While Nian Xiaomu devoured the dumplings happily, her big pair of eyes sparkled brightly as her eyelashes fluttered prettily.
Suddenly, a napkin fell from above and landed wholly and tightly upon her face.
It was so shocking that she froze in her seat.
She immediately yanked the napkin away from her face, and it fell onto the dumpling in her hand, revealing the stunned expression on her face…
Who was I? Where was I? What happened?
“You’re so filthy when you eat. Are you a pig?”Yu Yuehan met with her blank stare and pretended to look disgusted with her. Then, he let out a light cough to hide his reaction.
Nian Xiaomu: “…!!”
She was only eating a dumpling. How was that like a pig?
He was the pig!
Then, when she noticed that he was glaring at the corners of her lips, she subconsciously lifted her hand to touch the corners of her mouth.
When her fingers touched the gravy, she realized what was going on and quickly pulled out a napkin to clean her mouth.
Her eyes met with Chen Zixin’s smiling eyes, and she let out an awkward smile. “I’m sorry. This must be so silly to you, President Chen Jr.”
“Oh, not at all. The way you look when you eat is adorable.” Chen Zixin did not disguise his feelings toward her.
Although Sheng Da Science and Technology did not match up to the Yu Corporation, it was considered a large enterprise. There was no lack of young ladies from distinguished families who were interested in Chen Zixin, but Chen Zixin did not find them as attractive as the innocent and unpretentious Nian Xiaomu.
As he spoke, he pushed the food in front of him toward Nian Xiaomu.
“Try this. It’s delicious too.”
“Okay!” Nian Xiaomu’s eye lit up once she saw good food in front of her. She picked up a piece of white pastry and sent it into her mouth.
After taking two bites, she smiled contently.
“This is so yummy too!”
“The mini wontons are not bad at this place either. The wrapping is thin while the fillings are generous…” Chen Zixin seemed quite serious about his food too. As he gracefully ate his meal, he recommended more dishes to Nian Xiaomu.
The two of them not only ate in delight, but also chatted in delight.
Yu Yuehan sat by the side and watched how Nian Xiaomu was completely disregarding him while appearing to want to lean even closer to Chen Zixin as she listened to him. Yu Yuehan’s perfect face began to turn dark, and he silently began releasing cold air into the room.
“Why does it feel a little chilly suddenly?” Nian Xiaomu was sitting next to Yu Yuehan, and subconsciously shrank her neck inward.
When she turned to the side, she saw that Yu Yuehan had not touched the dishes in front of him at all.
“Why aren’t you eating, Young Master? This tastes really good.” As Nian Xiaomu spoke, she looked as if she felt sorry that the food might go to waste. She grabbed Yu Yuehan’s chopsticks, picked up a dumpling, and sent it to his mouth.
“It’s seriously yummy. I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, have a bite!”
“…” Yu Yuehan narrowed his eyes and looked at Nian Xiaomu, who had leaned toward him to try to feed him a dumpling.
From the corner of his eye, he could see a dejected Chen Zixin. The corners of Yu Yuehan’s lips curled upward as he opened his mouth and took a bite of the dumpling.
The taste of the crab roe spread throughout the insides of his mouth.
He knitted his brow. He did not like this taste.
Yet, when he was met with Nian Xiaomu’s look of antic.i.p.ation, the words that came out of his mouth strangely became, “It’s not bad.”
“I told you that it’s good. Eat quickly, otherwise you will be late for work.” As Nian Xiaomu spoke, she stuffed his chopsticks into his hands. Then, she picked up her own dumpling and continued to enjoy it.
The two men did not hurry her, but waited patiently for her to eat her fill before they asked the service staff for the bill.
Chen Zixin took out his credit card, but Yu Yuehan coolly said, “Put it on my tab.”
Then, he calmly rose from his seat and adjusted his suit slowly.
Turning toward Nian Xiaomu, he added, “If there’s anything else you want to eat, you can order some to go as well.”
