Teacher Lih couldn't stand it, feeling as though several ants were crawling over her body, creating an uncomfortable sensation similar to a gripping and scratching at her heart.
This itself would have been enough, but she also had to pretend to eat as if nothing was amiss, without making any unnecessary movements because Mr. Shen's wife and mistress were right beside her.
Teacher Lih glanced at Mr. Shen from the corner of her eye and noticed his exceptionally calm expression; he held a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, picking up food without looking down. Who would have known the liberties he was taking under the table?
Shen Yuan wasn't new to this kind of daring operation; he had grown accustomed to a big heart through experience.
This was true both at Teacher Lih's home and at Mrs. Lin's house, akin to walking a high wire.
