Surprised about what?
Xie Zhinuan chuckled lightly.
The maid brought over tea, and after nodding her head, Xie Zhinuan gestured for the maid to leave, then picked up the teacup and gently sipped from it.
Seeing Uncle Mute so tense, Xie Zhinuan felt quite helpless.
"Uncle Mute, have some tea!"
Uncle Mute hurriedly shook his head, but seeing Xie Zhinuan's caring gaze, he took the teacup and, after cautiously glancing at his master, gently sipped.
The nervousness in his heart was real, so was the worry.
He couldn't help but glance at Xie Zhinuan again and saw her composed demeanor, free of anger or blame, full of warmth.
Uncle Mute let out a soft breath.
Dugu Zhen watched, chuckled, and continued eating, occasionally taking a sip of wine and perhaps clicking his tongue, expressing his appreciation for the good wine and good food.
