That night, at the grand house of the Nine Dragons.
After An Xia'er had finished cooking all the dishes, she sat in the living room with her head held up while waiting for Lu Bai to come down to eat. Steward Wei advised, "Young madam, Eldest Young Master's company has been very busy recently. He is currently discussing business matters with Secretary Qin in the study. Have a taste of the food you made? "
In the early autumn, Anchor wore a milky white turtleneck sweater, which made her face look even more round and soft.
Her hair was already long and tied loosely at the nape of her neck with a red rubber band.
The red leather tendons and jet-black hair accentuated her snow-white skin. It was breathtaking, as if it could break with a blow!
"..." "Is that so?" An Xia'er blinked sleepily as she looked somewhat tiredly in the direction of Lu Bai's study. "Then, alright, I'll go eat some first. When he comes down tonight, remember to let him try —"
An Xia'er yawned again.
Maybe it was because of the seasonal changes, but he was always feeling sleepy during this period of time.
"Young Madam." Steward Wei's nerves immediately tensed up, "It's better if you don't eat …" I mean, you need some nutrition right now, so it's not good to eat all the vegetables. I'll get the kitchen to prepare another dinner for you to eat. "
"Ah, what's wrong with that …"
"Someone, come." Without waiting for An Xia to finish, Steward Wei said to the maid at the side, "Have the kitchen prepare a meal for Young Mistress."
This was already a routine. As long as An Xia went to the kitchen to cook, no one would stop her —
But as soon as she was done, the cook would go to the kitchen and prepare another.
"Yes," the maid said quickly.
An Xia'er sighed. "Forget it. Anyway, you guys just despised my cooking …" I'll have to try it with Lu Bai anyway. "
"Yes, Young Madam."
Housekeeper Wei could only agree on this point.
Anxia went back to her room to sleep. When she came back down, the vegetables she had prepared were already gone.
An Xia'er looked at the delicacies prepared by the chef at the table. "Eh?" What did I do? "
Lu Bai, who had finished busying himself behind her, came down. He placed his hand on her waist, "The food you made is cold, you can try it another day. Come, accompany me for dinner."
Seeing Lu Bai, An Xia'er couldn't help but retort, "But, that was something I did for a few hours …"
"Then Madam has worked hard." Lu Bai smiled and said, "I'll definitely try it on another day after I return her back to the restaurant. Aren't you hungry now? If you're hungry, then eat first."
There was no choice but to eat dinner with him.
After sleeping for a while, she should be hungry again.
However, An Xia'er had always had a large appetite, but her appetite had decreased over the past few days.
Lu Bai ate in an extremely elegant manner. He looked at An Xia, who hadn't eaten much, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"…" An Xia'er put down her utensils, as if she had lost her appetite. "It's nothing. Maybe my appetite hasn't been good for a while. Anyway, my appetite isn't that good." From time to time, her stomach would turn sour and she would have to exert great effort to suppress that feeling of vomiting. It was over, she had indeed eaten too much during normal times. It was time for retribution.
"Bad appetite?" Lu Bai glanced at the dining table and confirmed that these were An Xia's favorite dishes. "Have the doctor come over to take a look tomorrow."
Butler Wei nodded, "Yes, Eldest Young Master."
But even though the response was a response, Steward Wei was secretly cursing in his heart: The young mistress just can't eat anymore. She usually eats too much food!
This was not because his appetite was bad, but because his appetite was too big.
It was midnight that night. An Xia'er sneaked out of the room, went to the kitchen to look for yoghurt, and went to the ingredient storeroom to look for snacks …
Under the infrared camera, Anchor was sitting alone in the dark hall with a pile of snacks to eat. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he clapped his hands, washed his hands, and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
In the dark bedroom, An Xia'er had just crawled into bed when Lu Bai opened his eyes.
The next morning.
An Xia still hadn't woken up. She had been getting lazier and lazier these days, unable to get out of bed until late in the morning. As a result, she was getting better and better nourished.
Lu Bai was sitting in the surveillance room of the Nine Dragons Courtyard. In front of him were a few large electronic screens that displayed images of the various areas of the villa.
"Eldest young master, the young madam is here …" Steward Wei switched one of the screens back to the scene in the hall last night.
Lu Bai stared at the screen, not saying a word.
The hall on the screen didn't have any lights on, but for Di Cheng's intelligent monitoring system, there was no problem because infrared surveillance would automatically turn on in the dark.
On the screen, Anchor was sitting in the living room, wearing soft pajamas. He was eating snacks with an alluring speed. His pretty and cute face looked full as he tore down a pack of snacks and then opened another … After finishing the food, he checked the bags to see if there were any left, it was just a snack.
Lu Bai stared at the image of An Xia'er sneakily sneaking out of her bedroom to eat snacks every night. He had an unreadable expression on his face: cold, hard, and angry.
