“What?” Yu Yuehan was busy feeding Xiao Liuliu to keep her from talking. When he raised his head, he missed what Nian Xiaomu had said.

  “No, nothing. Eat.” Nian Xiaomu lost her courage.

  She looked down and started to eat.

  Xiao Liuliu’s words echoed in her mind.

  Did he not rest well these days because of her?

  But, he said it was due to his work … Nian Xiaomu glanced at him secretly.

  He was focused on feeding Xiao Liuliu and did not notice what she was doing.

  Nian Xiaomu couldn’t tell from his expressions either.

  She wanted to ask him about his relationship with Zheng Yan, she wanted to know if he missed her. But, she was timid and just focused on eating.

  Mouth by mouth, she ate until she was bloated.

  Xiao Liuliu was full too. She rubbed her tummy and pushed Yu Yuehan’s hand away.

  “I’m not eating anymore. I am full!”


  “…”


  Finally, Yu Yuehan put down her bowl. Nian Xiaomu couldn’t help but remind him, “You should eat too. The dishes are getting cold.”


  They never had to worry about Xiao Liuliu eating and he had never fed Xiao Liuliu like this either. What was wrong today?

  Before Nian Xiaomu could figure it out, Xiao Liuliu had continued speaking.

  “Mommi, Xiao Liuliu misses you. Everyday I miss you.”


  “Daddi misses you too. In the middle of the night, he will come to my room, kiss me and tell me that he misses Mommi. He thinks that I don’t hear it…”


  “Cough, cough.” Yu Yuehan choked on his food.

  He reached out for the cup beside him and realized that it was empty.

  “I have water.” Nian Xiaomu passed her cup to him without a second thought. Yu Yuehan drank it without hesitation.

  Then they were stunned.

  Yu Yuehan looked at the empty cup in his hand.

  That was her cup…


  She drank from it.

  Was this considered at an indirect kiss?

  His gaze deepened.

  Nian Xiaomu thought of the same question. Then, she explained remembered the awkward situation they were in and explained, “I was afraid that you would choke, so…”


  “I know.” Yu Yuehan calmly passed the cup back to her and said, “Thank you.”


  Then, they both returned to their original states of having nothing much to say.

  As for Xiao Liuliu, Yu Yuehan asked the butler to carry her out.

  “Daddi wants to take advantage of Mommi and thinks I am annoying…” Xiao Liuliu’s voice floated back into the dining room.

  The two sat at the dining table looked guilty.

  Nian Xiaomu was actually full.

  However, she did not leave. She couldn’t bear to. She wanted to look at him a bit longer.

  Yu Yuehan could tell that she was full too. But, he did not ask her. He wanted her to stay by him as he ate too.

  “Do you want any soup?” Yu Yuehan asked.

  “Okay.” Nian Xiaomu passed him her bowl and watched him fill it with soup.

  She sipped the soup and secretly watched him eat.

  He looked really good when he was eating—he did not gobble his food and it took no real effort.
