Chapter 252: Chapter 6: Twin Sisters (6)

Couldn’t go to school, Li Xiangning was stuck at home for two days and just couldn’t stand it anymore, staying home was just too boring.

Jiang Xiaodie thought about it, and took Li Xiangning out shopping, she couldn’t possibly take the child to play mahjong or anything like that, could she?

After shopping, she even took Li Xiangning to get a new hairstyle and a spa treatment, before they finally went home.

Li Xiangning remembered how in the past, just being able to eat enough was already a luxury, and most of the clothes she wore were hand-me-downs from relatives.

How could it be like today, freely buying things, freely eating and drinking, freely doing all kinds of things.

Slowly, Li Xiangning got immersed in the thrill of shopping, after all, women do love beauty.

Jiang Xiaodie was happy to see this, after all, what’s wrong with her daughter buying some things?

Besides, for young girls, it’s all about dressing themselves up nicely, causing trouble should be the boys’ job.

The Jiang family was also well-off, Jiang Xiaodie married Li Zhu, not only with a hefty dowry, but Li Zhu also gave her quite a bit of pocket money.

She had billions at her disposal, Li Zhu often joked that she was a little rich lady.

But fortunately, Jiang Xiaodie was still rational and knew that giving Li Xiangning lots of money all at once wasn’t appropriate.

But she still gave Li Xiangning a bank card with ten million on it.

After staying with the Li Family for some time, Li Xiangning’s complexion had improved a lot, even her hair, thanks to Jiang Xiaodie, was now sleek and black.

Her skin was also slightly fairer.

But even so, when Li Xiangning went out, she still wasn’t that eye-catching.

Li Xiangning went to the mall, went on a shopping spree, buying some small jewelry, cosmetics, clothes, shoes, and so on.

Li Xiangning was driven by a chauffeur; she didn’t know how to drive herself, so after the people from the mall loaded the stuff into the car, she went alone into a gourmet restaurant.

The restaurant was very popular.

It’s said that even with the same ingredients as outside, they could make something new, with a perfect balance of color, aroma, and taste.

Li Xiangning had long wanted to come, but Jiang Xiaodie had always told her to maintain her figure, maintain her figure, never bringing her here, so she had no choice.

Today, going out alone, she could finally indulge, haha.

Spicy mantis shrimp, pickled fish, twice-cooked pork, spicy beef soup, cold black fungus salad, seaweed stewed ribs, oil-burst lobster, braised chicken wings, she even ordered a cup of kumquat lemon tea, and a bowl of rice, Li Xiangning could almost feel herself drooling.

Even though she was dining alone, ordering so much food still attracted some attention.

However, Li Xiangning didn’t notice those looks; at this moment, she was already enchanted by the aroma of the delicacies before her.

She quickly picked up the chopsticks and began eating.

Mmm mmm, delicious, really delicious, in the Li Family, she never ate anything so tasty, the Li Family being a family of doctors, paid a lot of attention to health, and the food was rather plain. Nothing like the food here; it was amazing.

Li Xiangning ate so quickly that the four dishes that had come out were gone in no time.

When the waiter brought the pickled fish, Li Xiangning finally slowed down, after all, it was a two-pound fish.

While she was devouring it, someone nearby suddenly chuckled softly.

Li Xiangning looked up in surprise, and at that moment, the fish in her mouth went down the wrong way, making her feel uncomfortable.

Only after a while did Li Xiangning calm down from her panic.

“Brother Tao, why are you here?”

Li Xiangning’s voice was barely audible, her face flushed, looking very shy.

Chu Tao sat down across from Li Xiangning, “I just finished a meal with someone here, saw you after I came down, so I came over to say hi. Is the food good?”

Li Xiangning nodded vigorously, “It’s delicious.”

Chu Tao looked into Li Xiangning’s bright eyes, feeling a warm sensation flowing inside.

Seeing her gobble down food was actually not a pretty sight, but seeing her satisfied expression inexplicably made him want to come over.

This girl is truly cute.

Soon, the waiter brought out all the dishes.

“Eat more if you like it. How did you get here? Do you want Brother Tao to take you back?”

Li Xiangning’s eyes lit up, “Sure, sure, I came here alone. Brother Tao, do you want to try the mantis shrimp, it’s super delicious.”

Li Xiangning took a mantis shrimp, but her peeling skills were lacking, and soon, she had only managed to extract bits of meat from it.

Li Xiangning felt a bit embarrassed and didn’t dare to offer the meat to Chu Tao.

Chu Tao, however, smiled, took a piece of the broken shrimp meat from her hand, ate it, and nodded in praise of its taste.

Chu Tao then picked up a mantis shrimp and began peeling it.

Soon, a whole piece of shrimp meat appeared, much to Li Xiangning’s amazement.

Chu Tao placed the meat into Li Xiangning’s bowl.

After that, Chu Tao kept peeling shrimp for Li Xiangning, and she ate happily, feeling a bit dizzy with joy.

Once Li Xiangning was almost done, she awkwardly realized she was stuffed and couldn’t stand up.

She was wearing a rather tight-fitting dress, and now her little tummy was sticking out.

Before her prince charming, this was a bit embarrassing.

However, Chu Tao felt more and more that Li Xiangning was carefree, genuine, and not pretentious.

Sitting in Chu Tao’s car, Li Xiangning could hardly believe it.

She didn’t think that Chu Tao’s behavior earlier was just the concern of a brother-in-law for his sister-in-law.

She felt that Chu Tao looked at her differently.

She had heard that in high society, many families arrange marriages, so did her sister and Brother Tao also have an arranged marriage?

Her sister was always in a cold lab and hardly ever seemed to date Brother Tao, so did this mean there was no real affection between her sister and Brother Tao?

If that were the case, as a Li family member, could she possibly have a chance to marry Brother Tao?

The more Li Xiangning thought about it, the more she felt she had a chance.

All the way, Li Xiangning talked in quick, witty bursts, sharing many interesting stories.

As the eldest son of the Chu family, Chu Tao truly hadn’t heard of those countryside anecdotes.

Chu Tao knew what Li Xiangning had been through, yet this naive and pure girl, despite enduring hardships in that small village, still remembered some amusing little stories about life.

This girl was indeed sunny and strong.

After dropping Li Xiangning off, Chu Tao also returned.

However, once someone piques your interest, and you start to feel a fondness for them, a second and third meeting is inevitable.

Although Li Shuning was in the office, she was always keeping an eye on Li Xiangning’s activities.

Knowing that Li Xiangning hadn’t caused any trouble lately and instead became more ladylike, she laughed inexplicably, thinking it might have started, right?
