After the server arranged the dishes and left, the red wine beside Xia Yingbai was almost empty.
Her eyes were deep and unreadable, even Gu Ningyue, who had grown up with Xia Yingbai, couldn't quite discern what she was thinking.
"Ding-dong——"
The ring of a phone broke the silence, although it was unclear whose it was.
Xia Yingbai glanced at her phone screen, her emotions more intense: "Sorry, I need to use the restroom. Rui Xian, you and Miss Gu go ahead and eat! No need to wait for me."
The two nodded, watching Xia Yingbai's graceful figure, and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew..."
"It's so difficult..." Gu Ningyue rubbed her brows, "Every time my master looks at me, my heart nearly stops."
After all this time, she still couldn't withstand her master's piercing gaze.
"Indeed!" Lin Ruixian wasn't faring much better: "Looks like our previous plan wasn't foolproof at all!"
