Watching Yu Zi eat with gusto gave him a better appetite too. Although she did not pretend while she was eating, she did not eat like a slob either. She ate everything cleanly, with a hint of elegance. He could tell that it was a habit instilled in her since her childhood, which just showed how well she was taught at home.

At the same time, however, he felt a little down. She could eat in front of him so carelessly because he had no place in her heart, right?

If she fancied him even a little, she would definitely take more care.

Yan Huaian was completely conflicted between his joy and dejection.

Yu Zi did not understand how conflicted Yan Huaian was at all, however, eating as she praised him, “Your food’s really delicious, even more authentic than the stuff they make at those American style restaurants.”

“You like to eat hot food, so I paid special attention to that,” Yan Huaian said with a laugh. “I never asked you, do you prefer a Western-style breakfast or the traditional food we eat here?”

Since he had studied in the UK before, he was better at making Western-style breakfasts. It looked simple, but it took quite a lot of effort.

Yu Zi felt that she was eating Yan Huaian’s breakfast for free, and he had gotten up so early to prepare the food, so there was no way she could bring herself to make more demands.

Besides, compared to the stuff she had been eating before, this was practically the five-star treatment.

Before, she would even chew on some bread accompanied by the cold air on the way to work. Now she was inside, eating a hot sandwich. There was plenty of filling, and the bread was soft on the inside while still crispy on the outside. She even had a cup of hot chocolate to drink. If this was a weekend, she would feel even more relaxed.

That was why Yu Zi shook her head and said, “I’m not picky, both are tasty. As long as it’s hot, I love it all the same.”

As she said that, she took another large bite of the sandwich to show that she was not just saying it to be polite.

Yan Huaian was glad to hear that too, but he still had his own plans in mind.

After eating, Yan Huaian took out another small lunch box and gave it to Yu Zi.

Yu Zi took off the cover to see that the little lunch box was filled with different compartments of cut fruits. There were apples, oranges, kiwis, and even cherry tomatoes. Next to the fruits, there was another small compartment just for the fruit fork.

Since the fruits were all already neatly cut, she did not have to touch them with her fingers. She could just eat them with the fork.

By this point, Yu Zi was stunned by Yan Huaian’s considerateness.

“I invited you over last minute last night, so I didn’t prepare anything much. From now on, I’ll prepare after-meal fruits for you every day. You can eat them in the car or back at your company,” Yan Huaian said.

Yu Zi held the lunch box, unable to put her feelings into words. It felt as though something was different, like something warm flowed past her heart.

Lowering her head to look at the fruits, she still could not believe that a man could be this detailed.

“I’ll go get a coat, and then we can leave,” Yan Huaian said, turning to go to the cloakroom.

While Yan Huaian was away, Yu Zi looked down at the different types of fruits. They were brightly-colored and pretty, and just looking at them made her feel better.

She could not help but hold her chest. What was up with this feeling of warmth from being cared about so delicately and whole-heartedly?

Her heart seemed to be beating faster too.

You would only care so much for someone when they have a place in your heart.

Otherwise, who would pay so much attention to longer?

Was Yan Huaian paying attention to her, though?

A strange feeling swept past Yu Zi’s heart, and she put her hand to her chest, massaging it slightly. However, even that could not wave away that strange sensation.

Before she could figure it out, Yan Huaian had already emerged with his suit coat. He put it on as he walked, his every move indescribably cool.

When he caught her staring at him rather dazedly, he smiled slightly and walked up to her, standing in front of her.

His voice was deep and graceful. “What’s the matter?”

Yu Zi was called back to her senses, and she hurriedly shook her head. “Nothing.”

Her random thoughts earlier made her too afraid to look Yan Huaian directly in the eyes. She lowered her head guiltily, her long lashes fluttering as her gaze fell onto Yan Huaian’s suit coat.

Just then, he was holding the button with his long fingers. His fingers were slightly bent, making each joint even more pronounced than usual. They looked like stalks of bamboo on his long, slender and fair jade-like fingers.

Yan Huaian was confused. After he observed Yu Zi quietly for a moment, he still could not figure her out. Reaching out his hand to take the lunch box of fruits back from her, he covered it and put it into a lunch bag, holding it for Yu Zi for now.

Lowering his eyes, his deep gaze fell onto her chest. Although she had brought her hand down to her side, he still could not put the scene he had seen out of his mind.

He swallowed, his smooth so dry that it burned painfully. The image he had seen on her couch earlier that morning kept flashing in his mind.

His nose felt a little hot, and Yan Huaian raised his head slightly. It felt like he would not be able to face Yu Zi calmly, without a single errant thought in his head, anymore today.

