"How could I accept this? These dishes look expensive..."
Before she could finish her words, Ji Yao waved her hand to interrupt.
"Oh, what's our relationship? You saved my life. The gratitude I owe you for saving my life just now can't be repaid with a mere meal, it's not enough. Please, eat, don't be polite with me at all."
With her repeated warm invitations, Liu Yue seemed to finally set aside his unease and began to enjoy the food.
Watching Liu Yue wolf down the meal, Ji Yao thought about the hardships she had mentioned.
Ji Yao couldn't help but feel sympathy, "I didn't know you had such a tragic past, don't your family care about you at all?"
"My family doesn't like me much, they just want me to make money for them to spend, they... they don't really care about me..."
Ji Yao fell silent; the world was full of such parents.
After that, the two stopped talking, and a silence fermented between them.
