Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 1119 Heather of the Other Shore Flower Sea (143)
"It’s not sudden," Nian Shen replied. "I talked to her about it a long time ago, but she just didn’t agree."
Qu Leqi: "..."
She glanced at Heather, thinking to herself, could it be that Heather was trying to use this situation to tell her that she could come and go from his side as she pleased?
Just thinking about her smug attitude made her so angry her entire body hurt!
Not long after, someone rang the doorbell, and Heather instinctively went to open the door.
The way she busied herself gave Qu Leqi some comfort.
Looking at it this way, what kind of bodyguard is she? Isn’t she just like a servant you can order around?
The hotel staff delivered breakfast to them. As Qu Leqi watched the meals being carefully laid out on the trolley, her mood plummeted again, like riding a roller coaster that keeps dropping and climbing.
Why did it have to be three portions??
How could they count Heather’s portion too? And it was the exact same meal as theirs!
Wait a minute...
Hers was even more!
Heather was still standing by the door, waiting for the staff to leave so she could close it, seemingly unaware that anything was amiss.
After the waiter left, she continued standing there without moving.
Nian Shen glanced at her standing there and asked in an uncertain tone, "What are you standing there for? Aren’t you coming over to have breakfast?"
Heather thought, was Nian Shen genuinely clueless or just pretending? Did he not realize that Miss Qu was already very unhappy?
Obviously, she wanted social hierarchy to be clear and didn’t want to sit at the same table to eat with her. So Heather tactfully avoided bothering them.
"I’m not hungry. You guys eat first."
"I leave in five minutes." He glanced at his watch.
"...I’m really not hungry. It’s fine if I don’t eat."
"Come eat. I don’t want to repeat myself a third time." He frowned. "As my bodyguard, you need to fill your stomach, right? If you’re starving, who can you possibly fight off?"
Heather eventually caved in, sitting down under the dangerous glare of Qu Leqi’s eyes, smiling, "Alright, I’ll start eating."
Then she noticed that her meal was actually larger than theirs, and those extra dishes were the ones he used to add for her during her hospital stay, meals meant to aid blood and brain recovery.
Afraid that saying something would make Qu Leqi overthink the matter, Heather decided to eat in silence without saying a single word.
As she ate silently, Nian Shen suddenly lifted his head to address Heather across from him, "I want to emphasize something. From now on, I don’t want situations that require me to repeat myself to happen again. Can you manage that?"
"...I’ll try my best."
If only he stopped asking her to do things that were clearly outside a bodyguard’s responsibilities.
What kind of bodyguard eats at the same table as their employer?
"Mr. Nian, shall I feed you?" Qu Leqi started her antics again, clearly doing it on purpose to make Heather uncomfortable.
Nian Shen glanced at Heather, who had her head down, and opened his mouth obediently.
Qu Leqi was momentarily taken aback.
She had been worried earlier, afraid he wouldn’t give her face in front of Heather. Now she was completely reassured.
Facing the couple showing off their affection across the table, Heather chose to ignore them and sped up her breakfast.
...
Yi Yang was driving, Heather sat in the front passenger seat, while Nian Shen and Qu Leqi sat in the back seat. This kind of setup hadn’t happened before. Though, it seemed like such arrangements would occur more frequently in the future.
Even though there were four people in the car, the silence was suffocating.
Qu Leqi made several attempts to talk to Nian Shen, but he had a document spread across his lap and was completely absorbed in studying it. His serious demeanor made her too intimidated to say even a single word.
