Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

Sure, here’s the translated text:

Bai Chenyao still frowned, evidently not understanding why she continued to press on with the question. However, he didn’t look at her with icy eyes like before; he just gazed at Mu Tiantian with those deep, dark eyes, his voice calm.

"Isn’t that how dating works?"

Mu Tiantian was drinking plain water and choked directly.

"Cough cough cough..."

Bai Chenyao’s expression instantly darkened. He quickly stood up and walked to her side, lifting her up and holding her in his arms, patting her back gently.

This series of actions seemed as though rehearsed a thousand times, extremely skilled, the strength just right, helping Mu Tiantian recover quickly from the choking.

Seeing her sitting on Bai Chenyao’s lap, her whole body embraced by him, Mu Tiantian hurriedly spoke.

"Um, I’m going to sit across."

Bai Chenyao’s hands rested on her waist, not too forceful but not allowing her to leave easily.

"You can choke just drinking water, do you think I’d feel confident letting you sit alone again?"

Mu Tiantian: "..."

This has nothing to do with choking on water!

She choked on water because Bai Chenyao’s words were too stimulating for her fragile heart.

It wasn’t just the water-choking words; even the previous words, which were so straightforward and unusually intimate, even laced with bits of doting, didn’t fit Bai Chenyao’s typically cool demeanor.

Especially when he said those words, he was still looking indifferent.

Well, okay, compared to his previously icy attitude, there seems to be a lot more gentleness now.

In hindsight, Mu Tiantian recalled what Bai Chenyao said earlier.

Dating isn’t supposed to be like this?

Dating?

Did Bai Chenyao mean he’s currently dating her?

Mu Tiantian stared at Bai Chenyao, feeling utterly embarrassed; Bai Chenyao also gazed deeply at her. In less than a second of their eyes meeting, Mu Tiantian was the first to blink.

Clearly, her face wasn’t thick enough to compete with Bai Chenyao.

Mu Tiantian coughed awkwardly, glanced around the private room.

"Um, I’d rather sit by myself, A Yao; we’re outside after all, and if the waiter comes in to serve dishes, it won’t look good."

After Mu Tiantian spoke, Bai Chenyao coldly refused.

"This is good!"

Mu Tiantian: "..."

Dating, huh?

Fine!

"A Yao, since you think we’re dating now, dating involves mutual concessions, mutual understanding, mutual respect. For instance, I’d prefer to sit by myself now rather than have you hold me."

Bai Chenyao frowned, gazing at her with cold eyes, saying something that left Mu Tiantian utterly flustered.

"I’m the domineering CEO type!"

So, Mr. Bai, are you following the plot of a domineering CEO entirely?

Mu Tiantian felt disoriented, even when the restaurant manager personally came to serve the dishes; she didn’t manage to react.

As for the restaurant manager’s gaze on her and Bai Chenyao, she directly ignored it.

Her mind was solely on Bai Chenyao’s sentence "I’m the domineering CEO type!"

So, damn, has Bai Chenyao read all those books in his office?

Otherwise, how does he know what a domineering CEO is?

Looking at Mu Tiantian, who stared at him in a daze, Bai Chenyao smiled faintly with his lips slightly curled, his voice gentler and seemingly amused.

"Let’s eat!"

Mu Tiantian: "..."

Almost mechanically opening her mouth, letting Bai Chenyao feed her.

Silently thinking, is feeding people a favorite pastime for domineering CEOs in those "Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me" stories?

With that thought, Mu Tiantian got stumped again!
