As soon as I went downstairs, Fu Nanxiao was indeed sitting at the dining table.
His brow furrowed slightly, his expression cold, and even the air around him seemed oppressive.
Jiang Yilai's heart raced.
She walked over silently and lowered her head to drink her porridge.
Fu Nanxiao glanced at her, his brow furrowing even deeper.
He barely slept last night.
Just thinking about Jiang Yilai's words, "I don't like it," makes him feel tightness in his chest and pain in his liver.
Looking at the woman who was drinking her porridge with her head down as if nothing was wrong, he felt even more irritated.
His gaze was so intense, it felt like it was burning two holes in her body, and Jiang Yilai was in agony.
Whether she cowers or sticks her neck out, she'll get stabbed anyway, and she can't hide from Fu Nanxiao forever.
She steeled herself, looked up at him, and asked, "Fu Nanxiao, did I... say something I shouldn't have last night?"
Fu Nanxiao stared at her coldly.
Has she forgotten?
If last night was just because I was drunk, then it doesn't count.
Fu Nanxiao's sharp gaze locked onto her face.
Jiang Yilai felt uncomfortable under his gaze and lowered her head to drink her porridge.
Suddenly, she heard his deep voice: "Jiang Yilai, do you like me?"
"puff!"
Jiang Yilai sprayed all the porridge she was eating onto the table.
Fu Nanxiao leaned back, looking at her with disdain.
"Cough cough! I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly, what did you say?" Jiang Yilai asked in disbelief.
Fu Nanxiao tightened his lips and spoke clearly and forcefully: "I said, do you like me or not!"
"..."
Jiang Yilai's ears suddenly turned red.
Her heart was pounding.
Why would Fu Nanxiao suddenly ask this question?!
She stammered, "Why...why are you asking this?"
Fu Nanxiao's eyes were dark and unfathomable: "Speak quickly!"
What was she supposed to say?!
Jiang Yilai's mind was buzzing, and she was in a state of utter confusion.
She liked Fu Nanxiao, but...
Jiang Yilai bit her lip, took a deep breath, and looked up at him: "And you? Do you like me?"
As soon as she asked the question, her palms suddenly became wet.
Their eyes met, and a tense yet expectant atmosphere filled the air.
Fu Nanxiao gave her a deep look.
Jiang Yilai probably didn't even realize that her moist almond-shaped eyes had already betrayed her.
He could easily discern the emotions within.
Fear, trepidation, and anticipation.
He already knows the answer.
Fu Nanxiao's lips curled up slightly without being noticed.
He looked away and said calmly, "Let's eat."
The irritability and frustration in his heart vanished, he relaxed his brow and slowly began to drink his porridge.
Jiang Yilai's heart sank.
All my expectations turned into disappointment.
She already knew the answer to what she was thinking, didn't she?
Breakfast was tasteless and unappetizing.
Jiang Yilai put down her chopsticks and got up to leave.
"Come back early tonight." A voice suddenly came from behind.
Jiang Yilai paused in her steps.
She glanced at Fu Nanxiao, who had said those words before leisurely continuing to drink his porridge.
Jiang Yilai wasn't in the mood to ask him why and walked away.
She went out and made a phone call to Sun Yufei.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
Sun Yufei's sleepy and weak voice rang out: "Hello..."
"Feifei, are you still not awake?"
"Just woke up, haven't gotten up yet."
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask where you are. I was brought back by Fu Nanxiao last night, but I don't remember anything about what happened."
Sun Yufei perked up a bit: "I slept at home last night, with Jin Zisong... Holy crap!"
Jiang Yilai was startled by her sudden outburst of profanity: "What's wrong?"