“Let’s go,” Yan Huaian said with some difficulty. His voice was still hoarse and somewhat taut, sounding a little different from usual.

That made Yu Zi raise her head and glance at him, but Yan Huaian kept his face straight, so she never managed to read anything from his expression.

Since the law firm was exactly on the way to Yan Hui, it seemed that before they knew it, the two of them had unanimously agreed to go to work together.

This was unlike the way they had to talk about eating together. When it came to going to work together, the two of them never discussed it over. It just happened so naturally.

In the car, Yu Zi put the lunch box of fruits on her lap and took out a small mirror to apply her lipstick with.

The color she used was not quite mild, probably because she wanted to give off a bold and professional vibe. It seemed like a lawyer should carry herself with some force, so if her make-up was too faint, she would come off as just another young girl. It probably would not do too much for her clients’ confidence in her.Read more chapter on our vipnovel.com

Aside from her lipstick, Yu Zi’s make-up was not too thick and heavy. She only put on a thin layer of foundation to smoothen out her complexion. Yu Zi was fair and had good skin, so she did not have any blackheads or acne marks. It was almost as though she had never undergone puberty like most other women had.

The foundation she used came with a hint of blush, so that thin layer she applied made her skin fair and rosy. She looked very healthy.

She did not apply too much make-up to her eyes either, only using her eyeliner and layering a few earthy shades of eyeshadow. It was not very obvious, looking low-key and self-contained.

She had forgotten which show she had seen this one, but it said that if she wore heavy eye make-up, she would have to wear mild lipstick. On the other hand, if her lipstick was a striking color, her eye make-up had to be faint, or else others would not know where on her face to look.

Yu Zi did not know who she got this trait from, but she naturally loved to look pretty. She was very dedicated to her skincare, using masks with different effects and properties every day of the week.

That was how she managed to maintain her skin quality. Right now, she was using YSL Rouge Pur Couture Mat 202, and it fit her lips perfectly. The description said it was rose-colored, but that did not quite cover it. The color was very special, a little like rose red, but it was a very bright shade of red that shone especially nicely in the sun. It was not too forceful and overbearing, but it did not give her the appearance of unreliable youth.

To quote a cliche, it had the color of a femme fatale.

Until now, Yu Zi had yet to find a similar color that could compare with any other brand.

Her skin was naturally fair, so this color made it look even whiter, a slightly cold shade of white.

After she put on the makeup, she looked at herself in the mirror a little longer. When she could not find any flaws, she finally put her mirror away.

Although Yan Huaian was keeping his eyes on the road next to her, he was still watching her from the corners of his eyes. Seeing how casual she was being with him, he was somehow in a better mood.

It was like she was his girlfriend or even his wife, what with the way she did her make-up unabashedly in the car.

Yu Zi put her things away and snuck a glance at Yan Huaian. She wondered, what did he think of this lipstick color?

She had just bought this lipstick, and it had arrived at her house by mail just a few days ago. Initially, she had intended to find an opportunity to put it on and show Yue Jingchen, asking him if this color really made her look like a femme fatale. She no longer had the chance to do that now, though.

Usually, she kept two or three different colors of lipstick in her bag. Although she had never used this color before, for some reason, when she had finished drinking the coffee Yan Huaian brought over earlier this morning, and as she was putting things into her bag before going out, she put this lipstick inside as well.

When she took out her portable mirror to put on her lipstick just now, she hesitated for a moment too, but eventually she took out this lipstick after all.

Yu Zi could not help but laugh at herself self-deprecatingly. To think that Yue Jingchen never got to see it, but in the end Yan Huaian did instead.

However, Yan Huaian did not seem to react to the color of the lipstick, and she was too embarrassed to take the initiative and ask.

Most importantly, she had no idea what she was thinking now, what she really thought of Yan Huaian.

She also did not know when she randomly started to care what he thought.

Yu Zi pulled her gaze back and lowered her head, lost in thought.

The cat stopped steadily by the curb outside the law firm. As Yu Zi was about to get out, however, she noticed that Yan Huaian had turned to look at her, as though there was something he wanted to say.

With her hand on the door handle, she looked at Yan Huaian, confused.

Only then did he say with a smile, “The color of the lipstick you’re wearing today is very pretty.”

Her lips were in good shape, so even though she used a matte color, her lips did not look dry. Even her lips’ natural condition and touch left her itching to try and kiss her.

Liu Jiamu was on good personal terms with him, so when they were not at work, Liu Jiamu did not hold back when talking to her.
