Chapter 431: You Are Usually a Sharp-Witted Girl

Tan Mo used the index finger of her right hand to lift and rest its edges on the machine repeatedly. The manager immediately left, bringing the electronic device with him after she was done.

With that, Tan Mo went to the washroom. After coming out of it, she saw Wei Zhiqian sitting in front of his computer and working.

"You should eat first," Tan Mo said.

Wei Zhiqian removed his gaze from the computer screen and smiled at Tan Mo. "I thought you said you didn't have a proper dinner yet. You should eat first. I'll have what is left."

After contemplating it, Tan Mo took the sushi boxes to Wei Zhiqian's working desk and asked, "Will I interrupt your work if I sit here and eat?"

"No." In fact, that was precisely what Wei Zhiqian wanted. Wasting no time, he got up and moved the office chair on the other side of his desk beside him. "You may take your meal here."

Complying with his instruction, Tan Mo perched herself on the chair.

Upon seeing that, the memory of the first time Tan Mo entered Wei Zhiqian's study room came to his mind. At that time, she was still a young child, so she struggled to climb up the chair. She had a tiny stature, so the chair was too high for her.

Wei Zhiqian let out a laugh as he reminisced the moment.

"What are you laughing at?" That was out of the blue.

"Nothing." A corner of Wei Zhiqian's lips lifted. "I just thought that with you sitting next to me, I can finally work without any distractions."

Tan Mo was guilt-stricken upon hearing that. She wouldn't dare look at Wei Zhiqian.

How could she dream of doing all those things with him when he treated her so well?

Not only did he know nothing about it, but he also deemed her to be a good girl. On top of that, he even seemed to enjoy her company a lot.

Hence, Tan Mo remained taciturn, fearing that she would let the cat out of the bag.

After unboxing the food containers, she found a small packet of wasabi paste and sushi soy sauce.

There were also several disposable sauce plates included.

Tan Mo did not squeeze the extra wasabi paste provided by the restaurant out because it was already in the sushi itself.

She only poured the sushi soy sauce on the tiny sauce plate.

Staring at Wei Zhiqian, who devoted himself to work, Tan Mo recalled that she was here to make sure he took his meal on time.

If she let him work with an empty stomach while enjoying the food by herself, her presence would be totally meaningless.

"How long will it take you to finish your work?" Tan Mo asked.

After glancing at the time on the computer screen, Wei Zhiqian made an estimation and replied, "It'll be no less than two hours."

"That long? Are you gonna eat after work?" Tan Mo questioned.

Wei Zhiqian responded with a smile. "I'll try to be fast."

"Not that again." Tan Mo puffed up her cheeks. After thinking about it, she felt a little embarrassed, yet she couldn't bring herself to let him stay hungry.

In the end, her unwillingness to let Wei Zhiqian stay hungry won the tug of war in her mind.

Feeling hotness on her flushed face, she bit the bullet and asked, "Would it be a hindrance if I fed you while you worked?"
