"Apologize?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan became even more interested.
But Li Ruo met his scrutinizing gaze and remained silent for a long time before finally saying nothing.
She could never escape the hurdle in her own heart. She had done nothing wrong, nor was she a pet. She didn't want to please Wen Huaiyan like she would her master.
Seeing that Li Ruo hadn't made a move for a long time, fearing that Wen Huaiyan would get angry again, the housekeeper sighed inwardly and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wen, Miss Li has specially made a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish for you. It has been simmering for three whole hours. Please go and try it."
Hearing this, Wen Huaiyan raised an eyebrow, then couldn't help but glance at Li Ruo, his voice cold: "Three hours? You didn't poison me, did you?"
He had initially hoped that Li Ruo would change her mind, but now, looking at her appearance, it was clear that she was not in a position to seek reconciliation.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo, who was initially a little embarrassed, immediately became furious and sneered, "Since you're afraid, then don't eat it."
Anyway, she didn't do it sincerely, and she didn't beg the other person to try it.
As long as she isn't locked in the room, she'll definitely find a way to escape.
Her words were laced with anger; normally, Wen Huaiyan would have immediately turned cold and left in a huff.
This time, however, he not only didn't leave, but instead leisurely sat down at the dining table.
However, instead of picking up his chopsticks to taste the food as the housekeeper had expected, he waved his hand at Li Ruo and said coldly, "Come here."
Li Ruo was somewhat confused, and couldn't help but tense up again.
After all, Wen Huaiyan is always unpredictable. Could it be that my words just now really offended him?
At this moment, even the housekeeper couldn't help but feel worried for Li Ruo. She subconsciously gave Li Ruo a look, signaling her to quickly soften her tone and say some nice things to Wen Huaiyan.
It was already the limit for Ke Liruo to take the initiative to cook; to ask her to back down now would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Seeing that she remained motionless, Wen Huaiyan's face darkened, and he repeated, "I told you to come here."
But what Li Ruo hated most was his commanding tone, so she immediately pouted and asked, "Why should I go over there?"
Her face was tense, and her cheeks were flushed with displeasure. She didn't look as imposing as one might expect, but rather had a touch of cuteness.
Seeing this, Wen Huaiyan's eyes softened: "If you don't come over, how will I know what kind of things you've made for me?"
"Do you want to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but raise an eyebrow provocatively and say, "Didn't you say you were afraid I would poison it? If that's the case, why eat it at all?"
Wen Huaiyan didn't answer, but said in a slightly annoyed tone, "Are you coming or not?"
Seeing that he was really impatient, Li Ruo's heart skipped a beat. Not wanting all her efforts today to be in vain, she gritted her teeth and walked over.
In fact, she didn't know what was wrong with her. She had warned herself repeatedly before that anything was worth it as long as she could get revenge.
But when facing this man, she could never maintain her usual composure.
Knowing full well that he was even more difficult to deal with than Wen Changfeng, if she wanted to protect herself, obediently following orders was the best option.
But the moment she stopped, Li Ruo couldn't help but darken her expression and said in a harsh voice, "What exactly do you want?"
However, the expected difficulties did not occur. As she approached, the man smirked and said in a low voice, "Open your mouth."
Li Ruo was somewhat puzzled and subconsciously frowned: "What are you going to do..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Wen Huaiyan stuffed a mouthful of food into her mouth.
"you……"
The moment the food entered her mouth, Li Ruo's eyes widened in disbelief.
Is this guy insane?
Forcing herself to swallow the food in her mouth, Li Ru frowned and said in exasperation, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Seeing her disheveled appearance, Wen Huaiyan said in a low voice, "There's no other way. For my own safety, I have to let you test the poison first. If there's poison in this dish, I'll poison you to death first."
Completely oblivious to the hidden smile in his eyes, Li Ruo was filled with anger and immediately said resentfully, "Do you think I would use such a stupid method if I really wanted to poison you? I cooked all this food. If you just died like this, wouldn't I be suspected immediately? I'm not that stupid."
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at the man in front of her in an unseemly manner.
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan couldn't help but sneer and mock, "With your intelligence, you really couldn't have come up with such a stupid method."
How come she hadn't noticed how annoying this man was before?
Li Ru stomped her foot angrily and turned away, not wanting to look at him anymore.
Little did she know that, seeing her sulking expression, a hint of gentleness appeared on the man's cold face.
A more lively style suits her better!
Thinking this, he sighed softly, somewhat helplessly: "Alright, you've been busy all morning, aren't you hungry? Why don't we sit down and eat something together?"
