Chapter 53: This man steals the spoon she used!
Translator: 549690339
The small chair, less than 20 centimeters tall, looked like it was meant for a kindergarten child. It felt very out of place for a tall, elegant man to sit on it.
Passersby cast curious glances in their direction.
Many girls, upon seeing such a top-notch man all by himself, wanted to strike up a conversation. But when they noticed the Siberian cold air emanating from his body and his handsome face filled with a “stay away” expression, they quietly backed off in fear.
A man’s beauty could be commendable, but one’s life was much more important.
This handsome guy didn’t seem to be in a good mood, so it was probably best not to provoke him.
“Come on, it’s ready.” Enna Clark bought two servings of pineapple rice and carefully brought them over in her hands. She placed one in front of the icy-faced man and casually placed the other one beside him. Then she huffed and puffed on her cherry-red fingers.
She should have asked the boss for a plate to carry them.
“What happened to your hand?” Baron Lawrence’s face was still cold, but his concerned eyes betrayed him.
Enna discreetly hid her hand, smiled, and sat down. “It’s okay. The pineapple rice was a bit hot, and I accidentally burned my fingers. It’s all good now.”
Baron Lawrence didn’t believe her, so he forcefully pulled out her left hand to examine it. After making sure that it was indeed okay, his expression slightly softened. “Idiot! Couldn’t you ask the stall keeper to help you bring the food over?”
1.5 dollars purchase, who would care about that?
Enna stuck out her tongue and didn’t argue with him. She handed a disposable plastic spoon to Baron Lawrence, lowered her head to sniff the fragrant pineapple rice, and sighed in genuine appreciation. “It smells so good.” He couldn’t see what was so fragrant about it.
Baron Lawrence didn’t move an inch and showed no intention of eating.
Enna didn’t care whether he ate it or not. After all, she had bought it for him, so if he didn’t eat it, it was his loss. She picked up her spoon and started to enjoy her meal wholeheartedly.
Pineapple rice is prepared by hollowing out a pineapple and stuffing it with glutinous rice before adding pineapple flesh and steaming it. Though this recipe is simple, the sweet taste of pineapple infuses the glutinous rice, making it extra delicious.
Enna enjoyed her meal, while the man who had been motionless furrowed his brows and hesitated, looking at the pineapple rice placed in front of him.
This was his first time eating at a street food stall, and he was very picky about his food.
However, seeing the happy expression on the little woman’s face as she ate the dish, he found himself wanting to try this cheap snack that he wouldn’t have given a second glance under normal circumstances.
“I’ll take this one.” He suddenly reached out his hand to grab the half-eaten pineapple rice from Enna, bringing it to his side and then pushing his untouched portion to her. “You eat this one.”
“Uh…” With a bewildered expression, Enna murmured a reminder, “But I already ate from that one.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the spoon in her hand was forcefully taken away by him. He gave her his unused one.
She watched, wide-eyed, as the elegant man gracefully picked up her used spoon and scooped a spoonful of her leftover pineapple rice into his mouth.
As soon as the pineapple rice entered his mouth, Baron Lawrence’s furrowed brows relaxed.
It was too sweet… He didn’t like overly sweet food. However, it seemed to be much more delicious than he’d imagined.
He happily curled his thin lips and scooped up another spoonful. With a sidelong glance at the dumbstruck woman, he reminded her, “Eat up.. Why are you just staring at me?”
