She took deep breaths, feeling everyone watching her, even Lan Xin looking like she was enjoying the show, quickly lowering her head when their eyes met.
“Heh…” Dai Xue gave a light laugh, continuing to walk with her head down.
She forced herself to keep her lips curved, because her pride wouldn’t allow her to cry in front of these people… How embarrassing… Dai Xue.
— But now, she could only laugh!
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
While walking, someone grabbed her wrist… It was Yan Jin, also here for lunch.
“…”
Dai Xue trembled, turning her head, her tightly clenched fist shaking slightly.
“… Dai Xue?”
Yan Jin’s gaze shifted, seeing the meal and soup staining her chest.
Glancing at the mess on the floor, he quickly understood the situation… Combined with Alexis’s “company gossip” today, he easily pieced together what happened.
“… It’s all your fault…”
Dai Xue said softly, and Yan Jin slowly crouched down, seeing her deliberately lowered head hiding her tearful face… Yes, she was going to cry quietly, but seeing Yan Jin… the tears just flowed. How weak.
“…” It was indeed because of yesterday’s events.
Yan Jin’s eyes darkened, gripping Dai Xue’s wrist more firmly, pulling her back to the cafeteria… Passing the mess, he glanced over and continued to the serving area.
“Give me two servings of what Dai Xue just ordered,” he said.
Yan Jin’s face was expressionless, similar to his usual “cold” demeanor, radiating a chilling aura.
“Yes… yes.” The cafeteria lady quickly prepared two full portions, especially generous with the meat dishes. Her face showed an ingratiating smile as she almost ceremoniously handed them over.
“This seems different from the one on the floor,” Yan Jin said, pulling his mouth into a slightly cold smile… more frightening than when he didn’t smile at all.
“Um… boss, I’m… sorry.”
The cafeteria lady weakly lowered her head, internally somewhat disgruntled… With so many people trying to trip up Dai Xue, why was she the one “taken to task”? But outwardly, she respectfully held out the meals, “Please have lunch, boss.
