He Ji seemed to sense her unease.
He gently raised his hand and waved, and the people waiting nearby bowed respectfully before leaving.
"Phew~" Li Baobei let out a shallow breath, her expression relaxed, and she picked up her chopsticks to eat a piece of something in front of her that she didn't know what it was.
It looks great and tastes amazing. Its outer layer is golden and crispy, while the inside is soft and delicate. As you chew, you can feel the moisture and rich juice inside.
A subtle fragrance lingers in the mouth, and the texture and flavor complement each other perfectly, making it truly amazing.
"It's so delicious." Li Baobei couldn't help but whisper. He Ji glanced at the foie gras in front of her as if by accident, and silently made a note of it.
She blinked her starry eyes and looked at He Ji, who was gracefully moving his chopsticks and gently stirring the food on his plate.
He carefully picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in his mouth, chewing it almost imperceptibly, without any change in his expression.
Li Baobei couldn't help but think to herself, "A handsome guy is a handsome guy; even eating looks good on him."
Li Baobei noticed that He Ji was eating too slowly and was only picking at dishes that looked particularly bland.
She couldn't help but take a closer look. "No wonder He Ji is so thin, it turns out she's a picky eater! It's true that good-looking people don't need to eat."
He Ji occasionally glanced up at her eating and felt as if the food on the table had come to life.
Watching her eat so happily, and feeling as if her heart was filled with something, he felt something strange, a feeling he couldn't quite explain.
It seems he used to eat alone. For him, eating was just a basic necessity for his body; otherwise, he wouldn't want to waste time...
A hint of sadness appeared in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Li Baobei ate her meal with great enthusiasm. There were so many dishes that she felt it would be a waste not to eat them, so she ate with all her might for a long time.
By the end, I felt like my stomach was about to explode, while He Ji seemed to have eaten nothing at all, sitting calmly in his chair, only occasionally touching his chopsticks.
Seeing that Li Baobei had been sitting in her chair for a long time without touching her chopsticks, He Ji asked softly, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"Hmm~ I ate too much," Li Baobei replied softly. She had indeed eaten too much today, feeling like she had eaten three or four days' worth of meals.
This doesn't feel good; I even feel a bit indigestion.
He Ji's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "Not much."
Li Baobei's eyes widened instantly: "Huh?"
...
He Ji carried her back to her room. Li Baobei said she wanted to sit at the computer because she had been lying down all day and would become lax if she lay down any longer.
He Ji placed her on the computer desk and was about to leave when Li Baobei whispered, "He Ji, I wanted to ask if you have any crutches? It's not good to keep bothering you, I..."
He Ji's eyes darkened slightly, and his tone was somewhat indifferent. "I'll have someone bring it over in a bit." After saying that, he walked out and closed the door.
Li Baobei didn't notice He Ji's subtle change and quickly turned on her computer and logged into her chat software.
Her chat window with Lu Yao was bombarded with messages, 99+...
It's all a barrage of messages, flooding my screen.
Li Baobei smiled faintly, quickly typed on the keyboard, and replied: "What is it? My esteemed princess, is there anything you need from this unsung knight? I would be more than happy to oblige."
"It was accompanied by a knight saluting emoji."
Lu Yao: "You little rascal, you've been eating so well behind my back! Tell me the truth now."
"A sly expression."
Li Baobei: "How did you know I had a particularly good dinner today?"
Lu Yao: "Good heavens! Good heavens! You've changed so much in just a few days!"
"A sad, tearful emoji."
"Li Baobei, you really don't love me anymore, humph!"
Li Baobei frowned helplessly, a smile playing on her lips. "What happened?" She felt like she couldn't quite understand what Lu Yao was saying.
He continued, "Lu Yao, what exactly happened? I'm a little confused about what you're talking about~"
Lu Yao: "See for yourself! Hmph~ Confess and you'll be treated leniently."
Lu Yao quickly forwarded another post to Li Baobei's message interface.
The post's title was: "The Domineering CEO and His Little Darling Wife!!!"
Li Baobei found it strange; what could this have to do with her?
She clicked on it without thinking, and exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap..."
The post featured three or four photos of He Ji holding herself.
One of the photos clearly shows her face...
The post had tens of thousands of comments, and Li Baobei quickly scrolled through a few.
Silent Fish: "I'm envious. This kind of scene only appears in TV dramas. The man and woman in the photo are just as good-looking as those in the entertainment industry, and they even seem a few times better looking."
Xue: "This is amazing! I'm going to use this as my profile picture. It's definitely a perfect couple's profile picture..."
"Fleet of Time": "I wonder where this domineering CEO and his sweet little wife are from. They're such a perfect match, they'd be dominating the entertainment industry!"
Li Baobei saw the comment with the most likes in the post.
An: "Isn't this the young master of the He Group? He's a real domineering CEO. I heard he's a top student who returned from the US. I don't know anything more about him right now."
One follow-up comment, from a curious user, asked: "Is the He Group you're talking about the real estate tycoon He family in this city?"
