Shen Mo Ke was like a gust of wind as he swiftly went upstairs. He grabbed onto Yu An's slender waist, just in time to avoid the danger of her head hitting the ground.

"Are you stupid?" He wouldn't even take the stairs properly.

He scolded harshly, and Yu An's eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes filled with tears.

He was angry with her.

Shen Mo Ke's brows were filled with indifference, but his long and narrow eyes were filled with a hint of warmth.

However, he did not go to comfort Yu Anxin as he usually did. Instead, he directly released her and said in a deep voice, "Go back to your room."

Yu An Nian's slender waist seemed to still retain the warmth of his fingers, but reality was like a needle piercing into her heart.

Yu Anxin looked at his tall figure as he walked towards Xiao Bai. He was the first person who rushed up to hug her. A trace of warmth rose in her heart. However, all of his coldness had completely extinguished at this moment.

When Xiao Bai appeared, he treated her differently.

"Little Nian, it's time to eat."

Feeling that something was wrong, Ye Li lightly patted Yu Anhui's shoulder.

Yu An looked dazedly at Xiao Bai sitting at the seat closest to Shen Mo Ke, smiling as he spoke with him.

Shen Mo Ke was as handsome as a man, slicing his own dinner in a reserved manner, but the action of turning his head seemed to be attentively listening to Xiao Bai's words.

Unbeknownst to him, Shen Mo Ke was looking at Yu An Nian from the corner of his eyes.

Yu Anhui's finger trembled. The seat that Bai Xiuxiu was sitting on was originally hers.

However, she had always liked opposing Shen Mo Ke. Thus, when she sat opposite him, Shen Mo Ke would be displeased and he would slap her into his embrace.

She was forced to sit on his lap to eat, which made the maid blush and lower her head, not daring to look.

However, Bai Wei seemed to be in a good mood with Shen Mo Ke. She was like an outsider rushing in, wasn't it awkward?

Yu Anhui turned and left.

Ye Li went to the kitchen and prepared to go upstairs with his dinner.

Shen Mo Ke's eyes swept across the hall, but he didn't even see Yu An Nian's figure. His thin lips formed a straight line as he asked, "What about her?"

Everyone knew who she was referring to.

Ye Li's heart was trembling. She held the plate tightly with her fingers, "Xiao Nian is not feeling well, so I wanted to have a meal in the room."

Sick? Shen Mo Ke subconsciously wanted to get up to check on the situation.

However, the moment he saw Xiao Bai sitting beside him, he seemed to have guessed something. His delicate brow furrowed as he said, "Call her down."

"Yes." Ye Li did not dare to disobey.

Yu Anxin heard Ye Li's words and chuckled. He didn't even want to give her peace and quiet anymore.

Yu Anxin washed his face, tidied up his facial expression, and sat down at the table.

Yu Anhui was quietly eating. Her graceful posture did not make the slightest sound, making others overlook her existence.

"Hey, isn't this peaceful?"

Xiao Bai only felt that she looked a little familiar. Now that she was sitting closer to him, she finally recognised him.

Yu Anxin paused a moment before replying, "Yes."

Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, covering the astonishment in the depths of his eyes. "Speaking of which, the last time we met was in the imperial city three years ago. Your dance was so breathtaking that there are countless people."

After hearing what she had said, Yu An remembered the past as well.

That day, when she and her mother went to the imperial city to attend a banquet, someone suggested that she and Bai Wei each dance and play the zither.

She wore a white dress all year round, and when she stepped onto the stage, she even smiled at herself and bowed to each other.

However, she didn't expect that the white dress that was played very gently at the start would suddenly change to a song that was extremely melodious. Yu Anhui was wearing a light blue long skirt, and helplessly, he quickly tied a knot at the side of his skirt and moved along with her music.

Everyone watched the dance, but in reality, Xiao Bai had played over a dozen tunes. Every tune was very different, and when everyone heard the music, their ears were slightly white, but their eyes were looking at her.

If she hadn't been able to keep up with the slight rhythm of the white, she would have lost her mother's face.

Yu Anhui had even sprained his ankle because of this, but fortunately, the crowd was able to see through nothing.

She remembered that Xiao Bai said to her afterwards, "Pfft, you think you're worthy?"

Yu Anhui gradually recovered from her past. As she looked at Xiao Bai's beautiful and moving face, she looked even cleaner than she used to. She was even better at disguising herself.

"Miss Bai's music is also very good." Yu Anxian praised her in an indifferent manner.

Her eyes were only focused on food, she did not want to talk to Bai.

Xiao Bai's faint smile froze on his face. She put down her knife and fork and asked, "Ke, I'm not used to eating Western cuisine. Can I change it to Chinese cuisine?"

"Sure."

Yu Anxin glanced at the steak on her plate that she hadn't eaten much and frowned. What did it have to do with her that Xiao Bai didn't eat Western Cuisine at all?

She wanted to eat because she was hungry. She wanted to change the Chinese cuisine, but it was not necessary for everyone to change the Chinese cuisine.

Yu Anxin was adamant about not changing the dinner, which caused Bai Yi to look at her sideways, "An Nian, I recently read in the books that this steak is half-cooked. It is most likely to give you diarrhea if you eat it. And there are a lot of it in there …" "Little insect."

With Bai's slight upbringing, it was difficult for him to even say those three words.

Xiao Bai reminded her with good intentions, but he was telling Yu Anxin that with her position, even Shen Moke would have to help her trade in food that she did not want to eat.

Yu Anhui slowly put a small piece of steak into his mouth, then used a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you for your concern. My steak is fully cooked."

Xiao Bai's face stiffened. He immediately covered his mouth to hide his surprise. "The best steak is 70% cooked and 30% cooked. Don't you know that?"

These words were said as if he had just eaten something and wasn't able to follow his own heart. Yu Anxin scoffed in his heart, Bai Xiufeng really had nothing better to do. He even dared to challenge her.

"But you also said that there are parasites in the raw steak!"

Xiao Bai covered his mouth in disgust and said, "At the dining table, talking about this will affect one's appetite."

Yu An rolled his eyes. Didn't Xiao Bai want to say, 'How noble of a lady is she?'

When she stood together with her, it made her seem like a prostitute, an ugly duckling.

Why did she need Guan Bai to not eat? It wasn't like she was hungry.

"But you were the one who started it."

Bai Dan's throat tightened. He was unable to retort.

Shen Mo Ke's eyes glimmered as his gaze landed on a certain sharp-tongued young lady.

The stars in his eyes only bloomed for her. Shen Mo Ke said, "There's no need to trade for me."

Ye Li brought Shen Mo Ke another steak.

Meanwhile, Bai Ruo's Chinese cuisine had already been prepared.

Xiao Bai looked at the two people sitting opposite to him. All that was left was the red wine and the candles. Almost all of them were eating candlelight dinner.

But she seemed a little out of place.

Xiao Bai's face contorted slightly, but it was hard for her to flare up in front of Shen Mo Ke.

He could only endure it silently as he continued to eat.

After dinner.

Yu Anxin offered to help Ye Li wash the dishes.

Startled, Ye Li pushed her out of the kitchen. "Little Nian, this isn't something you should do."
