The butler, who followed Yue Linze and accidentally glanced at the phone, thought: “… This Dr. Tao is truly unique. In his fifty-plus years, this is the first time he’s seen someone so split between their public and private personas. If she weren’t somewhat capable of keeping the master in the rehabilitation room, he would have wanted to ask her to leave the house.”

The butler, seeing Yue Linze remain silent, couldn’t help but say, “Sir, stop looking and have your meal.”
Yue Linze remained unmoved, staring at Tao Yu for a long time until she left the rehabilitation room. Only then did he turn his gaze to the dining table.
The high-end cuisine, reasonable meal combination, and expensive tableware all showcased the exquisite meal, but he lowered his eyes and said, “I’m not hungry.”
“Sir, you didn’t have breakfast. Please have at least something,” the butler urged persistently.
Yue Linze didn’t even look at him. The butler, helpless, pushed the wheelchair towards the room, suggesting softly, “How about I have the kitchen prepare a soup for you to have after your rehabilitation this afternoon?”
Yue Linze’s lack of response was a clear refusal. The butler dared not persuade further and helplessly sent him back to his room. After he lay down to rest, the butler headed to the staff dining area in the back of the house.
By the time he arrived, mealtime had passed, and the dining room was nearly empty. He immediately spotted Tao Yu having her meal, and she also saw him, putting down her chopsticks and smiling, waving at him.
As the butler approached, Tao Yu politely stood up and said when he arrived, “Butler, are you here to dine?”
“If Dr. Tao doesn’t mind, may I sit here?” the butler smiled cordially, as if he had never seen her go crazy in the surveillance video.
“Of course I don’t mind,” Tao Yu said warmly, looking at his crow’s feet. “Please, butler.”
She waited for him to sit before sitting down herself, noticing his empty table and her own table full of food. She sighed inwardly but made no move to eat.
The butler noticed this and initiated conversation: “Dr. Tao certainly has a good appetite.”
