Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive

Right then, the dinner in the Ling family still continued on.

At that moment, Liu Fen was only the housekeeper of the Ling family, and she had no right to sit and eat with the family at the table. But, when she had finished all of her tasks, she naturally sat beside Ling Tao.

Liu Fen's actions made Ling Tao express a sliver of annoyance. This position was first occupied by Yu Meizi, and then Qu Wan, which meant only the female owner of the Ling family had the authority to sit here.

Faced with Ling Tao's look, Liu Fen pretended like she hadn't seen any of it and started to pick up foods on the table with a bright smile.

"Why are you not eating, sir?" Liu Fen picked up a piece of pork ribs and placed it onto Ling Tao's bow. "Is it that the food's not to your tastes? I've already said that food this sweet don't go well with rice, and with the food this bland, can they really be called food at all?"

As Liu Fen spoke, she snuck looks at Ling Tianya. She knew that all these dishes were specially prepared for Ling Tianya by Ling Tao; they are all foods that Ling Tianya loves to eat.

But, since she was young, Liu Fen had been helping out with chores and farm work and would burn off a lot of energy and sweat every day. So, in order to make sure that they had enough energy and nutrients, their family tended to cook with more oil and salt in order to fuel their bodies for their work.

Therefore, Liu Fen naturally wasn't able to get used to foods that were less salty and more sweet and got picky with what she ate.

Ling Tao silently took the piece of rib that Liu Fen had given to him and placed it beside his bowl, his face as dark as the sky before a storm.

Unfortunately, Housekeeper Liu was horrendous at reading people's emotions. She thought that Ling Tao didn't eat the ribs because he didn't like it, so she smacked her lips before picking up the piece of rib that Ling Tao had placed on the table and munched on it without further care.

She continued to complain even as she munched on the food, "Ribs should be stewed in a ton of soy sauce and salt to be tasty. This is just sweet and sour, it doesn't taste like meat at all."

Ling Tao slammed his chopsticks on the table. This dinner was completely ridiculous!

Liu Fen was stunned. This was when she realized that something wasn't right with Ling Tao. She looked over at Ling Tao with huge eyes before diverting her gaze to land on Madame Ling.

Madame Ling was certainly annoyed. This Liu Fen was an oblivious woman. Even so, she still tried to mediate the situation, gently chiding Ling Tao, "We're having dinner. What are you so upset for? Tianya's back, we should sit down and have a good dinner."

Ling Tianya's eyebrows shot up. Her grandmother was definitely an amazing woman; she hadn't forgotten about her.

The moment Madame Ling brought up Ling Tianya, thinking about the fact that his daughter wasn't back home often, Ling Tao agreed that it wasn't worth it to ruin their family dinner just over Liu Fen.

So Ling Tao picked up his chopsticks again and continued eating.

"Yaya, you like to eat West Lake Fish in Vinegar. Here."

Liu Fen was about to grab the fish with her chopsticks. She didn't have many chances to have fish back in her hometown, so even if she didn't like sweet and sour food, her mouth still watered at the sight of fish.

But the moment her chopsticks had just touched the plate with the fish on it, the entire plate was lifted up by Ling Tao and placed right before Ling Tianya.

Liu Fen's chopsticks then awkwardly hung in the air, her gaze still stuck on the fish, but her face had morphed into pain, looking at Ling Tianya as though she was her arch nemesis.

In reality, Liu Fen did treat Ling Tianya. On one hand, she felt that Ling Tianya had stolen away Ling Tao's love and concern. On the other hand, she felt threatened that Ling Tianya might steal away the wealth that belonged to her future son.

Liu Fen would never be able to get along well with Ling Tianya like Madame Ling had asked.
