As the saying went, one had to look at the owner before hitting a dog.
Xiao Dezi was being pointed at and scolded by Li Xiaoran was like a slap to the emperor’s face.
At this moment, the emperor’s expression was very sulky.
This was the first time Luo Cheng had seen his scumbag father so insulted, so he was secretly overjoyed.
The emperor seemed to have noticed Luo Cheng’s gloating look and he looked at him.
“Is this how you treat your father, seventh son?”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she let go of Xiao Dezi and looked at the emperor.
Seventh son? Father?
After Li Xiaoran’s guess was confirmed, she was even more furious.
The person in front of her had not fulfilled his duty as a father since her husband was young and had abandoned him.
Moreover, the man in front of her had caused much trouble when her husband didn’t need his care anymore!
“There’s a saying that goes, a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. Like father, like son!” Li Xiaoran said as she looked at Luo Cheng. “Husband, if we have a child in the future, you have to accompany him more. Don’t ignore him, because a child needs his parents’ company the most when he’s young. When children grow up, even if the children’s parents want to compensate their children, the children won’t need that kind of companionship anymore!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, although my father isn’t a good father and abandoned me when I was young, I’ll be a very responsible father. I’ll guard you alone and our children. I’ll accompany them as they grow up and raise them with all my heart. At least, they’ll have what other children have!”
When Luo Cheng said this, he looked straight at his scumbag father.
“I don’t want to regret neglecting my children when I’m old. I believe that if I treat my son sincerely, after he grows up, he will definitely care about me!”
When the emperor heard Luo Cheng’s words, his anger dissipated and he fell silent.
At this moment, the waiter brought in a large table of food.
As dishes were served one after another, the air was filled with a spicy smell.
Li Xiaoran was satisfied and hungry.
Before the emperor could say anything, Li Xiaoran pulled Luo Cheng to wash his hands before sitting down to eat.
As the waiter looked at the emperor, who was sitting at the side, he hesitated for a moment. In the end, he also placed bowls and chopsticks for the emperor and Xiao Dezi.
After doing all this, the waiter immediately slipped out without giving the group of people in the private room a chance to speak.
When Li Xiaoran saw this scene, she couldn’t help but laugh.
This waiter sensed that the atmosphere in this private room wasn’t right, so he ran away after serving the dishes.
After scolding the current emperor, Li Xiaoran’s mood improved.
After taking a bite of the spicy fish, Li Xiaoran had a look of enjoyment!
“Sigh, husband, this chef’s boiled fish tastes even better than mine! As expected, there’s always someone better. Before we go back, let’s kidnap this restaurant’s chef!”
As soon as she said this, Xiao Dezi mocked her.
“Do you know who owns this restaurant? You want to kidnap the chef? You’re delusional!”
Li Xiaoran looked at Xiao Dezi and the smile on her face disappeared. “If you disturb my good mood again, I’ll chase you out!”
When Li Xiaoran had a straight face, she was quite intimidating.
At least, when Xiao Dezi saw Li Xiaoran like this, he immediately didn’t dare to say anything else.
However, Xiao Dezi looked at the emperor aggrievedly, in hopes that the emperor would punish this bold woman.
However, the emperor was still deep in thought and didn’t notice them bickering.
After Li Xiaoran ate it, she thought of something, so she scooped a spoonful of Mapo Tofu and placed it in the emperor’s bowl.
“Try this tofu! This is an ingredient that you people in the capital don’t eat often. At least, you won’t taste this often! This is called Mapo Tofu. It tastes spicy and delicious, so it’s suitable for an old person like you. It won’t break
your teetn!”
With that, Li Xiaoran pointed at the spicy chicken not far away.
“Look at this dish. It’s also spicy and delicious, but after the chicken is fried, it’s very chewy. An old man with bad teeth like you won’t be able to chew it. It’ll be pointless if you can’t chew the meat!”
When the emperor heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was furious.
This countryside woman had actually mocked him several times already.
Did she really think he was a pushover?
“That’s right. Father, try this Mapo Tofu too! You’re used to eating delicious food, so I believe you’ve never tasted this sort of food before!” Luo Cheng took the initiative to scoop a spoonful of Mapo Tofu into the emperor’s bowl before he could flare up.
After the emperor glanced at Luo Cheng, he started eating.
After the emperor took a bite of the Mapo Tofu, he felt that it was delicious and took a second bite.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran scooped another spoonful of rice.
“Don’t keep eating Mapo Tofu. It’s best to eat it with rice. ! This dish is a side dish! A mouthful of rice with Mapo Tofu will taste delicious!”
The emperor glanced at Li Xiaoran but didn’t speak.
“Don’t look at me! No one is perfect but no one is worthless either. You’re good at handling state affairs, but I’m good at enjoying life. Food is ranked at the top. Therefore, I’m more experienced than you in this regard. Try and see if I’m lying to you!” Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows at the emperor.
When the emperor heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he ate the Mapo Tofu with rice.
The Mapo Tofu tasted even better than before.
After that, Li Xiaoran picked up food for the emperor with the serving chopsticks.
Li Xiaoran ate every dish first, then picked up a piece for the emperor with the serving chopsticks.
The emperor began to enjoy the meal according to Li Xiaoran’s eating method.
However, from the beginning to the end, Li Xiaoran didn’t pick up any spicy chicken for the emperor.
Seeing that Li Xiaoran was eating with relish, the emperor snorted to express his displeasure.
Li Xiaoran pretended not to hear him and continued to eat.
When Xiao Dezi saw this, he quickly took a pair of serving chopsticks and picked up a spicy chicken for the emperor.
After the emperor took a bite, he coughed violently!
