330 Dowagers order (1/2)

”Hmm…” she moaned happily after she swallowed them. So delicious. So good.

He reached for his glass of water and drank it hurriedly. He even adjusted his sitting position to ease the not so comfortable feeling.

Why was she using that sound? Didn't she know the effect it would bring to him?

Why was she torturing him like this?

Was it fun seeing him in misery?

She reached for her drink and sipped it slowly. Because she still needed to study afterwards, she did not drink any alcoholic drink. He too did not touch it because he still wanted to help her with her study. They were only served with hot tea to pair with delicious but spicy food.

”Do you need more water or tea?” she asked when she noticed he did not touch any food. She saw the empty glass and even the small porcelain cup was empty too. Did he only drink but not eating? ”Are you okay, J?”

She finally noticed him, he thought sourly. Not once since the food arrived did she look at him. She made so many seductive voice when eating without caring how it would affect her. Now, once she was done eating then she noticed him.

How low could his position be in her heart?

Not knowing what inside his mind, she simply stood up and helped to pour another cup of tea for him. She sipped her tea with a satisfied sigh.

”This place is good. You should bring your family here too,” she commented as she rubbed her full stomach.

He just drank his tea without another word.

She narrowed her eyes at him when she finally noticed how tense the atmosphere was. What was wrong with him today? Why was he acting so weird? He did not even touch his food!

”J, are you alright?” she repeated back her question.

He crossed his arms and sulked.

She sighed. Why did it feel like he was blaming her for his bad mood? What did she do wrong?

”Whatever,” she muttered too lazy to break her head trying to coax this sulking man. He was no longer a kid, acting this childish.

She stood up and prepared to leave the room. There was no sign for her to come and acting all coy and loving toward Jeremy. In her mind was full of bed. She wanted to sleep now after her hunger was appeased.

”Wait, are you leaving me here?” he sputtered when he realized she had no thought of coming to coax him. He quickly stood up and walked to her hurriedly. ”Ryn, why are you so heartless?”

”Am I?” she replied back, ”Or are you being too childish?”

”You…” she sighed. She could see how tired he was and her expression softened. Slowly she reached out and wrapped around his neck, pulling him to lower his head.

”Better?” she asked after the kiss ended.

He blinked his eyes.

She smiled and took his hand. ”Let's go home. I'm exhausted.”

He could only follow her, still trying to understand what just happened. Did they just kiss just now? He blinked his eyes again.

Two days later…

She came out with a huge smile on her face. Finally, it was the end of her exam. No more study to do, no more all-nighter just to memorise the notes. And she could focus on her work while waiting for her industrial training to start. Oh yes, she needed to discuss this with Mei Li and adjusted back all her work schedules.
