Before long, the kitchen sent over the meals, six dishes and one soup, all steaming hot and meticulously served. Shi Yumei spoke indifferently, "Let's eat!" Seeing that Ren Zhixian paid no attention, she ignored him as well and seated herself at the table, ordering Cui Zhu to set the bowls and chopsticks and to serve rice.
Ren Zhixian was fuming, staring daggers.
It was Cui Bao who was quick-witted, her voice cheery with a laugh, "Master, it's New Year's today, you should have a reunion dinner with your wife! Don't let the lady wait too long!" Saying so, she helped Ren Zhixian to his feet without further ado.
Ren Zhixian took the opportunity to dismount from his high horse, sparing Cui Bao an approving glance, thinking to himself that Cui Bao was considerate after all, his pampering of her wasn't wasted! She was certainly much better than Cui Zhu, that blockheaded imbecile!
