Chapter 359: 392

Chu Mucheng’s thoughts gradually retracted before he opened his eyes to look at the woman in his arms.

Tao Zhixiang’s body was very stiff, so stiff that she even dared not move.

Chu Mucheng knew she was feeling extremely uneasy now.

"Why so rigid? Are you a zombie?"

A hint of displeasure flashed through Chu Mucheng’s tone.

Holding her like this was truly... uncomfortable!

The person in his arms trembled, but did not speak.

Chu Mucheng could feel Tao Zhixiang struggling to suppress her emotions; her silence was a silent resistance towards him.

Chu Mucheng let go of his hold, setting her free.

On the other end, Tao Zhixiang seemed to relax a lot, hurriedly sitting up to put on her clothes.

But Tao Zhixiang couldn’t care less about anything else; she just wanted to quickly dress and leave this place.

Right now, she really didn’t want to face Chu Mucheng anymore.

Doing so would only make her all the more ashamed and uneasy.

However, just when she had put on her clothes and shoes and was about to walk out without looking back, she heard Chu Mucheng say, "I’m hungry!"

In an instant, Tao Zhixiang’s body stiffened in place.

*

Ultimately, Tao Zhixiang did not leave.

She went downstairs, bought some simple ingredients from the supermarket at the gate of the residential complex, and made lunch for Chu Mucheng.

She stood in the kitchen, deftly washing and chopping vegetables, orderly placing them onto plates, then, she turned on the gas, put the frying pan on, began to pour oil, and after it was heated, added the chopped green onions to sauté until fragrant, then dumped in the chopped vegetables and swiftly added various seasonings.

Her movements were orderly, and her figure, as it appeared, was so delicate.

Chu Mucheng had never observed the woman before him as carefully as he did now.

Tao Zhixiang noticed that Chu Mucheng was standing at the doorway watching her, but she didn’t turn around.

She didn’t know whether this mercurial man would flip his mood in the next second, then throw all the food she prepared onto the floor.

The lesson from last time was enough!

She shouldn’t overestimate her own importance!

Actually, she could have left with poise right after getting off the bed, but Chu Mucheng’s phrase "I’m hungry" acted like an immobilization spell, rendering her unable to move.

She knew he was not a good man, yet the image of this man had lingered in her heart for so many years! But he knew nothing about it!

Finally, when the meals were ready, Tao Zhixiang ladled the dishes onto plates and brought them to the dining table.

This dining table... Last time, Chu Mucheng had fiercely flipped it onto the ground, the paint on one corner chipped off, and now looking at that broken, abrupt corner, Tao Zhixiang’s heart twisted in pain again.

Chu Mucheng sat down at the dining table, glancing at Tao Zhixiang.

"Eat with me!"

Startled, Tao Zhixiang bit her lip, shaking her head.

"I’m not hungry!"

"Eat if I told you to eat!"

Chu Mucheng became somewhat irate, his expression darkening even more.

Tao Zhixiang had no choice but to get another pair of chopsticks from the kitchen and then sat opposite him.

Neither of them spoke.

As if... unsure how to break the stalemate before them.

The dishes Tao Zhixiang cooked... tasted quite good, with Chu Mucheng eating a lot more than usual.

After the meal was over, Chu Mucheng looked intently at Tao Zhixiang and said in a deep voice: "From now on, this apartment is yours!"
