His gaze lingered on the side of her face, observing her long-absent features, when Mu Tianye spoke softly, "How will you thank me?"
"As the saying goes, 'A drop of water shall be returned with a gushing spring.' This humble girl has neither money nor possessions, I only have…" Ning Xiaofei raised a hand, fished something out of her pocket, and offered it to him with a mischievous smile, "Chocolate for a pledge!"
The cheeky girl, was she teasing him on purpose?!
Mu Tianye raised an eyebrow in displeasure, "I don't eat this kind of stuff."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Ning Xiaofei lifted her hand, popped the chocolate into her mouth, and chewed with evident relish, "This was brought back from abroad by Sister Zhang's husband, truly a delicacy of this world…"
Watching her lips purse and pout with each chew, the man's dark eyes narrowed.
"I want some too!"
