Bai Ruozhu paused as she picked up some food, a mocking smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. She had seen through Xiaoning's "fainting" the moment it happened.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoning turned out to be really unfortunate— her stomach growled the moment she smelled the food. She probably scared herself to death, right?

Suppressing her laughter, Bai Ruozhu continued to eat without giving anything away. She wanted to see how long Xiaoning could keep up the act.

Bai Ruozhu wiped her mouth and said, "You all continue eating; I'll go out and ask some questions."
