How did he…appear like a ghost?

Gu Wan’an’s heart raced in fright.

It was indeed a little awkward to be caught red-handed stealing food.

“Haha…” She laughed dryly to break the silence. “It’s so late. You’re still awake?”

“Hm.”

Gong Mingye glanced at her and nodded. “What are you doing?”

“I’m a little hungry, so I cooked some noodles.”

As she spoke, Gu Wan’an couldn’t control herself. She lowered her head and looked at the fragrant noodles again. She couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

It smells so good!

Gong Mingye’s gaze was cold and filled with disdain. “Junk food.”

Hearing this, Gu Wan’an was unhappy and retorted, “So what if it’s junk food? The happiness, satisfaction, and sublimation of the soul that it brings are beyond your comprehension.”

A bowl of instant noodles could actually exalt one’s soul. What nonsense!

Gong Mingye’s gaze was deep and his expression indifferent. He didn’t say anything.

Then, the atmosphere cooled again.

Gu Wan’an wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. She roared silently in her heart. “Go, go, go quickly, the noodles are about to get mushy!

Unexpectedly, Gong Mingye was still blocking the door, unmoving, with no intention of leaving.

Gu Wan’an couldn’t guess what the man wanted.

She couldn’t ask him to leave, so she said casually, “Do you want to eat together?”

“Sure.” Gong Mingye replied directly.

Gu Wan’an was dumbfounded.

What sure?

Sure of what?

Just a moment ago, he disliked it for being junk food, but now he agreed without hesitation?

It’s so hard to tell a man’s thoughts.

Seeing her standing still, Gong Mingye glanced at her and said calmly, “Are you reluctant or are you going back on your word?”

At those words, Gu Wan’an heart felt weak, and she said, “It’s just a bowl of instant noodles. How can I not be willing? I’ll go get another pair of chopsticks.”

In the huge and luxurious mansion, the two of them sat around an expensive dining table and ate a bowl of instant noodles priced at five yuan.

The more she looked at this scene, the more incredulous she felt.

Gu Wan’an swallowed her saliva, feeling that she had lowered the Gong family’s prestige.

“It’s a little spicy. Can you eat it?”

“Do I look that delicate?” Gong Mingye asked calmly.

Gu Wan’an raised her eyebrows. Fine, she would just treat her question as nonsense.

Gong Mingye frowned slightly. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of instant noodles, and put it into his mouth.

Blinking, Gu Wan’an pursed her lips and stared at the man’s every move.

Only to see, his eyebrows wrinkled but he didn’t spit it out.

Seeing this, Gu Wan’an didn’t say anything more and started eating.

It was just a packet of instant noodles. If she didn’t start eating, it would probably all go into the man’s stomach.

The moment she lowered her head, the distance between them shrank.

Gong Mingye looked up and met the girl’s fair side profile. He could still smell the fragrance coming from her body; It was the smell of oranges and it was very nice.

She ate in a hurry and choked on her food. She resisted the urge to cough and patted her chest, preparing to drink some water.

Unexpectedly, as she looked up, the man’s face suddenly leaned over. Just as well, her red lips brushed past the corner of his lips.

“Boom!”

Gu Wan’an was stunned in place, feeling uncomfortable all over.

If there was a crack in the ground, she would crawl in immediately!

Instantly, Gong Mingye’s eyes turned dark and fiery.

It was just a light touch, but it instantly ignited the fire in his body.

“That … I’m sorry… I swear, it was an accident. I definitely didn’t do it on purpose. I just accidentally touched it…”

Gu Wan’an wished she could find a gap to burrow in. What is all this!!!
