Wang Mei couldn't hide her initial reluctance as she was gently ushered back into the room.
Her lips formed a silent protest, but she obediently took her seat in the chair, her toes fidgeting in nervous anticipation.
She couldn't help but wonder what Wang Xiao had in mind this time.
Her gaze remained locked on him as he picked up the bowl of soup and handed it to her.
With a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips, he instructed her, "Drink it."
Wang Mei hesitated for a moment, her surprise evident in her bewildered expression. "But it's for you—"
Wang Xiao interrupted her with a playful tone, raising an eyebrow, "What if you've mixed in poison? Now taste it first."
Her lips pressed together in reluctant compliance, and she cautiously sipped from the spoon, all the while keeping her eyes fixed on Wang Xiao's gaze.
