Food or man?

"Do you want to eat?" Amelia asked when she noticed the woman was looking at her food.

The woman paused after hearing her sudden question. She blinked her eyes and shook her head. "No."

"If you don't want to eat then why are you staring at my food?" Amelia questioned.

"I am not staring at your food. I am staring at you," The woman said through gritted teeth.

"Why?"

A frown came upon her beautiful lips, her eyes narrowed down and she took a glance at Amelia. "Jiang Yuyu, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting so weird?" she questioned. "And, since when did you start eating so much?" the woman asked after she looked at all the dishes kept on the table.

"What do you mean by so much? This is little, not enough for my hungry belly," Amelia pointed out while rubbing her stomach.

"Really?" The woman looked surprised. As if she had thought something, she chuckled and patted Amelia on her shoulder. "Haha, Jiang Yuyu, looks like you have finally come to your senses. Thankfully, you have given up your goal of becoming thin and slim to impress Shen Xiaozhang."

A goal of becoming thin and slim?

To impress Shen Xiaozhang, that scum cheater?

Amelia pursed her lips slowly. Now, she was getting to understand a little about this body. Now, she understood why this was body was thin and malnourished. This real owner of this body was starving herself. No wonder, she was so hungry when she first arrived in this world.

At first, she thought that being a concubine's daughter who was favored by the General, the real victim might be the victim of torture and abuse from the stepmother. Because that's how it happens in most of the cases. However, the truth was entirely different. Now, she understood that the only fool here was the real owner. Nobody was doing torture on her. Infact, she was doing torture on herself.

However, she couldn't understand one thing.

Why are human women so obsessed with changing themselves for getting a person's love?

Why can't a woman understand that if a man doesn't love you the way you are today, he won't love you in the future also?

After all, appearance, weight...etc depends on other factors. As you grow old, you definitely look older. There will be certain changes going on in the body and the appearance. Nothing remains the same; nobody does. No one can look like their 20s in their 80s.

So, what is the use of getting your slimmer for someone? In the future, if you get pregnant, go through some hormonal changes then you will end up gaining weight.

What will you do if that man leaves you then?

Sigh! No matter if it is the ancient era or the modern era, the story remains the same.

However, at the same time, Amelia couldn't relate to any of these. Vampires don't gain weight. That's why she didn't know what she would have done in a similar situation. Though, by looking at all the tasty food in front of her, she could definitely choose one if given a chance.

Between, food or man?

Food wins!!!

"Jiang Yuyu didn't I always advise you to stop listening to your sister?" The woman mentioned.

"Jiang Muxun?"

"Hah!" The woman snorted. "Don't take her name in front of me. It's all because of her that you began to starve yourself. She told you that Shen Xiaozhang's liked thinner and slimmer women and since that day, you began to lose weight drastically."

"No matter how much I tried to make you understand, you just wouldn't listen to me," she complained.

Amelia nodded. Oh! So, this is how it is...

It was her dear sister, that Jiang Muxun, who duped the real owner to starve herself.

Hmm..... interesting.

Amelia looked at the woman sitting beside her carefully. If this woman was stopping the real owner from starving herself and was advising the real owner to not listen to that Jiang Muxun, then she must be a good woman. She must be the real owner's friend.

But, what is her name?

How should she find that out?

Amelia frowned and her eyes fell on Shen Li's little munching face. This little guy had a lot of information on him. He must know this woman, she thought. Just when Shen Li was about to take another bite, he felt somebody's gaze on him. He looked up and his eyes met with Amelia.

'Name?" Amelia mouthed to him secretly.

"Ming Ruolan." Shen Li said in a small whisper.

It was extremely low but thanks to her vampire ears, she could hear it very clearly as though he had spoken it out loud.

"I realize it now, Ruolan. Thank you." Amelia smiled at the woman.

Ming Ruolan snorted, but her eyes looked extremely pleased. "Yuyu, I am telling you again. Don't listen to your sister's words. That Jiang Muxun is not good. I can see it in her eyes that she hates you very much."

"But, why would my elder sister hate me?"

"Hah! Of course, because she is jealous of you." Ming Ruolan snorted.

"Jealous of me?" Amelia pointed towards herself.

Looking at her actions, Ming Ruolan let out a depressing sigh. "How can you be so simple when your mother was so smart? Sometimes, I feel like you are not her daughter at all. Thankfully, your mother saved my mother back then and we ended up becoming best friends. Otherwise, who would take care of you? Who would tell you all these things?"

"My mother?"

"Yes, Aunt Suyin was the most talented number one woman in this capital. She was not only beautiful but she was also highly skilled. She had such great powers. She was a strong woman, a role model for every single woman." Ming Ruolan praised. "So many people sought after her. Many princes, many young masters from the influential family, even the emperor wanted her. But, she fell in love with your father."

Oh! Amelia nodded thoughtfully.

She was finally getting all the information she needed to survive in this world from this woman. She could now paint little bits and pieces of the real owner's life in this world.

This was great!
