Ya Shitian asked playfully, "Do you think I am a human or a ghost?"
"A devil!"
Ya Shitian laughed, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Ye Anqi had no desire to engage in idle talk with him and continued walking away indifferently.
Ya Shitian did not try to stop her; he reined in his smile and also strode away, followed by the ever-loyal Mo Shisan.
...
Time quickly reached noon.
During lunch, everyone was present except for Luo Zifeng, who had already left the previous night.
Ye Rumeng also came, and aside from looking pale, she showed no other signs of distress.
For her, it was as if nothing had happened.
Ya Shitian sat opposite them, cutting his steak with elegance.
Sima Qing suddenly turned to ask Ye Rumeng, "Rumeng, did you not rest well last night? You look pale."
"..." Ye Rumeng seemed not to have heard.
Sima Qing did not ask further and continued eating her meal.
Suddenly, a well-cut portion of foie gras was pushed forward, appearing in front of Ye Rumeng.
