"No, no, no, there's nothing like that! I'm not buttering you up, I'm genuinely complimenting you."
With these three denials, Leng Lingxiao became even more convinced that Tang Xiaowan had definitely done something mischievous and was purposely distracting him.
So, he pretended to be calm and started grilling threadfin, crabs, and oysters.
These were all Tang Xiaowan's favorites.
"Wow, Huahua, why are you sweating so much? Come, don't move around, let me wipe it off for you. It must be so uncomfortable to be sticky."
Leng Lingxiao cleared his throat and pretended to be unmoved, but Tang Xiaowan's voice was too gentle and sweet; he couldn't resist it and had to gulp down a few sips of pear juice hastily.
"It's okay, no worries."
"Oh, do you need my help?"
"No need, this is a man's job. You just sit there and eat nicely."
"Oh, alright then, I'll go take some to grandma and the others. Oysters, big prawns, and...this, right, these two as well."
