Snake spooned up a little potato salad to Gu Mengmeng’s lips, watching her with tender eyes as he waited for her to open her mouth.
Gu Mengmeng blushed uncontrollably. Ever since she could remember, she had never been fed by anyone before. She couldn’t really bear such a flirtatious gesture from Snake so early in the morning.
“This… I can manage myself,” Gu Mengmeng said in a small voice.
She reached up to take over the spoon, but Snake grabbed her hand and placed it around his waist instead.
She was sitting at the dining table while he was leaning against it. The sun shining through the European-style wooden windows lit up Snake’s back and gave him a halo effect. His slender and very nice-looking fingers held the tiny spoon by the side of her mouth. He asked with a smile, “What’s the point of having me as your boyfriend if you are going to do everything yourself?”
Gu Mengmeng’s heart was nearly leaping out of her throat. Thankfully, she was sitting down or she might have gone soft in the knees and collapsed on the floor.
“Ah.” Snake prompted her to open her mouth.
So Gu Mengmeng obediently parted her lips under his watchful gaze. She let him feed her that small portion of potato salad. He then gazed at her with loving and expectant eyes. “Does it taste good?”
Gu Mengmeng’s tongue was numb and she was totally incapable of tasting anything. Her blood was racing wildly inside her so who knew whether that potato salad tasted good?
But regardless of whether she could taste it, Gu Mengmeng obediently nodded.
If for no other reason than the fact that he had gotten up so early in the morning to prepare this breakfast for her, making her feel like the entire world was one sweet, pink bubble.
Was it important what she was eating? Was it really important?! It was not important at all!
Snake’s smile widened. He leaned over and kissed Gu Mengmeng on the lips. His agile tongue slipped into her mouth and took in the lingering taste inside. Straightening back up, Snake gently wiped off the saliva he had left on her lips. He chuckled. “Mmm, I will remember this. In the future, I will prepare this for you according to this exact taste.”
Blushing furiously, Gu Mengmeng gave Snake a shove. “What… I am your special assistant and taking care of your daily three meals is my job. You should let me prepare this for you In the future.”
Snake took two steps back and sat on a chair beside Gu Mengmeng, maintaining a more respectable distance.
Of course he wished to keep sticking close to her, but her heart was beating so hard that he could hear it clearly even when sitting at this distance. If he didn’t back off sooner… she might have a heart attack?
He liked her feeling bashful because of him, but was also afraid of her blowing up on the spot.
He took an elegant sip of milk before answering, “Your boss is your boyfriend so you can take advantage of some special workplace favors. I will accept and cooperate fully.”
“Cough… cough cough cough!” Gu Mengmeng choked and nearly coughed her lungs out.
What special favors?!
So embarrassing!
Snake chuckled and rubbed her back. “Eat slowly. No one is going to take away your food.”
Gu Mengmeng waved and shook her head. “It is still better to draw a clear line between our personal and professional lives.”
It was already very stressful to be in a relationship with Snake. If she didn’t even perform her work duties, she would really feel like she was a kept mistress.
Snake casually shifted back and placed his hands criss-crossed on the table. He looked at Gu Mengmeng. “I remember there was a term in the contract called ‘everything must be arranged to the CEO’s liking’. I like to prepare meals for you and I like to feed you. I also like to have you take advantage of the unspoken rules. If you don’t comply, pay me the compensation fee to dissolve the contract.”
