyan's heart.

That was...

Zheng Qian was really too gentle, he... treated her too well. For the first time, Shang Rongyan wanted to hug a strange man so much. At the same time, a bolder thought appeared in her mind.

He even dared to go against her brother like this.

If she dated someone like him, he probably wouldn't suddenly "be disappeared" like her previous boyfriends, right.

However, this thought had just appeared when it was driven out of Shang Rongyan's head; she thought she had truly gone crazy. Right now, the top priority was to fill her stomach...

"Ah, I'm so hungry! So hungry, so hungry, so hungry!"

"Ah! This Yebai beef is so delicious!"

"Ah! When I return to Shanghu, I must air-freight a few Yebai cows over too!"

"Ah! Xunnidi is so delicious!"

"Ah! So delicious! Delicious... wuwuwu... wuwuwu... I'm really crying to death... wuwuwu... he's really so bad... wuwuwu... but he treats me so well too... wuwuwu... scumbag... pfft!"
