Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Liyue was silent for a moment. She looked at Xiao Shenbin, who was a little embarra.s.sed, and asked, “Young Master Xiao, you asked me what I wanted to eat for lunch?”

Even though he was under a lot of pressure from Feng Shengxuan’s obstruction, Xiao Shenbin decided to go all out to pursue the girl he had fallen in love with at first sight.

He smiled. “Yes, Yue’er. What do you want to eat?”

His ‘Yue’er’ triggered Feng Shengxuan’s strong dissatisfaction again.

Xiao Shenbin… had never called her Yue’er before!!!

He thought he was the only one allowed to call her that!

Just as he was about to stop Xiao Shenbin from calling her that, Bai Liyue smiled and responded.

“I want to have congee for lunch. Do you know of any authentic congee shops around?”

Xiao Shenbin did not reject this first date even though she wanted to drink cheap porridge and was asking him where to get it. Instead, he replied in a very gentlemanly manner, “Of course, I know the capital city very well. Do you like porridge?”

“Yes.” Bai Liyue nodded. “Also, the food for Chinese New Year was a little greasy. I want to remove all the grease I’ve been eating recently.”

“Sure, I know a congee shop. Although the interior doesn’t look too luxurious, their congee is very authentic. I have to get someone to book a seat quickly, as business is great there. If we don’t reserve a place earlier, we won’t be able to eat.”

Bai Liyue was very interested. “Really? You’re making me hungry!”

“Then… shall we go now?”

“Alright!”

Xiao Shenbin stood up, and so did Bai Liyue. However, Feng Shengxuan stood outside. She could not leave.

Feng Shengxuan lazily glanced at Xiao Shenbin, then at Bai Liyue, before standing up and following them.

Arriving at the tea room downstairs, Xiao Shenbin greeted the Huang siblings before leaving with Bai Liyue and Feng Shengxuan.

The car was at the back door of the tearoom, so Feng Shengxuan had not been able to find it.

Bai Liyue was about to get into Xiao Shenbin’s car when Feng Shengxuan tightly grabbed her arm.

“What are you doing?”

“I should be asking you that.”

“I’m going to have porridge with Young Master Xiao. Didn’t you hear me?”

“You sure like Xiao Shenbin a lot. What’s your relations.h.i.+p with him? Any male outsider can tempt you away with just a few words. Bai Liyue, how did you manage to live to this age?”

Bai Liyue could not take it anymore. Strength surged through her as she pulled her arm out of Feng Shengxuan’s grasp. For the first time, she spoke to Feng Shengxuan in a very domineering manner—

“Young Master Xiao and I are friends, so why can’t I ask my friend to treat me to a meal? Why can’t I sit in my friend’s car? Feng Shengxuan, get this straight. Even though I’m your subordinate, we’re only in a symbiotic relations.h.i.+p. I have my own life, and I don’t want to spend all my time hanging around you. If you need me to do something, I’ll try my best to complete it, but other than work, I haven’t sold myself to you. You have no right to be part of my life!”

Feng Shengxuan was stunned by Bai Liyue’s words.

She took advantage of his dazed state to get into the car.

Seeing this, Xiao Shenbin also got into the car and hurriedly drove away.

It was not until the exhaust of the car brushed against Feng Shengxuan’s face that he recovered from his shock.

What did she mean?

Was she trying to escape his control?

Feng Shengxuan quickly drove his car, but Xiao Shenbin had already left.
