Ye Rui knew he had returned, but still didn't lift her head and just kept eating her meal.
Leng Shaoqing looked at her several times, but she seemed not to look at him at all, showing great interest only in the plate of poached fish slices before her.
Leng Shaoqing's chopsticks reached out too, wanting to taste what was so attractive about this dish. Yet once he picked up a slice of fish, Ye Rui stopped eating it and turned to another dish of blanched vegetable hearts.
The meal was eaten in heavy silence, with no one speaking.
The surrounding servants also didn't dare to make a sound. As soon as the two finished eating, they hurriedly started clearing away with light and careful movements.
After putting down her chopsticks, Ye Rui went upstairs, and Leng Shaoqing sat for a while before following her up.
"Let me look at your face." As soon as Ye Rui entered the room, Leng Shaoqing grabbed her arm from behind.
