Zhao Rong examined the prim woman before him who not long ago had pressed him under her command with music and painting, noting the meticulousness of the movements of her hands.
Her hands were truly white, especially when placed beside the white porcelain teaware.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
But holding the ruler to hit this young master really did hurt.
Thinking of this, the next second, Zhao Rong's hands, which were behind his back, suddenly reached forward, seizing the bamboo ruler two fingers wide from the table.
As Yu Huaijin was pouring tea, her movements halted briefly, then continued without lifting her head.
Zhao Rong, while raising the ruler in front of the prim woman reverently pouring tea, glanced at her intermittently, nodding as if affirming that she was indeed the culprit behind his punishment days ago, wondering if he was thinking about the ruler or Yu Huaijin.
Yu Huaijin slightly narrowed her eyelids.
"Mr. Zhao, please enjoy the tea," she said.
