By the time Bai Jingye entered the kitchen, he saw her putting the sugar-coated peanut on a bowl while a sesame peanut brittle was hanging in her mouth.

"You… ungrateful wench."

The woman ignored him and instead, after filling the bowl with balls of sugar-coated peanut, she took the jar of peanut butter and opened it. She took the brittle from her mouth and covered it with peanut butter before she continued to eat it together with the ones in the bowl.

Bai Jingye looked at her in disbelief. When he was told by Tian Ruyi that her appetite for peanuts was unbelievable, she was talking about this. He watched Lu Mengjie prepare a bowl of milk and pop some sugar peanuts in it. He ended up frowning in disgust. "Why are you mixing the two?"

"Because it's delicious!" She even unpeeled a piece of banana and sliced it before putting them in the bowl of milk.

Delicious… it was not looking delicious at all. He sat at the stool of the counter and continued to judge her. The white color of the milk turned yellowish-brown as he watched her put more ingredients. He couldn't tell if she was simply going crazy after her fight with Yong Liwei or was this just a simple, everyday routine for her.

"Do you want to try?" She offered.

"No thanks, I'm good." He was quick to reject.

"Oh come on. It looks better than how it looks." She took an extra spoon for him. 

So she knew…

Could this be another form of torture from her? "It's late. Shouldn't you go to bed instead? Staying up this late is bad for your body." He reasoned out, more like, he was just finding an excuse to avoid eating the concoction she invented.

"I'm eating healthy food so it won't be bad," she refuted. Her eyes scanned the room, landing them on the wall clock. It was already 4 am. An hour has passed already since she woke up and learned the truth from Yong Liwei. Her mood changed when she remembered him. It was not like she could easily forget what had just happened but Bai Jingye was just good at distracting her from all the negativity that Yong Liwei caused her.

The man sitting by the counter noticed the simple change from her face which made him open his mouth just to distract her again. "Fine. Let me try that." He leaned forward, reaching out then stealing the spoon from her hand.

Lu Mengjie looked at him and blinked a few times. "I thought you didn't want to try it?"

"I changed my mind. It looks so delicious," he replied with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

A small laugh escaped her lips. "Then please do have a try." She pushed the bowl towards him.

The man gulped nervously at the sight of the food. It looked like someone else's puke. It was not appetizing at all. Just by the sight of it made him want to vomit as well. It was that worse.

"Ah! Wait! Let me put peanut butter in it! It'll be tastier!'

Tastier… What the hell was wrong with her tastebuds? In the end, he had to force himself to try whatever she just prepared. The moment it got in his mouth, he dropped the spoon he was holding. He simply couldn't understand the taste that he just wanted to throw it up… but he didn't. He gulped it in one go before he stood up and grabbed a glass, filling it with water.

"You don't like it?"

He exhaled loudly after finishing one glass of water. He looked at her with a pale face. "Is it not obvious enough?" He even raised his voice.

A pout appeared on her lips. She took the spoon and scooped some of the food. She ate it up and her face remained unchanged instead, she couldn't help but let out a delightful moan. "It's so tasty! Something must be wrong with your tongue!"

The man was looking at her with wide eyes. He watched her eat more from the bowl and the longer he watched, the more he felt his stomach turning up. "Seriously…?"

She looked at him, shaking her head in disappointment. "You should probably get your tongue checked up."

"No, not mine but yours! How can you even eat that weird food?"

"It may be weird…" she whispered, agreeing to his words. "But what the baby wants, the baby gets. Seriously, I think you're just overreacting. It's still food."

"It's the worst combination I've ever tasted."

She rolled her eyes and continued to enjoy her food instead. By the time she was done and satisfied, her mood became better.

"You should get some rest now. I have already scheduled our flight for Japan for this afternoon."

She blinked a few times and asked, "so you were not joking when you messaged me about our flight's schedule?"

"When have I ever joked? Our schedule was supposed to be this morning but I have to move it to the afternoon since you have another plan in mind."

"Ah…" She shrugged. "Well, at least I won't be busy with him anymore. He can fuck himself all he wants. I can't believe that he can become a human version of period cramps!"

Period cramps… Bai Jingye would never know what she meant by that especially when he has zero experience of whatever that was. One thing he could tell, she was surely insulting that other man.

"The next time I meet him…" Her eyes darkened upon remembering that devil's threatening words. She may have shrunk in fear earlier but now that her stomach was full and so was her baby, she found the courage to face him again. This time, she was full of resolve. She was going to make that diabolic man pay for the emotional damage he caused her.

He was going to kill her? Fine! She was not going to allow him to have his way on her anymore. If he thought that she was not going to put up a fight, then he should think again. The woman he was messing with was Lu Mengjie who could turn her hate into a fighting spirit.
