Chapter 1280: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Shi Li quickly swam to the lakeside and looked up at Wen Ren Ding.
I feel a little conflicted.
She was afraid that Wen Ren Ding would even treat her as Hakimi and feed her. As a human being, this was something she absolutely could not accept.
So even though Shi Li was growling at the breakfast on the table, she didn't say anything.
I don’t know if there is such a thing as telepathy in this world. The next second, Wen Ren Ding suddenly stood up, reached out to pick her up from the water, and placed her on the extra armchair opposite him.
"Eat until you are full before soaking in water."
He said, handing her a pair of chopsticks and a spoon, and picking up chopsticks himself, "Learn from me."
Shi Li: ...
She picked up the chopsticks with confidence, ready to give the ignorant Wen Ren Ding a big surprise.
Who knew that although the idea was good, the hands were out of control. The mermaid didn't know how to use chopsticks at all, and every time she picked up something, it fell to the ground.
After doing this several times, Shi Li was so embarrassed that she could use her dragon tail to dig out a courtyard on the ground. She quietly raised her head to glance at the man opposite her, and he frowned.
As a human being, it is indeed a shameful thing not to know how to use chopsticks.
Shi Li pursed her lips, put down her chopsticks, and prepared to use a spoon. At worst, she would just not eat the dishes that required chopsticks!
Just as she finished thinking this, she saw Wen Ren Ding picked up the chopsticks she had thrown down, skillfully picked up the dish that she had failed to pick up several times, and brought it to her mouth.
Eat or not?
Shi Li looked at the man who seemed impatient and decisively opened her mouth to take the food.
It’s not that Wen Ren Ding doesn’t treat her as a human being, but she really can’t use chopsticks. The other party extended a pair of friendly chopsticks to her, which has a different meaning!
The two of them fed the other and both felt it was great.
Seeing Shi Li chewing the food with a happy look on her face, Wen Rending unconsciously relaxed his brows.
After the meal, the servant who was guarding not far away dared to come over.
"Master, Master Qiu is here and is waiting to see you outside."
When Shi Li heard this, she felt that she should be a sensible mermaid, so without saying a word, she supported herself on the edge of the table with both hands and jumped into the lake with a splash.
"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll play by myself for a while." She poked her head out of the water and said understandingly.
Wen Ren Ding frowned again.
He glanced at the half-eaten breakfast on the table, then stood up and walked towards the front yard.
The servants in the mansion were well-trained and began to remove the breakfast from the table one after another. No one dared to spy on Shi Li secretly, and each of them focused on his own job.
I don't know if it was the servant's own behavior, but after breakfast was taken away, the servant brought over a large tray filled with fruits and snacks.
The servant placed the tray by the lake, making sure that Shi Li could reach the things on it by just reaching out from the water, and then silently retreated to a distance.
In the front yard, Qiu Liang had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Wenren Ding coming over, he immediately stood up to greet him, staring at him with shining eyes, "Brother Ding, you harvested a few mermaid pearls yesterday, show them to me, so I can broaden my horizons!"
Although mermaids are beautiful, for profit-driven merchants, the most important thing is the mermaid pearls that flow from their eyes and the mermaid silk they weave.
Qiu Liang didn't know that Wenren Ding had dug out a piece of sea overnight, so he didn't mention Jiao Xiao.
Wen Rending stopped and looked at him, frowning and asking, "Are you here just for this?"
"Of course not only that! I also want to ask Brother Ding if you sell the mermaid pearls! My mother's birthday is next month, and I want to buy a string of mermaid pearls to make a necklace..."
Qiu Liang, the filial son, was not aware of Wen Rending's emotions at all and continued to talk incessantly.
"I have a white jade Buddha in my storeroom. I'll give it to you!"
Wen Rending interrupted impatiently, grabbed Qiu Liang by the collar and threw him out of the house.
"close the door!"
Qiu Liang stood on the busy street, rubbing his head in confusion. Although he had long been accustomed to Wen Rending's mood swings, he still felt that his temper this time was strange.
Then he thought about how he had received a white jade Buddha for free, so he laughed and walked home happily.
Before he reached home, he met his servant who was looking for him.
"Master, something bad has happened! Madam has fainted, you should go back and take a look!"
Hearing this, Qiu Liang's face immediately changed, and he ran home in a flash, holding up his clothes.
