If she really indulges him like this, it will become increasingly unruly and demanding in the future!

"What? Are you actually refusing me now?" He was momentarily stunned, not expecting this little woman to dare refuse him, so decisively!

Xia Qingqian pushed him away, his hand gripped her shoulder, carrying the scent of medicated oil that filled the air.

"I really don’t need it! Can you show some restraint?" She yelled at him, her eyes tinged with a hint of anger.

Of course, he didn’t miss the sparkle in her eyes, and his heart felt blocked. The way she looked at him made him extremely uncomfortable, even a bit hurt! This little girl actually knows how to rebel against him.

"Alright." He released her with a sullen face, got up from the bed, grabbed a towel, and went into the bathroom.

Xia Qingqian was tossed onto the bed, feeling a bit sore from the fall. She sat up, got off the bed, and put on her clothes. She glanced at the bathroom door and sighed lightly before heading downstairs to make breakfast for him.

She busied herself in the kitchen for a while, and Beitang Yao also came downstairs, drawn by the aroma wafting from the kitchen, his stomach rumbling enthusiastically.

He seemed to have forgotten the earlier unpleasantness, casually sat at the dining table, watching her come out of the kitchen with a half-smile.

The normally cool him surprisingly showed his white teeth, his mischievous aura casting a shadow over Xia Qingqian. Her grip on the plate tightened, and her smile was somewhat stiff.

Feeling a bit guilty, she glanced at Beitang Yao and softly said, "Breakfast is ready. If you need anything else, I’ll make it for you."

He took the spoon and tasted the breakfast she personally made, enjoying flavors he liked, with a faint glow on his brow.

"You should sit down and eat together." He smiled lightly at her, but his expression was indifferent.

Xia Qingqian momentarily spaced out, then composed herself and said earnestly, "I don’t have the habit of eating breakfast." Besides, she only made enough for one person.

She felt somewhat uncomfortable inside. His way of doing things really lacked explanation or context.

Hearing her slightly somber tone, his heart sank a bit. He looked up and gently asked, "Are you very bothered by what happened earlier?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Xia Qingqian managed a smile, lightly shook her head, and said, "Do I even have the right to care?"

"Sit down, follow my words, and have breakfast." He stood up, pressed her shoulder, and placed her onto the chair, went straight to the kitchen to get a bowl, and personally scooped a bowl of thick porridge for her.

Xia Qingqian couldn’t match Beitang Yao’s aura; with just a few words, she was thoroughly compromised! She grumbled internally, wondering how many women’s hearts such a man could capture? Regardless of how much he hurt someone, as long as he showed that rare smile and said a few sweet words, everything seemed to vanish!

She pursed her lips, gave him a faint glance, and quietly started eating breakfast.

"At noon, someone will take you to Monica’s store. After everything’s finished, head straight to the scene." He said lowly while cutting ham.

Xia Qingqian’s hand paused, she slowly raised her eyes, looked at Beitang Yao in a daze, and softly took a deep breath, "Yao, why don’t you choose someone else? I really can’t handle this job!"
