The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1473 His Throat Constricted

When Ye Youyou saw his fathomless gaze, her face reddened. She placed the bread back on the plate and said, “You…”

Unperturbed, Li Jinnan reached over to take the bread. “Thank you.”

Just as he said his thanks and his hand touched the bread, Ye Youyou stopped him with her hand. She was visibly annoyed as she protested, “What are you doing?”

“Are you giving your bread to me?” he asked. “It’ll be a waste if I don’t take it.”

“Not at all! Put it down!” If she allowed Li Jinnan to have the slice, would he end up eating the part that her lips had touched?

That would be disgusting! No way!

When Li Jinnan heard that, he looked toward her hand on his and said, “You’re the one who’s taking advantage of me.”

Ye Youyou immediately snatched her hand back. Li Jinnan happily picked up the piece of toast and ate it in contentment.

“You…” Ye Youyou’s face heated up even more. Li Jinnan looked like such a decent man. She had never expected him to behave like such a thug.

He is even fighting with me for food. This fellow is despicable!

Li Jinnan pretended like he hadn’t noticed anything and pushed the sandwich over. He said, “I don’t like to eat sandwiches.”

Ye Youyou had already eaten half the toast, so her stomach was half full. Just by looking at the whole sandwich, she knew there was no way she’d be able to finish it. Considering that Li Jinnan had wolfed the remaining half of the toast down, she had nothing but sausages and biscuits left.

Annoyed, she picked the sandwich up. It didn’t take more than two mouthfuls for Ye Youyou to lose her appetite. The sandwich was unpalatable. It was no wonder that Li Jinnan refused to eat it.

Hmph! How scheming is this guy?

Ye Youyou placed the sandwich down and ate the sausage instead. She picked up her fork and knife. Picturing the sausage as Li Jinnan, she cut it up into eight smaller pieces. She felt a lot better after that.

After a few mouthfuls, she suddenly realized that the sandwich in front of her was gone.

She looked up and saw that Li Jinnan was eating the sandwich that she had abandoned.

“Didn’t you say that you didn’t like it?” Ye Youyou cried out between clenched teeth.

Li Jinnan didn’t bother looking up as he replied, “You’re so wasteful. It’s just too bad that I’m here with you and will have to finish up your leftovers.”

Ye Youyou grew angrier and protested, “You’re the one who stole my toast! Obviously I wouldn’t be able to finish such a huge sandwich!”

“But, you had enough appetite for the sausage,” Li Jinnan rebutted her calmly. He looked at her matter-of-factly. “Hmph, it’s so obvious that you just didn’t want to eat it.”

“You didn’t want to eat it either!” she exclaimed

“That’s why I gave it to you,” he said.

“You didn’t want it and gave it to me instead?” Ye Youyou asked. “Am I a rubbish bin?”

“No. I was just modestly declining it,” Li Jinnan said.

“Bull! You clearly didn’t want to eat it,” she said.

“Am I not eating it now?” Li Jinnan looked at her solemnly and asked, “How can you twist the facts like that?”

Ye Youyou was speechless. She had finally experienced it. Such shameless people existed in this world.

There was no way she could out-talk this fellow. And she was being accused by the perpetrator himself.

Ye Youyou laughed in exasperation and said, “I never knew you were such a good talker.”

“I’m just average.” Li Jinnan was being modest. “Just a little better than you.”

Ye Youyou forcefully pierced her fork into a sausage and took an angry bite out at it. She deliberately didn’t bite it off cleanly. Instead, she violently tore it off.

Li Jinnan’s throat constricted. He felt his mouth and tongue go dry.

This is madness!
