Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Emma jumped around in circles happily in the washroom. She was afraid she would lose her composure outside and be laughed at. She had expected that she would be able to ask Ye Tingyun out for a date successfully on the first try. She made a victory gesture and laughed soundlessly as she leaned against the door.

When Ye Tingyun returned to the top floor at noon, Ye Chu had just finished her lessons. The professor was eating in the cafeteria at the MISS building. There was a special break room. Ye Chu had a habit of taking an afternoon nap. If she did not, she would be exhausted in the afternoon. She sprawled on the study table weakly, blowing at her hair that had fallen down. Her round face and eyes made her look like a red, overripe apple.

The speckles of sunlight fell onto her like a silhouette from the old days. Ye Tingyun looked at her fixedly for a long while before walking over and looking at her head. Ye Chu stared directly in front, her eyes full of joy. “Brother…”

“Xiao Ju said that you didn’t really eat for lunch.”

“I don’t have a good appetite.” Ye Chu tugged on Ye Tingyun’s hand and said cutely. “No matter how yummy the food prepared by the chef is, I’m sick of it.”

“Are you hungry?”

“A little.” Ye Chu looked at him in a scheming manner and rubbed her forehead against his chest. “I heard that there is a cafeteria downstairs called MISS, sharing the same name with the building. They cook Chinese cuisine. I want to try it.”

“Shall we go downstairs to eat?” The MISS cafeteria was usually frequented by employees and a few Chinese people who visited after hearing about its name. Every day, only one-third of the seats were reserved for the public. Even if there was a lot of people queuing up for it daily, it was sufficient to just serve the employees in the building.

The dishes were also very diverse: there were Cantonese, Sichuan, and Northwestern cuisine. There was a lot of canto-style dim-sum as well. Before Ye Chu came, Ye Tingyun liked to eat downstairs and chat with the executives to know more about his employees’ family, background, troubles, and their work aspirations.

Ye Chu did not like to be in the crowds. She also had a mild social disorder and was only used to being with familiar people. She was cold as ice to people she was unfamiliar with, and she did not know how to converse with others. It was not because she was cold or condescending but because she did not know how to interact with people. Crowded surroundings were like torture to her.

“I’ll let the chef come up and cook for you.”

“I want to go down and eat.”

“Okay!” Ye Tingyun, who always answered to her requests, did not stop her and had Wei Ling arrange for a seat for them. Ye Chu went to change excitedly. Xiao Ju glanced at Ye Tingyun in a scheming manner and said to Ye Chu, “I’ll let both of you change into a couple outfit.”

“Okay, okay. I want to assert my dominance!” Ye Chu had already planned to walk around the building with Ye Tingyun. Being stuck on the top floor, she was like an invisible person. With the exception of Wei Ling, Hai Lun, and a few other people, no one else in the secretary office knew that about the woman on the top floor. Most of them thought that she was her little sister. Now that the person he liked was in the MISS building, Ye Chu wanted to woo him more vigorously and cling onto him before their relationship developed further.

Ye Tingyun wore beige casual clothes, so Xiao Ju helped Ye Chu change into a similar beige outfit. When Ye Tingyun went to buy clothes, he occasionally would buy a few outfits for Ye Chu as well, so a few of those outfits were couple outfits.

While Xiao Ju randomly chose a style for Ye Chu, Xiao Ju realized more and more about how cute Ye Chu was. She helped Ye Chu put on a necklace, earrings, and a watch decorated with jewels. For the finishing touch, she coordinated a pair of high heels to match with the outfit.

“Change your shoes,” Ye Tingyun said. Being so short, when wearing such a pair of high heels, she walks like a newborn. It is obvious that she is not used to such shoes.

“No!” Ye Chu refused. She was so short, and he was extremely tall.. If she did not wear high heels, they would look like a father bringing his daughter out.
