She took her love for gourmet food very seriously.
Ya Shitian saw her actions and his lips curved into a slight arc.
"Miss Second, aren't you eating?" he asked Ye Rumeng.
"I have no appetite." Ye Rumeng kept facing him with her profile, not giving him a direct look.
With a mischievous tone, Ya Shitian said, "What to do, if you don't eat, I won't feel like resting."
The hidden meaning was, if I can't rest, neither can you.
Ye Rumeng knew that she couldn't afford to offend him too much, so she reluctantly picked up her chopsticks and took a couple of bites without much gusto.
"I've eaten, is that okay now?"
Ye Anqi was still eating, enjoying her meal. With her as a contrast, Ye Rumeng's behavior appeared to be very perfunctory, lacking respect.
Ya Shitian's eyes darkened, "Is Miss Second looking down on me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenshan beside them turned pale with fear.
"Rumeng, eat a little more, don't dampen Young Master Ya's spirits," he whispered to her.
Ye Rumeng felt very stifled. This was clearly her home, yet why should she have to please a domineering and detestable jerk?
But she understood that if Ya Shitian wanted to do something to her, her father wouldn't stand by her side either.
Seeing that Ye Anqi knew when to bend and when to stand, Rumeng pushed down the discontent in her heart and started eating slowly with her chopsticks.
On the entire dining table, only the two of them were eating.
Ye Anqi put down her chopsticks, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, "Young Master Ya, I'm full, may I go rest now?"
However, Ya Shitian turned to Mo Shisan and said, "Bring a bottle of wine here."
"Yes, Young Master."
They had brought their own wine, and Mo Shisan quickly retrieved a bottle of brandy.
He opened the bottle and set it on the table.
The liquor bottle was high-end, clearly expensive. Ye Anqi, who had a sharp eye, saw the alcohol content, which was actually 40%.
That wasn't a low percentage; it was considerably high...
Ya Shitian personally poured two glasses of wine, his long fingers holding up one glass, "Today, I'm in a good mood. Who among you will accompany me in drinking this glass?"
Ye Rumeng's face looked unpleasant, and she remained motionless.
Ye Anqi realized that Ya Shitian was just idle and intentionally playing with them.
"If we drink, can we go rest?" she asked.
Ya Shitian smiled, "Of course."
"I'll drink with you." Ye Anqi took the glass, made a gesture as though to toast, and then tilted her head back to down it in one gulp.
She knew how to drink, but it seemed this body did not. As soon as she drank, she felt a bit of repulsion, but she held it in.
After putting down the empty glass, Ye Anqi's face instantly flushed, making her look even more enchantingly beautiful.
"Young Master Ya, don't go back on your word. I need to rest now," she said with a slight smile, unaware that she looked so captivating that it was breathtaking.
Ya Shitian's eyes darkened further, "I mean what I say; you can go rest now."
Feeling slightly dizzy, Ye Anqi steadied herself, "Then I'm leaving, you guys take your time."
After speaking, she left with a somewhat unsteady gait.
Ya Shitian watched her retreating back, smiling in a devilish manner.
Ye Rumeng didn't expect that simply drinking would actually allow one to go rest.
She took the bottle and poured herself a glass, "Young Master Ya, I'll drink with you."
Ya Shitian naturally understood her thoughts, "Miss Second, you missed your chance. If you want to drink, then finish all that's left."
Ye Rumeng was stunned, "Don't be too excessive!"
Ya Shitian had an 'I am being excessive' expression, "Miss Second, are you drinking or not?"
"You are deliberately targeting me!"
