After the Wicked Beauty's Awakening

She took gourmet food very seriously and enjoyed it immensely.

When Ya Shitian saw her move, the corner of his mouth lifted into a smile.

"You're not eating?" he asked Ye Rumeng.

"I'm not hungry." Ye Rumeng faced him with her profile, never giving him a direct look.

Ya Shitian's voice had a wicked tone, "What should I do? If you don't eat, then I won't feel like resting."

The implication was clear: if I can't rest, neither can you.

Ye Rumeng knew she couldn't afford to offend him too much, so she reluctantly picked up her chopsticks and ate a few bites without much enthusiasm.

"I ate, is that okay now?"

Ye Anqi was still eating, savoring her food. Against her, Ye Rumeng's actions seemed very perfunctory and disrespectful.

Ya Shitian's eyes darkened, "Miss Ye, are you looking down on me?"

Ye Wenshan, who was nearby, heard this and his face turned pale with fright.

"Rumeng, eat a little more, don't dampen Young Master Ye's spirits," he whispered to her.

Ye Rumeng felt stifled. This was her home, yet why did she have to please a bullying, detestable jerk?

But she understood that if Ya Shitian wanted to do something to her, her father wouldn't stand by her side either.

Seeing Ye Anqi able to bend and stretch, she suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and began to eat slowly with her chopsticks.

At the dining table, the two of them were the only ones eating.

Ye Anqi put down her chopsticks, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, "Young Master Ye, I'm full now, may I go rest?"

Ya Shitian, however, turned to Mo Shisan, "Bring over a bottle of wine."

"Yes, Young Master."

They had their own supply of wine, and Mo Shisan quickly brought over a bottle of brandy.

He opened the bottle and placed it on the table.

The bottle was high-end, clearly very expensive. Ye Anqi, with an eye for detail, saw the alcohol content; it was 40%.

That was not a low percentage; it was quite high...

Ya Shitian personally poured two glasses of wine, then held one up with his slender fingers, "Today I'm in a good mood, who will join me in drinking this glass?"

Ye Rumeng's face turned grim, and she remained motionless.

Ye Anqi understood, Ya Shitian was plainly bored and deliberately playing with them.

"Can we go to rest after drinking?" she asked.

Ya Shitian smiled, "Of course."

"I'll drink with you." Ye Anqi took the glass, made a toasting gesture, then tilted her head and drank it all in one go.

She could handle her liquor, but this body seemed not to, as she felt a slight rejection after drinking it, but she endured.

Putting down the empty glass, a flush spread across Ye Anqi's face, making her look even more enchantingly seductive.

"Young Master Ye, you mustn't go back on your word. I need to go and rest," she said with a faint smile, unaware that her appearance was breathtakingly alluring.

Ya Shitian's gaze darkened, "I keep my word, you may go rest."

Feeling somewhat dizzy, Ye Anqi propped herself up, "Then I'll be leaving, you all have a good chat."

After that, she left with a shaky step.

Ya Shitian watched her leave with a teasing smile.

Ye Rumeng hadn't expected that drinking would indeed allow her to go rest.

She picked up the bottle and poured herself a glass, "Young Master Ye, I'll drink with you."

Ya Shitian obviously understood her thoughts, "Miss Ye, you've missed the opportunity. If you want to drink, then finish the rest."

Ye Rumeng was stunned, "You... You're being unreasonable!"

Ya Shitian wore a look that said he was indeed being unreasonable, "Miss Ye, will you drink or not?"

"You're doing this on purpose, targeting me!"
