The Long-awaited Mr Han

Chapter 1666: They Just Wanted to Starve

But seeing their reaction, she really could not think of any other possibility.

Just as Shi Xiaoya was wracking her brains trying to think of how to explain herself, Han Zhuoling suddenly said, “Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Second Aunt.”

Han Zhuoling’s voice was really a lifesaver.

Shi Xiaoya heaved a sigh of relief as she heard Han Zhuoling ask, “Have you all eaten before coming?”

“No,” Old Mrs. Han said. “Doesn’t the competition start at 7:30 pm? We’d decided to come early. Considering the travel time to reach here, we were afraid there would be a jam, so we left the house at 5:30 pm. We felt that eating at 4:30 pm would be a little too early, so we decided not to eat. We’re thinking of eating after watching the competition, which would be around 9 pm. That won’t be too late.”

Han Zhuoling nodded. Who knew this question would instigate Old Mrs. Han again?

Old Mrs. Han clasped Shi Xiaoya’s hand and did not seem willing to let go at all. “Xiaoya, have you and Lu Man eaten?”

Shi Xiaoya smiled and replied, “We haven’t either. We were afraid there would not be enough time, so we put on the makeup earlier and did not have time to eat. Lu Man was afraid that eating would smear the makeup, so she did not dare to eat at all.”

Who knew, the moment Shi Xiaoya said that, Han Zhuoli would produce dime-sized sandwiches out of the blue, which were kept in a box for freshness.

Each sandwich had a small toothpick stuck into it.

Han Zhuoli was heard saying, “Man Man, eat some first.”

Hearing this sound, everyone turned over and saw Han Zhuoli carrying the sandwich box and feeding Lu Man one of the sandwiches that had a toothpick stuck into it.

They even heard him explain, “I expected that you wouldn’t have time to eat, and it won’t be convenient to eat dim sum when waiting for your performance later. I can’t possibly let you starve before going up on stage, so I asked Auntie He to prepare it and send it over at noontime so that I can bring it over.”

Lu Man was about to eat, but she realized that everyone’s gaze was fixed on her.

The others have not even eaten yet, but she was here enjoying her own food, which was really not very appropriate.

Lu Man said in a small voice, “I’ll just eat two pieces to satiate my hunger. Grandma and the rest haven’t eaten yet.”

“Don’t worry, I ordered food from the school vicinity, it will arrive soon,” Han Zhuoli said. “We can all feel free to eat. You don’t need to worry about the makeup smudging.”

Old Mrs. Han’s palms were itching. She felt like smacking Han Zhuoli.

Who asked him to order food?!

They just wanted to starve!

Only then could they have an excuse to drag Shi Xiaoya along to eat after the competition had ended!

Luckily, Han Zhuoli was also quite mischievous now. The moment he heard Old Mrs. Han say that, he knew what she was planning, so he naturally would not spoil her plan.

Han Zhuoli smiled and explained to Old Mrs. Han, “I didn’t order a proper meal. By the time the food is delivered, the competition would have started a long time ago, so I just ordered some small dim sum to ease our hunger first. Once the competition is over, we can go and eat a proper meal.”

Han Zhuoli naturally would not let the elders think badly of Lu Man.

He was good to Lu Man, but he could not make the elders dislike Lu Man because of what he did.

All along, the elders of the Han Family were very loving and protective of Lu Man, but Lu Man was also very mindful and would not do anything that would make the elders uncomfortable no matter how much they adored her.

“That’s not bad, not bad.” Old Mrs. Han nodded in satisfaction, thinking to herself that Han Zhuoli had become quite astute now!

A married person was really different.

Lu Man happened to be sitting beside Shen Nuo. Shen Nuo smiled and said to Lu Man, “You don’t need to be so mindful about everything. We are not so petty.”

Lu Man smiled and nodded before preparing to eat the sandwiches without worry.
