"Your cooking skills are so good. Otherwise, how could I hire you? "From now on, stay by my side and cook for me for the rest of my life …" Qu Ruo picked up his chopsticks. His voice became deep and gentle, as if he was discussing something with her, or asking for her opinion.

Bai Yaoyao's hands suddenly slowed down. She lowered her head and didn't say anything, not knowing how to answer him.

He couldn't help but be moved. Just what was the meaning behind his words?

The next moment, she raised her head and casually changed the topic, "I know you eat delicacies everyday, but I'm not sure if you can get used to my cooking."

"The taste is pretty good, I quite like it." He put down his chopsticks and suddenly reached out and grabbed her.

"Sit down and accompany me to eat. Don't be busy for now." His voice was low, and he squeezed her hand tighter. His tone was extremely gentle, not at all as haughty as usual. It was as if he was speaking to the person closest to him.

Her pair of deep eyes were filled with fatigue, but when she faced Bai Yaoyao, she was as deep as the ocean.

This man rarely had such tender moments. Before, even though he had some, most of it was overbearing gentleness. But now, he was truly like a little puppy, causing people to feel pity for him.

"Okay, I'll watch you eat." Bai Yaoyao smiled lightly and sat beside him.

Qu Ruo also sat down and continued to eat with his chopsticks. He was no longer as graceful as usual and when he saw that she didn't move her chopsticks, he asked, "Why don't you eat? "Could it be that there's poison in the dish?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" I just … have never seen you eat like this before. In my mind, you seem very elegant.

Qu Ruo couldn't be bothered to care about her. He directly stuffed the chopsticks on the table into her hands and continued to stuff the beef into his mouth silently.

Bai Yaoyao held the chopsticks in her hand and watched as the man next to her wolfed down the food. She was really hungry, so she scooped up a spoonful of soup for him and placed it in front of him and said, "Eat slowly. Be careful not to choke after a while."

She had really never seen this man's appearance today. It was as if he had only taken off the outer layer of his camouflage clothes when he was facing her. Tonight, he was just an ordinary person who needed to be cared for. His heart was actually very lonely.

Tomorrow, he would return to being a tyrannical, ruthless, and unapproachable person. He would be the proud son of heaven that held the economic lifeline of countless countries in his hands.

To be able to switch between these two identities, it truly wasn't easy for him. Bai Yaoyao felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.

"What are you looking at? "Are you looking at my beautiful face?" Qu Ruo pushed the bowl of soup to the front. It seemed that he was prepared to finish it in one go.

"Where did your self-confidence come from? There are many handsome men in China." Bai Yaoyao grumbled as she ate. The two of them were very close. Hearing her words, Qu Ruo looked sideways at her and the two of them were almost leaning against each other.

There was no hint of displeasure on his face, but his eyes were shining brightly as he stared at her, unwilling to let go. Bai Yaoyao felt her face turn red when he looked at her like that. Although it wasn't the first time she was being stared at like that, it was different this time.

Suddenly, Qu Ruo raised his hand and used his thumb to gently remove the rice in the corner of her mouth. His voice was slightly hoarse as he smiled and said, "Keep this, shall I eat it for you?"

"…" This man was truly …

Bai Yaoyao couldn't help but blush. She glared at him for a moment, then picked up the bowl and started stuffing the rice into her mouth.

Qu Ruo laughed as he placed the dishes into her bowl, then said, "Idiot, eat some."

"Mn …" She didn't dare to raise her head to look into his deep, loving eyes.

"You're really too much. I want another bowl." Qu Ruo touched his round belly. Today was the first time he actually wanted to eat a second bowl.

….

It was already deep into the night.

Nope, I haven't slept yet. Although I've been busy with Qu Ruo all day, I haven't slept a wink tonight.

Actually, his surname was Nie and his name was Arnold. However, ever since he started following Qu Ruo, everyone gradually started calling him Mr. Nuo or Arnold.

In order to get close to Qu Ruo, many people would start from his side. Sometimes, it was annoying to refuse.

Na Nuo was wearing casual clothes as she leaned against the broken bridge under the big tree. He calculated silently that there must have been dozens of people rejected today, and the presents alone amounted to three million. However, he would still take time to return them all.

He was still fiddling with the small, transparent box in his hand. Inside the box was the bracelet that he had given to Mann. He had been wearing the man's bracelet for several days.

What excuse would he use to give this gift to her? Or, just say it directly?

Na Nuo had always been a simple little boy. She had never understood the matters of the heart. However, after following Qu Ruo, she had learned a lot of worldly wisdom. However, she was still an idiot in her feelings.

The reason he didn't confess to Mann all this time was because he wasn't brave enough. Secondly, the most important reason was that he was afraid that he would affect Mann. It really wasn't easy for her.

Behind him, the sound of very light footsteps could be heard.

Nuo immediately turned around vigilantly because there were usually guards and bodyguards patrolling the manor at night. He didn't expect that the person behind her was actually Mann.

They looked at each other. This scene suddenly seemed a little awkward, because neither of them knew what to say.

After a moment of silence, the two of them smiled awkwardly.

Mann broke the silence. "Still not sleeping? It was late. I still need to get up early tomorrow. "

"Yes." Nho nodded and hid the box behind his back.

She was originally going to give it to Mann, but when she suddenly appeared, she didn't know what to say. Instead, her heart was beating wildly.

Once again, the two felt awkward. Mann leaned against the railing of the broken bridge, lost in thought as she gazed at the sparkling water. After a while, she asked, "You think love is important. Or is bread more important? "

"…?" Nuo did not understand. He was surprised to hear such a strange question.

"Here's a confession for me today. Tell me, do I have to agree to it?" Mann smiled faintly. It seemed that she did as she was told.
