Chapter 13: Not Aggrieved

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After dinner was ready, the butler waited for the young master downstairs.

But even at ten o’clock, he had not arrived.

He was afraid that the young master’s illness would relapse if he didn’t have his dinner.

With no other choice, he had to muster up his courage to head upstairs.

However, he saw the young master standing outside the door in a daze.

“What’s the matter, Young Master?”

Xue Feimo immediately came to his senses as soon as he heard the butler’s voice.

His expression immediately changed into that usual indifferent expression.

“Go and tell her to come down for dinner too.”

“Oh, alright.” The butler looked at his young master suspiciously but nodded.

Had he seen it wrongly earlier?

His young master seemed to have been smiling…

The butler shook his head to get rid of all those ridiculous thoughts.

He knocked on his young master’s bedroom door.

“Get lost, Xue Feimo!”

An angry voice could be heard from within.

The butler was stunned, and he stiffly turned around.

The elevator door had already gradually shut, and all he saw were the corners of a black shirt.

The butler wailed in his heart. “Young Master, you lied to me again…”

He lowered his head and wiped away his non-existent tears, stuttering, “Miss Luo, would you like to head downstairs for dinner?”

Otherwise, I’m leaving.

The moment the butler spoke, there was silence in the bedroom.

A few seconds later, Luo Tiantian’s sweet and soft voice rang out, “I’ll be right out, Uncle!”

He could feel the sweetness in her voice even through the door.

“Oh, alright,” the butler replied in a hurry.

His mind was even more muddled now.

“Have I been too free lately? Is that why I’m hallucinating?”

The butler shook his head and left.

Xue Feimo had only been in the dining room for a while before plates of exquisite dishes were served.

He reached out to take the hot towel from the servant and cleaned his hands gracefully.

He picked up the glass of red wine and downed in at once, just like how he was used to doing.

Glancing at the table full of food, he pursed his lips.

He zoned out…

He was starving and his stomach was empty.

But he had no appetite even with the table full of dishes.

The butler stepped out of the lift to see the empty red wine glass in his young master’s hand.

“Young Master, have some food. This swordfish from the Yangtze River is…”

The butler went to the extent of exaggerating and praising each and every dish.

Unfortunately, he had wasted his breath as Xue Feimo was having none of it.

He simply picked up the bottle of red wine to fill his glass again.

Between the two of them, one chattering away non-stop, while the other was isolated from the rest of the world.

Neither of them had noticed Luo Tiantian’s arrival.

Until…

“Uncle, it’s not right for you to do that…”

The crisp voice broke the strange atmosphere in the room.

The butler and Xue Feimo simultaneously turned their gazes toward her.

One’s gaze was bright while the other was full of confusion.

“Uncle?” Xue Feimo raised his eyebrow.

The servant immediately stepped forward to pull the chair out for Luo Tiantian to sit down.

She seemed not to have heard Xue Feimo as she continued, “Uncle, I’ve checked on it.”

The most expensive swordfish from the Yangtze River in history had weighed 325g and had been sold for fifty-nine thousand yuan in an auction.

Besides, because they couldn’t be reared, they were on the verge of extinction.

“You won’t lose out at all if you take my one million yuan.”

Luo Tiantian spoke as she carefully removed the fish bones, placing the fish into Xue Feimo’s bowl.

“…” Xue Feimo raised his brow and glanced at the fish in his bowl. He seemed to let out a smile. “Well, you’re not dumb.”

Luo Tiantian stiffened and anger flashed past her eyes, but that soon dissipated.

“Uncle, you should eat more. Let me help you get the bones out.”
