Bai Yunxia held the black phone without even a case. As expected, important figures use bare phones.
The feel of a bare phone is the most satisfying.
“This phone often has no signal. I send you messages but you frequently don’t receive them,” Bai Yunxia muttered quietly.
She did it on purpose, saying it right in front of Mo Yanzhou to imply he doesn’t reply to messages!
“What about the gift you were going to give me last time?”
So he still remembered!
“But what I bought isn’t this brand. I bought a domestic one. Do you want to use it?” Bai Yunxia’s eyes curved into crescents, her lips smiling sweetly. “I’ll bring it to you in a moment.”
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~
Her stomach growled!
Seriously? At a time like this?
“No rush. Order some takeout first.” Mo Yanzhou unlocked the screen with his fingerprint.
Bai Yunxia scrolled through it. Brother, you don’t even have a food delivery app installed.
She’d have to download one now.
With the time that would take, she might as well drive out to eat.
But given her current makeup and outfit… forget it, better just order takeout obediently.
Bai Yunxia handed the phone back to Mo Yanzhou. “Hubby, where’s the food delivery app on this thing~”
The great CEO could have the household chef make whatever he wanted to eat, and usually dined out anyway—no need for food delivery.
After Mo Yanzhou downloaded the app, he passed the phone back to Bai Yunxia.
The air conditioning in the study was set very low. She wore only a tight white dress, sitting on his lap. The hem of her dress had ridden up, barely covering the top of her thighs, while the low neckline left the decorative bow at the back of her neck serving merely an aesthetic purpose.
Mo Yanzhou silently picked up the air conditioner remote from the desk and raised the temperature.
Bai Yunxia kept her head down, her fair fingers swiping across the screen, completely unaware of Mo Yanzhou’s action.
After placing her order, she handed the phone to him. “Hubby, pay the money~”
This was the first time spending Mo Yanzhou’s money—so exciting!
Even if it was just a small amount.
Mo Yanzhou paid with his fingerprint and set the phone back on the desk. The current issue was: how long was Bai Yunxia going to sit on his lap?
Bai Yunxia went limp and threw herself into his arms. Mo Yanzhou hadn’t showered yet today after working all day, but her little nose sniffed—he didn’t smell bad at all. “I’m a bit cold, hubby, hold me tighter.”
Mo Yanzhou’s deep, unfathomable dark eyes fixed on the air conditioner remote displaying 26°C. Maybe the temperature hadn’t risen yet.
He raised his left hand, gently, carefully, as if the delicate figure in his arms were a fragile porcelain doll in a display window. His arm rested on her back, his warm palm touching her smooth, fair skin, and his heart suddenly trembled.
Her back was very cold. Mo Yanzhou’s palm began to gently rub her back, generating warmth through friction to help her feel warmer.
Bai Yunxia felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
Mo Yanzhou’s right hand still rested on the desk, but his left hand wandered over her back. With the air conditioning so cold, she had thought Mo Yanzhou would be cold too, but his palm was so warm, growing hotter and hotter. Wherever his hand touched her back felt as if it were about to melt, scalding with heat.
She hadn’t gotten to taste her hubby’s lips yet, but his embrace was so warm, so comfortable~
Her body grew even more pliant, her stomach occasionally letting out gurgling sounds. Bai Yunxia buried her face in his chest, too embarrassed to look up, her breaths filled with Mo Yanzhou’s clean, crisp scent.
Why isn’t the takeout here yet!
This young lady’s stomach is starving to death.
┭┮﹏┭┮
Another half hour passed, and a knock came from the study.
“My takeout!”
Bai Yunxia immediately jumped out of Mo Yanzhou’s embrace, but her fair wrist was caught.
She turned back in confusion.
Yu Chao’s voice came from outside, “Sir, your takeout has arrived.”
She hadn’t been wrong.
It was indeed her takeout.
Why wouldn’t Mo Yanzhou let her get it?
Since he’d already ordered it, surely he wouldn’t stop her from eating.
“Sit down.”
Dressed like this, she’d better stay put obediently.
Bai Yunxia was pulled by Mo Yanzhou to sit in his chair. He went to the study door to get the takeout, opening it only a crack.
Yu Chao could easily guess this was for the madam—Mo Yanzhou never ate such spicy food.
The master and madam really had a good relationship.
As far as he knew, aside from coffee, no food was allowed in the master’s study. Even Mo Du wasn’t permitted to eat in there.
The madam had become an exception.
This was a welcome development, things were moving in a positive direction.
Turning around, Mo Yanzhou saw Bai Yunxia looking at him with eager, starving eyes.
No—she was looking at the food in his hands.
Mo Yanzhou placed the food on the black coffee table in the study. “Come eat.”
Bai Yunxia obediently went over and eagerly opened the containers: her spicy dry pot, numbing mouth-watering chicken, and sour spicy lotus root cubes.
Ah~
The aroma was intoxicating. Bai Yunxia’s stomach growled even more enthusiastically.
She had also ordered a matcha white chocolate milk brew—matcha was her favorite flavor.
She inserted the straw and took a satisfying big sip.
Mo Yanzhou returned to his desk. His study, usually pristine and dry with constant air humidity year-round, now had Bai Yunxia eating and drinking inside—and strongly flavored food at that.
With an extra person eating in the study, Mo Yanzhou stared coldly at his computer screen but didn’t absorb the report displayed.
Bai Yunxia ate with panting breaths, getting spicy-mouthed and quickly drinking some water.
“Mmm, so refreshing~”
“So spicy, so satisfying.”
This was exactly the feeling she loved.
While happily peeling shrimp, Bai Yunxia accidentally met Mo Yanzhou’s gaze. “Husband, want to try some?”
“No need.”
Mo Yanzhou refused coldly.
Bai Yunxia walked over holding a peeled shrimp. Leaning down, the bow at the back of her neck brushed against his shoulder, as if teasing him.
Her red lips parted slightly. “This shrimp isn’t spicy—it’s the chicken that’s spicy.”
As if bewitched, Mo Yanzhou opened his mouth. His lips accidentally touched her finger through the transparent disposable glove.
The moment the shrimp entered his mouth, he felt the spiciness.
That little liar, Bai Yunxia!
Mo Yanzhou forced himself to chew a few times before quickly swallowing. Unbeknownst to him, his face had turned red from the spice. Calmly, he took a sip of coffee from the cup on his desk.
Seeing this, Bai Yunxia lowered her head apologetically. “Sorry, I didn’t think it was spicy. Since you don’t eat spicy food, it might feel extremely hot to you.”
She recalled those jokes online where netizens said one drop of chili oil could spice up an entire river and overwhelm a whole province.
“It’s fine.”
Mo Yanzhou had learned his lesson—he wouldn’t eat her food again.
“Your red face is so cute.” Bai Yunxia couldn’t resist poking Mo Yanzhou’s cheek.
She poked and ran away immediately.
Mo Yanzhou’s lips quirked slightly. Bai Yunxia actually used “cute” to describe him.
She was the cute one.
With red-tipped ears, Mo Yanzhou glanced sideways at her. She looked so small and thin, yet her appetite seemed quite good.
Much better than him.
He had no particular desire for food—as long as it was nutritious, filled his stomach, prevented hunger, and maintained nutritional balance, that was enough.
Bai Yunxia finished eating, but there was still a lot of food left from what she had ordered.
She always overestimated her appetite.
It was a habit.
She leaned lazily against the black sofa, sipping milk tea.
Her stomach was full, but she could still drink—after all, girls have two stomachs.
“Do you have to work every night?”
Bai Yunxia felt he was truly exhausted and hardworking—no wonder not just anyone could become the richest person.
