Jovan sighed helplessly. �Looks like I�m not going to change your perception of me, but I really don�t intend to do anything bad today��

�Just spit it out, what do you want from me?�

�Nothing much, I just want you to stop overthinking and have a nice meal with me,�

Jovan said casually as he placed a piece of meat dipped in sesame sauce into Renee�s bowl. He did seem genuine as he gestured at her to eat it. �Have a taste, it�s really good.�

�Uh, is that it?�

�Yeah, that�s it.�

�Alright, I�ll try it out.� Renee finally picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a bite. This was her first bite of food tonight, and soon she felt surprised to fill her, as if she had found new land. It was delicious!

�Oh wow, this� this is so good! How could it be so juicy and savory? This is the best meat I�ve ever had!� Renee excitedly grabbed another piece, placing it in the boiling hot broth with the fragrant steam attacking their senses.

�Lamb innards taste great in hotpot, you know? And eating this with beer can make you feel like you�re in paradise!� Jovan was happy with Renee�s reaction. He even started recommending her the best way to enjoy it like he was an expert.

�Oh, this is so good! I�m going to cry!� Renee couldn�t stop at this point, switching between the meat po and beer. She didn�t even have the time to talk, and naturally forgot all about the trivial matters regarding Stefan.

�I told you so, some good hotpot is all you need to solve any problems in life! If one meal can�t help, have two!� Jovan watched the woman scarf down the food, his lips curving upwards as his eyes were filled with affection.

�Humans are still animals after all. Once you�ve satiated your hunger, everything else doesn�t matter all that much.�

�I didn�t expect you to have a deep side, you know. Looks like you�re not a total mess! I agree with your statement completely, those are some pretty wise words.� Renee sipped on her beer, feeling an innate happiness deep inside her.

Humans had very basic needs after all, any other problems were just created by themselves, most likely from overthinking when they couldn�t move on from certain situations.

�Good to know that you agree then. Come on, let�s eat and drink to our heart�s content! I�ll be right here with you.� Jovan said enthusiastically.

When Scarlet brought another few plates of meat and innards, the two quickly devoured everything on those three plates, all while drinking twelve glasses of beer each.

In the end, they started feeling quite tipsy.

Renee placed her chin on her palm, leaning into her seat. She was giggling profusely, mumbling on and on about how she wanted to keep going.

"Let's go. No more drinking, or else we aren't going to be able to get home." Jovan snatched the beer bottle out of Renee's hands, refusing to allow her to drink more. Even he was reaching his limit.

"Say� Jovan� Do you think I ate to my heart's content?" Renee grabbed the man's arm, her eyes blank as she slurred her words. JrNovels.com
