Chapter 475: 475
The meal Mr . Song had prepared was in fact a banquet of delicacies enough to feed a roomful of people . The dishes ranged from Chinese to Western-style cuisine, which made Glutton Xia’s eyes pop . She was over the moon and one could almost see pink bubbles rise out of her head .

After exchanging some pleasantries, Mr . Song announced that it was time to eat and An Xiaxia happily dove into her food .
Mr . Song smiled at An Xiaxia, whose cheeks were puffed up with all the food in her mouth . He blurted out, “I hope you’ll feel at home here . ”
“Thank you, Uncle,” An Xiaxia mumbled, and the light in Mr . Song’s eyes dimmed a little .
Sheng Yize put some of An Xiaxia’s favorite food on her plate and cautioned her, “Slow down . Your stomach will burst like this . ”
As it turned out, An Xiaxia overate in the end .
She never been so voracious, but all the dishes today just happened to be her favorites .
There was so much to choose from that she had a hard time deciding what to eat . Before she realized it, she was stuffed .

Luckily, Mr . Song behaved like the perfect gentleman and offered to serve them some tea . Embarrassed, Sheng Yize helped An Xiaxia sit down on the sofa and began to rub her plump belly .
“You pig!” he said scornfully .
An Xiaxia gave him an aggrieved look, pushed his hand aside, and began to rub herself .
Mr . Song stared at An Xiaxia with unblinking eyes, as if he didn’t want to miss any of her lively facial expressions .
Sheng Yize found his reaction odd and said calmly, “Uncle Song, Xiaxia still has a tutoring session later . I better send her back . ”
His casual probing brought an anxious look to Mr . Song’s face .
He cleared his throat and said, “I’d really like you to stay for a bit longer . I’ve prepared some refreshments for you . ”

He clapped his hands and a few maids brought out some exquisite pastries . An Xiaxia struggled to sit up, but was thwarted by her plump belly .
If only another person knew how torturous it was to see delicious food but be unable to eat it…
Sheng Yize darted a look at the refreshments and smirked .
They were all An Xiaxia’s favorites again .
He had noticed this during the meal . It was too much of a coincidence and he was certain that Mr . Song must have investigated An Xiaxia’s preferences!
“Yize, there’s something I need to talk to Xiaxia about . ” Mr . Song turned to him and spoke in a pleading voice .
Sheng Yize raised an eyebrow . “Sure . ”

The cat was almost out of the bag .
He rubbed An Xiaxia’s hair and put her phone in her hand, reminding her in a low voice to call him if things didn’t feel right . He then followed the butler out and went for a walk in the garden at the back .
With much difficulty, An Xiaxia sat up straight, looking like a primary school student whose homework was about to be checked . Mr . Song found her utterly amusing and chuckled despite himself .
“Xiaxia… you’re such a lovely kid…” He sighed with emotion .
An Xiaxia smiled dryly, still seeing him as one of those weird uncles .
He had been staring at her the whole time, which was creepy .
“Actually, I have a presumptuous request . I need a favor from you…” Mr . Song sighed and gazed at An Xiaxia intensely .
An Xiaxia replied, “Um… Please tell me what it is and I’ll do what I can!”
Mr . Song picked up a cup of tea and took a few sips . The air was filled with the fragrance of the tea .
“I learned how absurd Songsong was being before, and I’d like to apologize to you and Yize on her behalf… I’ll do everything I can to make it up to you two,” said Mr . Song slowly .
An Xiaxia gave a hollow laugh without saying anything .
She couldn’t forgive Song Qingchen for what she had done .
“Songsong was diagnosed with aplastic anemia in her most recent physical exam… She had a meltdown abroad and I brought her back to get her treated… So far, a bone marrow transplant is still the most promising treatment…” An Xiaxia was baffled by the look Mr . Song gave her .
How did that have anything to do with her?!
