Hua Manman said demurely, "I'm not hungry. Please, enjoy it yourself, Your Highness."
But in her heart, she was wailing—
'I really want to eat it!'
'But I'm so stuffed! Why do people only have one stomach? Why can't I have a few more?!'
Listening to her inner wails, Li Ji leisurely took a bite of the almond pastry. His long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of an amused smile gracing his features.
"It's quite good."
Hua Manman gulped.
Li Ji continued, "The almonds are crisp, and the milky flavor is very rich. Fragrant, sweet, and delicious."
Hua Manman: "..."
'Shut up, you jerk! Don't say another word!'
'I don't want to hear it!'
Li Ji slowly finished the last bite of the almond pastry. Afterward, he even stuck out the tip of his tongue and lightly licked his pale fingertips.
Hearing Hua Manman's inner thoughts, his smile grew even more amused.
'He just loved seeing her like this—able to see but not eat. How fun!'
