Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Breaking the Siege

Su Lu’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned away, saying, "Cry? I didn’t cry. I just ate some spicy barbecue, that’s all."

However, Su Zhe didn’t believe her for a second. He was already a rather persistent person, and now that he had been drinking, his natural traits were even more pronounced.

"Don’t try to fool me," Su Zhe said, his voice had cooled, not icy but stern, showing his extreme seriousness.

"I really didn’t," Su Lu said, a mix of laughing and crying.

She truly didn’t want to burden Su Zhe with her personal issues, and besides, people generally don’t like to lay their wounds open for others to critique.

However, Su Lu momentarily overlooked her brother’s sharpness, only realizing just now that even though Su Zhe had been drinking, his keenness was still unmatched.

Qiao Li came out of the kitchen holding a plate, "What happened? The atmosphere was quite harmonious earlier, what’s going on now?"

He was indeed very meticulous and attentive. He had actually cut the fruit just as Su Lu had joked earlier.

And probably because he had studied medicine before, his skill was exceptional. It’s just different when you have that kind of background.

The watermelon didn’t need to be deseeded as it was seedless, but the mango had been peeled and pitted, and all cut into neat, uniform dices slightly larger than fingernail pieces, each piece nearly identical in size.

The pieces were just the right size to avoid any worry of mango juice touching the skin around the mouth causing allergies, and if one still wanted more, they could simply scoop up a spoonful of fruit dices and enjoy.

The lychees, with thin skin and small seeds, were all peeled, pitted, and placed on the plate, their pale, tender flesh exuding a sweet fruity aroma.

As soon as Qiao Li came out, he sensed the discord between the siblings.
