Apparently, he was the one who failed to hold it in and chuckled just now…
It was one thing for him to laugh, but he actually wanted to feed her as well…
You must be joking! Would she, Lin Jiage’s little fiancée, need this person to feed her?
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage put down his wine glass and glanced at the young man, who was still speaking excitedly at this point, “Since you’re thinking about it, why not carry it out? I’ll have to trouble you to make this trip then!”
As if he were a robot whose power source had been stolen, the young man abruptly fell silent.
It took a while before the young man was able to speak again, and his voice was clearly not as jovial as before, “Brother Jia, I misspoke…”
“Since you know that you misspoke, here’s an opportunity for you to make up for it.” As Lin Jiage spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine. Just as he was about to raise it up to drink from, he noticed that the young man still hadn’t moved yet. Thus, with his tone laced with a warning, he spoke once more, “Why are you still here?”
Not daring to say another word, the young man immediately got to his feet and rushed towards the door.
But barely after he started walking, Lin Jiage suddenly stopped him, “Wait.”
The young man turned around and saw Lin Jiage walking towards him. His knees trembled in fright as he said, “Brother Jia, I really know my mistake. I’ll buy some meat immediately, lots and lots of meat—”
But before he could finish his sentence, a card appeared before his eyes.
“Swipe this card. There’s no pin number.” There was a brief pause before Lin Jiage added, “It must be from the restaurant in China World Hotel. Hurry back as soon as you can. It won’t taste good once it turns cold.”

After sprinting out of the suite, Shi Yao headed right for the restroom without any hesitation.
But when she reached the entrance, she suddenly felt an urge to use the restroom.
So, she entered a cubicle and sat down, but the phone in her pocket rang at that moment.
Shi Yao took out her phone and took a look. Liang Mumu had sent her a message: [Yaoyao, you’re at Golden Resplendence with Brother Jia?]
Shi Yao typed on the screen and replied: [ Yes. ]
[Why didn’t you call me to join you there? Yaoyao, I always bring you along whenever something interesting is going on or if there’s good food. If I didn’t see you on my cousin’s Moments page, I wouldn’t have known about this at all. 555555 1 .]
Shi Yao felt a little embarrassed by Liang Mumu’s message, so she replied:[Sorry, Mumu. It’s not that I left you out on purpose, but I didn’t even expect to be here myself. Grandpa Lin was the one who made Lin Jiage bring me here…]
Liang Mumu: [Brother Jia agreed to it?]
Shi Yao frowned deeply. For some reason, she felt that there was something weird about Liang Mumu’s sentence, but she couldn’t put her finger on it at this moment.
Soon, Liang Mumu sent another message: [Does that mean you won’t be canceling your engagement anymore?]
Perhaps she was being too sensitive, but it seemed like the focus of Mumu’s message was in the latter half.
Shi Yao began moving her fingers once more: [That’s not it. We’re just postponing it for the time being.]
[I have no idea how Grandpa Lin found out that we were planning to cancel our marriage, but he flew into a rage and fell sick right after. He’s currently in the hospital undergoing treatment, and Auntie Sun told me that Grandpa Lin can’t afford to get angry in his current condition. Considering how well Grandpa Lin treats me, it’s only right to wait after Grandpa Lin recovers before we talk about it…]

[Explanation]: This is simply how gluttons are, I’m not being fake or too intentional about this. I have a friend in real life who flew all the way from Beijing to Hong Kong just because they were suddenly craving for a certain type of noodle there. The pitiful me had to queue with her for two whole hours for it ~cries~
