By the time she finished tidying up and went downstairs, Mu Yingchen was elegantly perched on the living room sofa with his legs crossed, leisurely flipping through TV channels with the remote in hand.
It seemed he heard her coming downstairs and shifted his gaze in her direction.
As Su Wanxia descended the stairs, she silently cursed Mu Yingchen in her mind. Her legs were nearly killing her after climbing so many stairs, and now she had to endure his torment - all because of him. He was such a jerk!
Caught up in the joy of her mental rant, she was surprised to turn her head and see him sitting on the sofa, intently gazing at her.
Feeling suddenly guilty, her eyes darted around restlessly.
In her skittish glances, however, she caught sight of something that lifted her spirits. The dining table was brimming with an array of colorful dishes, making her eyes sparkle with delight.
Ravenous, she was seriously on the brink of starvation!
