By the time he got home, Auntie Liu had already prepared dinner.

When she saw the dishes, the girl's happy face immediately collapsed. ”Why is it all vegetarian again? Auntie, are you trying to feed the rabbits?!”

Huo Tinton pulled the chair out from under the seat and placed the white napkin neatly folded in front of him. ”These dishes were ordered by me to be prepared by your Auntie Liu.”

Ye Jinxin grimaced, ”Why didn't you give me meat to eat?”

”Your medical report shows you lack all kinds of vitamins, especially vitamin B.”

”And then?”

”In order to replenish the nutrients missing from your body, all of the vegetables and fruits will be here in the near future.”

”Huo Tindong, you mistreated me.”

”I'm not abusing you.” ”I hate you. The doctor said that the thing you lack the most is vitamin B, which is the main reason why you haven't grown up yet.”

Ye Jinxin's face suddenly turned red, ”How am I not growing?” His expression was arrogant, but his tone was obviously lacking in confidence.

Huo Tindong cast a sidelong glance at her, but did not comment.

When Ye Jin saw his expression, she stretched her neck and narrowed her eyes hatefully. ”The reason why I can't grow tall is because you mistreated me. It's not like I lack any vitamin B …”

”If you insist on eating for two days, we can discuss everything,” he said, tapping the edge of her plate with his green broccoli. If you mess with me, the meat will probably be insulated from you forever. ”

Ye Jin knew in his heart that he had always kept his word, and she had to endure it for the sake of her future career. Looking down at the shiny green cauliflower, the girl quickly picked it up and put it in her mouth. She chewed it quickly and swallowed it before she could do anything about it.

”Is it that bad?”

Ye Jinxin grabbed the cup and poured water into her stomach, caressing her chest as she slid down. It was obvious that she was choking.

The girl slammed the glass down, her eyes shining. ”It's like chewing plastic,” she said.

”Can you eat the other vegetables?”

”No.” ”Dad, you can just give me some meat, you know?” It was when I was a kid that I was scared to eat these. ”

”No!” Ye Jinxin pursed her lips and once again wrapped her arms around Huo Tindong's arm. ”Tell Auntie Liu to make me some meat to eat.”

”Stay by the side.” Huo Tindong's face darkened. He pushed the girl's arm away from his body, and an indescribable anxiety made Huo Tindong subconsciously reach into his jacket pocket for a cigarette. But this was a restaurant, how could Ye Jinxin smoke cigarettes when she was so close to him? After some thought, the man put the pack back in his pocket.

”Dad.” When Ye Jinxin saw his taut face, she thought that he was angry and wanted to apologize. In the end, he was doing it for her own good.

”Stay away from me!” Huo Tindong suddenly yelled. Ye Jinxin was shocked and her eyes immediately turned red. This was the first time that Huo Tindong told her to leave in a very annoyed tone.

Ye Jinxin nodded and said, ”I didn't do it on purpose. I just didn't want to eat vegetables.”

Huo Tindong loosened his bow tie and remained silent. The atmosphere in the room was extremely cold.

Ye Jinxin sat back in her seat. When she looked down, tears were streaming down her face. He had already despised her to the point where he couldn't even get close to her? In the past, he had been so angry because she didn't listen to him, saying that he would throw her out of the window. But now, he was the same. He was even so angry because he didn't eat vegetables. If he was truly that impatient towards a single person, how could he possibly be so impatient?

The girl tugged at the corner of her shirt. Forget it, if he could be happy listening to what I said, then I'll just go with the flow.

Picking up the fork, Ye Jin obediently picked up the vegetables that he usually disliked to eat the most and stuffed them into his mouth in large mouthfuls. The bitterness in his heart made the vegetables seem less difficult to swallow.

Even after so many years, he still didn't like her. Ye Jinxin always remembered that kidnapping, he was the one who escaped that time. She kept comforting herself that if she waited any longer, Huo Tindong would definitely send someone to save her.

But that was only a hypothesis. No one knew what the real result would be if she continued to wait.

Perhaps, Huo Tindong wouldn't come to her rescue at all.

”Are you eating, or are you playing with your life?”

It was obvious that you were purposely bullying me, and now you're still saying that I'm putting my life on the line. This was truly unreasonable!

Ye Jinxin puffed up her cheeks as she grabbed the fork again. She picked up a lot of vegetables and continued to stuff them into her mouth without a second thought.

”Ye Jinxin!” He pressed her forked hand down on the table, half crouching, as if he were coaxing a child. ”Swallow what's in your mouth first.”
