Mute Beauty

Chapter 58: Temptation

Ran Ling: "Hold on a second, I'll go change into another outfit first."

Yu Ting: "Okay."

The outfit she was wearing wasn't suitable for going downstairs to meet Aunt Song; right now, nothing was more important than filling her stomach.

About five minutes later, Ran Ling sent another message: "All set."

Receiving her reply, Yu Ting immediately called her on video.

At this moment, Ran Ling was sitting on the edge of her bed, wearing a cotton long-sleeve nightgown. Hearing the sound of rain pattering outside, Yu Ting realized it was raining in Yun City.

Looking at the camera, Ran Ling noticed her bangs were a bit messy, and she reached up to smooth them down. Yu Ting was in the back seat of a car, the lighting dim, with only occasional streetlights illuminating her features. It was just enough to see her striking facial features and outline, her all-black outfit making her face appear even softer in the hazy light.

Ran Ling bit her lip, staring at her with eager eyes.

At that moment, Ran Ling was fresh-faced, only wearing a bit of lip balm. Compared to the blushing look in the photos she had sent, her face looked paler, which made her appear even more gentle and innocent, almost obedient. This was a stark contrast to the "bed photo" she had just sent Yu Ting.

She had transformed back into the knowledgeable and gentle woman that Yu Ting was familiar with.

The normally shy person had dared to take such a photo and even sent it to Yu Ting... Imagining that scene made Yu Ting feel a bit restless.

Gathering her thoughts, Yu Ting pushed the photo aside for now and gently told her, "I just messaged Aunt Song to heat up the food; it should be ready by now. Hurry down to eat."

Ran Ling obediently picked up her phone and got up to go downstairs, seemingly reluctant to take her eyes off Yu Ting, still glancing at her phone.

Yu Ting watched the screen and corrected her: "You need to look where you're going; don't stare at your phone."

Ran Ling blinked, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes, and then lowered her gaze to watch where she was going.

Aunt Song had set the heated food back on the dining table; it was the dinner that had just been made not long ago. Since Ran Ling hadn't come down to eat, it had cooled down.

Ran Ling placed her phone on a stand facing her, inadvertently revealing half the dishes on the table.

In just a few minutes, they hadn't even reached the hotel yet; Yu Ting was still in the car, trying to relax against the seat, resting her hand on her face. Noticing that Ran Ling was still staring at her, she frowned slightly and urged her, "Eat quickly."

"Okay~"

Yu Ting sounded so serious.

Ran Ling chuckled to herself.

She picked up her chopsticks and reached for some food, taking a piece of rib under Yu Ting's watchful gaze. Yu Ting didn't show any intention of hanging up the call, continuing to supervise her eating.

Ran Ling ate very gracefully, exceptionally demure. Being observed by Yu Ting made her a bit nervous, which only made her look more endearing. Just watching her made one want to feed her.

Yu Ting couldn't help but say, "Eat another rib."

Ran Ling paused for a moment, compliant, and quickly grabbed another rib to eat.
