I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 421

Chapter 421

Xie Xuanchen was well-known for his talent and strength of force, so he might not be very gentle when it came to certain activities.
The main palace fell into a weird atmosphere of silence.and at this moment, a servant stopped at the door, hesitant to speak. Seeing all the royals looking over, she could only bite the bullet and step forward, asking in a low voice, “Princess, the kitchen staff is asking if you’d like breakfast?”
Xie Xuanji was really surprised when he heard this, “Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law haven’t had breakfast yet?”
When visiting, it was natural to not come early in the morning as they would definitely pick a time that was suitable for both parties. It was Si time now (aka somewhere between 9-11am) and it’s already more than halfway through the morning, yet Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang haven’t had breakfast yet?
Mu Mingtang blinked, awkwardly not knowing how to speak. They got up late today, she accidentally fell asleep again just now and had a fight with Xie Xuanchen for a bit…
She didn’t expect to come to this point either.
Xie Xuanchen remained very stable and when he heard this, his expression was indifferent as he replied, “Isn’t it common to get up later in winter?”
Dawn would usually come later in the winter. Coupled with the cold weather, it was indeed easier to stay in bed than it would be in summer. However, Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang’s wake-up time was no longer just staying in bed.
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, everyone was embarrassed. He didn’t actually say anything, but it was almost as if he said a lot.
Mu Mingtang was afraid that Xie Xuanchen would say something shocking again, so she quickly stopped him, “Today we’ve probably made a fool of ourselves in front of Prince Jin and Princess Jin. Have the three of you eaten yet? Why don’t we sit and eat together?”
Mu Mingtang’s words were purely being polite and she didn’t intend to invite the three people in front of her for a meal. After all, she trusted that Xie Xuanji wouldn’t feel at ease to touch the food in Prince An’s Mansion even if he wanted to come. She assumed that Xie Xuanji was going to leave after she finished speaking, but she didn’t expect for him to really accept and thank them, “Thank you, Second Sister-in-law.”
Mu Mingtang was speechless for a while, so she could only sit down for a meal with these people.
Xie Xuanji hadn’t fulfilled the reason he came here today and he was unwilling to return without success. On the other hand, he couldn’t delay the couple’s meal time, so he could only bite the bullet and accompany them for breakfast. Although there were chopsticks in front of them, none of the trio from Prince Jin’s Mansion moved. The table was full of food, but only Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang moved their chopsticks.
Xie Xuanchen scooped up some porridge for Mu Mingtang and picked up a shrimp for her, “You didn’t eat much last night. The shrimp seems lighter today, so eat more.”
Mu Mingtang was not picky about food and Xie Xuanchen knew her tastes as she would basically eat whatever she was given. Looking at the scene at the dining table, Xie Xuanji felt that the scene in front of him was vaguely familiar besides having Wan Yanduo present this time.
He remembered that when he and Jiang Mingwei just got married, he came to Prince An’s Mansion to pay his respects and happened to have a meal with the couple as well. At that time, Mu Mingtang was taking care of Xie Xuanchen as she didn’t like the fact that he was eating too little. Unexpectedly, they were still in a similar situation now other than the fact that the roles had been reversed.
