188: I don't want to eat, I want to eat you

“Could it be that shopping is tiring because I’m not wearing stockings?”

Tang Xinyao mumbled, “I’ll try it next time.”

Xu Zimo couldn’t imagine how captivating the young girl would be in Balenciaga.

“Ahem, just wear them at home.”

“Why?”

Tang Xinyao quickly understood.

Hmph.

That perverted brother-in-law, he said he didn’t want to see!

Although she was a little shy, she felt delighted inside.

She even fantasized about what kind of gaze Xu Zimo would give her after she put them on.

(*^__^*) Hehe... She happily skipped over this little interlude, but her stomach began to protest.

She was hungry.

“Brother-in-law, Mama, Papa, and my sister aren’t home. What should we eat tonight?”

Xu Zimo raised an eyebrow.

If they didn’t cook, then they could only order takeout.

“I’m driving right now. I’ll order takeout for you when we get home.”

“No!”

Tang Xinyao pouted her lips, a little willful, “I want to eat something right now.”

Xu Zimo glanced at her.

The girl’s lips were like petals, and that slightly pouting curve made one want to take a bite.

Gulp!

Xu Zimo felt... he was hungry too.

Especially wanting to feed her something.

He couldn’t let his Younger Sister-in-law go hungry, could he?!

That wouldn’t be good.

Tang Xinyao was already a bit thin; if she went hungry again, she might lose all her little bit of flesh.

Girls, after all.

Should still have a little flesh on them.

He said, “What do you want to eat? I’ll go with whatever you like.”

“Really?”

Tang Xinyao’s eyes sparkled as she said, “Brother-in-law, the snack street is just ahead. There’s a crab wonton place that’s really good. I’ll treat you.”

Xu Zimo was startled for a moment, then looked at her with a questioning gaze, “Don’t you like... seafood?”

Like geoduck and such.

He still remembered the little glutton she was the first time she ate seafood.

Tang Xinyao also clearly felt a bit embarrassed, her pretty face flushing, “I’m used to eating seafood, so I need to change my taste!”

Alright!

Xu Zimo smiled and granted her wish.

As soon as he parked the car, his phone screen lit up.

He saw Jiang Yuwei’s name and said calmly, “Xinyao, you go in and order first. I’ll buy two drinks.”

This excuse was simply too clumsy.

What kind of restaurant wouldn’t sell drinks?

But in his Younger Sister-in-law’s mind, his image was incomparably grand.

So much so that she didn’t even notice this flaw.

Seeing Tang Xinyao obediently enter the shop, he then answered the call.

“Brother, Qiqi has made dinner. Are you coming back to eat?”

Xu Zimo smiled and said, “Brother doesn’t want to eat dinner; he wants to eat you all.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a somewhat shy voice came through, “Okay, okay.”

Xu Zimo was a little surprised.

He had spoken too quickly just now and accidentally said “you all.”

He wondered if Jiang Yuwei hadn’t heard clearly.

However, Jiang Yuwei, this pure campus belle, was the first girl he had ever asked out, and she was very obedient, so he still had to consider her feelings a little.

Being open had its advantages.

Just like Guan Yanchu and Gu Xiaoxuan.

And this way of getting along with Jiang Yuwei and the others was also quite good.

It was just that Jiang Youqi had been avoiding him, so there hadn’t been a good opportunity to get close to her.

She clearly cherished her sisterly bond with Jiang Yuwei and the others and had been deliberately avoiding him.

It felt a bit like he didn’t know where to start.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zimo didn’t even buy drinks and walked into the small shop.

Tang Xinyao looked at him in surprise, “Brother-in-law, where are the drinks you bought?”

Xu Zimo shrugged, “I forgot this small shop doesn’t sell Evian, so I just didn’t buy any.”

Evian!

Tang Xinyao shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue. A bottle cost dozens of yuan. Her brother-in-law was truly too extravagant.

As they spoke, the crab wontons arrived.

Xu Zimo took a bite.

It was really good, with real fresh crab meat.

He hadn’t expected such a treasure to be hidden in such an unassuming place.

Seeing him eat happily, Tang Xinyao looked triumphant, “Brother-in-law, I treated you to... wontons, so you can help me move things later, right?”

Looking at her quirky and clever appearance, Xu Zimo smiled softly.

“Okay, I’ll help you.”

The two of them finished their meal happily.

Perhaps it was because she was full, or perhaps she was a little tired from shopping all day.

Tang Xinyao fell into a deep sleep shortly after getting into the car.

When she regained consciousness, a warm breath brushed against her ear.

It was... her brother-in-law?

What was he going to do?

Was he... going to bully her?

Should she resist?

If she didn’t resist, would she be letting her sister down?

Tang Xinyao’s heart suddenly became flustered.

For a moment, she didn’t know what choice to make.

Just then, a hand brushed past her front, and her fingertips seemed to touch the new clothes she had bought today.

It was a tingling sensation.

Immediately after, the warm breath moved from her ear to her face.

Her small hands clenched tightly.

Was it... coming?

Her chest rose and fell a little violently, and for a moment she couldn’t tell if it was anticipation, or something else.

Ultimately, she didn’t react at all.

However, what she had expected to happen did not, and instead, she heard Xu Zimo getting out of the car, followed by the sound of the trunk opening.

Tang Xinyao quietly opened her eyes and saw Xu Zimo carrying things inside.

The little girl was suddenly bewildered.

Could it be that everything just now was her imagination?

Or perhaps.

Her brother-in-law didn’t have that kind of... feeling for her.

Was he treating her like a sister?

In this situation, with no one else at home, if he wanted to do something, she definitely wouldn’t be able to stop him.

Tang Xinyao felt a little wronged in her heart. When Xu Zimo came back to the garage, she pretended to have just woken up and stretched.

Her graceful figure made even Xu Zimo, who had seen countless beauties, linger for a moment.

Tang Xinyao pretended as if nothing had happened: “Brother-in-law, we’re home. Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn’t have the heart to wake you.”

“Also, if you’re really tired in the future, go to the back seat to sleep. With the seatbelt on in the front, you were breathing heavily while you slept.”

Ah?

Tang Xinyao was a little dumbfounded.

Her embarrassment had all been seen by her brother-in-law?!

She was a little unsure.

She looked at Xu Zimo again, only to see him carrying several more bags inside.

At the door, he urged, “There are only a few small things left. You can’t make me run another trip, can you?”

Tang Xinyao was truly confused. At the same time, the faint sense of grievance in her heart turned into deep disappointment.

Yet, she didn’t know where this disappointment came from.

She seemed to be expecting something.

This caused her to be a bit distracted and dazed. While carrying things, she slipped on the stairs just as she was about to reach her room.

With a cry of “ouch,” she fell down the stairs...

Her delicate body rolled down the stairs, and the things she was carrying scattered everywhere.
