He had no right to demand anything of her.
Meng Xi'er threw the milk cup on the ground. The milk splashed everywhere. The glass cup didn't break but rolled to Lu Yebai's feet.
The sound of the glass cup hitting the ground made everyone in the hall quiet. Everyone warily turned their gazes between the two people in the center of the hall. They never thought that Lu Yebai and Meng Xi'er would clash on their first day back.
The past few days of tranquility when Meng Xi'er was around was finally shattered after her failed escape.
Lu Yebai looked down at the milk cup at his feet. He was calm, but his serenity was terrifying.
Meng Xi'er sneered coldly, turned to leave, but Lu Yebai reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back hard. His calm voice contradicted his force, "Get another cup."
He instructed the Butler.
"Yes, yes!"
The Butler hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
"Let me go!"
