Chapter 54: Chapter 51 I Want I Want I WantChu Mengyao snuggled in Ye Fan’s embrace, her expression sweet as she gradually stopped crying.

    Ye Fan held the beauty, his gaze gentle and his heart filled with happiness.

    "Grumble, grumble!" Chu Mengyao’s stomach growled. She was hungry. Since Ye Fan left, she hadn’t eaten a bite of food or drunk a sip of water. Even with Chu Biyao and the other two girls accompanying her, her heart was too heavy to have an appetite. Now that the storm had passed, the feeling of hunger overwhelmed her, and her appetite surged.

    "I’ll make something delicious for you," Ye Fan softly said.

    He had guessed that Chu Mengyao’s refusal to eat or drink was related to him, which only made him feel more guilty. He silently vowed that such a thing must never happen again.

    Chu Mengyao reluctantly let go of Ye Fan, who then headed into the kitchen.

    Chu Mengyao began to fix her appearance. She doesn’t usually wear makeup, but after crying so much, she looked like a little panda, and her hair was a bit messy. She didn’t want to look disheveled in front of Ye Fan forever. Her face turned red with shyness. Even with the greatest courage now, she didn’t dare to pounce on Ye Fan again. She liked Ye Fan, that’s true. It was her secret. She had never been in love, nor did she know how to be. Although her heart and Ye Fan’s were close, their relationship still appeared as ’boyfriend and girlfriend’.

    A woman dresses up for her beloved, and that was Chu Mengyao’s mindset now.

    Soon, Ye Fan cooked some noodles, adding eggs and vegetables, simple yet flavorful. Chu Mengyao ate with satisfaction.

    Ye Fan stared blankly at Chu Mengyao, feeling a serene peace in his heart, and was filled with joy watching her every move.

    "Don’t look at me like that; it makes me embarrassed." Chu Mengyao had returned to her usual CEO demeanor, with an expression of coolness that naturally carried a hint of aloofness, yet her gaze towards Ye Fan was full of warmth.

    She had grown accustomed to acting this way, and even if she wanted to appear a bit more gentle, she didn’t know how to.

    Ye Fan didn’t mind Chu Mengyao’s attitude at all. Their hearts were connected, so their outer attitude didn’t matter.

    "Okay," Ye Fan obediently agreed, daring not to stare at Chu Mengyao anymore, and turned his face away. Sёar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "You just listen when I’m joking, eh? Wooden head," Chu Mengyao grumbled secretly, chomping on her noodles vigorously as if she were angrily biting Ye Fan instead. But the moment she noticed Ye Fan sneaking a peek at her, her heart leaped with joy, and she ate even more zestfully.

    What Chu Mengyao didn’t know was that Ye Fan was watching her stealthily because he noticed something unusual about her eating.

    "I want more." After downing the last drop of soup, Chu Mengyao eagerly requested.

    "Alright, I’ll cook another bowl," Ye Fan hurried back into the kitchen. Cooking noodles didn’t take much time and it was already early morning. Seeing how Chu Mengyao had suffered so much since he left, he wanted her to rest sooner. Since she was hungry, she naturally had to eat before sleeping. Otherwise, how could she sleep at all?

    Soon, after the second bowl of noodles settled, Chu Mengyao was still not satisfied and said, "I want more."

    "Eat a bit less, won’t you? Eating too much isn’t good," Ye Fan reminded.

    "Are you refusing to make it for me? Then I’ll do it myself." Chu Mengyao pouted, unhappy.

    "I’ll do it. I’ll make as much as you want to eat." Ye Fan surrendered immediately. What else could he do but satisfy Chu Mengyao’s request? Whatever she needed, he would provide.

    "That’s more like it." Chu Mengyao thought triumphantly, looking toward the kitchen with delight.

    Actually, after finishing the first bowl of noodles, she was no longer hungry. Eating too much at this hour indeed wasn’t good, but she relished the feeling of being cared for by Ye Fan and wanted to keep eating.

    "I still want to eat." After the third bowl was down, Chu Mengyao gazed hopefully at Ye Fan.

    "Alright, I’ll make more." Ye Fan didn’t want to see Chu Mengyao with an empty stomach. Seeing her hopeful eyes, how could he refuse? His heart filled with self-reproach, blaming himself persistently. If he hadn’t rashly left the villa, Chu Mengyao wouldn’t have been sad and wouldn’t have been this hungry.

    "I want, I want... Want what? No more eating; you’ll turn into a little piglet." Chu Biyao appeared, wearing slippers, gave her sister a sharp look, then gazed at Ye Fan full of blame, saying loudly, "Cook, cook, all you know is to cook. Can’t you see that my sister’s stomach is already quite round? She just wants to look at you a few more times and enjoy being cared for by you. If you don’t understand this simple truth, I can’t help but despise you."

    "What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Mengyao felt embarrassed as her sister exposed her true feelings.

    "You’re just pretending to be indifferent. Don’t you know who I am? I’m your sister; how could you hide such a small thought from me? This man isn’t leaving. Are you worried he’s going to disappear suddenly? You’ll have plenty of chances to see him in the future. Calling ’I want’ now and then, in the middle of the night, makes people who don’t understand the situation think something inappropriate is happening." Chu Biyao winked and teased, making Chu Mengyao bury her head in her chest.

    Chu Mengyao secretly blamed her sister for laying things bare, feeling extremely shy. Yet, deep in her heart, waves of unusual joy spread.

    Ye Fan understood then. Only now did he realize Chu Mengyao’s feelings. While embarrassed, guilt overwhelmed him.

    If not for Chu Biyao’s timely revelation, he would still be in the dark, thinking Chu Mengyao was simply hungry.

    "Stunned, baffled, aren’t you? Be careful not to accidentally overfeed my dear sister. I only have one sister, and should anything happen to her, you can’t afford to compensate." Chu Biyao looked at Ye Fan with interest. Seeing Ye Fan’s clueless face and his na?ve demeanor, her curiosity piqued. Such a man seemed too dense, or rather, in a positive light, too innocent. How he could have grown so much without understanding this?

    However, Chu Biyao also felt that this was just right. Such a man perfectly suited her sister.

    "Um, Biyao, I’ll be more careful in the future. It’s all my fault," Ye Fan admitted his mistake with a wry face.

    He felt blessed by Chu Mengyao’s affection, and he etched Chu Biyao’s warning into his mind.

    "Biyao? You dare call me Biyao, is Biyao a name for you to use?" Chu Biyao chided loudly, then with a mischievous glance, she said earnestly, "Listen well, from now on, call me sister-in-law, understand?"

    "Feeling itchy, are you? Watch how I deal with you." Chu Mengyao, highly embarrassed, moved her hand directly to pinch her sister’s thigh.

    Chu Biyao’s unrestrained audacity made it impossible for Chu Mengyao to just sit still.

    "You can’t catch me, you can’t catch me." Chu Biyao stuck out her tongue and bounced away.

    Chu Mengyao felt too shy to linger in front of Ye Fan any longer and could only leave with a pounding heart to chase after her sister.

    "Sister-in-law?" The words resonated loudly in Ye Fan’s mind.
