Shen Xiuqi playfully pinched her cheek and teased, “I think you’re getting a bit chubby.”

“Where?” Su Yaya quickly pushed his hand away, reaching for a mirror in her bag.

Shen Xiuqi smiled smugly. “If you keep eating like this, you’re bound to get chubby. I’ll make sure you eat plenty so you’ll become nice and round.”

Like most women, Su Yaya dreaded hearing, “You’re getting chubby.” She wasn’t an exception.

She glared at Shen Xiuqi, pretending to be angry. “You’re the one who’s fat! Your whole family is chubby!”

Even though she playfully scolded him, she knew deep down that she had been eating too much. She really couldn’t afford to keep eating like this, or she might lose her figure. Once she got home, she’d run on the treadmill for two hours—no, three hours!

Shen Xiuqi tried to pull her closer, but she refused to engage. He grinned and asked gently, “Are you upset?”

“Of course I’m angry,” Su Yaya said, pouting. “Don’t you know women hate being told they’ve gotten fat? I don’t want to be fat!”

Even though her metabolism might keep her slim despite all she ate, the fear still lingered—as it does with most women.

“Okay, okay,” Shen Xiuqi said, pulling her into his arms. He pinched her arms, then her waist, and added seriously, “Actually, I think you’re a bit too skinny. It’s uncomfortable hugging you.”

“No, I think I’m just right,” Su Yaya replied firmly. “Don’t try to sweet-talk me.”

Shen Xiuqi chuckled softly, holding her close. “If you get a little chubbier, you’ll be all mine.”

Psh. Su Yaya almost rolled her eyes at him.

He was certainly smooth with his words, but where did a dominant CEO like him learn to sweet-talk like this? If she actually got chubbier, she might be kicked out of the family even sooner!

Though she wanted her alimony so she could leave, she definitely didn’t want to be fat. Achieving a great figure wasn’t something that happened overnight—it took effort and hard work!

Humph, she wouldn’t be fooled by him!

She knew better than to trust the words of a man who likes to play the field!

Su Yaya patted his shoulder and changed the subject. “Don’t you have a lot of work to do? You should get back to it.”

“What about you?” Shen Xiuqi asked.

Su Yaya thought for a moment, then had an idea. “How about I stay here while you work? When you get tired, I can give you a shoulder and back massage?”
