She would rather share the meal with the rest or not have it at all to avoid any embarra.s.sment.

He followed the direction of her gaze to the two people on the other side of the table…

“Oh, I forgot about them.”

His words felt like little arrows that frostily pierce their hearts.

“Tsk tsk tsk… It's unethical to display your mus.h.i.+ness openly in public,” Yao Tiao retorted with a smile as she added the ingredients to the hotpot stock.

The man simply replied, “She hasn't had breakfast yet and she shouldn't be eating this on an empty stomach.”

“Alright, alright. Xiao Ruo, you better have your dumplings now.” Ji Sichen shook his head in resignation.

The woman gave them a contented smile, took one of the crystal dumplings, and brought it close to her man's lips. “Why don't you have one too?”

“These are for you.”

“But I can't finish them.”

He then took two of these and stole two big gulps of her soybean drink!

“Hey, isn't that Xiao Ruo? Isn't it?” Yu Lingfeng exclaimed excitedly, speaking to his friend.

“Yes, it seems to be her.”

“What a coincidence!”

Ye Erruo and her friends had started to dig into the food, chatting happily as they ate.

“Gentlemen, please follow me.” The attendant led the two men to the table next to them while the two of them pretended not to recognize the group next door.

“Sir, would you like to place your order now?” asked the server with a smile.

Mo Jiangye looked up from his food and was ready to pour some hot water for his woman when he caught sight of the two men sitting at the table next to them.

“Oh. Hi, Young Master Mo. What a coincidence!”

“What are the two of you doing here?”

Ye Erruo looked up abruptly when she heard that.

Yao Tiao broke into a violent coughing fit. WTF! Young Master Mo's love rival! Oh, sh*t! Oh, sh*t!

Yu Lingfeng looked in displeasure at Mo Jiangye. “Are you the owner? Is this place only serving you? Why can't we come?”

Mo Jiangye went into high alert mode instantly. After smirking blatantly, he told the server, “This is my place. Get these two fellas out of here!”

Startled, the server told him, “Sir, I'm sorry, but we only have these two seats left for these guests. We ask that you kindly cooperate.”

She could sense the overt enmity between these two guests, but there were really no other tables available to accommodate the latest arrival. Besides, she had seen the boss before and she knew that Mo Jiangye wasn't the owner.

Looking frigid, the man took out his phone and dialed a number.

“What are you doing, Mo Jiangye?”

“I don't want to see these two pieces of c.r.a.p.”

Before long, the supervisor came over and told them, “Can I ask the two gentlemen to follow me, please? We have arranged a room for you.”

Yu Lingfeng objected immediately. “No, thank you. I prefer this table.”

Ye Erruo nudged her man and whispered into his ear, “It's just a meal. You can look away and ignore them.”

The man retorted coldly, “No. The sight of these two pieces of sh*t has affected my appet.i.te.”

Ji Sichen's mouth twitched sharply as he broke into a coughing fit.

Oh, aren't they the two men who antagonized Young Master Mo in the past? Red Bean belongs to them, right?

Bo Jinyan told the server, “You can serve our food now.”

“I'm sorry, gentlemen. Please follow me to your designated room.”

Mo Jiangye barked, “Why are you giving them a room? Kick them out of this place!”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The supervisor nodded dumbly.

“What a bully!” Yu Lingfeng remarked frostily.

Mo Jiangye gave him a condescending look. Why, are you unhappy about this? Well, there's nothing you can do about it!

His rival wouldn't back down either, as he put his hands down on the table and took a seat with determination. It was clear that he was not going to move to another table!

“C'mon, just ignore them.” The woman tried to ease the tension as she clenched his hand quietly.

“Hmph!”

So you want to sit next to us? Alright then!

“Wifey, the scarf that you wove for me is really beautiful,” the man spouted suddenly.

Everyone instantly turned to look at the scarf he was wearing.
