Yu Yanshen paused in what he was doing with the food.
He lowered his gaze towards Yao Qing, his tone still leisurely and slow, "Why do you ask?"
Yao Qing raised an eyebrow, standing quietly before him, "I'm curious, which friend of yours could suffer from the so-called dirty tricks of that woman outside?"
Yu Yanshen withdrew his gaze, "You don't know her; she's not in Yaocheng anymore."
"..."
After a while, Yao Qing made an 'oh' sound.
"Then I'll go out first, you're busy."
As the words fell, Yao Qing turned to leave. The moment she turned, her expression changed subtly.
Before she walked out several steps, the man behind her reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Come and keep me company."
"I don't belong in the kitchen, remember?"
Yu Yanshen pulled her closer to him and lowered his gaze towards her, "That's why, it's to keep me company."
Yao Qing looked at him for a moment, then voiced an 'oh', "Alright, then I'll just stand here."
