Ming Yue often heard her father telling these kinds of stories, so when she first went to the Liu family at the age of 10, she was very careful. She was afraid that she would meet the devil that she couldn’t afford to offend. Later, she met him in the garden. She was wearing tight jeans and a sky-blue cartoon printed half-sleeved shirt. She was short and scrawny, and her skin was a little tanned. The 15-year-old young master was tall and had long legs. He wore a headset and sat on a chair to listen to music. His facial features were handsome. The first thing he said after seeing her was, “Where did this country bumpkin come from?”

That night, the young master’s body could not withstand the effect of the drug, but his consciousness was clear. He only gritted his teeth in her ear and said, “I’ll make you pay the price sooner or later.” The young master, who hated her so much, actually apologized to her? He actually apologized to others?

Ming Yue followed after him. The two of them entered the elevator together and arrived home quietly. They changed their shoes. “You should clean up. We’ll video call grandma later.”

“Okay.” Ming Yue went to the bathroom to take a shower. It was as if they were doing a quest. She and the young master had to act lovingly in front of the old madam

Tomorrow, she would bring the young master to her grandmother to continue this show. When she came out of the shower, Liu Jingxing was already waiting on the sofa. When he saw her, his deep gaze sized her up. Ming Yue bit her lips and felt that the other party’s gaze was a little scary. It made her subconsciously recall the scene of how the two of them were wildly entangled that night…

She sat uncomfortably on his left side. A faint fragrance entered Liu Jingxing’s nose. The moment he lowered his head, as if he had seen something. He frowned and looked away. He then said coldly, “Button up your shirt properly.”

Ming Yue was confused. She lowered her head and looked at her shirt. Only the top two buttons of her pajama top were unbuttoned. Only her collarbone and neck were exposed. Nothing else was exposed. How was this inappropriate? However, she still obediently buttoned them.

After the video call with the old madam, Liu Jingxing did not leave immediately like he did yesterday. Ming Yue stood up first.

“What time are you going to visit your grandmother at the hospital tomorrow?”

“Early. Grandmother needs to rest at noon.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.” Liu Jingxing walked past her and returned to his room. Behind him, Ming Yue bit her lip as she said, “Thank you.”

Liu Jingxing stopped in his tracks for a moment. Then, he entered the room without looking back.

Ming Yue went to water the dry plant that the young master had forgotten on the balcony. She looked at the grass and thought that she was just like this grass, completely withered and yellow.

The night passed quickly. The next day, Ming Yue woke up with a headache and a tight throat. She coughed a few times but did not get better. She muttered to herself, “Could it be that I caught a cold after being out in the wind for a while yesterday?” Although she knew that people’s immunity would decrease when they were pregnant, this was too exaggerated.

She drank a cup of hot water and began to prepare breakfast. Today, the young master was going to the hospital with her to see grandmother, so she made breakfast for two. She wrapped two bowls of wontons, picked a few fresh onions, and fried four scallion pancakes. These should be enough for two people.

When Liu Jingxing came out after getting ready, he smelled the fragrance of onion oil. He stopped in his tracks and saw Ming Yue sitting at the dining table with her head lowered, eating the scallion pancake in front of her with her mouth full. Were all pregnant people like her? She had such a good appetite so early in the morning.

The last thing he wanted to admit was that when he saw this scene, the first thought that came to his mind was: She was like a little hamster and was quite cute. However, he would not say it out loud even if it killed him.

“It’s so fragrant,” Ming Yue nibbled on the scallion pancake, her delicious eyes narrowed into slits as she spoke incoherently. She tried her best to swallow the food in her mouth and said, “It smells really good.”

Liu Jingxing thought that he could clearly tell how the food tasted just by looking at her expression. “I made your share. Eat it while it’s still hot. Let’s go to the hospital after you’re done.”

Liu Jingxing loosened his tie with his right hand and pulled out a chair to sit down. He refused. “I don’t eat such greasy food in the morning. My assistant will buy me breakfast from Chen’s.”

Chen’s Restaurant? That Chen’s Restaurant that sold a cup of soy milk for more than 80 yuan? As a food blogger, Ming Yue usually paid more attention to these delicacies on the Internet. She basically knew all the delicacies in the capital. As for Chen’s Restaurant, she had mixed feelings about it. She couldn’t understand the thinking of rich people.

She muttered softly, “Then I might as well bring this pancake and wonton over to Dr. Zheng.” After eating the wonton, she could only eat one scallion pancake. There were still three left, and grandmother couldn’t eat these things now. She would occasionally bring breakfast to Dr. Zheng in the past, and he always said that he enjoyed the food.
