I am not hungry

As soon as the food was infront of Amelia, she was instantly happy.

"Miss Jiang, please...." The manager hissed with a smile on his face.

Because of the tasty food, Amelia ignored his unpleasant smile. She took a small whiff and her stomach grumbled loudly in protest of her delay. Amelia smiled, immediately grabbed the nearest bowl, and began to enjoy her meal. At the same time, she didn't forget to serve some food into Shen Li's bowl.

"Ah..... eating human food is such a bliss," she murmured with an ecstatic smile.

Murong Jinzhi raised his brows. Human food?

What does she mean?

Is she not human?

Is she someone just like him?

And, why was she eating so fast? Nobody is going to grab her food!!!

His eyes narrowed and a strange look flashed through his eyes. His deep eyes stared at her innocent face and began to observe her actions carefully. Looking at the way, she was gobbling all that food gave him an illusion as if she was mistreated and not been fed for several months which he knew was wrong.

After all, she was General Jiang's beloved daughter and everyone in the capital knows how much that man doted on this daughter and spoiled her to the extreme. It was highly impossible for this woman to starve or get mistreated in the Jiang Mansion.

Soon, Amelia frowned and took a pause. She noticed a strange silence in the room with many pairs of eyes looking at her. She frowned and looked up. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she gave them a confused look. "What's wrong? Why is everyone looking at me?"

"Miss Jiang, are you being starved at the Jiang Mansion?"

"What? No!" she shook her head, brushing off the strange question.

But soon, she realized the reason why the Crown Prince questioned her. She looked at the big table and realized that she ended up eating most of the food on the table. Even Shen Li was sitting beside her and had not touched his food, yet.

Amelia smiled sheepishly with an embarrassed look on her face. "That... I just have a big appetite."

Murong Jinzhi stared at her and then his eyes fell onto her stomach. She looked so small, so thin that he couldn't help but wonder, where all of that food was going.

Amelia noticed his eyes on her stomach and coughed lightly. "Crown Prince, aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat along with me?" she suggested.

Murong Jinzhi took one look at the table and saw that there was not much left to eat anyways. Amelia too, look at the table and realized that there was nothing much left for the Crown Prince to eat. The only thing that remained on the table was some of her half-eaten food, some side dishes, her sweet cakes, and Shen Li's uneaten food.

Obsiovoulsy, she couldn't serve the dignified Crown Prince, any of this food. With an apologetic look, on her face, she looked back at the Crown Prince and their eyes met. She smiled, "I-I...."

"It's fine. I am not hungry," he said. "You can continue."

Hearing that, Amelia gave another good person card to Murong Jinzhi in her mind. He was such a nice person. She couldn't understand how could people spread such malicious rumors about him being cold, cruel, and not easy to get along with.

However, the manager standing on the side couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing how this waste woman with no talents was treating his highness, the Crown Prince, he was enraged. "How dare you!!!! Miss Jiang, how could you even think of -"

"That's enough!" Murong Jinzhi raised his hand and his cold eyes fell on the manager.

A vast amount of pressure was released and the temperature of the room dropped instantly. A murderous aura hit the trembling manager and he quickly fell onto his knees, pleading guilty and apologizing for his mistake. His entire back was covered in sweat, with his skin turning white and blood dripping down his nose.

"C-crown Prince.... p-please.... please have mercy on this servant," he stammered out in a low, painful voice.

All the shadow guards, along with the boss were shocked to see the anger of the Crown Prince. But, no one dared to step forward. The manager made a mistake by scolding Miss Jiang and then by stepping his nose in an unnecessary conversation. Since the beginning, the manager was constantly targeting Miss Jiang.

Every one of them could see that. Even though, they knew that Miss Jiang was at fault and everything that was going on inside the room was weird. However, since the Crown Prince, their master didn't say anything, who were they to take his place? The manager was simply acting stupid by interfering in the situation more than it was necessary.

Their job as the Crown Prince's servant was to do what he said and follow his commands obediently. Hence, the manager was being punished for overstepping his boundaries.

Inside the room, all of them had their focus on the manager, and hence, they failed to notice Amelia's situation. The moment Amelia smelled blood inside the room, her eyes flashed red. Her long nails protruded out and she grabbed the armrest of her couch to stop herself from sucking a person dry in front of everyone else.

She removed her eyes from the blood on the ground, stopped breathing, and tried to think of something else. However, Murong Jinzhi noticed her situation. His eyes deepened and a strange idea came to his mind.

Was this woman getting affected by blood?

Strange but very interesting!!!

At the same time, he also understood one more thing. The little boy beside Jiang Yuyu seemed to know her secret. Instead of looking at the trembling servant, the boy's eyes were on the woman and he looked quite concerned and worried for her. From him, Murong Jinzhi could sense a feeling of fear and it confirmed his guesses.

He smirked slowly and glanced back at the trembling servant. He snorted coldly, "The one you should apologize to is not me."

The manager was shocked. Though he was unwilling in his heart, he still managed to give an apology because of the tremendous aura of his Master. "Miss Jiang, I am deeply sorry. I overstepped my boundaries as a servant and -"

"Just clean the blood and leave the room," Amelia spoke through gritted teeth.

Hatred and anger flashed through the manager's eyes but recalling the Crown Prince's cold eyes, he complied with Jiang Yuyu's words. He quickly brought in some servants to clean the blood inside the room.

What an ungrateful and arrogant woman!!!

He was apologizing to her, yet, she didn't let him complete. Humph! Apparently, the rumors about the beloved daughter of the Jiang family were all true. Miss Jiang was nothing more than a spoiled woman with no brains or manners. She was a waste and an arrogant woman who looked down on others.
