Chapter 936: Chapter 937: Afraid to Peek at Her

Then, An Yiyun became unhappy, pursed his lips, and used an extremely aggrieved, melancholic look to gaze at An Jing, "Mom, is it only Yun Er whose mouth isn’t big..."

An Jing laughed, "Your mouth is also big, Mom was just teasing you."

"Oh, oh, oh." An Yiyun immediately cheered up and started eating the egg-stuffed pancake again.

As An Yiyun was happily eating his egg-stuffed pancake again, he noticed Meng Zhuqing had arrived. He immediately excitedly yelled to Meng Zhuqing, who had not yet come in, "Uncle Zhuqing, Uncle Zhuqing, come eat the egg-stuffed pancakes, they’re really tasty."

An Jing laughed, "Better lucky than early, just right, I and your grandpa made a lot today, you should stay and eat too."

Meng Zhuqing was there to report recent matters from Prince Yi’s Mansion to Xiao Changyi. Upon entering, he realized Tobanya was also there, his heart clenched painfully, but he showed none of it on his face.

"Grandpa, lady, Commandery Princess." Meng Zhuqing clasped his hands and bowed to them one by one.

After bowing, Meng Zhuqing was about to refuse to stay and eat the egg-stuffed pancakes, but before he could speak, little An Yiyun climbed down from the stool and enthusiastically pulled him to sit at the table.

And it was right next to Tobanya.

Meng Zhuqing: "..."

While seating Meng Zhuqing down, An Yiyun said in his babyish voice, "Uncle Zhuqing, make sure to get lots of meat, the meat Daddy fried is really tasty, it’s even better wrapped in the pancake."

Now that everyone was seated, Meng Zhuqing could only respond, "Okay."

An Jing, while eating her egg-stuffed pancake, laughed, "You should wash your hands first; you need to eat this with your hands, chopsticks don’t really work."

"Yes." Meng Zhuqing stood up and washed his hands in the nearby basin.

After his hands were clean, he walked back.

Originally, he planned to change seats upon returning, not to sit next to Tobanya, but thinking it might seem too deliberate, he dismissed the thought and continued to sit next to Tobanya.

Meng Zhuqing often ate meals with An Jing and Xiao Changyi, so it was not uncomfortable for him, but having Tobanya sitting next to him forced him to suppress the ache in his heart, showing no signs of pain, he picked up an egg pancake and ate it as Xiao Changyi had taught, wrapped with lettuce and tenderloin.

The egg-stuffed pancake was really tasty, full of light refreshing flavors, but his enjoyment was marred by a blandness, as he dare not even glance at the person beside him, not even a stolen peek.

Tobanya, however, glanced at Meng Zhuqing. The egg pancake was on the other side of Meng Zhuqing; she took the chance to reach for the egg pancake and boldly stole glances at Meng Zhuqing.

She even spoke up, very naturally, "Deputy General Meng, maybe move the egg pancake a bit closer, it would be easier for everyone to reach."

Meng Zhuqing’s heart skipped a beat, not at all expecting Tobanya to talk to him, but he quickly responded with a ’yes’ and moved the egg pancake to a position that was easier for everyone to reach.

An Jing sat directly across from Meng Zhuqing and Tobanya. Seeing Tobanya act so naturally while Meng Zhuqing appeared somewhat reserved, she figured it truly was just Meng Zhuqing harboring unrequited love.

Fortunately, Tobanya did not yet know of Meng Zhuqing’s feelings for her.

Had Tobanya known, Meng Zhuqing would have been even more uncomfortable now.

Seeing that her husband was about to finish his egg-stuffed pancake, An Jing quickly put down the half-eaten pancake in her hands and then rolled another egg-stuffed pancake for her husband.
