Chapter 57: Awkward

Throughout the three years of their marriage, he would find her presence to be rather extra.

They rarely sat together calmly for a meal either.

He obviously would not help her to the food too.

Li Beinian felt a sudden ache in her heart.

Staring at the slice of fish on the small plate in front of her, Li Beinian could not bring herself to eat it at all.

She liked fish, but she detested him.

Li Beinian lowered her head and ate her food quietly even though she avoided the slice of fish.

Growing anxious after noticing Li Beinian’s behavior, he gently reminded, “Niannian, the food is going to turn cold if you still don’t eat it.”

Mu Donglin glanced at her.

“I don’t like fish,” Li Beinian murmured softly.

Fang Zhili was bewildered and she noticed a peculiar expression on Li Beinian’s face.

Fang Zhili thought to herself, she eats plenty of fish at home.

Why has she started disliking fish now that we’re here?

Mu Donglin glanced at her and placed another piece of deep-fried rib onto her plate.

Li Beinian stared at the piece of meat and swallowed her saliva even though she still refused to pick it up with her chopsticks.

I’m not going to eat it!

“You don’t like this either? It’s not healthy to be such a picky eater,” Mu Donglin said while looking away calmly.

Fang Zhili interjected, “Niannian loves eating crab meat. She usually eats plenty when we have them at home.”

Mu Donglin then picked up some crab meat and placed it on Li Beinian’s plate.

Li Beinian was almost salivating but she still insisted on not touching the food. She glanced at Mu Donglin and said smilingly, “Thank you.”
