Chapter 1114: Chapter 1114: I Like It a Little Rougher (Part 4)
Gan Yuan lifted her gaze, gratefully staring into the boy’s bright eyes, “Of course, I’d love to!”
Andre smiled, “Then let’s discuss the specifics in a little while.”
Beside them, Chongchong reached over, placing the seasoning bottle by his hand.
Having grown up together, she naturally knew his taste.
“Thank you.”
Andre busily expressed his gratitude, and Chongchong turned her face to smile at him.
By helping and actively lowering his stature to offer assistance, he was already giving enough face to his elder brother and sister-in-law, for which Chongchong was naturally full of gratitude.
No matter what, he was the Prince, and at a time when F Country was in trouble, he could have easily taken the opportunity to propose some harmless demands to F Country.
But Andre didn’t ask for anything. He didn’t even wait for Gan Yuan to ask for his help; he had already offered it voluntarily, which was enough to move her.
The seasoning bottle was actually within Andre’s reach, yet she personally handed it to him as a way of expressing her gratitude.
Because this was such a formal dinner, Chongchong had applied a delicate light makeup, styled her long hair into an elegant Princess bun, and adorned her hair with a bright yellow sunflower near her ear.
When she turned her face and smiled at him, all the sounds and everything around them dissipated instantly; in his eyes, there was only her beautiful profile. Andre was mesmerized by her beauty, forgetting that he was still holding the seasoning bottle and adding seasoning.
Chongchong let out a small cry of surprise and quickly reached over to steady his hand.
At this moment, Andre came back to his senses, hurriedly retracting his hand, looking at the small mountain of seasoning sauce piled on the steak, feeling his cheeks heat up with embarrassment.
Everyone’s eyes shifted over to them, and Chongchong extended a spoon, thoughtfully scooping away half of the sauce and placing it back on her plate, resolving the steak crisis for him.
As the Prince, embarrassing himself at such a banquet would definitely make others laugh. She chuckled and poured the sauce on her steak, saying, “I like it a bit more flavorful!”
Andre leaned closer, asking softly, “Won’t it be salty?”
“It’s fine.” She laughed indifferently, then forked a piece of steak into her mouth, tasting it, and swallowing the slightly spicy-salty steak with effort, displaying a contented smile, “Mmm… just right!”
The minor incident at the dining table passed like that, and everyone continued eating their food and chatting, no longer paying attention to Andre’s steak.
Glancing sideways, watching her carefully push the sauce to the side, Andre checked that no one was watching and quickly transferred the remaining large piece of steak from her plate to his.
When Chongchong turned to look at him, he swapped his steak back onto her plate.
He used his fork to hold down the steak, chatting casually with a congressman seated beside him while cutting the steak.
With so many people watching, Chongchong found it inappropriate to stop him from eating the steak; his glass was on the other side and inconvenient for her to reach, so she hurriedly offered her water glass to him.
A bite of steak entered his mouth, and Andre was immediately overwhelmed by the spiciness, unable to spit it out in front of so many people, he had to swallow it bravely.
Grabbing the cup Chongchong had given him, he downed a glass of water in one gulp, only then did the irritation in his throat subside, and turning to look at her, he smiled to reassure her that he was okay.
Chongchong looked at him with a mix of amusement and exasperation, silently calling him an idiot in her heart, yet her hand already reaching over to refill his cup from the bottle on the table.

Good afternoon.
