Chun Tao dared not delay, quickly went down to prepare, and swiftly laid out the food before retreating outside the door.
Lan Yan: "..." Forget it, she was already accustomed to it; it was all the original owner's mess. She poured a bowl of porridge and placed it before Jun Ye Lan, smiling, "I don't know what you like to eat, so please eat this to recuperate."
She then picked up some side dishes and placed them on a small plate in front of Jun Ye Lan.
Jun Ye Lan looked at the food before him. He hadn't eaten such exquisite dishes in a long time. However, this was prepared by Lan Yan for him, and who knew if she had added anything to it.
He clenched his fist, not reaching for the chopsticks.
Seeing that Jun Ye Lan didn't eat, Lan Yan assumed he was still too weak. She picked up the bowl and said, "How about I feed you?" This was also an opportunity to improve his favorability.
Jun Ye Lan was stunned. He saw the look in Lan Yan's eyes, devoid of teasing, seemingly genuine. However, he did not believe it and shifted sideways, refusing the offer.
Lan Yan was troubled. How could his body recover if he didn't eat! She changed her approach and said, "If you don't eat, then I will." She deliberately ate with relish, hoping to pique Jun Ye Lan's appetite.
Jun Ye Lan, seeing that it was not poisoned, then picked up the spoon and began to eat slowly. At first, he ate bite by bite, but later, driven by hunger, he began to eat heartily.
Lan Yan ate two bites and then put down her bowl; she still preferred meat. Bored, she looked at Jun Ye Lan.
The man was only wearing a white inner garment, his silken black hair casually draped over his back, yet he was an undeniably beautiful man. Furthermore, his refined eating posture, combined with his aloof demeanor, made him even more captivating.
As she was contemplating, the system's voice suddenly sounded in her mind, "Host, please wipe your drool and maintain your image in front of the mission target." As a system, she wouldn't bother with these matters if it weren't for the secret mission.
Lan Yan felt embarrassed and quickly lowered her head, pretending to drink porridge, while actually taking out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. After she finished wiping, she looked up and saw that Jun Ye Lan's bowl was already empty. She smiled and asked, "Are you full? Would you like some more?"
She picked up the spoon, preparing to get more porridge, when crying sounds came from outside the door. Who was it, disturbing her progress in gaining favorability!
Chun Tao outside reported, "Miss, it's the Second Miss. She's crying outside the door, I don't know what happened."
Recalling the original owner's personality, Lan Yan knew she had often bullied her younger half-siblings. She then looked at Jun Ye Lan's cold expression and thought that this might be a good opportunity to change her image.
She chuckled and waved her hand, saying, "Let her in."
A fifteen-year-old girl walked in from the doorway. She had a delicate, pretty face and some charm. She wore a pink ruqun, a simple wooden hairpin adorning her hair, and bowed her head, saying, "Greetings, Eldest Sister."
If Lan Yan hadn't seen her sister trembling, she would have momentarily thought they had genuine sisterly affection. Maintaining the original owner's persona, she asked, "What is it?"
Lan Ya trembled again and stammered, "N-nothing. I've disturbed Eldest Sister's meal, I'll leave now." She prepared to leave, but her legs were shaking, and she couldn't move.
Lan Yan saw this and put her hand to her forehead. She softened her tone, trying to be as gentle as possible, and said, "Since you call me Eldest Sister, I should take good care of you. Just say it."
Upon hearing this, surprise flashed across Lan Ya's face, and she looked up at Lan Yan. Eldest Sister seemed a bit different. She then noticed that Eldest Sister was not alone and was dining with a snake tribe man, which shocked her even more.
