Finally, Ye Wenyu arrived at Lin Tingfeng's office door with two takeout meals, unnoticed. The door was ajar, so she had to hold the two meals in one hand and knock on the door with the other.
"Come in—" It was Lin Tingfeng's gentle voice. Ye Wenyu carried the takeout food in with both hands. She had almost burned her hands while carrying two scalding hot meals in one hand. She was about to throw the two meals on the ground, but she endured the danger of burning her hands and continued to carry them because she wanted to eat with Lin Tingfeng. Now that she was carrying them with both hands, it was finally not so uncomfortable.
Lin Tingfeng saw her carrying two boxed lunches and couldn't help but laugh. He pointed to the small dining table in front of him and said to her, "You brought your own food?"
Ye Wenyu then noticed that someone had set up a small dining table in Lin Tingfeng's office. There were five dishes on the table, three of which were meat and one soup, with both meat and vegetables, along with two bowls of white rice. The chopsticks were neatly arranged, indicating that someone had specially bought and prepared the meal for the president, and that the president had given special attention to this day, hence the two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Ye Wenyu blushed, placed the takeout she was holding on the small dining table, and said to Lin Tingfeng, "I didn't know someone was preparing meals for you. I remember you said we would have lunch together, so when I ordered takeout, I ordered it for you at the same time."
Lin Tingfeng was taken aback when he heard this. He looked at Ye Wenyu with an approving smile and said to her, "You ordered takeout for someone today?"
"Yes—" Ye Wenyu nodded, and then chirped like a sparrow, reporting that Xiao Liu from the secretarial team had resigned, and it was Xiao Liu's turn to order takeout. Everyone was arguing about it, so she stood up and took the initiative to take on the task of ordering takeout.
Lin Tingfeng listened slowly while eating. He ate very little, spending most of his time using serving chopsticks to pick up food for Ye Wenyu. However, after hearing what she said, he nodded approvingly again.
Ye Wenyu smiled, her eyes crinkling with delight. She leaned her head close to Lin Tingfeng, as if seeking praise, and said, "You did a good job, didn't you?"
Lin Tingfeng nodded, and Ye Wenyu was very happy.
She looked at him and said, "Anyway, it's your money, so I'm happy to be generous."
Lin Tingfeng smiled again, reached out and picked up another piece of food for her, saying gently, "Eat more." The fact that she always remembered that she was spending his money showed that she was sensible and grateful. Besides, since he had given her his money, she was in charge of it, and the fact that she used it on the right things showed that she was very smart.
He has always only liked intelligent girls, and seeing how ambitious she was, he was naturally very pleased, just like a strict teacher seeing a bright student.
Ye Wenyu had already eaten half a bowl of rice. Seeing that the white rice in Lin Tingfeng's bowl was almost untouched, she asked curiously, "You don't seem to have eaten much."
Lin Tingfeng glanced at her, then simply put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to her, "Eating this kind of food every day, I have no appetite at all."
Looking at the three dishes and two soups, which were brightly colored and smelled delicious, Ye Wenyu said to Lin Tingfeng, "But I think they're very delicious." When she took the first bite, she thought they were so delicious that she almost swallowed her own tongue.
That's because it's your first time eating it.
Lin Tingfeng leaned back in his chair, watching Ye Wenyu eat with relish. Her little cheeks were bulging, and she would pick up a dish, first bringing it to her nose for a deep sniff, then sweetly smiling as she put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully. The way she looked so engrossed in the meal made it seem as if it were the most delicious delicacy in the world. So childlike and adorable, he smiled as he watched her and said softly, "Xiaoyu, is this our first lunch together?"
Ye Wenyu thought for a moment and nodded. That's for sure. Before, she went to school early and he went to the company early in the morning. The two of them could only get together in the evening. Sometimes he came back very late and they couldn't even have dinner together.
She nodded vigorously to indicate that he had answered correctly, and her mouth was always busy, her cheeks always looking like two big bulges.
Lin Tingfeng stretched and smiled at her, saying, "So it's not bad that you're doing this internship. It means we can spend more time together, and I'll be happier having you with me for lunch."
Ye Wenyu, biting her chopsticks, glanced at the almost untouched white rice he had eaten and asked him, "Happy? But you have almost no appetite?"
Lin Tingfeng smiled and said softly to her, "That's because I'm too tired, and I have a social engagement tonight. I haven't had a good appetite for many years." He thought back to his impoverished youth when he had a huge appetite, able to eat four steamed buns in one meal and finish every last drop of soup from a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
Ye Wenyu's gaze inadvertently fell on the takeout box she had brought. On a sudden inspiration, she said to him, "Try this. Xiao Li from the secretariat keeps saying that this restaurant has the best food. It's called 'One Signature Dish.' Maybe you'll like it."
She hurriedly opened the takeout box, and a rich aroma wafted out, making her mouth water. Lin Tingfeng smiled, picked up the takeout box, and ate half a bowl of rice again.
The taste was so-so, but it was definitely better than the staff canteen food he ate every day. To make her happy, he forced himself to eat a little more.
Seeing that he finally had some appetite, Ye Wenyu was also happy. The office was as quiet as a silent valley. Golden sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the room feel warm and cozy. It felt so wonderful to be face to face with him, eating slowly and talking gently!
She asked him curiously, "Hey, Lin Tingfeng, can I ask you a question?"
"Um?"
Ye Wenyu thought for a moment, then mustered her courage and asked, "There are so many beautiful women in the secretarial team, why haven't you fallen for any of them? Hmm?"
Lin Tingfeng never expected Ye Wenyu to ask such a question. He was so surprised that he coughed violently, and worried that he would spit out rice and be unsightly, so he covered his mouth with his hand.
Ye Wenyu immediately handed him a glass of water and stood behind him, gently patting his back.
Lin Tingfeng finally stopped coughing.
Ye Wenyu rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What's so funny?"
Lin Tingfeng stopped laughing and gazed at her, delighted to see her serving him water and patting his back like a sweet, loving wife. Ye Wenyu sat down opposite him again and began eating. Lin Tingfeng noticed a grain of rice on her small, delicate face, set against her jade-like cheek, making her look especially adorable. He reached out and gently removed the grain of rice, asking her softly, "Are you jealous?"
Ye Wenyu shook her head and said softly, "I'm under pressure, a lot of pressure, immense pressure!"
There were more than twenty beautiful women, and each of them was prettier, more capable, and better dressed than her.
Lin Tingfeng has taken a liking to her. Does he have something wrong with his eyes? Should he go to the hospital's ophthalmology department and get checked out?
Ye Wenyu couldn't understand it.
Lin Tingfeng raised one eyebrow and asked her, "Why are you under pressure?"
