The two of them instinctively looked over at her.

Yao Xinrui's mouth twitched, feeling quite awkward.

Because of a phone call from Xu Hao at noon, she had been feeling terrible all day and had no appetite to eat at all.

Now, smelling the rich aroma of the food, she was indeed a bit hungry.

She couldn't help but inwardly curse her stomach for not cooperating.

This time, she had made a complete fool of herself.

"Sister-in-law, lying is not good. Be a good girl and eat a little. After all, you'll need to expend some physical energy later…"

Xu Hao patted her shoulder unceremoniously.

Yao Xinrui's body stiffened.

Feeling Xu Hao's hand land on her body, her misandry flared up, and she felt a deep sense of disgust in her heart.

Thinking about what Xu Hao had said.

What did expending physical energy mean? It went without saying.

Yao Xinrui could not refuse.

She worried that if she didn't listen to Xu Hao, it wouldn't just be a pat on the shoulder, but something even more out of line.

Yao Xinrui had no choice but to helplessly pick up her chopsticks.

"That's right. Sister-in-law, don't stand on ceremony with me…"

Xu Hao smiled playfully.

Watching the female lead not daring to resist and having to do as he wished, playing with her in the palm of his hand.

It gave him the feeling of forcing a good woman into prostitution.

He was truly going further and further down the path of a major villain.

[Ding… Yao Xinrui is terrified in her heart, Emotion Points +753…]

[Ding… Li Xiao's mentality collapsed, Emotion Points +999…]

Xu Hao was slightly surprised.

He cast a subtle glance at Li Xiao.

His mentality collapsed just like that?

Little bro, your ability to handle things is too weak.

This is only just the beginning.

You must hold on; don't drop the ball on me.

How many Emotion Points I can reap today depends entirely on you.

Nearby——

Taking in Xu Hao's actions and expressions, Li Xiao clenched his fists tightly.

How could he possibly not know what Xu Hao's words meant?

He was planning to completely devour the sister-in-law tonight…

Although he had mentally prepared himself the moment he agreed to Xu Hao's conditions.

But with this day arriving so quickly, he still couldn't accept it.

The sister-in-law was the first peerless beauty he saw after his Transmigration, and he had vowed to win her over.

But now…

Watching the sister-in-law being taken advantage of and knowing that she would be rolling in the sheets with Xu Hao later.

Li Xiao was consumed by grief.

His heart twitched with a sour and painful ache.

Li Xiao's mental breakdown did not affect Xu Hao at all, who continued to eat his meal leisurely.

He was already very strong, but he still needed to replenish his physical energy to give the sister-in-law an unforgettable night.

Xu Hao ate with relish. Seeing this, Yao Xinrui's inner glutton was hooked.

Coupled with the fact that she was indeed hungry, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

At first, she maintained her restraint.

But these private-kitchen dishes were simply too delicious; once she started eating, she couldn't stop.

The protagonist nearby was drooling with envy…

Yao Xinrui was better off than him; she didn't eat at noon, but at least she ate in the morning.

In the morning, after sending off his elder sister Li Yunshu and reaching an agreement with Xu Hao, he felt so miserable that he didn't take a single bite.

Now his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

He had originally planned to eat to his heart's content tonight since Xu Hao was paying the bill, but Xu Hao had actually made him stand aside and just watch.

Was this something a human being could possibly do?

The Emotion Points kept soaring rapidly.

After finishing her meal, Yao Xinrui still felt a bit unsatisfied.

At this moment, Xu Hao suddenly stretched out a hand holding a tissue…

Slowly reaching toward her lips.

Clearly intending to wipe her lips for her.

Following the arm upwards, she saw Xu Hao smiling directly at her.

"Eat slower, Sister-in-law. No one is competing with you. You've turned into a little kitten with a dirty face."

Xu Hao smiled as he gently wiped it away.

Yao Xinrui was stunned.

Xu Hao's image in her heart had always been that of a great demon; suddenly becoming so gentle made her very unaccustomed to it.

Wait, why would Xu Hao be so kind?

Yao Xinrui instantly became vigilant.

Sure enough, the thing she worried about happened.

After finishing wiping the corner of her mouth, Xu Hao said to her playfully.

"Sister-in-law, I helped you. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Yao Xinrui felt completely uncomfortable all over.

If she remembered correctly, Xu Hao was even older than her, and constantly calling her sister-in-law felt very awkward.

But she didn't dare to throw a fit and could only let Xu Hao have his way.

Show appreciation? Show what?

Yao Xinrui was baffled.

Raising her head in puzzlement, she noticed a trace of grease at the corner of Xu Hao's mouth.

A flash of insight struck her.

Was Xu Hao asking her to help wipe his mouth as well?

Struggling for a moment, she gritted her teeth. Wiping the corner of a mouth was no big deal.

It was still better than him taking her to a hotel room.

Since she couldn't avoid the five-day appointment, what Yao Xinrui was thinking now was to drag it out as long as possible.

She took out a tissue.

The distance was a bit far, and she couldn't reach.

So she stood up and moved closer.

Just as she approached Xu Hao, her foot somehow tripped, and she fell forward uncontrollably…

Yao Xinrui let out an exclamation of "Ah!", her face draining of color as she thought she was going to crash onto the ground.

But she didn't.

It was Xu Hao who saved her.

He reached out to wrap his arm around her waist and gave a gentle pull, causing Yao Xinrui to involuntarily fall into his arms.

Coincidentally, she landed right on his lap.

Yao Xinrui's face turned pale with fright, and as if grabbing a life-saving straw, she wrapped her arms around Xu Hao's neck.

Once she calmed down, she realized her current predicament.

Sitting on Xu Hao's lap, with her arms around his neck.
