“… Just eat nicely,” Tao Yu looked at him speechlessly, picking up her chopsticks to eat seriously. After a few bites, she noticed no movement beside her and glanced over to see the alter ego with a flushed face and misty eyes, looking like a naive and innocent spring breeze.
She was stunned for a moment, racking her brain to remember her last words… So he became like this because of the word “good”?
Before she could ask, Yue Linze cleared his throat and said seriously: “Although I hate others treating me like a child, your words are an exception.”
… Fine, he was giving her special treatment. Facing the alter ego’s special care, Tao Yu laughed: “Thank you.
Yue Linze’s face reddened slightly, and he lowered his head to start eating. Tao Yu looked at him amusedly but didn’t tease him, and after the meal, she returned to her room with the maid. It wasn’t until dusk that Yue Linze came back from outside.
Seeing his tired expression, Tao Yu went up to meet him: “Why are you back so late?”
“I helped the steward see off the guests. Have you been waiting for a long time?” Yue Linze looked at her with heated eyes.
Tao Yu felt a slight sweat on her back under his intense gaze, and her face gradually grew warm. Although she was somewhat familiar with him, they hadn’t had much contact, and suddenly switching to a husband-wife mode made her feel quite uncomfortable.
But despite her discomfort, facing his sincere gaze, Tao Yu still nodded. Yue Linze laughed upon seeing this, and drove all the maids out of the room, with such an eager manner that Tao Yu blushed on his behalf.
When only the two of them were left in the room, Yue Linze suddenly turned back and pulled Tao Yu’s hand, running towards the bed.
Tao Yu was startled by his actions, and after being half-forcibly pressed onto the bed, she nervously asked, “Isn’t this a bit too rushed?”
Yue Linze paused, slowly widening his eyes: “I’ve been waiting all day, of course I’m eager.”
Tao Yu was helpless, and steeling her heart, said: “Fine.” Compromising her principles wasn’t something new, and she was getting used to it.
