It was late at night.
Vincent sat at the dining table and wiped his hands, taking the towel again.
“You should eat on time in the future!” He spoke in a deep voice.
“Alright!” Leila nodded and replied somberly. Then, she picked up the chopsticks and started eating the food cooked by him. It was delicious, hot and she felt heartwarming when eating it.
But how could a man cook? And he cooked so well?
Vincent seemed to have had his dinner as he only sat at the table and looked at her who was eating.
Since Vincent was not moving his chopsticks for a long time, Leila raised her head and asked, “Aren't you going to eat?”
“I've had my meal!” He replied simply, staring at her.
“Oh!” Leila was stunned for a while and said, “Then you can just go ahead and you don't have to accompany me!”
The true fact was he really just cooked for her. Even though he was very tired, he still did not want to let her touch water. Vincent in this way made her confused. If he was not fickle in love, he must be a model husband.
“Nothing!” he said.
Obviously, he meant that he was going to sit there and watching her eating? He aimed to accompany her to eat?
However, she felt so embarrassing to finish her meal when he was looking at her.
After a pause, Leila bit the bullet and said, “Mr. White, you can go to watch TV program, I don't need you to stay with me!”
“Stay with you?!” Vincent chewed on these three words playfully. A smile flickered in his eyes and he responded, “Who said that I want to stay with you?”
After hearing that, Leila’s face flushed with shame, was she too passionate? Oops!
She could only lower her head and start swallowing rice while Vincent picked up the chopsticks and put some cabbage into her bowl.
Leila was choked with shock.
Vincent handed over a glass of water to her.
When she drank water with her blushing face, he said in a deep voice, “Do you know that how many women hope to have a meal with me?”
Leila was dumbfounded, she put down the cup and her eyes got darkened, “Yes, there are so many women who want to stay with you! But I am not one of them as I am used to be alone!”
‘If you want to have two best things at the same time, I would not be one of the women who wanted to have dinner with you!’ She thought sadly in her heart.
“As long as Mr. White is happy, just go ahead and accompany as many women as you like!” The following reply seemed to be a bit sad.
Vincent curled his lips slightly, and a smile flicked across his eyes. “Does it taste good?”
The topic of their conversation changed too quickly which caused Leila to choke again.
She whispered after drinking water, “It's very delicious!”
“This is the second time I cook for a woman, I am wondering does it tastes good?”
The second time?
Who did he cook for the first time? She seemed to have forgotten about the soup he had made for her for the first time.
He looked at her in a smile and had not ignore the doubts in her eyes.
Did it matter who did he cook for the first time?
Leila laughed at herself, then she lowered her head. She held the rice sullenly, stopped talking and finished her food quickly, “I'm done!”
She wiped her mouth with a tissue, giving him a faint smile and she decided not to think more about anything.
“What's that on your face?” Vincent raised his eyebrows. Then, he removed a small grain of rice from her face.
“Ah… I go and wash my face…” When Leila got up, her face blushed slightly. She wiped her mouth but she didn't get it clean. She was really ashamed.
"No need, it's clean now." Vincent looked at Leila with a smile. It seemed like he was in a good mood.
Whoa, she had never thought of having atmosphere like today which they sat opposite to each other and he even cooked for her!
“Mr. White…”
“When will you change your way to call me?” He stopped her words and asked calmly, "Try to call me husband… ”
His tone was as gentle as a patient teacher who was correcting students' mistakes.
“But, but I'm used to call you as Mr. White, it’s hard for me to change…” Leila’s face flushed even more, and she was super nervous.
“Then you just call my name!” he said.
“Vin?” She got her head up with her blushing face.
He blinked and seemed to take some time to think about it. After that, he pressed his thin lips tightly, and he shook his head. “That is the way that everyone is using to address me!”
OMG!
“Mr. Vin!” Leila addressed him.
“Is there any difference from Mr. White? My wife?”
“Then I'll call you Mr. White back, is it okay?” Leila replied in embarrassment.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
