He Yuzhu always felt that the Chinese food he cooked himself was more delicious, but unfortunately, he hadn't prepared a proper meal for Lou Xiaoe in years. He missed the old days when he would always cook something tasty for her. But those days were likely gone forever; the He Yuzhu of today had status, no longer needing to please others, but instead becoming the one everyone chased after.
Lou Xiaoe knew she couldn't cater to He Yuzhu the way Yu Haitang did. She noticed a lipstick stain on He Yuzhu’s shirt—a provocation from Yu Haitang—but she could only accept it in silence. After all, He Yuzhu hadn't even noticed it. At this moment, He Yuzhu was all smiles, clearly put in a good mood by Yu Haitang, a joy that had carried over into their current trip. Ran Qiuye never got involved in such things, which was exactly why she remained favored by He Yuzhu.
"Speaking of restaurant etiquette, how are you going to deal with the lipstick on your shirt?" Lou Xiaoe hadn't wanted to bring it up, but Yu Haitang’s provocation left her no choice. She tried to downplay the awkward situation, hoping to prevent He Yuzhu from realizing that Yu Haitang had left the mark intentionally.
