As the dishes were served one by one, Lin Man's tolerance gradually decreased.
Lin Man was certain that Qin Jue and Jiang Duoduo had absolutely no relationship.
But Qin Jue, who exuded gentleness in every way, felt very unfamiliar to her.
Qin Jue hadn't forgotten that Jiang Duoduo had told him she wanted to eat ice cream.
He very proactively gave a tip so the waiter could go outside to buy more.
Summer is almost here, but it's still a bit hot at this hour. As Jiang Duoduo licked her ice cream, she glanced at Lin Man and asked, "Do you want some ice cream?"
Lin Man, holding her knife and fork, smiled elegantly and replied softly, "No, I'm not in good health and can't eat anything cold."
"Oh." Jiang Duoduo didn't touch her chopsticks; she was waiting to see Qin Jue's disheveled eating habits.
Qin Jue acted very strangely, simply sitting there, even looking at the food with a look of disgust.
Disgust? That must be an illusion.
After finishing an ice cream, Jiang Duoduo couldn't wait any longer and started cutting her steak with a knife and fork.
The finest steak, meticulously plated, exudes sophistication and elegance; even the act of cutting it is a pleasure.
Seeing Jiang Duoduo engrossed in eating, Lin Man, who was leisurely eating, chuckled and scoffed.
It seems that Jiang Duoduo didn't even know that Qin Jue had anorexia.
Qin Jue hates food so much, how could he tolerate her eating so happily on the side?
Lin Man had initially thought Jiang Duoduo was a formidable opponent, but judging from her current performance, she was nothing more than a harmless little rabbit. Lin Man, on the other hand, was different; she was mature, intelligent, and understood Qin Jue, making her a very suitable partner.
Lin Man placed a piece of broccoli on Qin Jue's plate as a garnish, and said very considerately in a soft voice, "I remember when you were in school, you only ate this."
Qin Jue glanced at the vegetables Lin Man had brought, picked up his fork, and swept the broccoli directly onto the table with a disgusted look.
Then, he moved closer to Duoduo.
Jiang Duoduo had just finished cutting a steak along the grain and was about to put the meat into her mouth.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jue grabbed her hand and stuffed the beef from the fork into his own mouth, chewing it slowly.
The act of snatching food completely infuriated Jiang Duoduo. "You..." Can't you cut it yourself?
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Man, who had been both criticized and forced to endure their public display of affection, could no longer hold back. She exploded, slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and pointed at Jiang Duoduo's nose, "Qin Jue, do you like her?"
Lin Man's shout immediately intimidated Jiang Duoduo.
Qin Jue, however, didn't take it seriously and completely disregarded Lin Man. He placed his large hand on Duo Duo's shoulder and gently pulled her into his arms, displaying an exceptionally domineering and protective attitude, saying, "Lin Man, don't point your hand around."
Jiang Duoduo was stunned. Such smooth movements, such brilliant lines—Qin Jue's acting skills were just too good.
Okay, she admits it, she's completely outmatched in this drama!
Lin Man left in anger, secretly vowing to find an opportunity to tell the Qin family about Jiang Duoduo.
She didn't believe the Qin family would accept a girl from such a humble and poor background.
Jiang Duoduo watched Lin Man leave and immediately broke character.
She turned to look at Qin Jue, "I think I helped you deal with Lin Manye." The implication was obvious.
Qin Jue raised his hand to wipe the ice cream residue from the corner of her mouth, then put it in his own mouth, "Mmm."
Seeing his ambiguous behavior, Jiang Duoduo frowned and broke free from his embrace. "What are you doing?"
