Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Deceiving for Eating, Drinking, and Physiological Needs (1)_1

Han Jingnian watched Xia Wan’an in silence for a while. Seeing that she remained quiet, he took the initiative to speak, "Get in the car."

Was he implying that they were heading home together? Xia Wan’an was puzzled for a second, then responded with an "Oh" and walked towards the car.

Han Jingnian opened the door to the driver’s side, just about to get in, when he recalled how Zhijin had opened the door for her. He paused.

He glanced at Xia Wan’an who had already reached the front of the car, then suddenly told her to "Wait." Amid her bewildered gaze, he walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for her.

Xia Wan’an gave Han Jingnian a baffled look before getting in the car.

Just as Han Jingnian was about to close the door, he noticed the seatbelt. After hesitating for a moment, he leaned in, his slender fingertips reaching in to fasten her seatbelt for her.

Xia Wan’an was totally taken aback. It wasn’t until the car had left the underground parking lot that she noticed the seatbelt across her chest. Turning to look at Han Jingnian beside her, her heart felt as if it had been stirred with violent intensity, leaving her emotions in disarray.

What had gotten into him? He was being unexpectedly... attentive? Both opening the car door and fastening the seatbelt...

In her daze, the car arrived at the underground parking lot of their building.

On the elevator ride up, Xia Wan’an stole several glances at the man beside her through the reflective surface. His expression was calm and indifferent, no different from usual.

The elevator quickly reached the 27th floor, and Xia Wan’an, unable to discern Han Jingnian’s thoughts, gave up on her speculations. After opening the door and changing her shoes, she prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

Just as she was about to enter her bedroom, Han Jingnian, who was behind her, suddenly spoke up, "I’ll wash the dishes."

Huh?

Xia Wan’an quickly turned around to look at Han Jingnian.

Han Jingnian met her eyes and waited for a while. Seeing that she seemed not to understand what he meant, he spoke again, "Aren’t we having dinner?"

Uh?

At his words, Xia Wan’an finally understood what he meant by "I’ll wash the dishes."

So, he was expecting her to make dinner... But she and Zhijin had already eaten out!

Xia Wan’an subconsciously wanted to tell Han Jingnian that she had already eaten. But as she lifted her eyes to his face, her words caught in her throat.

Under the brightly shining chandelier, his features were as delicate and unreal as a painted portrait. His deep, dark eyes were slightly luminous, radiating a captivating charm.

Xia Wan’an was momentarily stunned, then she nodded dumbly, "Oh, right, dinner. I’ll cook now."

Throughout the cooking process, Xia Wan’an was constantly sighing. Where was her backbone? Why was she swayed by his good looks?

It had to be said, Han Jingnian certainly had a knack for taking advantage of others... Ah, the world was indeed unfair. Some people could get by, mooching off others for food, drink, and other necessities, just with their good looks...

Xia Wan’an made tomato and egg soup, stir-fried pork belly and bok choy, and fried two scallion pancakes.

Having already eaten dinner, she could only take a few bites. She thought she had made too much and there would be leftovers, but to her surprise, Han Jingnian ate everything—even her bottle of yogurt drink.

This meal entirely depleted the groceries she had stocked up.

Seeing that it was still early, she decided to make a trip to the supermarket.
