Wen Zhihan obviously didn’t believe Shao Cixin’s words.

The reason is simple: she is not a fool.

Shao Cixin also knew that this was too far-fetched, and Wen Zhihan would not believe it.

Her brain was still in the midst of a rapid storm.

Rebirth, an extremely unscientific thing.

If she said it, the reaction would be that the other party laughs it off at best. At worst, it is not being sent to the mental hospital by 110; it would be getting handed over to the state.

Shao Cixin would never say this even if she died.

Then how can she muddle around it…

The situation was urgent, the atmosphere was solemn, and she could feel that Wen Zhihan’s eyes were on her, with a hint of probing.

However, at this critical moment, she suddenly remembered the color scheme of the Wen family’s decorations, as well as the scene when she was talking to the Wen Xingyun couple just now.

The Wen family also chose a style and then chose the color of the furniture that matched the style.

For visual comfort, the color of the same types of doors was consistent, and there would be no abrupt color change.

When she was talking to Wen Xingyun just now, she happened to see Joanna come out of the toilet, and because she happened to see it, she knew what was the unusual color of the Wen family toilet door?

When Shao Cixin thought of this, she suddenly felt that God was helping her.

She was confident, and her smile was much more sincere.

“I was just joking with you,” she said, “your family’s toilet door is the same color, I just saw your mother come out of the toilet downstairs and remembered it.

“And your family’s second-floor toilet is at the end of the left, it’s not difficult to find at all.”

With a set of reasonable and well-founded reasons, she succeeded in persuading Wen Zhihan.

I found that I was overthinking it, and Wen Zhihan calmed down, smiled, and praised Shao Cixin: “Very observant.”

“Naturally.”

Shao Cixin unceremoniously accepted her praise and immediately began to boast:

“I’ve always been deeply hidden–occasionally I’ll show my hand.”

Wen Zhihan smiled gently and did not refute.

Shao Cixin leaned back in her chair and looked at the blue sky.

Now she has a sense of crisis in her heart.

Next time, she can’t be careless in front of Wen Zhihan!

The two sat quietly for a while.

The air was fresh, the sky was blue, and the wind was comfortable. Shao Cixin unconsciously closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed the time.

Soon, the housekeeper Aunt Dong came to find them.

“Miss, madam, lunch is ready.”

Wen Zhihan got up and stretched out her hand to Shao Cixin, her voice very gentle: “Let’s go, madam.”

Shao Cixin opened one eye and looked at her.

After a while, she put her hand over it and was obediently pulled up.

Shao Cixin naturally sat next to Wen Zhihan.

She behaved extraordinarily well and was extraordinarily likable.

No matter what Wen Xingyun and Joanna gave her to eat, she would reach out her bowl enthusiastically, eat with a smile, and then sincerely compliment them.

Wen Xingyun and Joanna were so flattered that they gave her even more food.

“I heard that you actors have a tough time shooting every day. Come on, eat more.” Wen Xingyun put another piece of meat in her bowl.

“Baby, you’re too thin. Eat more and build up your body.” Joanna spoke fluent Mandarin and also gave her a piece of meat.

Shao Cixin accepted them one by one, with a smile on her face, making her seem especially approachable.

Wen Zhihan sat next to her and watched her eat like a starving person.

As someone who had eaten with her and knew her appetite, Wen Zhihan felt a sense of constraint and helplessness.

As her legal wife, Wen Zhihan calmly said, “Dad, Mom, you’ve given her too much. Cixin can’t finish it all.”

Shao Cixin turned to look at the person next to her.

Wen Zhihan said softly, “Let her eat slowly.”

Shao Cixin felt even more touched by her consideration.

Wen Xingyun and Joanna felt that their child made sense, and they truly stopped heaping food on her plate—at least for the time being.

Shao Cixin was worried they would feel awkward, so she quickly complimented them: “The food you two made is really delicious, even more delicious than what those chefs make!”

Everyone likes to be recognized for their efforts, and Wen Xingyun and his wife are no exception.

The two of them were so happy to be complimented.

After all, what parent doesn’t like to see their child enjoy eating?

Wen Yu sat across from her, looking at the smiling Shao Cixin, and her expression softened.

Shao Cixin was still the same, always sweet and cheerful in front of her parents, and extremely likable.

In her previous life, Shao Cixin was also like this in front of her parents. She would never reject the food they gave her and almost ate herself to death.

But Wen Yu felt that Wen Zhihan simply didn’t understand Shao Cixin.

