Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Support and Discard Him

Yun Shifei noticed Zhao Haishuang’s smile stiffen for just a moment.

But she pretended not to see it.

She couldn’t show fear or cowardice!

Yun Shifei kept repeating this to herself in her mind.

She didn’t realize that her nervousness had been sensed by Cheng Lie.

The young man glanced at her sideways, noticing her composed face but the unconscious tight fists she was clenching.

To someone unaware, it might seem as though she was preparing to attend a perilous banquet.

He couldn’t suppress a light sneer—so timid, she could barely manage her own life, yet she wanted to protect him?

She had no idea that he didn’t need her protection at all.

Still, he was somewhat curious to see what Yun Shifei planned to do in a moment.

Originally, Zhao Haishuang hadn’t prepared food for one extra person. Now, with Yun Shifei saying she wanted to stay for dinner, Zhao Haishuang had no choice but to instruct the kitchen to prepare two additional dishes.

She silently cursed Yun Shifei for being so clueless.

She had only said it out of politeness, why did Yun Shifei agree to stay for dinner?

Such an oblivious girl.

During dinner, Yun Shifei sat next to Cheng Lie.

Zhao Haishuang warmly encouraged Yun Shifei to eat more.

Yun Shifei politely thanked Zhao Haishuang and then helped Cheng Lie by placing a few pieces of food onto his plate.

Cheng Guomin noticed and couldn’t help but say, "Shifei, you don’t need to help Xiao Lie with his food; he can eat by himself."

Yun Shifei hesitated slightly before replying to Cheng Guomin, "But... Uncle, Cheng Lie’s hand is injured, so it’s not very convenient for him to pick up food."

Upon hearing Yun Shifei’s words, Zhao Haishuang’s brow visibly twitched, and Cheng Huai frowned slightly.

Last night, Cheng Guomin came back late from a drinking event and hadn’t seen the injury on Cheng Lie’s hand.

They had initially decided that if he didn’t notice today, they would simply pretend it hadn’t happened.
