The Billionaire’s Pet

Chapter 28: Eat Fast

Fortunately, she hadn't encountered anyone with the surname Ye yet; if she had acted like this in front of him, it would have been mortifying. She freed her injured hand and gently knocked on Ye Zimo's bedroom door. He said in a deep voice, 'Come in!' Xia Yihan carefully entered with the tray and said softly, 'Mr. Ye, your late-night snack.' 'Hmm!' he grunted. Xia Yihan stepped forward and placed the tray on his desk by the wall. She held out a bowl of shark fin soup to Ye Zimo, who took the spoon slowly and sipped it bit by bit. Xia Yihan had never envied anyone eating before, but this was a physical instinct. Watching the delicious food enter his mouth, her stomach felt as if it had been drained, and she had a strong craving to eat something herself. She thought that this guy must have heard her stomach growling; this was probably his new idea of torturing her. Eating in front of someone who is starving is indeed a cruel thing to do, and it's no surprise he came up with it. But then again, it's not odd considering he is from an official family; it would be normal for him to do things a thousand times worse. After taking a couple of sips, Ye Zimo said indifferently, 'I have no appetite eating alone, eat with me.' His invitation was clearly welcomed by her stomach, which protested violently just as she was about to say 'I won't,' even louder than the noise it made in the hall. Her face suddenly felt as if it were on fire, burning uncomfortably, and she looked at Ye Zimo's face amidst her embarrassment. The face that usually seemed expressionless as if paralyzed actually seemed to be holding back a laugh, twitching slightly twice, and she really felt the urge to punch him.

How can you be so ungracious, treating a woman who is cold and hungry in such a way? Is it fun? Ye Zimo's smile on his face was very faint, and after flashing for a moment, he became serious again, and said to her solemnly: 'Is being hungry a shameful thing? No matter what a person does, they should first fill their stomach.' Whether it's to get some evidence from me or to harm me, it has to be on the premise that you are not starved to death. Xia Yihan was stunned for a moment and looked at his expressionless face, unable to imagine that these words could come from him. 'Eat quickly!' he ordered, with an unquestionable tone, as if to say, if she didn't eat, he would kick her out. Although his tone was somewhat cold, Xia Yihan still felt a hint of concern behind his indifference. Such a strange person, he completely ignored her serious injury, but when she was hungry, he seemed to care. She felt a bit embarrassed, but then she thought that she was working in his house after all, and it was normal to provide meals. With this thought, she naturally picked up the bowl and started eating. Ye Zimo was still savoring the shark fin soup slowly, very slowly, so slow that even after she finished eating, he still hadn't finished. 'Dessert is also eaten! Don't waste!'

He ordered again. After drinking the shark fin soup, Xia Yihan felt much more comfortable in her stomach. It had been a full year since Xiao Jun passed away, and during this year, Xia Yihan had never had a full meal; she always lacked an appetite. Perhaps it was because the dim sum from the Ye family was very delicious, or perhaps because she had been hungry for too long, but in Ye Zimo's eyes, the way she ate was very appetizing. He was still sipping the soup when she put the last piece of dim sum to her lips. Just as she took a small bite, he suddenly snatched it away with his hand. "Who told you to eat it all? I'm still hungry!" He said, then threw the piece of dim sum that he had taken from her mouth into his own, chewing slowly before swallowing. It was as if he hadn't eaten something so delicious in many years, and he satisfaction curled the corners of his lips, his expression even a bit childish. Xia Yihan was stunned by his childish behavior, staring at him for a long time before her face turned red. That was something she had bitten into, how could he just...
