"Have some soup, it's good for your body," he said as he personally ladled a bowl for her.
She didn't know what kind of soup it was, but it was fragrant, and a single whiff was enough to whet an appetite. Even Shen Ruo, who had no desire to eat, finished most of the bowl.
"Eat this, don't you love it?" he added a piece of tender lotus root to her bowl.
Shen Ruo stopped her cutlery and didn't move.
What was he trying to imply? Had he slapped her only to offer her candy now?
If he could be so ruthless with her, then he shouldn't be kind to her now!
Otherwise, it would make her feel very fake, very disgusted!
"I'm full, I want to go rest," she said as she put down her cutlery and used a napkin to wipe the corner of her mouth. Without waiting for his response, she got up and walked away.
After just a couple of steps, she heard the sound of Gu Kai slamming his cutlery down onto the plate forcefully. Shen Ruo stopped in her tracks, her heart starting to quiver again.
