Chapter 90: Are You Worried That I’m Stealing It?

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

Yu Gangan’s uncle watched on quietly. Then, with a smile, he said to Yu Gangan, “Don’t be upset, Gangan. Your cousin’s always been like that. She has no filter and always speaks like that. She means no harm.”

He then yelled at his daughter, “Look at yourself. All you do is talk stupidly.”

“Dad,” He Wanxin cried unhappily.

Yu Gangan’s uncle glared at He Wanxin with a serious warning.

In the end, all He Wanxin could do was hold back her anger and turn away after glaring at Yu Gangan briefly.

The old uncle then looked at Yu Gangan and smiled, “Your cousin’s words may not sound good, but she’s simply concerned about you. I’m sure Zhihan is only temporarily jobless. A man should have his own career to be able to care for you and his family. I’m certain that Zhihan is a responsible man. You, on the other hand, Gangan, I must tell you that a married woman should have a child and take care of her family. Work is not the main priority. Your husband and child should be.”

At this time, Yu Gangan’s auntie joined in, “Exactly, as a woman, why are you running a clinic and seeing patients? Once a woman gets married, her family should come first. Otherwise, you will easily get a divorce.”

Yu Gangan did not say a word as she listened to the couple take turns talking.

Finally, her uncle decided to stop lecturing her and said as he waved his hand, “Let’s stop talking and eat some food. I’ve ordered all your favorite seafood today...”

Yu Gangan slightly smiled, but she wasn’t genuinely happy, “Uncle, I’ve only been out of the hospital for a month. I can’t have seafood.”

Her uncle paused and slapped himself on the head, “Look at me, how could I forget that? Call the waiter over and order something else.”

He then spun the Lazy Susan and stopped the bird’s nest in front of Yu Gangan, “You can eat this; it’s suitable for you. Come, have some bird’s nest as an appetizer.”

Yu Gangan did not move.

The dishes on the table were way too expensive. There was no way she was paying for it!

So, she wasn’t moving her chopsticks and giving her uncle a chance to trick her.

But, Fang Zhihan suddenly grabbed her bowl and started filling it with the bird’s nest.

Yu Gangan’s eyes opened wide.

Fang Zhihan was usually smart and sly like a demon when he was up against her. Why didn’t he understand her uncle’s scheme?

After Fang Zhihan filled her bowl, he proceeded to fill his own bowl. Seeing this, Yu Gangan stretched out her hand and stopped him. In a quiet voice, she said, “Don’t eat it.”

“Huh?”

Fang Zhihan looked at her with confusion.

Yu Gangan hinted at him with her eyes, gesturing for him to remain still. But, Fang Zhihan didn’t seem to understand her hint as he brushed her hand away and continued to scoop the bird’s nest.

Under these circumstances, Yu Gangan couldn’t openly explain what was going on to Fang Zhihan. So, she forced a smile even though she wasn’t smiling on the inside and said between gritted teeth, “Look at you. You’re so big and strong, you don’t need any bird’s nest. Bird’s nest might turn your muscles into fat.”

Fang Zhihan looked at Yu Gangan and his lips curved upwards.

“Are you worried that I’m stealing it from you?” he asked as he handed his bowl to her as well. “This bowl is for you too.”

As he pulled back his hands, he gently pinched Yu Gangan on the cheek.

The pinch was gentle and soft; completely filled with adoration.

Yu Gangan was stunned speechless.

How was she afraid of him stealing her food? What kind of loving act was he playing?

She was simply afraid of paying the bill...
