Chapter 281 His head got caught in a door
Shen Zicen went to find Qian Duoduo as soon as he came out of the ancestral hall. He felt uneasy whenever he was away from her.
Qian Duoduo watched Shen Zicen walk towards her and waved to him.
Just as Shen Zicen was about to reach out and hug Qian Duoduo, she walked right past him as if she didn't see him.
“Duoduo…”
The rest of the words stuck in Shen Zicen's throat.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, Qian Duoduo suddenly turned around and hugged Shen Zicen.
"Ah Cen, I'm going to check on Niannian. I'll be right back."
After saying that, she planted a kiss on Shen Zicen's cheek and then quickly left.
She first went to the kitchen and got Niannian chicken legs and meat buns, to keep her promise to Xiaodengzi.
Actually, without this excuse, she wouldn't know what reason to use to see her.
Just as Qian Duoduo was struggling with how to bring it into the ancestral hall, a small stool popped out from outside the kitchen.
"Master's wife, are you going to find Niannian?"
Qian Duoduo nodded, looking at the food in front of her with a bit of a loss.
At this moment, the little stool looked around and then quietly took out the oil paper from its pocket.
"Master's wife, you can wrap it up with this and then secretly take it in for Niannian."
After saying that, the little stool disappeared in a flash. She was afraid that if her master couldn't find him, he would think she was being lazy.
Qian Duoduo looked at the brand-new oil paper in her hand, and then at the slightly larger chicken leg and meat bun in front of her.
She secretly wrapped them all up, avoiding the cook, but the oil paper was a bit small, and some of it always stuck out.
If she carried it in her bosom, wouldn't she get oil all over herself? And if Ah Cen found out, that would be terrible!
Qian Duoduo looked at the oil paper that she had ravaged beyond recognition and was worried. In the end, she decided to transport it in in the safest way possible.
When she swaggered into the ancestral hall, Shen Er still put his arm around her.
"Shen Er, this time it was your镖主 (bodyguard/escort leader) who agreed to let me in~"
Shen Er didn't speak, but just stared intently at the plate in her hand.
Qian Duoduo met his probing gaze without a hint of guilt.
“You can come in, but you can’t eat this food. Besides, Nian Nian has already eaten breakfast.”
She didn't even try to hide the shiny chicken legs and meat buns; the aroma was so strong it filled the air.
Qian Duoduo remained calm, saying, "These aren't for Niannian, they're for me."
Shen Er glanced at Qian Duoduo, signaling her to continue.
"I want to let Niannian see with her own eyes that I eat all this meat and leave none for her."
Shen Er raised an eyebrow, not understanding what Qian Duoduo meant.
"Oh, I'm just testing her willpower."
At this point, Qian Duoduo began to talk non-stop.
“I know Niannian doesn’t like me, so she will never eat the things I give her. I’ll eat them myself so she can have more self-control.”
Shen Er didn't know what to say to Qian Duoduo. She knew that Niannian didn't like her, yet she still brought these meats to provoke her. Wouldn't Niannian hate her even more?
Just as Shen Er was about to speak up to persuade her, Qian Duoduo immediately raised her hand to stop her.
"No need for praise, just open the door and let me in, I'm starving."
As she spoke, Qian Duoduo brought her nose close to the chicken leg and took a deep breath.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's expression, Shen Er didn't say anything more.
She now suspects that Qian Duoduo has some mental issues, perhaps he got his head caught in a door this morning.
When Qian Duoduo entered the ancestral hall with a tray of food, he saw Niannian sitting upright on a prayer mat.
Niannian also overheard her conversation with Shen Er at the door and scoffed at her words.
There's absolutely no way she'd eat it. She thinks she can train me? Hmph!
Without saying a word, Qian Duoduo sat down on the ground, picked up a meat bun, and started eating.
The aroma of the meat buns wafted up and filled the entire ancestral hall.
Niannian closed his eyes and silently swallowed; he had no desire to eat.
"Mmm, it smells so good."
Niannian frowned; she wanted to cover her ears and kick this woman out.
Qian Duoduo watched as Niannian's figure swayed slightly but quickly regained its balance, so she could only exaggerate even more.
"These steamed buns, the meat inside smells so good, tsk~ the juice smells amazing too~"
Niannian was almost driven crazy by Qian Duoduo, but she still sat there without moving.
There's no way she would touch anything that woman brought.
Seeing Nian Nian's resolute back, Qian Duoduo had no choice but to change her approach.
"The food left on this little stool is especially delicious."
As Qian Duoduo spoke, she kept an eye on Niannian's actions out of the corner of her eye.
Sure enough, as soon as Niannian heard the word "little stool," her ears perked up instantly.
She stood in front of Qian Duoduo, pointing to the meat buns and chicken legs on the plate, "Did Xiao Deng ask you to bring these in?"
Qian Duoduo glanced up at it, then continued eating the steamed bun as if it were some kind of heavenly delicacy.
"Of course, who else would it be? It couldn't be that I got my head caught in a door and left it for you, could it?"
Upon hearing that it was a small stool, Niannian disregarded all self-control, sat down directly in front of Qian Duoduo, picked up a chicken leg, and started gnawing on it.
These were all left for her by her best friend, sob sob, it seems a small stool is still the most reliable.
Niannian was so touched by the little stool that she kept stuffing chicken legs into her mouth.
It smells so good!
After finishing the chicken leg, she reached for the meat bun with her little paws. She had eaten tasteless food all day yesterday, and her tongue was practically running away from home.
Qian Duoduo frowned as she watched Niannian wolf down her food. How could she be so rude?
Looking at her bulging cheeks, which had been stuffed full by Nian Nian, she felt that she should be full, but she still seemed to want more.
She ate what was in her mouth while looking at what was on the plate.
When her little paws reached for the meat bun again, Qian Duoduo slapped her hand away.
"I only left you one bun on the little stool, the rest are mine."
Niannian looked at the last bite of steamed bun in her hand and glared angrily at Qian Duoduo. She should have saved a bun for dinner.
Qian Duoduo ignored Niannian's expression, finished packing without saying a word, and left.
Niannian quietly placed the remaining steamed buns in her hand onto the plate of offerings to Guan Gong, and then licked the oil off her fingers.
Hmph~ Don't expect me to forgive that woman, even though, even though she gave me meat.
Niannian was a little less resolute, but in the end she found a reason for herself: those were all left for her by Xiaodengzi, not for her.
She's not that kind; she wouldn't even give herself a meat bun.
When Qian Duoduo brought out the leftover steamed buns, Shen Er glanced at the plate.
"What are you looking at? I didn't have an appetite this morning, so I only ate a little."
After saying that, Qian Duoduo felt her stomach was about to protest and quickly left the ancestral hall.
Just after I turned the corner, my stomach started growling.
Qian Duoduo was glad she left early, otherwise Shen Er would have caught her.
