Back in Yun Shan Shi Yi, she had locked herself in the room to make up for her lost sleep . That meant that she had not eaten anything since this morning .

“I want… to eat first!”

She told him clearly .

He carried her in his arms in the next second .

Her world swirled for a moment as her feet left the ground .

Before long, she was buoyed into the dining table by him .

She tried getting off him, but he resisted . With his strong and long arms hugging her waist, he firmly embraced her on his lap .

His chest was st.u.r.dy and warm, and it was broad enough to accommodate her entire being .

She bit her lower lip as her whole being was embraced entirely by him close to his chest; her two legs draped loosely on his legs . He carried her now as if he were holding a child .

Through the thin fabric of his shirt, she could feel the strong thumping of his heart .

Her face instantly blushed crimson .

She renewed her struggle to break free from his embrace .

His low, magnetic voice rang above her head just in time . “Don"t move, or I"ll let you feed me now . ”

He had suppressed his urge to the best of his apt.i.tude .

Knowing how hungry she was, he was doing his best to hold back .

If she were so much as to move, his bulwark might just disintegrate with a rousing consequence .

He pressed the silver-colored service bell on the table, and the flavorful dishes were quickly served one by one thereafter .

The table was just the right size to hold the 18-course delectable meal .

The ambrosial food a.s.saulted their senses; they were wholly immersed in this astounding sea of appetizing aroma .

French pigeon meat pine tart .

Black truffle tomato tartare with fresh oysters .

Orange foie gras sauce…

Every menu item laid on the table was the ultimate, leading European cuisine, enticing enough to hook anyone"s appet.i.te .

She stared with dumbfounded eyes at all these presented dishes . Every menu item was exquisite like a piece of expensive art . They looked so lovely that she felt reluctant to use her utensils on them for fear of spoiling the beautiful sight .

However, her tummy was calling out to her relentlessly . The saliva secreted inside her oral cavity was especially active . She swallowed a mouthful, an obvious sign of her extreme hunger .

He smiled slightly as his palm stroked her growling tummy . She looked really hungry!

Hence, with one hand on her waist, he picked up a fork with another .

“What do you want to eat?”

She quickly quipped in embarra.s.sment, “I"ll feed myself!”

“Let me feed you . ”

“Not necessary; I"ll do it myself . ” She insisted .

He pinched her face and kindly reminded her . “We have an agreement that I"ll feed you first . Retain your strength for later when you"re the one feeding me . ”

Her cheeks burned with his words .

“You don"t have to…”

He reiterated slowly, “I"ll feed you . ”

His tone told her that his words were not dismissible .

In the end, she gave up and let him cater to her .

He picked up a piece of steak cut into bite size and slowly brought it next to her mouth .

She bit into it easily . The delicious juicy gravy oozing from the tender meat overfilled her mouth . It was soft yet firm with a great texture .

“Is it delicious?”

“Delicious…” It was so tasty she almost did not bother replying .

Her eyes laid squarely on the tableful of delights while her face expressed an ultimate contentment .

He was not into French cuisine, though .

After all, no matter how tasty something could be, one could get tired of it once eaten too often .
