Leaning on the door frame, Zhao Tian stood quietly, his gaze fixed on Li Jia, who was engrossed in a conversation with the maids about the menu for tonight's dinner.
As the maids departed, Li Jia turned to leave, but her steps faltered when she noticed Zhao Tian standing there, watching her.
Their eyes met for a brief moment, but she quickly averted her gaze and attempted to walk past him.
*flick* But Zhao Tian appeared in front of her, grasping her waist and pulling her close to him.
"Ah!' Li Jia gasped in surprise, her hands instinctively landing on his shoulders for balance.
Her eyes narrowed as she glared at him. "Didn't I say not to talk to me?"
Zhao Tian looked into her eyes as "Tell me the reason why you are angry at me." he said softly, his voice laced with concern.
Li Jia pressed her lips together, her glare intensifying. "I said don't talk to me, you bastard."
