Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058

"Don't look down on people. Can't this beautiful lady suddenly challenge herself?"

Yao Mingyue hummed and directly shouted, "Boss, give me a bowl of spicy soup, the spiciest one!"

The boss looked at the bickering young couple and glanced at Xu Musen with a chuckle.

Xu Musen also helplessly smiled, "One bowl, please, and another bowl of sweet tofu pudding."

The boss quickly served up a bowl of spicy soup and tofu pudding, along with a sugar cake and a basket of steamed dumplings.

The tables at the breakfast stall were all greasy. In the past, Yao Mingyue hardly ever came to places .

But this time, Yao Mingyue simply wiped the bench and sat down. She looked at the steaming spicy soup and then at Xu Musen's sweet tofu pudding, feeling smug.

"You're so lame, a big guy having sweet tofu pudding for breakfast. You won't be in charge in the future."

Xu Musen smiled as he stirred his tofu pudding, "Just eat yours. Let's see how tough you act later."

"It's just a small bowl of spicy soup, watch as this beautiful lady finishes it in no time!"

Yao Mingyue picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful, blew on it, and took a bite.

"Cough cough... hoo hoo..."

The sudden burst of pepper and chili made her cough and then blow air rapidly.

She'd been eating bland food in the hospital, and suddenly having something so spicy was quite hard for Yao Mingyue to handle.

"Oh, what's wrong? Got burned by the spice?"

Xu Musen, having anticipated this, teased her with a laugh.

Yao Mingyue's face turned slightly red, but she remained defiant, "I just... got hit by the steam. It's not spicy at all!"

Saying this, Yao Mingyue scooped another spoonful, blew on it several times, and put it in her mouth, her whole body turning red like a cooked crab from the spice.

But seeing Xu Musen's amused smile, she still pretended to be tough.

Xu Musen couldn't help but laugh. How could this once proud and domineering CEO sometimes be even more adorable than Nuannuan?

She was like that man in the TV show claiming he loved drinking boiling water.

Her mouth would get burned, yet she'd insist it wasn't hot!

"What's so funny? It's said that those who can eat spicy food can be in charge. Just eat your sweet tofu pudding!"

Yao Mingyue shot a stubborn look at Xu Musen, but looking at the steaming spicy soup in front of her, she truly couldn't eat it. Instead, Xu Musen's sweet tofu pudding looked quite tempting.

"Alright, alright, I know you're great."

Xu Musen swapped their bowls with a chuckle, "From now on, let me eat the spicy stuff."

Xu Musen took a sip of the spicy soup. It was indeed spicy, but also quite satisfying.

Yao Mingyue watched him enjoy the soup and grumbled, "You still can't be in charge..."

She looked down at the well-mixed tofu pudding, realizing that he had ordered it for her all along, already anticipating her reaction... How annoying this synchronization!

The silky, bouncy tofu pudding entered her mouth, sweet and delicious.

Yao Mingyue glanced at Xu Musen, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

Xu Musen finished his spicy soup and looked up to see Yao Mingyue still smirking at him.

Uncharacteristically, Yao Mingyue didn't counter, instead resting her chin in her hand and watching him, "I just think, sometimes you're kind of handsome."

"That's because most of the time your eyesight is poor."

Xu Musen replied bluntly.

"Che, you conceited dog-man!"

Yao Mingyue huffed but still lifted her spoon, offering the last piece of tofu pudding, "Here, the last piece for you to cool the spice."

Xu Musen looked at her, somewhat surprised but smiling.

"What's so funny?" This time it was Yao Mingyue's turn to ask.

"Just didn't expect you to also take care of people now."

"I've always been good at taking care of people..."

Yao Mingyue said, but the more she spoke, the more sheepish she felt, remembering her slightly less rational past self.

"Moreover, didn't you say you haven't agreed to my confession yet, won't even hold hands? Now sharing a spoon, isn't that not very nice?"

Xu Musen playfully brought up the morning's conversation.

"This is called, not wasting food, special circumstances..."

Yao Mingyue mumbled, her voice growing softer. She did pay attention on their way over—so many girls were eyeing him.

What if these spirited young girls got attracted to this scoundrel?

She wasn't intentionally declaring her territory, just... looking out for Nuannuan, yeah, that's it!

Yao Mingyue thought more, her cheeks growing redder, and she ground her little canine teeth, "Are you going to eat it or not?"

Xu Musen didn't disappoint her, eating it without hesitation. The sweet and smooth tofu pudding soothed the lingering spice from the soup.

Yao Mingyue saw him eating without reservation and seemed satisfied, squinting her eyes in delight.

Xu Musen looked at her and suddenly reached out to gently wipe a bit of leftover tofu pudding from the corner of her mouth and put it in his own mouth.

Xu Musen smiled, and though there were plenty of students around, naturally many eyes were drawn to this attractive couple.

Feeding each other was already quite intimate.

But Xu Musen's final move was a total clincher!

Yao Mingyue felt like she might explode like a balloon, her pretty face turning bright red, as if she was the one who had finished a bowl of spicy soup.

It was time for class, and the students quickened their pace towards the school gate.

Yao Mingyue felt dizzy; she'd just wanted to declare her territory and warn away those little fox spirits.

But now she felt like she'd been hit where it hurt.

Seeing Xu Musen's mischievous smile, she found herself unable to cope.

"I'm... I'm going to tell the teacher you're being inappropriate!"

Yao Mingyue stood up, not expecting that the morning's playful banter would come back to her so quickly.

She fled, holding her flushed cheeks, heading for the school entrance.

Xu Musen laughed as he stood up, surrounded by guys filled with envy.

Saying she'd tell the teacher was clearly just playful banter between a couple!

Is this what it feels like to stake a claim?

It was, indeed, quite satisfying.

Xu Musen contentedly wiped his mouth.

With quite a few envious glances from the guys around, he suavely pulled out his wallet.

"Boss, check please!"
