"Too hungry?" He didn't believe her and stared at her sharply. "I think you don't want to serve me!"
She lowered her head and blinked. As long as you know yourself.
But she didn't want to say this at this moment. Otherwise, this irritable man would definitely get angry.
She was silent and didn't say anything. She continued to eat.
"The lessons you missed these two days, you must catch up after you recover, understand?" He spoke again, his tone full of force.
The lessons he was referring to were the various etiquette that he had wanted her to learn from the start, including the tea ceremony, flower arrangement, posture, and so on.
After all, the Huangfu family was such a powerful and wealthy family. He could marry any woman he wanted now, but to bring this woman back to the Huangfu family's ancestral home, she needed to be trained.
Tang Xiaowei did not look at him. Because she was eating, she could not speak clearly. "Let's talk about it after meeting my parents tomorrow."
She did not want to go against him now.
Otherwise, if he suddenly went back on his word and did not bring her out tomorrow, it would not be good.
She could not leave the Huangfu family before she was injured, and now that she was injured, she still could not leave. Therefore, she could only pretend that she was willing to listen to him. After she left tomorrow, she would think of a way to completely leave this neurotic man.
"You better not do anything stupid. If you make me angry again, I will never let you off as easily as I did today!" He threatened in a deep voice, his face cold.
That time, she kicked him there. Afterwards, he had almost wanted to kill her.
But now, he couldn't help but let her go. This was something that had never happened before. In the past, no one who made him angry had ever escaped his punishment. But this time, he was soft-hearted towards her.
He thought that maybe it was because he wanted to marry her. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this.
But, he only hoped that this soft-hearted decision was the last time he would be merciful to her.
If she dared to make him angry again in the future, he would definitely not let her go easily.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything." Tang Xiaowei pretended to be indifferent and then reminded him, "Aren't you hungry? Why are you talking and not eating?"
"Are you concerned about me?" His expression changed slightly, and his gaze was a little strange.
Tang Xiaowei quickly scooped some rice into her mouth and then picked up the cup to drink water. After she finished drinking, she answered lazily, "No."
Huangfu Qiye's face was frighteningly dark because of this sentence, and his entire body was filled with a chill.
Tang Xiaowei hurriedly stood up and frowned in distress. "I've already eaten, but my leg is very painful. I'm afraid I can't continue to have dinner with you. You can eat alone. I'm going back to my room to rest."
Huangfu Qiye looked at her coldly and didn't say anything.
He had just said so much to her, but she was playing Tai Chi with him. She didn't agree to anything, nor did she refuse.
Now, he hadn't even started dinner, but she said she had finished eating.
This time, Tang Xiaowei didn't leave on her own like before because she knew that if Huangfu Qiye didn't say anything, she would be caught by the maid.
"Mr. Huangfu, can I go back to my room now?" In order to leave tomorrow, she no longer looked at him fiercely, but let herself show a brilliant smile.
Huangfu Qiye felt that her smile was too dazzling.
It was obvious to him that she was like this because she could go out tomorrow. He did not feel happy at all, and his mood was difficult to suppress.
He said coldly, "If you want to leave, then leave. Don't keep swaying in front of my eyes!"
He had agreed, even though he agreed in a very unpleasant way.
Tang Xiaowei put away her smile, waved at him, and then turned around to leave.
A few minutes later, she had returned to the guest room that she had stayed in previously.
Huangfu Qiye did not come to make things difficult for her the entire night. She thought that she could leave tomorrow, so she went to bed very early to rest.
The next day.
In the early morning, Tang Xiaowei woke up.
The sky was already bright outside. After washing up, she realized that her leg was no longer as painful as it was yesterday. She pushed the door open and prepared to go out.
She would be able to see her parents in a while. She had to ask her parents clearly and also have a discussion with them.
Even if she owed Huangfu Qiye a heart, she would think of a way to repay him.
She would never agree to use her life to repay such a debt.
Just as she pushed the door open, she saw the two maids from before and a male doctor in a white coat standing outside.
"Miss Tang, young master asked me to apply medicine on your leg," the doctor said respectfully.
The two maids beside her also nodded, indicating that this was really the order of their young master.
Although Tang Xiaowei really wanted to leave this place, she knew that she needed to apply medicine on her leg, and she didn't want her leg to become crippled. So she nodded and agreed, asking the doctor to enter and apply medicine on her leg.
Half an hour later, the medicine was done. The two maids helped her downstairs and went into the restaurant.
In the dining room, a handsome man was sitting on a chair, reading a newspaper. In front of him was a cup of steaming tea.
Tang Xiaowei had just walked in, and he knew she was here without even raising his head. He said coldly, "I've already eaten breakfast, and I've been waiting here for more than half an hour. Are you a pig? Why did you get up so late?"
Tang Xiaowei was stunned, and then she felt that something was wrong. He actually called her a pig.
She suddenly felt extremely angry.
But then she thought that if she quarreled with him, he might suddenly say that he was unwilling to go out, and then her plan to escape from him would be ruined.
She could only suppress her anger and harrumph with a fake smile, "Yes, I'm a pig. Then, do you want to marry a pig?"
"Pigs are easy to raise. If it's a pig like you, it's not bad to marry one." His expression softened a little, and he did not reject her and let out a low laugh.
Tang Xiaowei had just sat down. When she heard this, she did not know whether to laugh or be angry. Her expression was extremely conflicted, but she held it in and did not let him see it.
At this time, the maid just happened to bring her breakfast. It was a sandwich, fried eggs, and milk.
She was not used to it at all. She liked porridge, soy milk, and fried dough sticks. Noodles and rice noodles were fine too.
But she did not say anything. She ate the fried eggs and drank half of the milk before wiping her lips and hands. She said to the man opposite her, "I'm done eating. Let's go."
Huangfu Qiye had already put down the newspaper and was staring at her as she ate breakfast.
Seeing that she did not touch the sandwich and did not finish the milk, his expression changed slightly.
It turned out that she did not like to eat sandwiches, and milk did not seem to be her favorite either.
He had suddenly brought her to the Huangfu family because he wanted to marry her, but he did not fully understand her. It seemed that he had to get someone to gather information about her. In the future, when she married him, if she could not eat what she liked, she would become hungry and thin.
Even if he did not love her, Huangfu Qiye thought that she would be his woman in the future. As long as she was obedient, he would let her live very comfortably.
The young mistress of the Huangfu family was not just talking in empty words.
If he married her, he would naturally be able to give her the supreme status and enjoyment.
