Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingqiao lifted her head in surprise, her face adorned with tears like a pear blossom in the rain, evoking sympathy. She lightly opened her pearl lips and asked, "What’s the matter? Brother Rui is willing to accompany Lingling?"

Long Rui frowned his thick eyebrows and said heartily, "We’ve grown up together since childhood. For the sake of this affection, I will drink two cups with you. Why not?"

Lingling nodded in delight, her tears flowing with joy, "Brother Rui, you’re always so good to Lingling."

Long Rui: "For the sake of our growing up together, if I am not good to you, to whom would I be good?"

So, the two of them sat back beside the table and began to eat because after a period of time, all the dishes on the table had gone cold.

Long Rui asked the steward to serve them a fresh set of dishes.

Looking at the steaming food, Gu Lingqiao seemed very touched. Holding chopsticks in her hand, she looked at the dishes on the table and said, "Brother Rui, who would have thought that after so many years, you still remember what Lingling loves to eat!"

On the table was a pot of duck heads, steaming and exuding a delicious aroma.

Although Gu Lingqiao is Miss of the Wealthy Family, she loved eating duck heads when she was little. Long Rui, who grew up with her, naturally knew this and specifically instructed the steward to prepare a pot for her.

"Eat, you little glutton." Long Rui pick up a duck head with his chopsticks, placed it in Gu Lingqiao’s bowl, and said dotingly.

At the moment he lowered his head, he didn’t notice the trace of disdain that flashed across Gu Lingqiao’s face.

What duck head, it’s clearly something eaten by lower-class people. As a daughter of a wealthy family, she wouldn’t deign to eat it. Gu Lingqiao felt utterly disgusted, unable to understand why anyone would like such a thing. Doesn’t it feel gross?

But in the blink of an eye, Long Rui raised his head again, looking at her with bright, jet-like eyes.

The smile on Gu Lingqiao’s face stiffened for a moment. She quickly lowered her head, using the bangs on her forehead to cover her unnatural expression.

Originally intending to pretend she didn’t care and eat something else, who would have thought that Long Rui would keep serving her more duck heads, filling her bowl entirely without a trace of space.

Fine, now she had no choice but to eat. Gu Lingqiao, suppressing her revulsion, ate one, nearly spitting it out especially when she reached the brain matter.

But remembering that Long Rui was still eyeing her from the side, she forced herself to suppress it.

Giving up halfway is not her style.

Long Rui, with a hint of laughter in his voice, asked, "Lingling, how is it? Is it tasty? Does it still taste like it did when we were young?"

Gu Lingqiao’s smile was as radiant as a flower. She nodded against her conscience and said with ulterior intent, "Yes, it’s quite good. It still tastes like when we were young. Brother Rui still cares about Lingling. At home now, my parents won’t let me eat this stuff anymore, saying it’s dirty and damages the image of a proper lady."

She said this deliberately so that Long Rui wouldn’t give her duck heads anymore.

Who knew, the always astute Long Rui seemed not to understand and said, "Lingling, don’t worry. In the future, you can eat them every day at my place. Soon, I’ll have the steward prepare one for you each day."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingqiao felt like dying inside. Wasn’t this making things worse?

She originally thought enduring this meal would be enough, but now she had brought it upon herself, and there would be duck heads every day.

She could even imagine a large group of duck heads rushing towards her.

However, thinking again, considering Long Rui’s busy work schedule, it’s not like he could accompany her for every meal. At that time, she could just not eat them and secretly throw them away.

The dream is beautiful, but reality is harsh.

Gu Lingqiao never imagined that the steward would prepare only one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup daily.
