Chapter 8: Affection is the Show

Ning Xiaofei pulled Mu Tianye to sit down and unceremoniously took the seat next to him, which belonged to Ji Jing. Barely touching the chair, she immediately turned her face to a waiter and commanded, "Quickly add a set of cutlery for my husband!"

Left a "husband," right a "husband," she called out affectionately and smoothly.

Had she finally learned to be obedient?!

Mu Tianye gave a sidelong glance at the girl next to him.

Her lips were still slightly swollen, the usually tender ones now a rose-like color. As she spoke, her lips parted, making them appear exceptionally vivid, like petals trembling in the breeze, tempting one to steal a fragrant kiss.

Compared to her boisterous drunkenness from yesterday, this girl was now as docile as a kitten.

As the waiter added the cutlery, Ning Xiaofei immediately took chopsticks for him. Yet, instead of handing them over, she picked up a shrimp from the plate in front of her with the chopsticks.

"Husband, you must be hungry, let me peel a shrimp for you."

Right now, she needed to rely on Mu Tianye to sing her song of triumph, so of course, she had to cater well to this valuable Buddha.

Ning Xiaofei eagerly curried favor, fearing that he would turn against her at the dining table and that she could no longer wield power under false pretenses. She quickly peeled the shrimp, meticulously removed the vein, and then placed it into his plate, saying sweetly, "Here, husband, have some shrimp!"

Mu Tianye didn't move.

His presence here today was solely due to a call from his grandfather, who had instructed him to definitely attend Old Ji's banquet, otherwise, he wouldn't waste his time coming here.

As soon as he had walked in, he had decided to sit for five minutes and then leave, having a meeting in the afternoon, his time wouldn't be wasted on such a tedious meal.

He had already had lunch and wasn't particularly interested in these greasy-looking foods.

Ning Xiaofei's enthusiasm was met with no response, and fearing that the few opposite would see through her, she immediately stretched out her hand, grabbed the shrimp, and brought it to his lips, using a coy tone to say, "Oh you, wanting me to feed you in front of all these people?"

Her voice was coy, but Ning Xiaofei's heart was already clenched in anger.

The bastard Mu Tianye, if he dared not to eat, she would stuff it into his nose!

Worried that he wouldn't eat, Ning Xiaofei gently flicked his lips with her fingers, the girl's delicate movements soft to the touch. Her fingertips grazed his lips, sending an unusual ripple through his heart.

Mu Tianye glanced at her askance, aware that she was simply leveraging his influence, but still, he slightly parted his lips.

Ning Xiaofei quietly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stuffed the shrimp into his mouth. She withdrew her fingers, noticing a bit of shrimp meat on her fingertips, and instinctively brought her fingers to her lips. She extended her little tongue and wrapped it around the shrimp meat into her mouth.

From last night until now, she hadn't eaten a thing. She didn't know if he were hungry, but she was already so famished she could hardly wait to dig in.

Compared to the sycophantic faces of the Ji Family, this girl was far more interesting.

Noticing that Ning Xiaofei had already peeled the second shrimp, Mu Tianye immediately spoke up.

"Mine!"
