Chu Yun didn't like Tan Ruo's knowing smirk. He felt as if she was able to pry under his skin.
"Nothing happened," he lied, "I'm merely curious about, Sister Tan's marriage." Realising how that sounded, he hastened to add, "from the perspective of a person in an atypical union to another, of course."
She grinned, leaning across the table. Her large sleeve covered her hands in a girlish fashion. She seemed to delight in looking nothing like an alpha woman should.
"Has brother Chu ever walked by a stall selling fresh food, and thought the scents were delicious, mouthwatering even?"
Of course he had. He was sure that was an universal experience. "Yes," he said, unsure where Tan Ruo was going with this.
"Have you then, ever devoured all the food in the stall, even though you had just eaten? Or had family waiting for you at home so you could have lunch?"
Utterly befuddled now, Chu Yun shook his head.
