Chapter 1463

In the maid’s eyes, given Baili Xia’s petite frame, one box would be enough.

But thinking of it, she felt what she said was a bit rude, so she added a few more words immediately.

“If Miss Xiaxia is not in a hurry, we can make it fresh…”

Unexpectedly, Baili Xia’s words left her dumbfounded.

“No, it’s not enough.

Is there more?

Can you bring me seven or eight more boxes?”

“Miss Xiaxia, can you really eat that much by yourself?” The maid looked at Baili Xia, eyes wide open.

Only then did Baili Xia realize what she had just said and smiled, explaining.

“It’s not just for me. Mr. Nangong hasn’t returned yet, and I’m worried he’ll need to eat when he’s back. Taking it back now saves you the trouble later.”

The maid nodded, finally understanding.

“So it’s for Mr. Nangong as well. I’ll go get some more.”

As she spoke, her voice softened, fearing that speaking too loudly would upset Miss Xiaxia.

The maid took the bag back from Baili Xia and went into the storage room.

In fact, it’s normal for the host to suddenly want to eat something at night, and they could just instruct them.

But if it spares them the hassle, they’d be happier since who wouldn’t want to have a peaceful night’s sleep?

After a while, the maid returned.

She handed the bag to Baili Xia, and as soon as Baili Xia took it, she felt its weight.

Looking inside the bag, she saw there were far more than ten cans, seemingly over twenty.

There were all sorts, chicken, fish, pork, and more.

Baili Xia couldn’t help but exclaim that the maid was unfair, earlier when she wanted some, she only got two cans of beef.

Now that she mentioned the master, she was given over twenty cans.

Being handsome really has its advantages everywhere…

Baili Xia thanked the maid and carried the heavy cans back to her room.

As soon as she opened the door, unsurprisingly, she saw Wu Ming sitting on the sofa, drinking tea.

Baili Xia hurried into the room, locking the door behind her.

She instinctively glanced at the window, knowing she hadn’t left him a key when she went out.

No need to ask, Wu Ming must have climbed in through the window.

She walked slowly to the sofa and placed the bag on the coffee table.

“Have you eaten?” Baili Xia looked at Wu Ming, softly asking.

Wu Ming didn’t respond, his gaze fixed on the bag.

He reached out, opened the bag, casually rummaged through it, and took out a can of beef.

“Today’s meal is much better,” he said blandly.

Baili Xia couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed, explaining: “They lock all the food in the storage room, I have no choice.”

Bei Tianyou definitely wouldn’t search for food himself; a single call and the maids would prepare and deliver it.

It’s not about facing discrimination here, where even eating is an issue, but there’s just no tradition of the host going to the kitchen for food.

Bi Luo Pavilion doesn’t have such habits, what can she do?

Wu Ming paid no attention and directly opened the can, eating with a fork he carried.

“Where did you go during the day?” Watching Wu Ming eat intently, Baili Xia asked softly.

“Just wandered around the Bei Family,” Wu Ming said casually.

Baili Xia was speechless; given Wu Ming’s identity, how could he just wander around?

Surely, he must have secretly been investigating something unknown.

Since he didn’t say, she didn’t ask any further.

He’s Uncle’s man; wherever he wants to go, whatever he wants to do, probably only needs to be accountable to Uncle.