Shao Cixin had always been eating spicy food when she was with her, so how could she suddenly become someone who didn’t like spicy food?

Wen Zhihan even told her parents that Shao Cixin didn’t like spicy food.

—The two of them were definitely false wives!

Just then, Wen Xingyun asked Shao Cixin what dishes she liked.

Wen Xingyun wanted her to answer objectively, without thinking about what would make them happy.

Shao Cixin looked at the table full of delicious food and fell into thought.

Wen Yu heard this and silently mocked Wen Zhihan with her eyes.

Since it was objective, Shao Cixin would definitely choose the dishes she actually liked, which would be spicy.

Someone was going to lose face.

Wen Zhihan saw her expression by chance and calmly looked away, sipping her soup with a calm expression.

As her wife, Wen Zhihan should know her tastes better than her parents.

But in fact, she didn’t know her at all.

Shao Cixin pretended to think for a while before finally reaching out. 

Then she pointed to a dish in front of her and said to Wen Yu, “I like this one. It’s not spicy, just the right amount of salty and sweet, and it’s so delicious.” 

Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of disbelief. 

– When had she ever liked food that wasn’t spicy? 

Wen Zhihan raised her head and saw that Wen Yu’s expression had changed again. 

She felt puzzled. 

– What was she doing? Practicing her facial expressions?

Shao Cixin didn’t care what her sisters were thinking. She was sure that Joanna’s dish was good, so she enthusiastically praised it.

She made the Wen Xingyun couple very happy, and they said that she should come home more often and they would make whatever she wanted to eat.

Shao Cixin agreed in a loud voice. 

Everyone was in a good mood and continued to eat. 

Only Wen Yu didn’t fit in with the atmosphere and ate her meal without relish. 

Seeing this, Joanna asked concernedly, “What’s wrong? Do you have no appetite?” 

Wen Yu forced a smile and said, “No, nothing’s wrong.” 

After saying this, she obediently lowered her head to eat. 

Joanna got up and said, “I’ll go serve soup for you all. Drink some soup.”

Wen Xingyun smiled when he heard this and also stood up. “I’ll help you.” 

The two elders left, and the atmosphere at the table immediately relaxed.

Wen Zhihan turned to Shao Cixin and quietly asked, “Are you full?” 

Shao Cixin replied, “I’m so full I can’t eat anymore.” 

Wen Zhihan frowned and said, “Then why are you still eating? Aren’t you supposed to be on a diet?”

Shao Cixin looked at her with a “you young people just don’t understand” look and said, “In this world, no one can stick to a diet in front of their parents.” 

Wen Zhihan: “…” 

There was some truth to that. 

Wen Zhihan looked at the meat and vegetables piled onto her plate again and felt pity. She said softly, “Cixin, if you can’t finish it, don’t force yourself. It’s enough to be full.” 

Shao Cixin bit her lip and frowned as she refused, “Mm.” 

Wen Zhihan said, “What’s wrong?” 

Shao Cixin glanced at the location of the kitchen and lowered her voice. “Your parents were just so enthusiastic about serving me food, and I accepted it all. If I put my bowl down and said I was full, it would be so embarrassing for them.” 

She was just the kind of person who didn’t want to let her elders lose face.

And this was the first time they met. Whether she and Wen Zhihan had a real or fake relationship, she wants to leave a good impression on the Wen family and make them happy.

Wen Zhihan thought for a moment and softly suggested a solution: “What if I help you eat some?”

Shao Cixin’s eyes lit up as she raised her head with a “shua” sound.

“It’s like hearing music from the heavens. Thank you, Goddess!”

Wen Zhihan had no choice but to smile helplessly and pick up her bowl.

Shao Cixin enthusiastically divided the food in her bowl for her.

Wen Zhihan picked up her chopsticks and didn’t forget to remind Shao Cixin: “Don’t eat any more after you finish these, and don’t stuff yourself.”

Shao Cixin smiled very happily: “Okay, okay, I won’t eat any more.”

Then she looked at the living goddess in front of her with a look of emotion: “Sister, you’re so good~”

Wen Yu listened to the two women’s chatter.

She looked up and saw them both dividing the food in Shao Cixin’s bowl.

Not only that, but after they had finished dividing it, Shao Cixin also praised Wen Zhihan in a coquettish voice, like she was a walking piece of candy, too sweet to be true.

Wen Yu: “…”

She was hurt again.

Squeeze.

Her fist was tight.

Why are you eating from someone else’s bowl? Isn’t there any other food on the table?!
