Lin Jiage’s lips began moving once more, but this time, before he could say a word at all, Shi Yao had already cut in, and she brought the topic even further away from the main point he was trying to put across.
“If this was a drama about the imperial harem, and you are the emperor and we’re all your concubines, your obvious favoritism will cause me to be shunned by everyone else. Just that joke of yours would get me poisoned to death before the sun rises tomorrow! What is that called again? Yes, you can eat anything you like, but you can’t simply say anything you want! Someone might just lose her life just because of something you said on a whim!”
Right after Shi Yao said those words, the doors to the compartment opened, and a waiter pushed a small cart into the room and served the dishes.
It was only then that the tense Shi Yao finally calmed down a little. She muttered meekly, “That, I’m a little hungry now. Since the dishes are already here, let’s dig in.”
As Shi Yao spoke, she picked up the soup ladle and served a bowl of soup for Lin Jiayi first before proceeding to do the same for Lin Jiage too. After that, she gestured with a smile, “Let’s eat.”
Lin Jiayi thanked Shi Yao whereas Lin Jiage showed no reaction toward the bowl of soup served by Lin Jiage. Instead, his eyes still remained fixated on Shi Yao’s face.
It was only till she lowered her head to drink the soup did he finally lower his gaze to conceal the disappointment in his eyes.
He could tell that she had tried so hard to get so many words in earlier was to stop him from saying anything else.
Did she really think that he was joking, or was this an instinctive reflex from her due to her embarrassment? Or was he to take it as a hint that she was unwilling to hear his true feelings?
Lin Jiage shot another glance at Shi Yao and saw that she was wolfing down the food before her.
Perhaps it was because of how delicious the food was, she didn’t appear to be as nervous as before.
Lin Jiage opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, not a single word came out of him at all.
If his words really made her feel uncomfortable, it might be better for him… not to say them at all… It was never his intention to put her in a spot, after all.

It was already nine at night by the time they were done with dinner. Lin Jiage chose to send Lin Jiayi back home first.
In order to drag the time out till the closure of the shopping mall, Lin Jiage intentionally passed by the exit they were supposed to head into on the highway and ended up taking a huge detour. In the end, what that should have been a twenty minutes journey ended up dragging out for over an hour before they finally arrived at the Lin Family Residence.
Using the excuse that it was dangerous for a lady to return home at such an ungodly hour, Lin Jiage insisted on sending Shi Yao back home, so neither of them got off the car.
On the other hand, Lin Jiayi got down and opened the back trunk, only to realize that a huge chunk of her bags had gone missing. She carefully counted them yet again and found that they were indeed seven of them that weren’t around.
So, she shouted for Lin Jiage and asked, “Why are so many of my bags missing?”
Hearing those words, Shi Yao and Lin Jiage immediately got off the car.
They counted the bags in the back trunk too, and there were indeed quite a few of them missing.
Lin Jiage racked his head as he tried his darndest best to recall what happened earlier in the day before finally saying, “I placed some of the bags by the side when I went to the washroom earlier to the day, and I think I forgot to take them with me…”
“You forgot them? Have you gone senile?!” Seeing how so many of the clothes that she loved had gone missing due to Lin Jiage’s mistake, Lin Jiayi immediately lost her temper. “You are a useless ATM machine!”
While Shi Yao thought that it was a huge pity that those items had gone missing, she also knew that it was just a moment of carelessness that Lin Jiage left those items back in the washroom. Besides, he did accompany them and carried their bags for them for the entire day.
So, she tugged Lin Jiayi’s sleeves and said, “Sis Jiayi, he didn’t do it intentionally. Don’t blame him for it.”
“I…” After hearing Lin Jiayi’s words, she had no idea where she could vent that the rage cramped up in her belly.
She couldn’t allow herself to leave a bad impression with Yaoyao…
So, Lin Jiayi first ‘greeted’ Lin Jiage’s eighteen generations of ancestors thoroughly before finally tossing over these words, “Forget it, I will let you off this once on Yaoyao’s account, you useless ATM machine!”
After that, she picked up her bags before heading into the residence.
