Lin Kong was captivated by the smile on Xuexue’s face, subconsciously reached for the chopsticks, and tasted a bit, genuinely surprised as a burst of meat aroma seeped into his throat. He couldn’t help but praise, "Hmm, these dishes are indeed good, delicious."

Xuexue’s smile became even brighter as she attentively picked up a sea cucumber for Lin Kong, "Young Master Zhao, if it’s good, have some more."

Saying this, she reached out again to scoop a bowl of bird’s nest and placed it in front of him, "Young Master Zhao, the bird’s nest is really tasty, have a taste."

"Oh oh, alright!"

With the beauty in front looking picturesque and treating him with such care, Lin Kong felt overjoyed, forgetting even that he was without money. He ate with his head down, feeling blissful inside, immersed in this gentle realm for a while, not knowing what year it was.

After a while, Xuexue suddenly put down her chopsticks and clutched her stomach with a painful expression, "Oh dear, Young Master Zhao, I’m sorry, please don’t laugh."

Lin Kong hurriedly put down his chopsticks and asked concernedly, "Miss Situ, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xuexue’s little face wrinkled, and she spoke somewhat awkwardly, "No no, I... I just need to use the bathroom urgently."

Lin Kong suddenly realized, understanding the embarrassment a girl would face discussing such a private matter in front of a stranger. He expressed his complete understanding.

Xuexue looked at him and hesitated before speaking, "Then... then... I...!"

Lin Kong waved his hand freely, "It’s fine, you go. I’ll wait here for you to come back."

Xuexue held her stomach, painfully stood up, and slowly walked towards the room’s door. Just two steps before she reached the door, suddenly she heard Lin Kong calling from behind, "Miss, wait a moment."

Xuexue’s heart skipped a beat, thinking maybe he had noticed something unusual.

She tried hard to steady her mind, slowly turned around, her face twisted in pain, and weakly asked, "Young Master Zhao, what is it? Could you wait until I finish using the bathroom to talk? I’m... I’m really uncomfortable, can’t bear it."

Seeing Xuexue’s painful appearance, Lin Kong didn’t feel right asking further, "It’s nothing, I’m just curious why your maid is missing? Didn’t she just come in with you?"

Only then did Qi Kong realize Zi Xia was missing.

Xuexue’s face showed increasing pain, stutteringly said, "Her... oh dear... she... she had something and left first."

Lin Kong compassionately said, "Miss Situ, if you’re uncomfortable, hurry to the bathroom to resolve it! I’ll wait for you here."

"Oh! Alright!"

Xuexue held her stomach, bent over, and walked out of the room with difficulty. After walking a dozen meters, ensuring no one was around, she suddenly stood up straight, and the painful expression on her face disappeared. With light steps, she quickly went downstairs.

Standing at the entrance of the Drunken Sky Building, Zi Xia rushed up upon seeing her.

"Miss, you finally came out! Young Master Zhao didn’t suspect anything, did he?"

"No, he’s still foolishly waiting for me to go back in the private room, let’s hurry and leave!"

"Oh! Alright!"

"By the way, how did the task I asked you to do go?"

"Don’t worry, Miss, the maid has taken care of everything."

"Mm! Let’s go then!"

"Miss, is what we’re doing really okay?"

"What’s the matter? Did you feel empathy?"

"No no, the maid just feels that we have no enmity with Young Master Zhao... it’s not really good for us to treat him this way."

"Who said there’s no enmity? We have a big grudge!"

"Ah? So Young Master Zhao really offended you."

"Otherwise, do you think your Miss Situ is so free, dealing with him without a reason?"

"Then... then he deserves it."

Upon hearing that Lin Kong had offended Miss Situ, Zi Xia dared not speak further, obediently following Miss Situ out of the Drunken Sky Building.
