Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nie Yin’s probing didn’t succeed. The claim that she wasn’t feeling well gave Kong Rui an excuse to not communicate with them.
Nie Yin couldn’t ask further and hurriedly asked Fu Jiao and Lei Peng to order food before sitting down and thinking about something.
Kong Rui’s gaze was attracted by the people on the street. She looked at those people who were either in a hurry or chatting happily. They gave her a sense of liveliness.
When could she have such a life? Kong Rui thought to herself and couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Suddenly, she felt a gaze cast at her from afar.
That gaze was burning, and it even made the hair on her body stand on end.
She looked around but couldn’t find the source of the gaze.
Kong Rui frowned and looked down the street.
Nie Yin noticed that something was wrong with her and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”

However, that gaze suddenly disappeared, along with the creepy feeling.
For some reason, the disappearance of that gaze made Kong Rui feel disappointed.
She hung her head slightly, looking puzzled and disappointed.
Seeing Kong Rui’s expression, Nie Yin also looked out the window to see what had disturbed her mood.
However, there were people coming and going on the street outside. There was nothing unusual about it.
At this moment, the waiter walked in with the dishes. “VIP guests, these are our signature dishes…”
The waiter actively introduced the dishes to them while sizing Kong Rui up.
He had seen this lady before.
Every time she came to the restaurant, she clung to this man in front of her.
The waiter couldn’t help but feel ashamed for her every time he saw her like that.
Moreover, almost everyone in the restaurant knew that Miss Li had a bad temper. If they accidentally provoked her, they would be scolded and cause trouble for the restaurant.
However, Miss Li was exceptionally quiet today.
Young Master Nie’s attitude towards her was also a little different from usual. Could it be that something had happened between the two of them?
The waiter’s curiosity was instantly ignited. He looked back and forth between Nie Yin and Kong Rui with a gossipy look in his bright eyes.
After greeting the guests outside, the restaurant owner hurriedly rushed to the private room to serve Young Master Nie.
Others might not know, but as the owner of the most famous restaurant in the imperial capital, he naturally knew the big and small matters very well.
Young Master Nie was the future husband of the princess. He was very likely to be the future king of the empire!
They naturally had to curry favor with such a person to prevent others from taking advantage of the opportunity and affecting the restaurant’s future development.
As soon as the restaurant owner entered the private room, he saw the waiter staring at Nie Yin and Li Ling with a smile. He stepped forward angrily and smacked the waiter’s head on the table.

He turned around and saw his boss glaring at him.
The waiter immediately let out a low cry. “I’ll serve the dishes now!” He turned around and was about to run out.
The restaurant owner kicked the waiter’s butt and there was another cry of pain. When he heard the waiter’s rapid footsteps, he finally nodded in satisfaction.
He turned around to face Nie Yin with a smile on his face. “Young Master Nie, young master and young ladies, are you all satisfied with our dishes?”
Nie Yin nodded and said to the boss, “It’s not our first time here. Boss Zhu, you don’t have to be so polite.”
Boss Zhu hurriedly replied with a smile, “Young Master Nie is an esteemed guest of our restaurant, so we naturally can’t neglect you!”
“Please enjoy. If there’s anything you need, I’ll be at the door.” Boss Zhu took a few steps back sensibly and left the private room before gently closing the door.
Nie Yin picked up some food for the distracted Kong Rui and asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to get the Nie family’s doctor to take a look at you?”
Hearing Nie Yin’s concern, Kong Rui felt the hair on her back stand up again.
She quickly waved her hand and said, “No need! The Li family’s doctors are enough.”
Nie Yin tried to please her, but she didn’t appreciate it. He could only lower his head and continue eating.
