"Thank you for your kindness, but don't bother me. I usually don't eat at night." The butler politely refused.
"Then... would you like to have some tea in the living room?"
"Okay, thank you."
The housekeeper helped Lu Li lay out the napkin and took the initiative to return to the living room. Ning Xiaofei sat down at the table and pushed the two plates of side dishes towards Lu Li with a smile, "I made it on the spur of the moment. The taste is probably average, so you can only make do with it." "
"It looks good." Lu Li picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth, "Well... it's delicious."
For someone like him who enjoys delicious food all year round, this sentence is just a courtesy without thinking about it. Ning Xiaofei knew it well and did not point it out.
No matter what, she felt grateful and a little embarrassed to Lu Li tonight. After all, she had brought him here so late and he was disabled.
With soft footsteps, Mu Tianye walked into the restaurant.
Ning Xiaofei immediately pushed the noodles in front of him, "Eat quickly, I've already dried this bowl!"
Just sitting here, she kept flipping the bowl of noodles, just to make the noodles cool quickly so that he could eat them immediately.
Mu Tianye raised the corners of his lips, took the noodles, and didn't say anything. He just ate slowly with his head down. After taking a few bites, he stopped again, reached for the pepper bottle on the table with his left hand, and put a little pepper in it. .
On the side, Ning Xiaofei held her chopsticks and did not eat her own noodles. Instead, she helped him put some food into his bowl, keeping her eyes on his face.
From her angle, she could clearly see that one of his cheeks was red, which seemed to be a scratch.
"What's wrong with your face?"
"fine."
With a calm response, Mu Tianye put the pepper shaker back, took the salt shaker, and sprinkled a little salt on it.
On the other side of the table, Lu Li raised his face from the noodle bowl, glanced at Mu Tianye's left hand that was slowly moving over the table and in front of Ning Xiaofei's eyes, and pursed his lips slightly.
Ning Xiaofei frowned.
With a woman's intuition, she sensitively felt that something was wrong with the man in front of her.
Just because Lu Li was there, she didn't say anything else, lowered her face, picked up two noodles, and blew them gently.
At this time, Mu Tianye stretched out his hand again, pulled out a tissue, lifted it up and gently wiped one side of Ning Xiaofei's cheek.
Her eyes naturally followed his palms and noticed his left hand. Ning Xiaofei loosened her chopsticks and the two noodles sandwiched on them slipped into the soup.
“Amano…”
"kindness?!"
Mu Tianye turned to her.
"You..." Ning Xiaofei bit her lip and struggled with her thoughts for a while, and finally lowered her face, "It's okay."
Lu Li glanced sideways at Mu Tianye, with a bit of confusion and a bit of reproach in his eyes.
Feeling his gaze, Mu Tianye did not respond and just continued to ask.
"You can ask whatever you want, Lu Li is not an outsider."
"I..." Ning Xiaofei raised her face, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "I just want to ask, where is your ring?"
She must be overthinking, it must be Gu Yu's trick, or she must have stolen the ring...
In short, there is absolutely no possibility that they are really together, and he will definitely give her a reasonable explanation.
"Ring?" Mu Tianye seemed a little surprised, then raised his left hand and looked at his fingers, "Oh, I probably accidentally left my hands in the office when I was at the company during the day."
"But..." Ning Xiaofei tightened her fingers on the chopsticks, "You still had them in your hands before you left home."
