Qin Mu felt a bit uneasy being stared at by him, but still managed a smile and said, "He's just worried I'll come back too late, not that he's monitoring me having dinner with friends."
"Isn't that basically the same thing?"
Wen Runuan asked.
"Agreed!"
Xiaomei immediately chimed in.
Li Yu smiled faintly as he poured tea for the three ladies.
Xiaomei flashed her starry-eyed expression again, "Let me do it!"
"You're a lady, so it's the gentleman's duty to serve you all."
Li Yu didn't look at her, but his words felt incredibly considerate and gentlemanly—especially to Xiaomei, who was a single, unmarried person.
"Actually, I used to have some misunderstandings about you, but now I think you're genuinely amazing. You're more outstanding than most men: you're hardworking, adaptable, resilient, and most importantly, extremely handsome."
"Please, can we just eat in peace?"
Qin Mu couldn't stand listening any longer.
Li Yu nodded, "I fully agree with your statement."
