He was already sitting on one of the sofas. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around to look at her. There was still a hint of dominance in his eyes.
"If you still don't come over in another three minutes, I'll have to go over to pick you up personally." After he said that, he glanced at the sofa beside him and said in a deep voice, "Come and sit down."
When she heard that, her face turned a little red.
"Then you can eat by yourself. Why do you have to eat with me? It's so troublesome." She walked over and sat down on another sofa which was very soft and comfortable.
"If you don't accompany me, I won't have an appetite," he said flatly, explaining his current behavior.
Her face was a little hot, and she faintly felt redder than before.
She hurriedly lowered her head. "Speaking of which, am I still your appetizer?"
She said these words subconsciously, without any other meaning.
However, when Huangfu Qiye heard this, his gaze suddenly darkened. Then, he suddenly reached out and immediately held her hand. "You think so too, don't you? If that's the case, then come over and let me have an appetizer."
She didn't know if it was because she had experienced something, so after hearing his words and having her hand held by him, she immediately understood what he meant. She hurriedly explained, "I...I didn't mean that. Don't misunderstand me."
"But I think it's pretty good after a misunderstanding. Be obedient and come over." He laughed lightly, and his pale face finally had a sense of vigor.
However, she was extremely nervous. "I really said it casually. I was joking. Don't take it seriously."
"I will take everything you say seriously." He stared at her seriously.
"Are you sure?" Her hand was held by him and she couldn't shake it off, so she asked patiently.
"What do you think?"
"Well, I'm very uncomfortable with you holding my hand and I'm hungry. How about you let me eat first?" Her tone softened a lot as she tried to negotiate.
Huangfu Qiye stared at her for a few seconds before he finally let go of her hand and replied, "Okay."
Only then did he let go of her hand and take it back.
She rubbed the place where he had grabbed her and did not dare to look up at him, afraid that he would continue to ask.
Thus, she could only lower her head and pick up her chopsticks, eating non-stop.
However, after eating for a while, she realized that he had not touched his chopsticks and was just sitting quietly on the spot.
She slowly raised her head and looked over. As expected, he did not pick up his chopsticks and did not eat anything.
"Why aren't you eating?" Her mouth was full of delicious food. She was surprised that he was not attracted and tempted by these delicacies.
"I'm not hungry now." Huangfu Qiye glanced at her, then suddenly stood up and walked to the balcony next to the window, leaving her a cold view of his back.
Was he angry again?
His mood always changed very quickly, and Tang Xiaowei was also used to it.
So after seeing him leave, she couldn't be bothered to care about him and continued to eat with her head lowered.
On the other side, although Huangfu Qiye's back was facing her, his heart was filled with unspeakable displeasure.
It was not that he didn't want to eat, but because his arm was bandaged, he couldn't pick up the chopsticks and the spoon at all.
However, he didn't want to be ashamed in front of her because of these reasons, so he didn't eat.
"I'm done eating. Why don't you eat?" Suddenly, her voice sounded from behind him.
He had been standing on the balcony for a while. Tang Xiaowei's body wasn't very good now, so her appetite was much smaller. After eating a bowl of rice, she couldn't eat anymore.
Seeing that he was still standing on the balcony, and that he hadn't eaten anything, she walked over secretly.
Hearing her voice, Huangfu Qiye turned around, ignoring the injuries on his body, and suddenly carried her into his arms.
She was stunned for a moment, and her face was pressed against the bandage on his chest, unable to come back to her senses.
"I want you to feed me," Huangfu Qiye said. His tone wasn't probing, but rather domineering.
"Why?" She really wanted to refuse, but she suddenly remembered that he was injured, so she bit her lip and replied softly, "Okay, then let me go first, and then we'll go and sit down."
Huangfu Qiye nodded and then let go of her.
He knew that she wouldn't reject him. After all, he was already injured to this extent, and he had heard her confession with his own ears when they were in the basement.
Would a woman who had confessed to him be willing to let him starve while he was injured like this?
The answer was: No!
That was why he wanted to wait for her to be full before letting her help him with his food.
The two of them returned to the sofa and sat down. Tang Xiaowei unconsciously pulled the sofa closer to him, so that it would be easier to feed him.
Before she fed him, she saw all the bandages on his arms. He looked like a mummy now, so she naturally started to feed him without thinking too much about it.
Huangfu Qiye accepted her feeding him happily. After eating a few mouthfuls of the rice that she fed him, he reminded her, "Don't keep feeding me rice. I can eat vegetables."
"Oh, oh, I forgot." She was stunned, then quickly picked up a lot of food for him.
Although she didn't mind feeding him, she started to feel embarrassed after getting too close, so she forgot to pick up food for him.
After being reminded by him, her face became a little hot, but she made up her mind not to look at his eyes and only stared at his lips. This way, she could feed him easily without feeling uncomfortable because of the close distance between them.
"When did you know you were pregnant?" When she finished feeding him a bowl of rice and was about to take her hand back, Huangfu Qiye held her hand and stared at her with a deep gaze.
"Ah?" Her hand trembled. She was about to feed him, so why did he suddenly mention this?
"I asked you when you knew that you were pregnant?" In other words, how long had she been hiding the fact that she was pregnant from him?
Tang Xiaowei began to daydream. She remembered the day she knew that she was pregnant.
Her mood suddenly became bad.
She pushed his hand away, put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and prepared to leave. "Since you've finished eating, I'll go back first."
She wanted to leave, but Huangfu Qiye would not allow her to.
He also stood up and grabbed her hand. He was so strong that he almost crushed her arm.
"Tell me clearly before you leave. When did you find out? Why did you hide it from me for so long?"
She did not give him an answer. His heart was still confused..
"Do you really want to know?" Tang Xiaowei wanted to shake off his hand again, but unfortunately, he realized that he might have just been shaken off, so he grabbed her hand so hard that she could not break free at all.
