Their food had already been served on the table by the time Lin Jiage got off the phone.
Shi Yao had been stuffing some food into her mouth when she heard Lin Jiage's words. Not in a convenient state to speak, she could only shake her head in response.
While she was taking her phone from Lin Jiage's hands, she noticed the deep look of guilt in Lin Jiage's eyes. She quickly swallowed whatever she was chewing and looked at Lin Jiage with her large, earnest eyes, "It's fine."
Perhaps it was her sincere expression that convinced Lin Jiage, but the latter finally retracted his gaze and picked up his chopsticks.

After the meal, Shi Yao called over the waitress for the bill.
Unlike before, Lin Jiage didn't argue with her for the bill this time around. Instead, he leisurely leaned back on his seat, watching as the waitress delivered the bill into Shi Yao's hands.
