Chapter 17
Are You Trying to Stuff Yourself to Death?
When Jian Dan opened the door after taking a shower, Chu Liyuan was standing at the door.
What was going on?
She was startled by him.
He pulled Jian Dan and pinned her against the wall outside the bathroom. Jian Dan was shocked by Chu Liyuan’s sudden action. Her heart—which had just calmed down—began to beat wildly again.
Going by the way things are unfolding, what would happen next would be…
Chu Liyuan looked at the lass in front of him. Water dripped from her hair onto her shoulders. Her body emitted a faint fragrance that constantly stimulated Chu Liyuan’s senses.
Ever since this woman fell sick—coupled with his previous business trip—he had endured it for long enough.
Chu Liyuan looked at the woman in front of him and his breathing quickened… He carried Jian Dan and placed his hands on her back.
Jian Dan wrapped her arms around Chu Liyuan’s neck.
Jian Dan did not know how to react and could only let him kiss her. Jian Dan closed her eyes and responded clumsily.
Chu Liyuan felt Jian Dan’s response and carried her…
Zzz… Zzz… Zzz… The vibration of her cell phone woke Jian Dan up. Jian Dan picked up the cell phone and saw that it was already six in the morning… Jian Dan sat up straight, lowered her head… and blushed.
After washing up, she put on a T-shirt with a higher collar and jeans before going downstairs. Chu Liyuan was already having breakfast downstairs.
She came to the dining table…
Why didn’t Chu Liyuan look tired at all? Why was he so energetic?
Then, she looked at herself. Her body was extremely sore.
She was clearly the younger one! Logically speaking, she should be the one with the better stamina.
No, it seemed like she had to eat more for breakfast to replenish her strength. Otherwise, how would she have the strength to deal with the task today?
Jian Dan picked up a custard bun and placed it in her mouth. Her cheeks immediately puffed up. Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan’s puffed-up face and the corners of his mouth curled up again, especially when he saw that Jian Dan’s mouth was clearly stuffed, but she was still stuffing more food into it. Furthermore, her hands were already holding the egg scroll and barbecued pork bun.
What was wrong with this lass today? Was she trying to stuff herself to death?
“Are you trying to stuff yourself to death?” Chu Liyuan teased.
Ever since Chu Liyuan met Jian Dan, he was no longer himself.
“I want…” As Jian Dan’s mouth was stuffed with food, her words were unclear.
“What?” Chu Liyuan could not catch what she was saying.
Jian Dan had already swallowed the custard bun. “I want to replenish my strength!” She then stuffed the egg scroll into her mouth.
However, because the egg roll was slightly bigger than the custard bun, Jian Dan choked a little. She quickly drank a few mouthfuls of porridge before swallowing the egg roll.
“Why do you want to replenish your strength?” Chu Liyuan asked in a delphic tone.
This lass was really interesting. She actually “seduced” him so early in the morning.
Jian Dan was shocked. She leaned back and was about to fall. Fortunately, Chu Liyuan was quick enough to hold onto her. Otherwise, she would definitely have landed on her butt.
This caused the two of them to become very close… Jian Dan hurriedly widened the distance between the two of them. “Of… Of course it’s for… work!” Jian Dan lowered her head and ate the porridge.
It was too awkward. If there was a hole in the ground now, Jian Dan would definitely crawl into it without a word.
Seeing this, Chu Liyuan stopped teasing her. “You can’t eat like this in the future. Your stomach will burst,” Chu Liyuan said gently.
“Okay! Got it,” Jian Dan replied obediently.
“Let’s go. I’ll send you to work.”
