Chapter 421: Such A Change?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The meal was a little silent. The Zhang Family did not have any rules about not talking during mealtimes, but they still seemed very silent.
Even though Zhang Ji and his brother were already trying their best to liven up the atmosphere, Liang Xun didn’t respond. He was focused on taking care of Jing Yao.
He paid attention to Jing Yao at all times. Most of the time, he knew that Jing Yao wanted to eat the dishes after Jing Yao took a few more glances at them. Then, he put them in her bowl before Jing Yao could do anything.
At this time, Jing Yao often looked at him and smiled.
Liang Xun would also smile. Their actions were not exaggerated, but their interactions seemed very natural.
It was obvious that they got along like this at home.
The Zhang Family seemed to be eating their own food, but in fact, most of their attention was on the two of them.
Especially Zhang Li. She didn’t know what to eat during this meal and wanted to take a few more glances at Jing Yao.
However, she did not dare to make it too obvious.
She had never picked up any food herself. She would pay more attention to which dish Liang Xun picked up for Jing Yao.
Looking at her in a daze, many scenes from the past inexplicably appeared in her mind.
She remembered that Jing Yao’s taste wasn’t like this when she was young.
Of course, she didn’t care about Jing Yao at all at that time, so she didn’t pay attention to Jing Yao’s taste.
However, after all, they had been together for more than 10 years. When she was brought back from the nanny’s house in the countryside, she was always timid.
At that time, the new auntie at home didn’t know the inside story. After knowing Jing Yao’s identity, she thought that Jing Yao would be the other person in the family who was cherished.
After all, Zhang Li and Jing Mo’s explanation for sending their youngest daughter to the nanny’s house in the countryside was that Jing Yao was not in good health. The environment in the big city was noisy and the air was not fresh. It was not conducive to Jing Yao’s recovery, so they sent her to the countryside.
At that time, the aunties of the Jing Family really believed it.
After Jing Yao came back, they would ask Jing Yao what she wanted to eat before cooking.
At first, Jing Yao said that it was up to them, but later on, she would slowly order a few dishes. They were all light dishes.
Hence, Zhang Li thought that she was indeed not like her biological daughter. She had an indifferent and boring personality, and her favorite dishes were the same.
But now it seemed that the dishes that Jing Yao liked were basically peppers.
Hence, she liked spicy food.
Could it have changed later?
Would a person’s taste really change so much when they grew up?
Jing Yao continued eating and did not look up at anyone. At most, she interacted with Liang Xun.
However, even with her head lowered, she could only feel Zhang Li’s gaze. Her presence was too strong.
She did not know what Zhang Li was thinking. If she knew, her mood would probably be even worse.
She had never liked overly light food since she was young. When she was pregnant, she was coaxed by Liang Xun to eat a lot for the sake of her nutrition and health.
Now, she did not want to touch it at all.
Speaking of why she ordered light food when she first arrived at the Jing Family, it was because she saw that Zhang Li always ordered light food and thought that Zhang Li liked it.
As a child, she thought that her mother would be in a much better mood and treat her better if she ate something she liked.
However, she only slowly realized it after she grew up.
The reason why Zhang Li ordered light dishes every time was not because she liked them, but because Jing Yuan could not touch spicy food since she was young.
In fact, Zhang Li’s taste was quite similar to Jing Yao’s.
Zhang Li had long forgotten about these distant matters.
Jing Yao rarely thought about it again. Now, as long as she was not sick, she could eat whatever she wanted.
If Liang Xun felt that the food bought outside was unhygienic, he would learn it himself. He would ensure the nutrition of the food as much as possible under the premise that the taste would not change.
After living with Liang Xun for a long time, Jing Yao felt that her tastes had been spoiled. Every time she went out to eat, she would instinctively compare the food in the restaurant with Liang Xun’s. The final result was that it was not as good as Liang Xun’s.
Later on, gradually, she rarely went out to eat.
Since it was not nutritious and was not as delicious as Liang Xun’s cooking, she might as well eat at home.
Jing Yao tried her best to ignore Zhang Li’s gaze. She fed herself first, greeted everyone at the table, and got up to make milk for her son.
In the past, Liang Xun had already done these things without her needing to do anything.
However, this time, she had agreed with Liang Xun to let her do it.
Liang Xun knew what she was thinking. She still did not like to stay with Zhang Li, so she found an excuse for herself to leave the table early..
