"I don't like sweets."
Leng Zimo put his plate in front of her, understanding her too well. He knew why she wasn't eating the steak and had seen the longing look she gave the steak plate earlier. His heart ached for her, but he didn't want to point it out. As soon as dessert arrived, he immediately offered it to her.
"Thank you!"
Luo Xiaoqian ate the cake with big bites, returning his smile.
"What a coincidence, I also don't like sweets!"
Jiao Yang smiled, then placed his plate in front of Luo Xiaoqian as well.
Luo Xiaoqian found herself in a difficult position. Saying she didn't like the cake now would make the lie too obvious, so she had no choice but to thank him too.
Bite by bite by bite...
With the first piece of cake, it was a delight.
Eating Leng Zimo's piece was still a delight.
But by the time she got to Jiao Yang's piece, her stomach was already full, and she had to keep forcing it down, which was truly torture.
