Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself Chapter 57 - Awkward

Chapter 57: Awkward
Throughout the three years of their marriage, he would find her presence to be rather extra.
They rarely sat together calmly for a meal either.
He obviously would not help her to the food too.
Li Beinian felt a sudden ache in her heart.
Staring at the slice of fish on the small plate in front of her, Li Beinian could not bring herself to eat it at all.
She liked fish, but she detested him.
Li Beinian lowered her head and ate her food quietly even though she avoided the slice of fish.
Growing anxious after noticing Li Beinian’s behavior, he gently reminded, “Niannian, the food is going to turn cold if you still don’t eat it.”
Mu Donglin glanced at her.
“I don’t like fish,” Li Beinian murmured softly.
Fang Zhili was bewildered and she noticed a peculiar expression on Li Beinian’s face.
Fang Zhili thought to herself, she eats plenty of fish at home.
Why has she started disliking fish now that we’re here?
Mu Donglin glanced at her and placed another piece of deep-fried rib onto her plate.
Li Beinian stared at the piece of meat and swallowed her saliva even though she still refused to pick it up with her chopsticks.
I’m not going to eat it!
“You don’t like this either? It’s not healthy to be such a picky eater,” Mu Donglin said while looking away calmly.
Fang Zhili interjected, “Niannian loves eating crab meat. She usually eats plenty when we have them at home.”
Mu Donglin then picked up some crab meat and placed it on Li Beinian’s plate.
Li Beinian was almost salivating but she still insisted on not touching the food. She glanced at Mu Donglin and said smilingly, “Thank you.”
Her fair and exquisite face was squeaky clean, just like her smile.
There was finally some warmth in Mu Donglin’s icy cold eyes and he expressed assent calmly.
Li Beinian stared at the food on her plate for a long while before finally grabbing her chopsticks to pick up some food from the dishes on the table.
Although it was far, she would rather go through the hassle than let Mu Donglin help her to the food.
She finally discovered how delicious the food was. It was no wonder Wu Meiya had greatly anticipated the culinary master’s skills!
Every dish was full of fragrance and flavor that made it irresistible!
Li Beinian was stuffing herself silly. In high spirits, she extended her chopsticks and picked up a slice of fish which she then placed inside her mouth.
She suddenly realized that someone was staring at her intensely.
Li Beinian swallowed the fish and turned around.
Mu Donglin glanced at her coldly and asked, “What are you eating?”
Li Beinian subconsciously answered, “Fish.”
She immediately realized that something was wrong.
Mu Donglin’s face grew sullen and stern.
He stared at Li Beinian and questioned coldly, “Didn’t you say that you don’t like fish?”
Li Beinian glanced at the fish that she was holding with her chopsticks before noticing that everyone was staring at her peculiarly. She smiled awkwardly and said softly, “I forgot… ”
A sudden tension filled the air.
A white light flashed past her brain and a sudden idea came to her mind. She added, “You didn’t give me the correct part of the fish. I like eating fish belly.”
Appearing extremely upset, Mu Donglin glowered at Li Beinian and said, “Fish belly was exactly what I placed on your plate.”
Li Beinian looked down in shock to see that it really was the case.
“Haha… I didn’t see clearly. I’m sorry,” Li Beinian said with an awkward smile.
Mu Donglin’s face turned increasingly sullen and sinister.
