Sheng Li let go of Ying Lili and called for Court Lady Xu. Ying Lili took a breath of relief as she was close to confessing that her heart indeed fluttered when Sheng Li got close to her. Court Lady Xu came to the chamber and greeted them.
"Prepare for our dinner," Sheng Li ordered. Court Lady Xu bowed her head left from there. Sheng Li looked at Ying Lili and saw she was lost somewhere. He snapped his fingers in front of her eyes, which brought her out of her thoughts.
"What were you thinking?" Sheng Li asked.
"Nothing," Ying Lili lied and got down from the bed. She went towards the dining table and pulled a chair out. "Come," Ying Lili told Sheng Li who too came there, and the two sat on their respective sides. After the food was served to them, Sheng Li ordered everyone to leave.
