Chapter 391
Tong Yan was not happy again.
He was really different from the majority of male companions. Most of the lovers that Xu Xinduo knew were couples that had boys who coaxed their female counterparts more often than not.
Being with Tong Yan, however, seemed like she was the one who coaxed him more.
Well, she was waiting for the contract, so she could make up for it this way.
Tong Yan headed downstairs with Xu Xinduo and the two sat in the dining hall. The servants quickly brought over their dinner.
The meal was not extravagant, but it was well done. The chefs at home were specially hired, and they were all at a hotel-level skill in terms of both taste and presentation.
In addition, the Tong family paid attention to the sense of elegance at the table, so the utensils for serving dishes were extremely well selected. The casual spoons and forks were designed according to ergonomic shapes and were purely handmade.
After the servants all left, Xu Xinduo rolled a ball of pasta with her fork and fed it to Tong Yan’s mouth. He glanced at the forkful of pasta and then at Xu Xinduo before he reluctantly opened his mouth and took a bite.
Xu Xinduo suddenly said in surprise, “Oh my God, my spare tire looks so handsome when he’s eating.”
Tong Yan was coaxed to better spirits again.
Sigh, how unreasonable.
He sat comfortably on the chair and laughed for a long time, the mouthful of noodles in his mouth seemingly taking him forever to swallow.
When the two of them ate together, they habitually didn’t talk much. Xu Xinduo then raised her leg and put it on Tong Yan’s knee, looking carefree.
Tong Yan glanced at her but didn’t care at all as he just continued to eat.
After eating, he carried Xu Xinduo and went upstairs directly into his bedroom.
Xu Xinduo originally planned to take a nap, but Tong Yan was behaving so coquettishly that she had to accompany him.
Tong Yan said pitifully, “Now that my little sun can accompany me for one night, what should we do?”
His eyes reflected his desire.
Xu Xinduo looked at him and smiled before she picked up her bag and took out a book, “Ding ding ding, this is a book that has 100 high-scoring essays for junior high school students! I’ll read it to you tonight, okay?”
“…” Tong Yan looked at Xu Xinduo blankly; the Young Lady Tong(1) who was coaxed just now had once again become unhappy.
(T/N: We all know that Tong Yan is a guy, but it’s a saying that Young Ladies of rich families are more prone to throw tantrums and behave badly to get what they want. Stereotype or not, there is some truth to it, so it’s a way of saying that he’s behaving like a lady right now)
Xu Xinduo dragged Tong Yan to stand by the wall with her as she began to read the composition to him vividly. Tong Yan was dejected when he heard it. If she were reading essays of high school standards, he might have reacted a little better, but she decided to recite junior high school essays?
Who was she looking down on?!
Tong Yan listened to her rather lifelessly. In the end, he leaned on Xu Xinduo and she compromised.
