â Eat as much as you can, â Su Chen said nonchalantly. â If you canât finish it, throw the rest away. â
After hearing Su Chenâs words, Chi Xia quickly said, ââThis brand of cake is very expensive. One costs more than a thousand yuan. Itâs a waste to throw it away!â
After Chi Xia finished speaking, she felt like a country bumpkin. To Su Chen, a thousand yuan was nothing. It was like ten yuan in her eyes. She would not feel any heartache even if she threw it away.
Then, Su Chen said, â If you think itâs a waste, eat it all. â
â.. Iâm not a pig.â Chi Xia mumbled to herself and started cutting the cake. She said considerately, ââIâll try my best.â
Chi Xia lowered her head to cut the cake and did not notice the imperceptible smile on Su Chenâs face.
Since she was going to throw it away anyway, Chi Xia did not feel embarrassed and started eating happily.
Su Chen sat at the side, quietly watching her eat happily. There was a trace of cream on the corner of her mouth. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it for her, but he retracted his hand halfway. He had forgotten that this woman did not like him touching her.
Then, he saw Chi Xia stick out her tongue and lick the corner of her mouth. This action made Su Chenâs eyes darken and he forcefully averted his gaze.
âCough coughâ¦â Su Chen suddenly coughed.
Perhaps it was because she had eaten something sweet, her throat was a little itchy.
Chi Xia immediately got up and rushed into the kitchen. She washed a pear and gave it to Su Chen. â Have a pear. Itâll help you stop coughing. â
Su Chen took it and sat on the sofa eating the pear while Chi Xia sat on the carpet eating the cake.
Su Chen couldnât help but say, ââDonât you women go on a diet to lose weight? Is it okay to eat so much cake at night?â
Chi Xia paused, her mouth full of cake as she replied proudly, ââ Iâm a natural beauty. No matter how much I eat, I wonât get fat. I never go on a diet. â
âSo, in order not to throw the cake away, you plan to stuff it into your stomach? Do you think youâre a trash can?â
Chi Xia was speechless.
This man was saying that she ate too much.
Chi Xiaâs face turned red. She wanted to cut another piece of cake but stopped herself.
âThen I wonât eat.â
âPut the cake in the fridge and eat it tomorrow.â
âOh.â
Chi Xia did as she was told. After she took the cake into the kitchen, she realized that she would not be able to eat it tomorrow anyway. She might as well take it away tonight!
When Chi Xia returned to the living room and was about to say that she was leaving, Su Chen seemed to have sensed what she was about to say and spoke first, ââStay here today.â
â.. Huh?â Chi Xia was stunned. What was he trying to do by asking her to stay tonight?
Su Chen glanced at her and said in a deep voice, â Youâre overthinking it. My fever wonât go down. If anything happens to me when Iâm asleep, itâll be difficult to deal with it without anyone around. Just in case, you can stay here for the night. â
After a pause, as if worried that she would reject him, he said,âSince you want to take care of me, you should take care of yourself.â
What did she mean by she wanted to take care of him?
She had no intention of taking care of him!
However, what he said made sense. It was indeed worrying that he was sick alone.
After some thought, she nodded. â Iâll be in the room next door. Call me if you need anything. â
âI have something to call you? How can I call you when Iâm muddle-headed? Since youâre taking care of me, then pay attention to my condition at night.â
Chi Xiaâs mouth twitched. So, he wanted her to stay and be his nanny?
He could still be so righteous when asking for help!
