Although, a good performance by Lee Yin-Yin wasn't enough to impress Tong Yue-Yan. Inside Tong Yue-Yan’s eyes; Lee Yin-Yin was nothing more than a mere singer. Often, Tong Yue-Yan would look over to Yang Tian-Xu side and notices he had been placing food on Wang Yi-An’s plate. Tong Yue-Yan never thought there could be anything more to it and only believed Yang Tian-Xu was being nice towards his employee. As a matter of fact; the best employer of the year title belonged to Yang Corps. Tong Yue-Yan thought perhaps he was trying to show this new intern, why, Yang Corp ranked first place as best employers. Tong Yue-Yan didn’t want to miss this chance to show her “Future Mrs Yang” semblance. And so she had used her public chopstick to take a piece of the fried chicken dish and place it in Wang Yi-An’s bowl. “Here, try this as well; the favours here are delicious.”
"Thank you very much, Miss Tong." A sincere gratitude from Wang Yi-An as she placed the food in her mouth. Yang Tian-Xu would frown his brows, he wanted her to eat only the food he picked for her. "Here, try these." he said, as he placed more food on Wang Yi-An's plate.
Wang Yi-An said with a bright smile on her face, “Thank you, President Yang! You are all such kind people! Here, have some too!” she then picked a piece of the food from the serving plates with her private chopsticks for both Yang Tian-Xu and Tong Yue-Yan.
Born from a poor family, they only used one type of chopstick to eat and server their food with, however, wealthy families are different. The two different chopsticks have different purposes. Chinese dinner comprised many side dishes of food. Like stir-fried, sweet and sour pork, or BBQ meat; laid out on the dinning table. To select a piece of food on those side dishes, people have to use the public chopstick and place it into their own side bowl or plates. To transfer foods from their plates into their mouths they would use private chopsticks. This way, there won't be any cross contamination of germs or saliva among them, a more sanitising table manner.
However, Wang Yi-An never have to deal with public or private chopsticks, she wasn't aware about it. Born in a single family home. Her mother wasn’t wealthy, so how could Wang Yi-An know about the differences? At home, Wang Yi-An and her mother used one kind of chopstick; the same one to pick food off the serving plates of foods, and place them inside their mouths. She never had to use a public chopstick; there was no such thing as family etiquettes when she’s with her mother. Sometimes, they'll take food off the serving plates and feed them directly into each other’s mouths. At home, Wang Yi-An raised without family etiquette, and it shows in her table manners.
The rest of these people who were present there at the dinning table were all from wealthy families, except Assistant Tseng; he was born in a middle class family like Lee Yin-Yin was until she became rich and famous as a singer. However, even the middle class family knew about dinning etiquettes. Everyone stared at her as she places food on both Tong Yue-Yan's plate and Yang Tian-Xu's plate. Tong Yue-Yan wasn’t so happy, and find it disgusting, and so she wouldn’t even touch the food given by Wang Yi-An and push the plate away.
However, as for Yang Tian-Xu, he smiled as he took the food and placed it in his mouth. “This one tasted delicious.” He chews and smiled as he continues to eat and wanted her to take more food for him. “Can you give me some more?”
“Ah, sure. You want these?” She asked, and he nodded, and then she continued to use her own private chopsticks to take another piece of food and places it in Yang Tian-Xu’s bowl. Tong Yue-Yan felt disgusted by it, and could only shake her head and told her, “Don’t you know how to use a public chopstick? You’re feeding everyone your saliva.”
Wang Yi-An looked at everyone and finally notices that people are taking food with another pair of chopsticks. “Oh, sorry, I didn’t know we have to use a separate pair of chopsticks.” Wang Yi-An felt embarrassed. However, Yang Tian-Xu didn’t mind. In fact, he was happy to eat her saliva.
Yang Tian-Xu felt like he had an indirect kiss with her, so he speaks up, “It’s okay, you don’t have to be so formal with me. I don’t mind if you used your private chopstick. Just eat comfortably.”
How can anyone else complains after hearing Yang Tian-Xu said those words? Yang Tian-Xu is a man of high-class, born and raised in a wealthy powerhouse. The Yang family was all about table manners and etiquettes.
Yang Tian-Xu continues to use his public chopsticks to take some food and place it on a separate plate for Wang Yi-An to take from.
Yang Tian-Xu acted like he was helping her take food from far away places and placing it closer to Wang Yi-An. However, Yang Tian-Xu was personally afraid that she’ll share her saliva with the rest of them and wanted her all to himself.
“However, it’s better for these guys if you use a public chopstick, or better I’ll take a few foods for you. How about it? Here, let me place the food closer to you here, so you don’t have to worry about public chopstick or private chopstick with the rest.” he said as he placed more food on her plate.
“Thank you, President Yang! You are indeed a kind boss!” Wang Yi-An smiled at him and continues to use her own private chopstick to pick the food off the separator plate.
Yang Tian-Xu had taken a lot of food, she couldn’t possibly finish it herself, so she grabbed some food and places it in his bowl. “President Yang, you have given me too much food, I can’t finish them all!”
“Oh?” Yang Tian-Xu let out a smirk, and said, “How about we share them together.”
Jin Qi-Long and Assistant Tseng could both feel the goosebumps on their skins as they watch the expression on Yang Tian-Xu’s face. Yang Tian-Xu was happy, and he couldn’t be any more delighted that he is sharing food with Wang Yi-An.
Yang Tian-Xu and Wang Yi-An would exchange food into each other's bowl. However, this did not make Tong Yue-Yan or Lee Yin-Yin jealous.
All they thought was that perhaps Wang Yi-An is very closed to Yang Tian-Xu, or because she is his intern he acted nice towards her? And so they thought perhaps Wang Yi-An is their key to get closer to Yang Tian-Xu.
