Encountering You is My Honor

"That's okay, eat as much as you want." Gu Yuying's eyes twinkled with humor. He had seen girls with hearty appetites before; his sister was one of them.

So, he was neither bothered nor surprised by Luo Qingli's eating habits.

However, he had never seen a girl eat as quickly as her. Even his sister, despite her hearty appetite, still ate with some elegance.

As for his current wife, well, her table manners could have been better, but they weren't too terrible.

Honestly, he didn't prefer women who starved themselves to maintain a figure. While good looks did make a woman more attractive, health was far more important.

"Okay!" Luo Qingli decided that she ought to eat more ladylike when dining for the first time with another person. So, she slowed down...at least at first. But somewhere along the line, she found herself rebelling and eating at her usual pace again.

By the end of the meal, every plate on the table was empty. Most of the food, had ended up in Luo Qingli's stomach.

She knocked her head in frustration, full of regret.

The pitfall of good food – it could ruin a lifetime's reputation in a single seating!

She had completely lost her decorum in front of the handsome gentleman.

It really wasn't her fault; she wasn't usually this gluttonous. The food was just too irresistible, and she simply couldn't stop.

A subtle smile appeared on Gu Yuying's lips, which he quickly hid when Luo Qingli looked up at him. Maintaining his cool demeanor.

"Are you full now?" Every dish on the table was empty, so he was pretty sure Luo Qingli was sated.

But out of politeness, he asked anyway.

"Yes!" Luo Qingli nodded heavily. She wished the ground would swallow her up.

When she first ordered the dishes, she had said it was too much for two people to finish.

But now, she felt as if she were slapping herself in the face.

Who said anything about needing two people? It looked like she alone could easily finish all the dishes on the table.

"Let's go then! I'll take you home."

Gu Yuying stood up, walked over to Luo Qingli, and pulled out her chair for her after she stood up.

His gentlemanly manner earned him many praises in Luo Qingli's heart.

She pinched her own cheeks forcefully until she felt pain to make sure all of this is real.

This man really was her husband.

Luo Qingli made a resolution in her heart: she would work hard, strive to match his pace, and prove herself worthy of him.

In the car, Luo Qingli seemed to have something to say, but couldn't quite find the words.

Noticing her hesitation, Gu Yuying could no longer bear it and said, "Just say what you want to."

Twisting her fingers nervously, Luo Qingli shut her eyes and blurted out, "Uncle, can I take you to meet my parents?"

"Huh?" Gu Yuying didn't quite understand what Luo Qingli was saying.

Luo Qingli misinterpreted his bewilderment as rejection. She instantly deflated and mumbled, "Forget it if you don't want to."

"We should prepare some gifts if we're going to see your parents!" Gu Yuying realized that meeting her parents was appropriate.

He hadn't planned on doing so today but since she mentioned it, they might as well go.

"Hmm?" Luo Qingli was puzzled. Did he agree?

Instead of giving her a direct answer, Gu Yuying turned the car around. "Let's go buy some gifts first."

Finally, Luo Qingli understood. She stared at Gu Yuying in surprise and joy.
