The streets were crowded and noisy, and the dejected figure of a young man walking through them did not seem particularly eye-catching.Clearly, he was quite tall, with black hair and a pair of striking gold-colored eyes. Yet his hunched back, slightly long hair, four-diopter prescription glasses, and utterly ordinary aura made him seem completely unremarkable.Ethan carried a cardboard box in his arms, recalling everything that had happened over the course of this very morning.He had been laid off due to staff cuts. The girlfriend he had been dating for a year, whom he had not even held hands with yet, broke up with him for no reason at all. She screamed that he was useless, as though she had completely forgotten the money he had been giving her every month.Everything ended before Ethan even had time to react. The moment he stepped out of the company building, he immediately saw his girlfriend clinging affectionately to the director’s son. That young man was the perfect figure in e

Ethan’s mind was constantly occupied with new ideas, even as he continued approving various contracts on the side. He was truly pushing his brain to its limits.He recalled the things he could foresee in the future. Naturally, there were many dishes, but he did not know their exact recipes. The best approach was still to research them himself.Ethan thought to himself that starting tomorrow, he could lock himself in the kitchen at home to experiment. Robert would be able to handle everything else on his own.Robert, who was working diligently, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason. He rubbed his nose. The weather was not cold, yet today was truly full of strange occurrences.Glancing at the clock, it was already time for Ethan to get off work. Robert quickly gathered everything and then left.Of course, a perfect assistant also doubled as a driver.Outsiders all said that Robert was Ethan’s nanny. Robert did not mind at all. Aside from him, who else could tolerate Ethan’s arrogant t

Ethan’s scorching breath brushed against that place, making Milvin tremble. Before she could even try to escape, Ethan opened his mouth, his tongue licking over it, then slipping directly inside—yet not fully thrusting in, only licking and pressing against the outside.His tongue was thick and soft, and especially hot—much hotter than fingers. Almost instantly, it made Milvin moan in pleasure as slick fluid continued to spill out. But things grew worse when Ethan’s tongue moved upward, beginning to lick at her clitoris, which was slightly protruding from the stimulation.Every time Ethan’s tongue pressed down and licked over that spot, Milvin jerked violently, letting out strained moans. She shook her waist, trying to escape, but Ethan held her firmly in place.Ethan carefully licked at the reddened flesh, then suddenly sucked it in. As he sucked, his tongue continued circling and teasing without pause.Milvin cried out, “No, Master, I’m going to come, Master! Please, I beg you… ah, a

Ethan tried every dish on the table and could tell that even an ordinary dish, once it passed through Milvin’s hands, was truly elevated to a whole new level. However, the shrimp dish was still the most special and the most unfamiliar to his palate.After a long, exhausting day of work, Ethan had thought he would have to face all the obstacles and confront the reality of this world alone. Yet as he held Milvin and fell asleep, he still felt as if everything was just a dream.“Thank you for appearing in my life, Milvin,” Ethan said softly in the darkness.Milvin hugged Ethan tightly, burying his head against Ethan’s chest, and shook his head. "It is because of you that my existence has meaning, Ethan."Ethan did not quite understand what Milvin meant by those words. By the time he asked again, Milvin was already fast asleep, his breathing steady and even.Ethan buried his face in Milvin’s hair, feeling that Milvin always seemed to carry a faint, milky sweetness about him.The corners o

The meeting to discuss Efood’s future direction, which had only been held a few days ago, was convened once again.Facing the predator-like gazes from below, Ethan announced his decision without the slightest hesitation.“I will participate in The Culinary Crown.”The moment Ethan finished speaking, an uproar immediately broke out in the room.Many people opposed this decision, especially since just the day before they had already agreed to Ethan’s proposed solution.“You change your decisions like a weather vane, Ethan. There’s not a shred of steadfastness in you. Perhaps you should reconsider the position you’re sitting in.”One of the board members spoke up. He was from the same generation as Ethan’s father and had always been eager to nitpick every minor mistake Ethan made.Previously, for the sake of the company’s development, Ethan had not paid much attention to it. But parasites like these were precisely what caused Efood to rot from the inside.He chuckled lightly and said ind
