Perhaps because Hua Shangmei had said something wrong, Ye Jiushang's face had been tense ever since. One look and one could tell that he was in a bad mood. He did not eat much. He remained cold throughout the meal, not saying a word.
"I have some business to handle. I'll take my leave. You guys take your time." Noticing the atmosphere, Hua Shangmei found an excuse to escape. He left like a gust of wind.
"Sigh… We haven't met properly yet.
"Why are you leaving so quickly! You look like you have a guilty conscience.
"Well, I guess it's good that you're gone. The remaining food is all mine.
"Ah Jiu, aren't you eating? This dish is good. It's even more delicious than what I make! Try it." Xue Fanxin knew that Ye Jiushang was in a bad mood. She would not sour it further. Instead, she would think of a way to make the people around her happy.
Ye Jiushang looked at her and asked in a deep voice, "Don't you have anything to ask?"
