The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

"You silly girl, why go to all this trouble when I have food right here?" Old Master Xiao pointed to the meal that the guard Xiao Fang was holding and said to Situ Xin.

Although Old Master Xiao told Situ Xin not to bother, his eyes were fixed on the bag in her hands.

Situ Xin saw every move Old Master Xiao made, especially how his eyes lingered on the bag she was holding, looking envious. Her smile deepened. However, she knew that now was not the time to call him out, as doing so would only anger the old man who cared so much about his pride that he might actually refuse to eat the meal she brought. She was very familiar with the temperament of such elderly men.

After all, both of the old men in her family were of the same temperament. "Grandpa Xiao, it’s not troublesome at all. Hurry up and eat while the food is still warm," Situ Xin said, while taking out the lunchbox from the bag. "Grandpa Xiao, I know you’re worried about Brother Muli. But while worry is worry, you cannot skip meals. If you fall sick when Brother Muli wakes up, he will be so anxious and blame himself."

With that, Situ Xin stuffed the lunchbox and chopsticks into Old Master Xiao’s hands, then placed the box containing the dishes on the chair.

Smelling the enticing aroma of the meal in front of him made Old Master Xiao, who initially had little appetite, suddenly feel hungry. After considering what Situ Xin had said, he stopped talking nonsense, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating heartily.

Watching Old Master Xiao diving into his meal, the guard Xiao Fang felt relieved. He cast a grateful look at Situ Xin; without her arriving tonight, he wouldn’t have known how to persuade Old Master Xiao to have dinner.

Only after eating a few bites did Old Master Xiao remember to ask Situ Xin, with a mouthful of food, "Xiao Xin, have you had dinner yet?"
