Chapter 48 Teacher 25

The butler quickly brought dishes up one by one with the servants, and after they were set up, the other servants all left, leaving only the butler still respectfully standing aside, waiting for orders at any time.

Dai Shiyuan glanced around the departing crowd but didn't see the female lead. She blinked her big eyes curiously and asked, "Butler, where's my sister-in-law? Why isn't she coming to dine?"

"No need to worry about her." Before the butler could answer, Dai Wenhao spoke coldly, his tone revealing unhidden disgust, even his handsome face showed a hint of impatience.

Hearing this, Dai Shiyuan was immediately displeased, but she wasn't foolish enough to go against the male lead. She showed a look of grievance and said, "My sister-in-law came back this time to celebrate my birthday with me. Without her, this birthday..."

As she spoke, she intentionally sighed and stopped, looking pitifully at the male lead.

Dai Wenhao naturally understood the meaning behind her words, his brows furrowed, and he looked even more unhappy, half admonishing and half instructing, he said, "Xiaoyuan, eat your meal well, don't mention irrelevant people."

"But..." Dai Shiyuan still wanted to fight for the female lead, but before she could finish speaking, she received a cold warning look.

She quickly shut her mouth, lowered her head, and pretended to look obedient.

The male lead was now blinded by the pig lard, believing that Yao Lu was a good woman but ignoring the official female lead.

It was really unbearable.

If it were her, she would definitely kick the male lead and make him regret it for the rest of his life.

Dai Shiyuan lowered her head and focused on eating dinner, imagining the plot where the female lead would torture the male lead in the future.

The more she thought about it, the more satisfied she felt, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Xiaoyuan, what are you laughing at?" Dai Wenhao asked, looking displeased.

Dai Shiyuan looked up and instantly caught the hint of coldness in the male lead's eyes.

She wasn't afraid in her heart, but in order to maintain her image, she pretended to be startled and quickly explained, "I'm just happy thinking about my brother celebrating my birthday..."

"Wenhao, this isn't the company. Don't be so serious, it'll scare Shiyuan." Yao Lu gently advised from the side, her voice soft and soothing, making people feel very comfortable.

And when she said these words, she had been looking at Dai Shiyuan all along, her eyes full of concern.

Dai Shiyuan met her gaze and immediately smirked, responding with a stiff smile that did not appreciate the gesture of goodwill.

She knew very well that Yao Lu was trying to buy her off with "being a good person", but unfortunately, she was not as foolish as the male lead and would not be swayed by sweet talk.

Yao Lu seemed choked up for a moment, and embarrassment flickered across her face.

She quickly composed herself and looked softly at Dai Wenhao, standing up and saying softly, "President Dai, I shouldn't have come today. I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll leave now..."

As she finished speaking, someone grabbed her hand as she turned around.

"You are my invited guest, who would dare to chase you away?" Dai Wenhao said domineeringly, glancing at Dai Shiyuan with a clear inquiry in his eyes.
