Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

"Eat your food, that won't shut you up," Xia Zhishu retorted to Xia Rongliu. "If you were cooking, your food probably wouldn't be much better."

Xia Rongliu retorted, "Who said that?! My cooking is definitely delicious!"

Master Zhang chuckled and said, "You might have inherited your cooking skills from your father. You'll be just as bad, and you'll be ruined as soon as you start cooking."

Xia Rongliu glared fiercely at Master Zhang. "Master Zhang, I was just praising you. How could you curse me like that?"

Xia Rongliu really wasn't very confident about cooking. In her previous life, she was a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger, and she hadn't cooked much since coming here in this life.

I don't know how I'll cook, but it seems pretty simple. Her mother is such a good cook, so her skills must be pretty good too.

Master Zhang laughed heartily, "Curse you? Why would I need to curse you? Don't you think so, Xia Zhanxin?"

Xia Zhanxin said with a serious expression, "My sister doesn't need to cook, and no one is allowed to make her cook from now on."

The scene from that day was still vivid in her mind. From that day on, Xia Zhanxin had already designated the kitchen as an extremely dangerous place.

Master Zhang and Xia Zhishu were taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. Xia Zhishu did not deny it; his daughter deserved the best.

Master Zhang was different. He half-jokingly said, "What woman in the world doesn't know how to cook after getting married? She should at least know how to cook one or two dishes."

Xia Zhanxin didn't rush to deny it. She calmly and seriously said, "Then you shouldn't get married, sister. I can support you for the rest of your life."

Xia Zhishu and Zhang Fuzi instinctively wanted to laugh at Xia Zhanxin's momentary naiveté, but Xia Zhanxin's serious expression made them realize that she was serious.

Xia Rongliu was also stunned. Getting married? She hadn't really thought about this question yet. But then she thought that getting married was too early. She wasn't in a hurry. If she met someone like this, she would cherish it. Even if she didn't, living a life like this would be quite comfortable and happy.

Xia Zhishu was naturally somewhat puzzled and surprised. "A woman who doesn't get married will be criticized for her whole life. Although Yinyin is my daughter and I will be somewhat biased, sometimes the ridicule of others is enough to kill a person."

Xia Zhanxin shook her head. "I'm serious. I can support my sister for the rest of my life. I promise to be good to her for the rest of my life!"

"Hahaha..." Xia Rongliu couldn't help but laugh out loud. How adorable this little brother was.

"Alright, you're still a child yourself, how can you support me? Can you even support yourself?" Xia Rongliu said.

She has some skills she learned in her past life, so she can support herself even if she has to do it all in the future. But what about Xia Zhanxin? She doesn't know any of them. It's not certain who will support whom in the future.

Xia Zhanxin shut his mouth. He really didn't know anything right now. He couldn't protect Xia Rongliu, and he couldn't raise Xia Rongliu. So what was the future?

After Xia Rongliu finished speaking, she began to realize what she was good at. She started to think about what kind of things Xia Zhanxin was suited for. Sometimes she could teach him other things, and Xia Zhanxin learned them very quickly.

Xia Rongliu was slightly troubled. Other people's children were afraid of not learning well and tried their best to learn everything, but Xia Zhanxin had an indifferent attitude. Anyway, he was very good at learning casually.

Is this what they call a gifted genius? Xia Rongliu shook her head, looked at Xia Zhanxin's excessively handsome face, and sighed.

This is what they mean by "no comparison, no harm."

During the rest period after dinner, Xia Zhanxin ignored Xia Rongliu again. Xia Rongliu got bored of coaxing her for a long time, so she simply left Xia Zhanxin there and went to play with Bai Mingyu and Sun Zhu.

Inside the pavilion, Sun Zhu looked at Xia Rongliu running over and subconsciously glanced behind her. "Huh? Where's Xia Zhanxin? Haven't they made up yet?"

Xia Rongliu touched her nose and sat down directly in front of them. "He's ignoring me. He said something during lunch and then stopped talking."

"What did you do to make Xia Zhan so resentful? Do you know how painful it was for me to sit in front of him today?" Sun Zhu said casually.

Xia Rongliu nodded, after all, she was also in pain right now.

“He ignores me when I talk to him, and he’s always like this when I’m angry. Before, I could coax him and he would be fine, but this time I feel like I can’t coax him.” Xia Rongliu picked up a ladder from the table and put it in her mouth.

Sun Zhu was shocked. This wicked woman, she just gave up trying to coax him when he couldn't win her over. What a scumbag!

Xia Rongliu looked at Sun Zhu's expression as if she were some heinous criminal. Although she also felt guilty, she thought it was really too much.

"Sun Zhu, I advise you to take that half-dead look off your face now," Xia Rongliu warned Sun Zhu. She was already annoyed, and seeing Sun Zhu's expression only made her more annoyed.

Sun Zhu pouted, "You heartless woman, you abandoned Xia Zhanxin and came here without trying to coax her. I guess you'll be even less able to coax her now."

Xia Rongliu said helplessly, "Go ahead and coax me, I need to rest."

Bai Mingyu frowned, realizing that Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin were angry. He recalled asking this morning, "Is it because of me?"

Xia Rongliu froze, but didn't lie. She nodded and said, "You're only partly to blame. It was all my own doing, and it has little to do with you."

Bai Mingyu was relieved, as long as it wasn't a big deal. He was still a little afraid that Xia Rongliu would blame him, but now it seemed that Xia Rongliu would never do that.

"Alright, you two can just leave it at that. It'll be fine in no time." Sun Zhu, sitting in front of them, didn't she understand? Even the worst situation would be resolved by the next day.

Bai Mingyu nodded in agreement. Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin's relationship was more than just a superficial one; they seemed to be inseparable.

He and Bai Mingxuan also have a good relationship. They sometimes argue, but it's definitely not the kind of atmosphere Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin have. Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin's relationship is obviously... more delicate.

"Let's not talk about that. Aren't we going to have art and outdoor activities in a few weeks?" Sun Zhu stared at Xia Rongliu with shining eyes. "You're Master Xia's daughter, you must know, right?"

Xia Rongliu leaned back slightly. "How would I know? I've never heard Dad mention it. Where did you get this information from?"

"No?" Sun Zhu was somewhat disappointed. If Xia Rongliu didn't know, then it was probably not true.

"No, where did you hear that gossip? If you want to do anything, let's go together during the holidays," Xia Rongliu said.

Sun Zhu said dejectedly, "So what? Whether I can go out to play during the holidays depends on my sister's mood. If she's in a good mood, I can go out; if she's in a bad mood, I have to stay at home." He let her vent from time to time.

Xia Rongliu clicked her tongue and said, "You're really pitiful. You have to depend on your sister's mood."

Sun Zhu snorted, "Do you think every older sister is like you? Treating Xia Zhanxin like she's made of glass, afraid of dropping her or melting her."

"No, I don't think so," Xia Rongliu thought carefully.

“Of course not, the roles are reversed now,” Sun Zhu said immediately.

Xia Rongliu: ...Thank you, I feel like I've been subtly insulted.
