After Ji Yunxi and the others were seated, Gu Feifei directly sat opposite Ji Yunxi. She pushed several dishes on the table towards her and said, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I made a few of my specialties. Try them and see if they suit your taste."
Ji Yunxi was slightly surprised by her excessive enthusiasm and felt a bit strange inside.
She didn't think that Gu Feifei would suddenly become polite. As the saying goes, one who shows excessive kindness without a cause is either up to no good or has ulterior motives.
Even Li Jiuge beside her sensed something amiss and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Gu Feifei. "The food you made... looks quite good. I didn't expect that Miss Gu, who seems to be so delicate and never touches the kitchen water, can cook so well."
Gu Feifei received her gaze and pretended not to notice her sarcasm. She looked back generously with a smiling face. "There are many things you haven't expected. Oh, if you think it's good, you should eat more!"
Ji Yunyi had long sensed the strange atmosphere in the air. Considering what Gu Feifei had done before, even if his sister didn't plan to hold a grudge, he himself didn't say he would just let it go.
He secretly observed the undercurrents among the three and said with a smile, deliberately stirring up trouble. "Oh, the sun is rising from the west today. I didn't expect to be able to eat the food cooked by Miss Gu. I'm really lucky!"
Gu Yiping, no matter how slow he was, could hear something wrong. He secretly clenched his fist and fought back for his sister.
Looking at Ji Yunyi, he pretended to joke. "Second Young Master Ji, it seems that the food my sister made doesn't suit your taste?"
Ji Yunyi put his hands up in a surrender gesture. "No, I didn't say that. Don't tease me like this. If your sister gets angry, I can't bear the consequences."
The group of people talked back and forth. They all seemed polite, but only Gu An didn't notice anything strange. He even thought that it was really harmonious for them to sit together chatting and laughing.
"It's really great to see everyone sitting together happily. It's the best thing in these days."
Li Jiuge whispered to Ji Yunxi secretly. "I feel like Gu Feifei has ill intentions. There might be something wrong with this food. How about I taste it for you first?"
Ji Yunyi secretly hit her. "If you think there's something wrong, don't eat it randomly!"
Li Jiuge casually rubbed the back of her hand that was hit. "But it's not appropriate not to eat, right? Look at Gu An's expression!"
Ji Yunxi looked at the dishes on the table and sniffed slightly. "Don't worry. It's okay. I know what I'm doing."
She glanced at Gu Feifei imperceptibly and showed no intention of eating at all.
Seeing that she didn't move, Gu Feifei looked a bit anxious on the surface. "Why are you looking at me like this? I sincerely want to apologize to you. Do you still think I poisoned the food?"
Ji Yunxi didn't say a word. She looked at her calmly, silently admitting. "I didn't say that."
Seeing that Ji Yunxi didn't appreciate her efforts, Gu Feifei was even more angry. She had worked hard to cook a table of dishes, but was suspected of poisoning.
She frowned and looked unhappy. She picked up the chopsticks and put some dishes into Gu Yiping's and Gu An's bowls. "Miss Ji is afraid that I put drugs in the food. You two eat first and see."
Gu Yiping looked at the dishes and then at Ji Yunxi. He quickly picked up the chopsticks to smooth things over. "Then I'll try the food Feifei made first. Feifei, don't mind. Miss Ji probably doesn't mean that... Mmm! It tastes really good! I'm really lucky to be your brother."
Gu Yiping deliberately exaggerated to ease the tense atmosphere.
Li Jiuge rolled her eyes in her heart. Eating the food she made is being lucky? She really thinks she's a top chef!
Ji Yunyi didn't say a word. Gu Yiping was a brother, and he was too. Naturally, he knew it wasn't the time to fan the flames.
After seeing Gu Yiping eat, Ji Yunxi slowly picked up the chopsticks and didn't say anything more. However, the atmosphere at the dinner table still fell into an indescribable embarrassment.
Looking at the table full of dishes and the somewhat wronged Gu Feifei, Gu Yiping got angrier and angrier. His face was so gloomy that it seemed to drip water.
Anyway, Gu Feifei was his younger sister. She was a bit domineering and outspoken at ordinary times, but she had never harmed anyone. It wasn't a big mistake. Ji Yunxi's guarding against her like this was really impolite.
Moreover, she had already apologized and even cooked the dishes herself. It was really full of sincerity. Ji Yunxi's actions were really going too far.
Gu Yiping glanced at Ji Yunxi. He opened his mouth but still held back. Now that the relationship between the two had finally improved a bit, he'd better not add more contradictions.
Among the group of people, probably only Gu An was happily eating. He was still afraid that this meal would end unpleasantly just now. Now a stone in his heart finally dropped.
After seeing Ji Yunxi eat, Gu Feifei didn't say a word either. She lowered her head and looked at the rice in her bowl. She picked up a few mouthfuls absent - mindedly and only picked the dishes in front of her several times in a row.
Gu Yiping thought she was too nervous. He patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile in a low voice. "Miss Ji is magnanimous and won't hold a grudge anymore. Don't worry. She's not a narrow - minded person."
Gu Feifei smiled slightly. "Yes, I know."
Seeing the siblings whispering, Gu An privately wanted to praise his adopted daughter too. "Feifei, your cooking skills are really getting better and better."
Seeing this, Ji Yunxi also looked up and smiled politely. "Miss Gu has good cooking skills."
Gu Feifei seemed a bit embarrassed, smiling faintly. "I'm glad you like it."
The atmosphere cooled down again. Gu An felt it was a bit strange. Whether it was Ji Yunxi or Gu Yunxi, they were both gentle - tempered people. Logically speaking, since Feifei had apologized, Ji Yunxi shouldn't be so cold.
Was it because she was in a bad mood these days? Gu An was full of doubts and frowned slightly.
With some probing, Gu An reached out to put some dishes into Ji Yunxi's bowl. "Try this. It tastes really good."
Ji Yunyi nodded, pursed his lips and smiled. He also reached out to put some dishes into Li Jiuge's bowl. "Didn't you say you were hungry just now? Eat more!"
Li Jiuge was dissatisfied with Gu Feifei's expression. She thought she was pretending. Even Ji Yunyi, who was putting dishes into her bowl, seemed unpleasant to her. She casually poked the dishes in the bowl with her chopsticks and said sarcastically. "Miss Gu rarely cooks. If you like it, eat it yourself. Don't put it in my bowl."
Hearing this, Gu Yiping's face became even uglier. He looked at Li Jiuge with a threatening look in his eyes.
Li Jiuge received his gaze and stared back at him without any fear.
Ji Yunyi glanced at Gu Yiping with a threatening look in his eyes.
Ji Yunyi knew that Li Jiuge held a grudge against Gu Feifei. He picked up a mouthful of food and said calmly. "If you're full, don't eat anymore. Don't overeat."
Li Jiuge gave a soft snort.
