Lin Jiage moved his lips once more.
But this time, before he could say a single word, Shi Yao had already spoken up once more, and this time, the topic had gone even further. "If we were in the imperial harem, you're the emperor, and we're all concubines. If you don't treat us differently, I'll be ostracized. Just that joke of yours earlier is enough to kill me. What do you mean by that? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Otherwise, you'll lose your life! "
Shortly after Shi Yao said those words, someone knocked on the door of the suite, and a waiter pushed a cart in to serve the dishes.
Shi Yao's nervousness immediately dissipated. "Ah, I'm really hungry. The dishes are here, so let's eat."
As she spoke, Shi Yao scooped up a bowl of soup and passed it to Lin Jiayi. Then, she scooped up another bowl and placed it in front of Lin Jiage. "It's time to eat."
Lin Jiayi thanked Shi Yao, but Lin Jiage didn't react at all to Shi Yao's bowl of soup. His eyes were still glued to Shi Yao's face.
It was only when the young lady lowered her head to drink the soup that he lowered his eyelids to conceal the disappointment in his eyes.
He could tell that she had purposely said so much just to prevent him from opening his mouth.
Did she really think that he was joking, or was she just reacting out of embarrassment? Or did she not want to hear the truth from him at all?
Lin Jiage turned to look at Shi Yao, who was currently wolfing down the food in her mouth.
Perhaps it was due to the delicious food, but she was no longer as nervous as before …
Lin Jiage opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say a word to Shi Yao.
If there were really some words that made her uncomfortable, he might as well … not say them at all … After all, it wasn't his intention to make her sad.
…
By the time they finished their meal, it was already past nine. Lin Jiage first sent Lin Jiayi back home.
In order to dawdle until the mall closed, Lin Jiage pretended to drive carelessly past an intersection and around half of the Second Ring Road. What should have been a twenty-minute journey ended up taking nearly an hour before they finally arrived at their home.
It was already getting late, and Lin Jiage had to send Shi Yao home, so the two of them didn't enter the house.
When Lin Jiayi opened the trunk to take out her stuff, she realized that a portion of the bags were missing. a frown appeared on her forehead. She carefully counted the bags, and there were really seven of them missing. Only then did she call out to Lin Jiage, "Why are the bags missing?"
Hearing the commotion, Shi Yao and Lin Jiage got out of the car.
He checked again and found that the bag was really missing …
He tilted his head to the side and pondered for a moment before replying, "If I recall correctly, there were too many bags when I went to the toilet, so I placed them in several different places. I ended up forgetting one of them …"
"You forgot? Are you suffering from dementia? " Seeing that her favorite dress was gone as well, Lin Jiayi flew into a rage. "You useless ATM machine!"
While Shi Yao felt that it was a pity to lose those items, it wasn't Lin Jiage's intention to do so. Besides, he had been carrying their bags for so long. Thus, she tugged on Lin Jiayi's sleeves and said, "Sis Jiayi, he didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry anymore."
"I …" Hearing Shi Yao's words, Lin Jiayi couldn't bring herself to vent her anger.
I can't let Yaoyao have a bad impression of me … Lin Jiayi cursed all eighteen generations of Lin Jiage's ancestors in her heart before tossing a "Forget it, on account of Yaoyao, I won't bicker with a useless ATM machine like you anymore" before grabbing her portion of the bag and walking away.