"This woman …" Do I have nothing to give her to eat, or am I not allowing her to eat?
Butler Wei said, "Eldest Young Master, I'm afraid that's not the case. Young Madam must have lost her appetite during dinner time and got hungry again in the middle of the night. I had no choice but to get up to find something to eat."
After exiting the surveillance room, Lu Bai asked Steward Wei, who was behind him, "Is it that the chef's current cooking doesn't suit her appetite? Maybe a new batch of chefs will come in another day."
Butler Wei said, "Eldest Young Master, I don't think that's the reason. Last time, Young Madam praised the chefs of the Nine Dragons War Palace to be better at cooking than those Star Tavern's restaurants."
Lu Bai pondered for a moment. What was going on?
An Xia'er didn't have an appetite for food, but went for snacks instead?
As a mature and steady man, the president of an Asian multinational group, he really did not understand some women's preference for snacks.
Finally, Lu Bai stood in front of the veranda for a while. "What is she eating? Show it to me. "
Not long later.
The butler immediately called for An Xia to take out all of her stored snacks.
Like a mousetrap hoarding, the maid had found a pile of them in Anthea's private bedroom and her studio, all of them on the living room crystal table, like a small mountain.
"Young Master, that's about it."
The maid, Jingjing, said, "We didn't go to the pantry to see the ingredients."
They were afraid that Lu Bai would take away all of An Xia's snacks. The next time they quarreled, their Young Madam really wouldn't have anything to eat and starve to death … Therefore, he did not search for the ingredients.
Lu Bai picked up a canned food from the pile of snacks. There was a male celebrity's portrait on it. "What is this?"
The maid, Xiao Wen, said for them, "Young Master, this is a potato chip. It's Young Madam's favorite tomato flavor potato chip."
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows again and threw it to the side. Then, he picked up another bag —
He knew this, the pistachio nuts and almonds, the melon seeds, and the lover May who had seen toothache.
The maid, Xiao Wen, wanted to explain again. "Eldest young master, this is …"
"I know." Lu Bai had an expression that said he really didn't know anything and threw those aside, "Anyway, they are just junk food and won't do you any good. No famous talent would eat things like melon seeds."
This was the truth. Some men and women in the business world would not eat things like melon seeds …
Lu Baizhi picked up another bag of vacuum-packaged transparent bags. Inside the bags, there were red pieces and pieces that looked especially unpleasant to him.
He looked at the two words' duck neck 'on the package and frowned deeply, "What is this? What 'duck neck'? "
Butler Wei said, "Eldest Young Master, it means literally, the part of the duck's neck."
Lu Bai threw away his food, "What on earth is she eating that you don't know. You all let her eat this kind of thing, but she still sneaks out to eat it tonight?"
"Eldest Young Master." "Although you don't like to see animals' necks in your dishes, this kind of braised duck neck seems rather popular in snacks. As for the method of production and the guarantee of hygiene, I'm not sure about that. I don't eat this either, so I might as well ask the chef. "
As the steward of a wealthy family, he naturally would not have eaten such food before. As a seventh rank official in front of the Prime Minister, Steward Wei usually had high-grade food and only had a thorough understanding of high-grade food.
The maid next to her said, "I know. This thing is the most energetic when it comes to eating. Young madam likes to eat TV. I have eaten it too …"
"Right away." Lu Bai said coldly, "This kind of safety factor and unknown hygiene index, there won't be any benefit in eating it."
"..." "Yes."
Xiao Wen could only lower her head and agree.
A maid wouldn't be stupid enough to explain to Lu Bai that this kind of food could be eaten, since they were also popular snacks. In short, whatever the master said was the truth!
In the end, Lu Bai picked up the other bags and without exception, frowned.
"Who let you buy these things?"
Steward Wei immediately said, "Eldest Young Master …" "We didn't buy it. The young mistress bought it from the internet."
Lu Bai stood up. "Throw everything away for me. Don't let me see An Xia'er eating these things in the future."
"..." "Yes."
When Lu Bai left, his footsteps paused again. He turned around and said, "Prepare something edible and put it back in its original place."
Even though he was against her having snacks, he couldn't starve her …
Steward Wei nodded behind his back, "Yes, Eldest Young Master."
After Lu Bai left, Butler Wei sighed. Young madam, don't blame them for this. Eldest Young Master doesn't approve of your snacks!
On the same day, Steward Wei immediately ordered his servants to move all the snacks from the ingredients storage and An Xia'er. He then put in some bread made by the confectioners from Jiulong Prefecture as well as some healthy food and pure milk.
That night, when Anxia came out in the middle of the night to search for snacks to eat, she opened the fridge of the food store.
Her snacks were gone.
It was filled with fresh bread.
"…"
She was silent for a moment.
In the end, he said nothing and quietly went back to his bedroom to sleep.
