ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY Chapter 25 - Murderous Gaze

When Liang's handshake was declined by his brother, he sat again on his spot in an uncaring manner to reduce his awkwardness. At this Grandfather started laughing and said, " Ming don't mind this stupid grandson of mine."

Ming nodded and smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, Mother Li invited them to the dining table for lunch. Liwei helped Ming to sit on the chair. Then the maid served the dishes.

All the dishes that served were authentic Chinese. Grandfather Jin is a traditional man who cares about culture and traditions. And the food is the most important part of culture. Whenever they eat together they will eat authentic Chinese food. These dishes were made by Mother Jin.

When food was served everyone looked at Ming, who was looking at food in front of her. She just had traditional Chinese dishes in the breakfast. But this was also appetizing. She never had food made by her mother or mother in law but now she can have one. She smiled at this thought.

While she was thinking about this, she sensed other people's gazes on her and she looked up.

Then she asked, " what happened?"

Mother Li said, " Ming if you don't want to eat Chinese we can get you something else. You don't have to force yourself."

She asked because she knows that Grandfather Li had her sent to abroad for her higher studies and after coming back she doesn't like to eat Chinese food and always have western cuisine. Her also forget many formalities or manner because of living abroad for 7 years. His grandfather sent her abroad when she was only 15 years old. And it was easy for her to mend with people at that time. And after coming back she married Liwei and they were together for one year when she attempted suicide.

So whenever Ming visits Jin mansion she never ate Chinese.

Back to the present, when Ming heard Mother Jin said that, she said, " No mother. It's absolutely fine. I want to eat it and more than that I want to eat it because you made it" she said with a smile.

Mother Jin overwhelmed at this gesture of hers. Then she said, "but Ming you really don't have to force yourself. I know you don't like the Chinese. Why don't I get you a pasta or something ?"

Ming replied, " no mother it's fine. I think after being in coma my taste buds has changed because now I really like Chinese food. " she said awkwardly while remembering her previous odd behaviors. And then sighed.

Liwei also interrupted and said," yes Mom. Now she can eat Chinese. Even in the morning, she made the bunch of traditional Chinese dishes in breakfast and let me tell you, it's amazing. I am not exaggerating. But I had never eaten anything like that. If you eat that, you will make her cook every day. " he said proudly.

Seeing his son's boasting, Mother Jin laughed and said," okay. Okay. Now let's eat. "

They started eating. Mother Jin didn't forget to glance at Ming in between the meal, to check if she really enjoying or faking it. But to her surprise, Ming was actually gobbling everything that Liwei was serving her. She was eating so happy that she felt overwhelmed. And her son has now become 'proper husband' . She laughed at her thought.

While eating, everyone was glancing at Ming, because the way she eats was so elegant and proper. It was so unlike her. She sat back straightened, napkin on the lap, her chopsticks work in a way like she was dancing. She was chewing her food in an elegant manner. Everyone was shocked at this sight especially Jin Liang. She looked such beauty while eating. He never saw a woman look so beautiful while eating. He saw her eating while his mouth open.

He was in his trance when he suddenly felt chilly gaze on him, he turned and almost jumped in fear. His brother was staring at him with a murderous gaze. He immediately retracted his gaze and focused on his food.
