Chapter 48 (2/2)

Weiai laid on the bed and watched as the maids entered the room and arranged the dishes, after which, they lined up at one side. As compared to her family, this was too extravagant. Shen Shaobai was having dinner by himself, did he really need so much food and servants?

Speak of the devil.

Outside the room, the man entered slowly. His large frame made the room appear smaller. As he sat in front of the table, he directed his question towards Weiai. “Were you dressing your wound or were you being murdered just now?”

It was not hard to hear the sarcasm in his voice.

Weiai was still teary and upon hearing this, she glared at him. He talked about it so easily, the injuries weren’t even his!

“Young Master, your hand…”

At that moment, Shi Mei exclaimed. Her eyes were fixated on the scalded portion of his skin on the back of his hand.

Shi Mei immediately ordered the maids to bring the ointment to be applied onto the wound. During that time, she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Weiai. Weiai looked down in guilt. It seemed like the scalding injury had something to do with her.

After she dressed the wounds, Shen Shaobai bent his fingers and motioned for Shi Mei to come close to him and he ordered something by her ears.

Shi Mei was stunned for a while when she heard it and then turned to look at Weiai.

With that look, Weiai felt uneasy suddenly.

Very quickly, just when the maid was scooping a bowl of rice for Shen Shaobai, Shi Mei came in with some newspaper. She first looked at the Young Master, then, she walked towards Weiai and passed her the papers.

Weiai was stunned and confused.

Did he think that she would be bored, so the newspapers were to keep her entertained?

“There is a piece of interesting news on the newspaper, you should take a look at it.”

As if he could sense Weiai’s confusion, Shen Shaobai pressed his thin lips together and said indifferently.

Soon after, he picked up some food elegantly and placed it into his mouth. It was a simple action, yet he did it with such poise.

Weiai wanted to eat too, but she was not able to do so. Under such circumstances, it was natural to guess that Shen Shaobai was having his meal there to spite her.

She looked down angrily at the newspapers to look for the piece of interesting news.

Yet, at once, her gaze was fixated on it.

When she finally had a clear look at the news, Weiai’s face shifted and her hands started to shake.
