Both of them ate silently throughout the meal.
After Beitang You was done, he placed his utensils down and looked at her silently.
There was braised chicken with chestnuts on the table, which Yaoyao really liked. She wanted to take more, but when she noticed him staring at her, she suddenly lost her appetite.
Her pretty brows furrowed. What was there to look at?
There were so many delicacies on the table. Were those dishes not enough to attract his attention?
She put down her chopsticks and wiped her lips with a handkerchief. She stood up and said, "I'm done with my meal. I'll return to my room first."
"Alright," Beitang You replied and stood up as well.
When Yaoyao saw this, she quickly said, "There is no need to walk me back."
Beitang You paused before looking at her with a smile. "I wasn't planning to. I was about to return to the imperial study to continue working on my Palace Memorials."
