The man didn't even raise his head.
"I suggest that we kiss before dinner to improve our relationship," Ye Beisheng suggested, not feeling awkward at all.
"So, there's something we can do to improve our relationship?"
Ye Beisheng quickly answered, "It's precisely because we don't have feelings for each other now that we need to kiss more to cultivate them!"
Huo Xiting's dark eyes flickered, and he didn't look at her. "Mrs. Huo, please mind your manners."
Her face turned red.
Ye Beisheng gulped as she stuttered, "I... I... We're already married! What's wrong with us kissing?!"
Huo Xiting paused and slowly said the words one by one. "It seems like Mrs. Huo is satisfied with our marriage?"
Ye Beisheng's alarm immediately went off, and she hurriedly put down her chopsticks. She almost made an oath as she said, "Of course I am!"
After all, Huo Xiting was her medicine. She had worked so hard to recover her taste buds all these years, but now that Huo Xiting was sitting across from her, why wouldn't she be happy?
Ye Beisheng's face turned red, and she stuttered.
"Ninth Master, why don't you believe I've fallen in love with you? I... love you, and so I want to improve our relationship, can't I?"
Huo Xiting narrowed his eyes and didn't expose the woman's embarrassment. He just said casually, "You love me?"
"Yes!" Ye Beisheng nodded her head vigorously.
Seeing that Huo Xiting no longer spoke, Ye Beisheng looked around awkwardly.
Why wasn't he saying anything? Doesn't he agree with what she was saying?
So... she could kiss him now because she loved him so much, right?
Ye Beisheng immediately gathered her courage and suppressed her heart that was about to jump out of her throat. She closed his eyes, gritted her teeth, and was about to kiss the man in front of him like a warrior ready for her death.
Then she suddenly heard Huo Xiting's voice.
"It's a pity..." The man slowed down his tone. He turned his head slightly when she was about to touch his lips.
"It's a pity that I'm not the least bit interested in you."
Ye Beisheng's head froze in mid-air.
After trying for a long time, she still couldn't kiss him. She gritted her teeth, seeing that the food was about to turn cold.
How could there be such an unromantic man?
"It's okay, Mr. Huo," Ye Beisheng said with a sinister smile after taking a deep breath. "I love you. Although I can't get your heart, I'm happy with just having your body. So, let's kiss, okay?"
His body?
Huo Xiting raised his eyes slightly. This woman initially wanted a divorce, but her attitude changed after knowing his identity. Plus, given how she was short on money, he quickly figured out the reason.
But now she was saying that she loved him? She even said she only wanted his body, even if she couldn't capture his heart.
However, she looked like she wanted to die while trying to kiss him, as she was speaking as if she loved him.
Huo Xiting didn't know why, but he suddenly felt upset. His fingers suddenly turned pale. "You're full of lies."
Ye Beisheng's face turned even paler when she heard this, and her lips, which were about to touch his lips, stopped in their tracks.
After a moment of silence, she shrank back and continued eating rice from her bowl.
Huo Xiting sneered and looked away from her.
Huo Xiting seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly opened the WeChat interface and sent a message to his junior's account: [Are you the one who hacked into the database of Ningan Hospital?]
The more Ye Beisheng thought about it, the angrier she got. Why did Huo Xiting look down on her? What right did he have to say that she didn't respect herself? They were already married. What was a man like him reserved for?
She no longer wanted to eat. Her phone vibrated, and she turned her head back to read the message.
Then, she was completely stunned.
