Initially, Mu Xiaoxiao was only half full and wanted to finish all the food.
But now she had no desire to eat anymore.
“Jie, shall we go back to the room first?” She knew that she had to make herself clear with him on this matter, but this was not an appropriate place to discuss this matter.
Yin Shaojie glanced at the breakfast in front of her. “Finish it first.”
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. “I’m full.”
“You’re not full. Continue eating.” Yin Shaojie suddenly became a little bossy.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. Since the two had been together, he had rarely spoken to her in such a tone.
She pursed her lips, not picking up the chopsticks.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, “You only took a few bites. You’ll get hungry soon.”
Did she think he wouldn’t know her idiosyncrasies? She was a chowhound. How could she be satisfied with only eating this little?
Besides, it was almost noon, so this would be as good as lunch.
Mu Xiaoxiao knew he was concerned that she would go hungry, so she picked up the Tianjin-style jianbing and continued to eat.
Even though they disagreed, he was still good to her.
Yin Shaojie peeled an egg for her and put it on the plate in front of her. “Didn’t you want to eat eggs? Eat it or you might get hungry again at the airport.”
Mu Xiaoxiao’s hand froze. He was still not giving up. Must he take her to America?
“Why?” she said in a sullen tone. She was losing her appetite again.
“What?” Yin Shaojie asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, looked at him, and said, “Why do you insist on going to America? Can’t we stay in China?”
“No,” Yin Shaojie replied assertively.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and said unhappily, “You’re too overbearing! Mama Yin said it herself. This is my birthday.”
Yin Shaojie didn’t respond. He pointed to the eggs on the plate and said, “Hurry up and eat.”
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him angrily, knowing that he was pretending not to hear.
But she still obediently picked up the eggs and ate them.
She was going along with him already. Couldn’t he be gentler toward her?
After eating the eggs, she continued saying, “Anyway, I don’t want to go to America, I want to stay in China.”
She made clear her stance. If he still insisted on going to America, then he would have to go alone!
Of course, she didn’t say that part.
If she were to say that, it would really start a quarrel.
She didn’t want to fight with him.
Yin Shaojie grabbed a wet tissue and wiped her hands, his black eyes looking at her as he said, “Then tell me why do you have to stay in China? Why don’t you want to go to America? Who are you staying for?”
Obviously, the emphasis was on the last sentence.
Mu Xiaoxiao lost her poise and felt as though she had been seen through.
The guy was too sharp-eyed. It seemed as though nothing could elude him when he was staring at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped talking and lowered her head to eat her food as she thought about what to say next.
After a while, she was full, and she looked up at him.
“Okay, I’ll tell you why.”
Since he wanted an answer, she would tell him.
She knew that she had to convince Yin Shaojie, otherwise it wouldn’t be good for them to stay in this deadlock. She might even end up boarding the plane if it were to continue.
Yin Shaojie looked at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed away her chair and stood up, extending her hand out to him.
Seeing the way she was trying to get on his good side, his gaze softened, and he took her little hand.
