Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

Seeing Tao Zhixiang’s face slightly flushed, Chu Mucheng felt a bit more at ease.

He took the menu and was about to order more, but Tao Zhixiang said, "This is enough. If we order more, it will just go to waste. If you really want to order more, then... we should just remove one of these dishes instead!"

With that thought, Tao Zhixiang began to struggle.

"Which one should we remove?"

Seeing her like this, Chu Mucheng couldn’t help but laugh.

"We don’t need to remove any, this is good enough!"

Tao Zhixiang was stunned and glanced up at Chu Mucheng, just in time to catch him smiling at her, causing her face to burn even more.

Speaking of which... Chu Mucheng used to always have a stern face, as if it were as cold as ice for thousands of years, and one could hardly see him smile. But now, he seemed to smile more and more in front of her!

When he smiled so gently, she found herself unable to resist!

And just then, Chu Mucheng lightly tossed out a remark.

"You’re quite thrifty!"

Tao Zhixiang: "..."

She thought to herself, am I really thrifty? I’m just a poor person, not like a rich capitalist like you!

But she could only think this in her heart; she couldn’t possibly say it out loud.

After all, the one treating her to dinner was the boss!

Not to mention, Chu Mucheng had helped her mom with tens of thousands of medical bills!

So she could only silently grumble to herself.

Chu Mucheng kept looking at the little woman in front of him.

This Lantern Festival was indeed... more interesting than in previous years.

Ever since Su Linxue passed away, the house had become increasingly desolate, and Chu Yihong became more despondent.

Staying at home, it felt like Su Linxue’s shadow was everywhere, traces of her presence were everywhere.

So, after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Yihong left home and went abroad to clear his mind.

The only ones left at home were him and Chu Mushan.

Back then, he really loved his little sister because, apart from Chu Yihong, only he and Chu Mushan were close family; they shared the same blood.

But as they grew up, he felt that the distance between him and Chu Mushan was getting wider.

Maybe it was because of the incident with An Xiaoyu that he slapped Chu Mushan, and so, a rift formed in her heart.

Actually, he should have gone home that night to accompany Chu Mushan, but Chu Mucheng found he didn’t want to go home, with his mind filled with thoughts of this little woman.

Just watching her made him feel so tranquil and at ease.

And with these thoughts, Chu Mucheng’s gaze grew even more tender.

Tao Zhixiang felt she couldn’t handle such a gaze, but she couldn’t bury her head like an ostrich either, so she turned slightly, looking toward the door, pretending to wait for the waiter to serve the dishes.

Chu Mucheng chuckled.

"What’s wrong, scared of me? Hah, coward!"

Tao Zhixiang, being called out like that, immediately turned her head back, her bright eyes meeting Chu Mucheng’s gaze.

"Who said I’m scared of you?"

Chu Mucheng’s eyebrows raised, his eyes full of laughter.

"Hmm, seems like the goading trick works!"

Tao Zhixiang: "..."

This guy, really! Is this fun?

But soon, the waiter began serving the dishes, one by one on the table.

The two of them started eating.

Chu Mucheng even served food to Tao Zhixiang.

"You should eat more, look at you, you’re almost like dried fish! Your chest wasn’t big to begin with, if you get any thinner, it’ll be gone! Then the tactile feel would be very bad!"

Tao Zhixiang: "..."

This person, really knows how to spoil the mood!
