One Thing Subdues the Other

"Come in!" A deep voice was heard, and there was no emotion in it.

Ye Jiu took a deep breath again, pushed the door open, and walked into Chu Mo's study.

In her previous life, she had sneaked into this study a few times in order to set up Chu Mo's "evidence".

To her, this study was dark, and the furniture was so heavy that it made people feel depressed.

Today, when she pushed the door open and walked in, she realized that this place was completely different from her impression.

In the spacious study, there was only a set of desk and chair and two bookcases on the walls.

At this moment, Chu Mo was sitting at his desk and looking at the documents in his hands.

He did not notice who came in and only whispered, "What is it? Tell me!"

"I... Am here to bring you coffee," Ye Jiu said softly and looked at Chu Mo. .

Chu Mo heard her and raised his head. He did not expect Ye Jiu to appear in front of him.

"Um... Can I come in?" Ye Jiu asked as she saw that Chu Mo was staring at her without any reaction.

Chu Mo retracted his stunned expression and said, "Come in."

It was the first time that Ye Jiu was invited into the study, and there was actually a trace of joy in her heart.

She walked to Chu Mo's table and placed the coffee cup gently in front of him. "Nanny Li said that you like this kind of flavor."

Chu Mo was not used to Ye Jiu's sudden change, and he only stared at her as she slowly withdrew her hand from his face.

"Yes..." Chu Mo replied faintly.

"I wanted to ask if you wanted to eat something together." Ye Jiu looked at Chu Mo, unable to take her eyes off his face.

Chu Mo raised his head slightly and looked at Ye Jiu. He did not understand why the person who had been deliberately avoiding him was acting so strangely today.

"Did something happen to her brain?" Chu Mo could not help but start to think in a strange direction.

But then, he laughed lightly and denied his own thoughts.

Seeing the slight change in Chu Mo's expression, Ye Jiu asked curiously, "Why? Can't we?"

Chu Mo looked at Ye Jiu again. Her expectant expression made his heart skip a beat. "Didn't you eat anything?"

"I ate the porridge that Little Yu sent this afternoon..." Ye Jiu answered honestly. She could not let Chu Yu be scolded by Chu Mo...

Chu Mo nodded slightly and said, "If you're hungry, go and ask Nanny Li to prepare food for you..."

"What about you?" Ye Jiu asked before Chu Mo could finish.

"I... I'm not hungry yet." Chu Mo glanced at the pile of documents at the side.

Ye Jiu replied with an "Oh" and said, "I'm not hungry now. Let's eat together when you're hungry later, okay?"

Hearing Ye Jiu's pleading tone, Chu Mo sighed and said, "Okay."

"Then you go ahead. I'll wait for you over there..." Ye Jiu said and walked to the bookshelf at the side.

There was a ladder at the side of the bookshelf. It was the only place in the study where she could sit and wait.

Chu Mo frowned and looked at Ye Jiu sitting on the ladder with her head lowered. She looked depressed.

He tried his best to focus on the document in his hand.

His eyes were staring at the document, but Chu Mo could clearly hear Ye Jiu's breathing not far away.

After about five minutes, Chu Mo finally could not hold it in anymore..

He stood up abruptly.

Ye Jiu who was staring at the tiles in front of her in boredom, did not expect Chu Mo to make such a sudden move. She staggered and almost fell down from the ladder.

She quickly steadied herself and looked at Chu Mo in confusion. "You... re you done?"

Chu mo answered with a "Hmm" in annoyance. He walked to the door of the study and ordered, "Ask Nanny Li to prepare dinner."

When the butler heard Chu Mo's order, he could not help but smile.

If he remembered correctly, it had only been ten minutes since Chu Mo had entered his study..

It seemed like someone could finally deal with Young Master's bad habit of not eating when he was busy!

The butler quickly passed on a message to Nanny Li to prepare dinner for Young Master and Miss Ye.

Even though Nanny Li was a little surprised, she nodded with a smile. "That's great! It'll be more delicious if the two of them eat together!"

Ever since Miss Ye came to the Chu family, they hardly saw Young Master eating in the dining hall.

This was because every time the Young Master appeared, Miss Ye would leave in a hurry. Otherwise, she would be extremely picky about the food.

Later on, when Miss Ye was eating, the Young Master no longer appeared...
