Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Husband Sings, Wife Follows - Any Objections?

In the dining room, everyone had arrived, just enough to fill a circle of seats.

Mo Qian made porridge, Ji Wei boiled eggs, and there was also a vegetable salad and sandwiches.

Although it was a simple breakfast, it looked rather abundant.

Xi Nanfeng and Ye Cheng dived in without hesitation, burying their heads and eating. To be able to taste Mo Qian’s porridge—it’s a rare treat, so savor it while it lasts.

After finishing his big bowl of porridge, Xi Nanfeng remembered something and asked, "Old Mo, you mentioned earlier that some woman was coming. Were you referring to Little Duoduo?"

"Mm, she’s Ji Wei’s best friend."

Mo Qian was peeling an egg, his long fingers holding the top while the other hand skillfully removed the shell layer by layer with elegant precision.

Xi Nanfeng glanced at Xia Duoduo, who was sipping on just half a bowl of porridge beside him, and muttered, "Little Duoduo is Old Ye’s person. You’re just making me happy for nothing, aren’t you?"

Mo Qian offered the perfectly peeled egg to Ji Wei’s lips and, in a calm voice, said, "She’s just an artist under Ye Cheng. If you want to pursue her, there’s still a chance."

With so many people watching, Mo Qian showed no hesitation in feeding her. Ji Wei originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing the man’s indulgent expression, she gave up.

She lowered her head and took a small bite of the egg. noveldrama

Ji Wei wasn’t particularly fond of eggs, but for some reason, this bite tasted especially good.

"Forget it, I think those two..."

Xi Nanfeng’s gaze flitted back and forth between Xia Duoduo and Ye Cheng, his face full of hesitation before he finally sighed and shook his head. "In any case, there’s no chance for me, is there? All of you are coupling off while I’m the one left as a lonely single dog. Ugh..."

Ye Cheng had long since built immunity against Xi Nanfeng’s complaints and remained completely indifferent.

But Xia Duoduo nearly choked upon hearing the phrase "coupling off."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

She covered her mouth, coughing violently.

"Duoduo, are you okay?" Ji Wei hurriedly handed her a glass of water.

Xia Duoduo drank several gulps before finally recovering. She quickly cast a glance at Ye Cheng, who remained calm and focused on eating, and said, "I’m done. You all take your time."

Saying that, she began to stand up.

"You’ve only had half a bowl of porridge. Isn’t that a bit too little?" Ji Wei couldn’t help but speak up.

Just as Xia Duoduo was about to respond, Ye Cheng nonchalantly remarked, "Artists need to manage their figures and shouldn’t eat too much."

With that, Ye Cheng also put down his bowl and chopsticks. "I’m full. You guys enjoy."

Before anyone could react, Ye Cheng had already strode out of the room.

Ji Wei hadn’t expected Ye Cheng to be so strict with the artists under him and was momentarily stunned.

Xia Duoduo suddenly stood up. "I think the ocean view outside looks great. I’ll go take a look first. You all keep eating, okay?"

With those words, she dashed out in a flash.

Feeling bitter over being single, Xi Nanfeng channeled his frustration into eating, finishing off the remaining porridge, two eggs, and a sandwich.

In the end, when he truly couldn’t eat another bite, he slumped back in his chair and sighed, "Old Mo, why is it that I just can’t find a girlfriend? Everyone else is pairing up, and I’m the only one left behind."

Ji Wei looked puzzled. "How has Mr. Ye paired up with anyone?"

"Your best friend is an artist under Ye Cheng. They see each other every day. It’s easy for feelings to develop over time."

Could that be possible?

Mo Qian, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly turned to twist the knife. "Old Xi, you can’t blame women for not liking you. Honestly, looking at the way you are, if I were a woman, I wouldn’t like you either."

"Hey, I’m the second son of the Xi Family! Money isn’t an issue. Where have all those gold-digging women gone? Can’t they see a real live eligible bachelor standing right here?" Xi Nanfeng protested indignantly.

"In an era that values looks, no amount of money will help," Mo Qian jabbed again.

"Sure, I might be a little rugged, but I’ve got a tender heart, and I’m passionate and devoted. I’d definitely be a loving husband. Don’t look down on me!"

Ji Wei, looking at Xi Nanfeng—who despite being from a wealthy family, insisted on presenting himself as a rough-and-tumble type—couldn’t help but chuckle. "Mm, you’re actually not bad. If you shave your beard a bit and brighten up your complexion, you might have a bit of that carefree charm."

Xi Nanfeng frowned. "Why do I get the feeling that after spending so much time with Old Mo, your knack for roasting people has improved?"

Mo Qian coolly replied, "Husband and wife are of one mind. Got an issue with that?"
