Chapter 1473 - His Throat Constricted
The 99th Divorce
When Ye Youyou saw his fathomless gaze, her face reddened. She placed the bread back on the plate and said, âYou...â
Unperturbed, Li Jinnan reached over to take the bread. âThank you.â
Just as he said his thanks and his hand touched the bread, Ye Youyou stopped him with her hand. She was visibly annoyed as she protested, âWhat are you doing?â
âAre you giving your bread to me?â he asked. âItâll be a waste if I donât take it.â
âNot at all! Put it down!â If she allowed Li Jinnan to have the slice, would he end up eating the part that her lips had touched?
That would be disgusting! No way!
When Li Jinnan heard that, he looked toward her hand on his and said, âYouâre the one whoâs taking advantage of me.â
Ye Youyou immediately snatched her hand back. Li Jinnan happily picked up the piece of toast and ate it in contentment.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou...â Ye Youyouâs face heated up even more. Li Jinnan looked like such a decent man. She had never expected him to behave like such a thug.
He is even fighting with me for food. This fellow is despicable!
Li Jinnan pretended like he hadnât noticed anything and pushed the sandwich over. He said, âI donât like to eat sandwiches.â
Ye Youyou had already eaten half the toast, so her stomach was half full. Just by looking at the whole sandwich, she knew there was no way sheâd be able to finish it. Considering that Li Jinnan had wolfed the remaining half of the toast down, she had nothing but sausages and biscuits left.
Annoyed, she picked the sandwich up. It didnât take more than two mouthfuls for Ye Youyou to lose her appetite. The sandwich was unpalatable. It was no wonder that Li Jinnan refused to eat it.
Hmph! How scheming is this guy?
Ye Youyou placed the sandwich down and ate the sausage instead. She picked up her fork and knife. Picturing the sausage as Li Jinnan, she cut it up into eight smaller pieces. She felt a lot better after that.
After a few mouthfuls, she suddenly realized that the sandwich in front of her was gone.
She looked up and saw that Li Jinnan was eating the sandwich that she had abandoned.
âDidnât you say that you didnât like it?â Ye Youyou cried out between clenched teeth.
Li Jinnan didnât bother looking up as he replied, âYouâre so wasteful. Itâs just too bad that Iâm here with you and will have to finish up your leftovers.â
Ye Youyou grew angrier and protested, âYouâre the one who stole my toast! Obviously I wouldnât be able to finish such a huge sandwich!â
âBut, you had enough appetite for the sausage,â Li Jinnan rebutted her calmly. He looked at her matter-of-factly. âHmph, itâs so obvious that you just didnât want to eat it.â
âYou didnât want to eat it either!â she exclaimed
âThatâs why I gave it to you,â he said.
âYou didnât want it and gave it to me instead?â Ye Youyou asked. âAm I a rubbish bin?â
âNo. I was just modestly declining it,â Li Jinnan said.
âBull! You clearly didnât want to eat it,â she said.
âAm I not eating it now?â Li Jinnan looked at her solemnly and asked, âHow can you twist the facts like that?â
Ye Youyou was speechless. She had finally experienced it. Such shameless people existed in this world.
There was no way she could out-talk this fellow. And she was being accused by the perpetrator himself.
Ye Youyou laughed in exasperation and said, âI never knew you were such a good talker.â
âIâm just average.â Li Jinnan was being modest. âJust a little better than you.â
Ye Youyou forcefully pierced her fork into a sausage and took an angry bite out at it. She deliberately didnât bite it off cleanly. Instead, she violently tore it off.
Li Jinnanâs throat constricted. He felt his mouth and tongue go dry.
This is madness!
