Seeing Xu Binchen standing in a deferential yet cold manner, Shi Nian hurriedly put down the napkin and followed behind him. Because Shi Nian sat with her back facing them, only then did Granny Zhang and the young woman realize that Xu Binchen wasn't alone.
Shi Nian felt a piercing gaze fall onto her and she lifted her head to find the young woman looking at her with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Shudders ran down her spine inexplicably. The young woman reminded her of the officials and eunuchs who came to visit the General's residence.
The gaze they used to look at her was exactly the same.
As if looking at someone worthless but due to the circumstances, they couldn't do anything but to show a polite manner.
Shi Nian hastily retracted her gaze and scooted behind Xu Binchen's back.
Her little motion caught Xu Binchen's attention as the man turned back and asked, "What's wrong? Done eating?"
Shi Nian looked at her half full ramen bowl and honestly shook her head.
