Chapter 34 - My Woman Is Sad (1/2)

The meal was prepared at lightning speed, but it was still fragrant and delicious. It was made with the freshest organic ingredients that could be produced.

Although there were only five dishes and a soup, Yu Huiyin still felt that it was a bit too much for them alone, but she had understood not to complain about it.

She knew that Xie Jingyu had already compromised as much as he could. He was used to eating much more varied than what she was, but to not seem so extravagant, he had changed it to merely five dishes and a soup.

The two were eating together, but Xie Jingyu noticed that Yu Huiyin had a taste for prawns. However, her ability to deshell them was simply horrendous, so he began taking the shell off them and placed them in her bowl afterward.

Seeing this, Yu Huiyin, who had been more affected by the article about her half-sister than she had thought, suddenly felt a burst of warmth in her heart. Even if she did not have her mother any longer, she was no longer alone.

Even her ally was such a good person, helping and taking care of her, how could she possibly be unhappy?

The smile she had had so far had a bit of sadness within, and while Yu Huiyin had not noticed it, Xie Jingyu had seen her sadness. However, when he saw her smiling now, it was such a brilliant smile that he almost lost himself in looking at it, and his heart was beating rapidly; he was much more pleased looking at her like this.

The meal was eaten in silence, but the silence was not awkward. Instead, it was comfortable. Seeing how the shelled prawns appeared in her bowl one after another, she felt it amusing. Even if she liked prawns, there was no way she could finish them all.

Without overthinking about it, she used her chopsticks to pick one of the prawns and feed it to Xie Jingyu, after which she continued to eat with her head held low, and sometimes she would feed Xie Jingyu with prawns.

Xie Jingyu was feeling blissful. He had started peeling prawns for Yu Huiyin because she liked the prawns, but he was getting something extra in the shape of being fed by her. He was simply over the moon.

Yu Huiyin was unaware that her actions had caused such happiness to appear in Xie Jingyu's heart. Yu Huiyin did not think too much about it. She just felt that he was kind to her, so she should return the favor. Also, he was the one shelling them all, so he should be able to taste their deliciousness.

After the meal, Yu Huiyin looked at her stomach, her hands touching it gently. ”I am so stuffed,” she said with a bit of regret. ”I did not think that, one day, I would eat so much. I will become a little piggy.”
