Shen Chuwei sat down only after she saw him drink and continued eating grilled lamb, glancing at Xuetuan whose mouth was slick with grease, prompting a smile to curl at the corner of her lips.
Xiao Jinyan sipped his lemon honey tea, watching Shen Chuwei as she resumed her meal of grilled lamb, his gaze drifting down to her stomach. Last time he checked, her belly was quite flat without any extra flesh—how did she manage to fit so much food in there?
Feeling somewhat full, Shen Chuwei slowed her movements. She noticed Xiao Jinyan staring at her and asked, "Your Highness, what are you looking at?"
"Eat less, it's easier to digest," Xiao Jinyan advised.
"I'm in my growing phase; I need a balanced diet, otherwise, I won't grow tall," Shen Chuwei stated matter-of-factly.
Xiao Jinyan remembered that she only came up to his chin, indeed a bit shorter.
He measured Shen Chuwei from head to toe and quirked up a corner of his mouth, "It's not just height."
