The voice was soft, with a hint of inexplicable coquettishness.
"...?" The butler stiffened the moment he heard it.
That creepy, hair-raising feeling washed over him again.
He looked nervously at Luo Tiantian. "Miss Luo, is something wrong?"
"...Nothing's wrong."
Luo Tiantian forced a stiff smile.
"Oh, that's good then."
The butler visibly relaxed, even exaggeratedly patted his own chest in relief.
"..." Luo Tiantian pressed her lips together.
She couldn't help but sneak glances at Xue Feimo again and again.
The plain white rice in her bowl lost all its aroma and sweetness.
All the delicious Chinese and Western dishes on the table suddenly turned tasteless.
Her heart was hanging entirely on that blue lobster, which reeked of money.
Xue Feimo noticed all of Luo Tiantian's little actions, and continued unhurriedly eating the lobster with his fork.
He even commented while eating, "Mm, the meat is tender, smooth, rich, sweet..."
Luo Tiantian had never before felt that Xue Feimo's magical voice could be so infuriating.
Every compliment that came out of his mouth made her teeth itch.
And now, the whole lobster seemed about to end up in Xue Feimo's stomach, just like those precious Yangtze shad.
Luo Tiantian lowered her gaze and, where Xue Feimo couldn't see, bit her lip in frustration.
Finally, when she heard him say, "Not only does it have that rich, luscious lobster flavor, but there's also a hint of ocean saltiness..." Luo Tiantian lost it completely.
"Bang!"
Her chopsticks slammed onto the table with a loud noise.
"..." Xue Feimo paused, his expression frosty, saying nothing.
He turned his head to look at Luo Tiantian, who seemed even more shocked than he was, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Was his little darling finally showing her claws?
No more pretending to be a harmless bunny?
"Uh..." Luo Tiantian snapped back to her senses.
She shrank her neck guiltily and winked at Xue Feimo.
With that little wink, all the guilt and awkwardness on her face faded away instantly.
And instead, she put on her most innocent face.
She pouted mischievously and said with grievance, "Future hubby, someone bullied me."
Xue Feimo: "!!!???"
For the first time ever, Xue Feimo actually choked on his own saliva.
In his heart, he was floored by how thick-skinned and quick to change faces Luo Tiantian was.
And yet, he subconsciously asked, "Who bullied you?"
The second the words were out, he nearly bit his own tongue off.
What the hell kind of question was that?
Was he, the mighty and decisive CEO, really being led astray by a little girl?
His thoughts were in chaos, but his face gave nothing away.
Except for those tightly furrowed brows, which betrayed his displeasure.
"You did." Luo Tiantian didn't care about his shock at all, pouting even more pitifully.
"..." Xue Feimo was stunned for a moment, then said gruffly, "Butler, call the doctor over."
Then he gave Luo Tiantian a look as if she were an idiot, stood up, and walked off.
The butler hurried after him, handing him a hot towel. "Young Master, please wait a moment, I'll arrange it now."
Luo Tiantian watched them leave, her peach blossom eyes curving up in a bright smile.
She looked like two adorable crescent moons—absolutely cute.
"Tsk tsk tsk, every bite tastes like money!"
Luo Tiantian used her chopsticks to pick up the untouched piece of lobster on Xue Feimo's plate, feeling both curious and thrilled.
Xue Feimo, who had already entered the elevator, turned around just in time to catch Luo Tiantian's smug look.
Xue Feimo's eyelid twitched as he hit the pause button.
He said darkly, "Make sure the family doctor gives the 'future Mrs. Xue' a full check-up."
After a pause, he added, "Especially the brain."
