263: Born With Good Looks

Born With Good Looks

Fu Qingxuan had not had dinner. He headed straight to the estate after flying back from Milan without the knowledge that Uncle Chen and his wife took time off and went home. He was dying from hunger. 2

Yet, there was a strong fragrance coming from Shen Xi's self-heating hotpot and it was divine! With his tummy rumbling, he licked his lips and wanted to taste whatever he was smelling. 

What a mean girl. He was being polite but she actually stopped asking him. 

Unable to restrain himself any longer, Fu Qingxuan appeared calm as he walked gallantly into the kitchen for a cup of water. However, he felt hungry after finishing the glass. 

In front of the mean girl was a packet of rice and a dish with mouth-watering steaming red oil on it. He could tell by the smell that it was delicious and it was a hotpot for sure. 

Shen Xi was enjoying her meal when she heard the sound of a tummy rumbling behind her. She pretended not to hear or notice the eager but whinging look on his face. 

It smelled great. 

After a day of horrible in-flight food, hotpot was a delectable dish. 

Fu Qingxuan took another gulp of water but finally broke his silence. "What are you eating?" 

"Self-heating hotpot." Shen Xi gave a straight answer for a change. 

Looking rather intrigued, Fu Qingxuan walked over to take a look. "What kind of treasure is this? I've never seen this before." 

Shen Xi gave him a detailed explanation. "This uses the heating principle when quicklime meets water to heat up the food. It's a simple and convenient fast food. It's a new product that isn't in the market yet." 

Fu Qingxuan was drooling as she earnestly explained how the ingredients were processed, how tasty the soup stock was, and its mechanism, but she would not let him have a taste. 

Shen Xi was deliberately teasing him. She had asked him, but he said himself he did not want one. Looking at him, she asked, "Young Master, do you have any more questions?" 

Fu Qingxuan stared at the hotpot with fervent eyes while taking an empty gulp. He cleared his throat and composed himself before saying, "No." 

Shen Xi could not hold back from laughing as she saw the look on his face. 

Fu Qingxuan begrudgingly took off. The d*mn meanie. He let her live in his house and stay in his sister's room. Yet, she would not even give him a bite!

Shen Xi finished her meal and threw away the trash before retrieving a few packets of self-heating hotpot from her room. She made her way to the study. 

Surprisingly, the door to the study was open. 

With downcast eyes, the young man sat up straight with an oxidized manuscript in front of him. When he put his mind to it, Fu Qingxuan could be charming and embody "brains were the new black" without showing any signs of immaturity. 

Sensing her presence, the young man spoke in a sexy and unbothered voice, "Can I help you?" 

"Nothing." Shen Xi looked at the young man and had to admit that the sons of the Fu family were born with good looks. She enquired with a soft voice, "Can I put the self-heating hotpot in the kitchen cabinet?" 

"Sure." As if lost in the book, Fu Qingxuan did not bother to lift his head. 

Shen Xi glanced around the study. There were several shelves filled with books and many of them were medical books. She quietly withdrew since she did not have the heart to bother him. 

As a matter of fact, she wanted to ask if he wanted to have some, but Fu Qingxuan probably was not hungry because he was invested in the book.
