Chapter 1177 - Why Was the Atmosphere so Weird at the Crime Scene? (2/2)

“Sometimes I work very late. I put it in my bag in case I get hungry.” Nian Xi teasingly put the banana before his face and said, “Are you hungry?”

Jiang Yuning looked at the tempting banana. He was hungry indeed. He ate a lot of vegetables at every meal. Normally he would have had dinner long ago.
