Helian Zhen was stunned. “What? I haven’t had breakfast!”

Gu Tingyuan said, “I don’t have food at home!”

Helian Zhen looked at the table full of food. “Isn’t there food here?”

“The maids didn’t cook your share!”

“I can eat some side dishes too.”

“There aren’t any!”

“..” This— this— this was obviously bullying him. There was such a big table of dishes!

“Gu Tingyuan, you’re too much!”

Gu Tingyuan’s face darkened. “No means no.”

Just then, Mu Wan walked over.

Helian Zhen immediately looked as if he had seen his savior. “Mu Wan, look at him! He’s not giving me anything to eat! I haven’t had breakfast yet and I’m starving!”

Mu Wan looked at Helian Zhen, then at the expressionless Gu Tingyuan. She could not understand what was wrong with Gu Tingyuan.

Previously, when Gu Tingyuan asked the maids to prepare the food, Helian Zhen was asked to stay too. Why did Gu Tingyuan suddenly not give him any food?

Although Mu Wan also wanted to help Helian Zhen, in this house and in front of Gu Tingyuan, her status was not even comparable to Helian Zhen’s. How could she say anything?

Staring at the expressionless Gu Tingyuan, Helian Zhen’s face was filled with resentment!

He simply ignored it and sat down beside Mu Wan. “I don’t care. I want to eat anyway!”

Gu Tingyuan glanced at him coldly, but did not insist on picking him up from the chair. Instead, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

However, his expression.. It was as if Helian Zhen owed him a few hundred million dollars and hadn’t paid him back. It was dark and cold!

“Mu Wan, come, take a seat too!” Helian Zhen turned to look at Mu Wan. He was very friendly and reached out to pat the chair beside him.

Gu Tingyuan was about to eat, but when he saw Helian Zhen’s intimate actions, the gloominess on his face became even more severe.

As if she felt a gaze directed at her, Mu Wan, who had just sat down, stiffened. She looked up and saw Gu Tingyuan’s gloomy face.

He was clearly fine just now. What happened all of a sudden?

Although he usually had a cold expression and did not exude any warmth, he would never pull a long face like this.

As if he did not see Gu Tingyuan at all, Helian Zhen picked up his chopsticks and started to savor every dish on the table with relish.

“Hmm.. this Dongpo pork is not bad. It’s fresh, juicy, and fat but not greasy. Mu Wan, try it!”

As he spoke, he could not wait to put a piece into Mu Wan’s bowl.

Ever since her father passed away, no one had served her food for three years. This action reminded Mu Wan of her father’s tragic death.

Coincidentally, the last time her father picked up food for her, he also gave her a piece of Dongpo pork.

Her mother passed away shortly after she and her brother were born. In order to give them a better life, her father did not remarry for the past 22 years. Although he was busy with business every day, his father would

find time to accompany them every weekend.

She had never experienced any motherly love, but the fatherly love she received was never less than others. She had never felt any regrets in her childhood. The only regret she had was that she could not remember

her mother’s face.

She thought that this happiness would continue, but it ended in the heavy snow three years ago when she heard the grievous news of her father’s death.

Helian Zhen was still waiting for her to taste that piece of Dongpo pork, but she was staring at the meat in the bowl without moving.

Thus, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Tingyuan also noticed the change in her expression and stopped eating..
