At this table of four, Long Yubei's arrival didn't disturb anyone in the slightest; everyone continued chatting and eating as usual.
But on Long Yubei's and Shu Ya's side, it was very quiet.
"Should I say hello?" Shu Ya whispered.
"No need." Long Yubei replied indifferently while glancing through the menu.
Shu Ya offered a gentle smile, "The food here is pretty good, a bit spicy."
He didn't respond, only ordered a few dishes then handed her the menu.
Shu Ya ordered two more before passing the menu to the waiter.
Their conversation was primarily work-related. Shu Ya wanted to ask about his personal life but couldn't decide how to start.
When the food arrived, she quietly ate and tentatively asked, "Do you plan on looking for a new partner in the next two years?"
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but Shu Ya was certain that Gu Lili could hear her from behind.
She awaited Long Yubei's response, but he didn't say a word.
Literally, no words at all.
