Chapter 442 - 448: Tit for Tat (8)
Fortunately, he didn’t think too much about it, and the waiter soon brought out the food—a plate of golden, glistening roast mutton was placed on the table. The waiter skillfully carved the meat slice by slice. That’s when Yu Zexiao remembered he was supposed to show Jian Anning some "consideration". He immediately grabbed the first plate of sliced meat and, without saying another word, put it in front of her, "Eat!"
Jian Anning felt tremendous pressure.
Not to mention the plate full of greasy mutton with that distinctive mutton smell she didn’t particularly like. Moreover, no one else had started eating, but Yu Zexiao had put the first plate of meat in front of her. Just because of this, she couldn’t bring herself to eat it.
Situ Xuan just glanced at Yu Zexiao, then cheerfully scooped up some spices from the side dish and instructed the waiter, "Make a milk tea for this lady."
He further explained, "Drinking some milk tea will help with digestion. It won’t feel as greasy eating the mutton."
Besieged by the "kindness" of the two highest-ranking men in the entire crew, one on each side, she felt immense pressure! It was one thing coming from Yu Zexiao, but why was Situ Xuan picking on her too?
A bold assistant, remembering the flowers Situ Xuan had sent her that morning, started to tease, "Mr. Situ, that’s not fair! We don’t have any milk tea over here, and you haven’t shown any concern for us!"
Situ Xuan didn’t keep his composure. He simply said, "Then please get this lady a milk tea."
The more he spoke with such a distinguished and proud tone, the more it encouraged everyone in the room to tease, "Mr. Situ, we have to ask for your permission before you order milk tea for us. But for Assistant Jian, she can be the first you order for, right?"
