She couldn't control her physical instincts and looked at the source of the scent.

It was Xiang Yi who had come out of the kitchen with a plate of braised delights.

The food of the top layers were soft, sticky, and tender pig trotters and beside it were some duck wings and chicken claws. The platter was also garnished and decorated with some dried beancurd and mushrooms. The food was all dipped in the beautiful red-brown marinade with some white sesame seeds sprinkled on it. The heavenly aroma spread toward the surroundings, making all of them tempted...

Fu Jiayan: ???

Jiang Jiujiu was speechless.

Xiang Yi's brothers were clearly already accustomed to the delicacies she cooked so they were rather composed.

However, the food was a huge stimulation to Fu Jiayan and Jiang Jiujiu!

'It's so fragrant!'

'How can it be so fragrant?!'

"Gulu..." Fu Jiayan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Xiang Yi placed the braised food platter on the center of the table. She said, "I asked around and everyone can take spicy foods, so I marinated them in spicy sauce. Give it a try. Oh, by the way, I'll go get the soy milk."

Xiang Yi stood up and proceeded to get the soy milk, and the people at the table immediately got into battle mode!

Xiang Yi's brothers made eye contact with fiery gazes in their eyes. There was an intense tension.

Fu Jiayan chickened out, and he didn't dare to move his chopsticks at all.

Jiang Jiujiu remembered her 'bold words' just now, and now she didn't move her chopsticks at all because she was too embarrassed to do so.

Soon, there was a clear victory among Xiang Yi's brothers.

Xiang Chen was the first to dig in, and he picked up a few bite-sized pieces of sliced pig's trotters and placed them into his mouth.

Xiang Li was next and he only ate vegetables.

Xiang Qi and Xiang Yu were meat lovers so one of them picked up a duck wing and the other picked up some chicken feet.

When it was Fu Jiayan's turn, he warily picked up a small piece of pig's trotter that had fallen on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

"!!!"

His mouth was filled with a heavenly aroma as soon as he put the food into his mouth, followed by a numbing spiciness on the tip of his tongue. The meat was tender and soft. It was as if even the bone had become tender after a long time of cooking. The sauce was sweet and delectable, and the meat really melted in his mouth. There was an endless aftertaste!

It was different from what Fu Jiayan imagined. After tasting it...

It was really enjoyable!

Having a taste of every dish without eating much?

No such thing!

Fu Jiayan showed the audience what a grown man's meal is!

He couldn't help but bury his face in the bowl as he polished the food off in joy!

The netizens were appalled.

---- [This is like a pig in the granary...]

---- [Your Highness, you have eaten all sorts of delicacies, must you enjoy it so much?!]

---- [Oh dear, the suave Crown Prince is dead. All that's left is a ruthless eating machine!]

...

As for Jiang Jiujiu, she had already slipped into a miserable struggle.

To eat...

Or not...

'Ahhhh!!!'

Xiang Yi's clear and melodious voice rang in her ears. "Jiujiu, eat up."

The young girl took the initiative to pick up a piece of pork trotters for her. "Didn't you say that you want to eat this just now?"

Jiang Jiujiu said proudly with a sullen expression, "Really? I don't even remember anymore."

'Well, you cooked these dishes for me because I asked but if others asked you to, you will do the same!'

'Hmph!'

Xiang Yi said, "Yes..."

Seemingly realizing something, she continued, "I'm sorry, I'll use another pair of chopsticks."

She didn't realize that she was using her own chopsticks.

Although she had yet to start eating, she reckoned that Jiang Jiujiu probably minded it and thus didn't want to eat it.

She took a clean plate for Jiang Jiujiu and picked up a piece of pig's trotters, duck wings, mushrooms, and other food items for her with a clean pair of chopsticks.

Seeing how careful Xiang Yi was and how she was treating her as a stranger, Jiang Jiujiu exclaimed furiously, "Must I eat it just because you told me to? Why must I listen to you?!"
