Ren Yu opened his mouth. Looking at her smiling eyes and face full of tenderness, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say anything that would disappoint her.
"What is it, Lord Ren Yu? Are you feeling unwell... Do you need Rita to feed you herself?"
"..."
Rita looked around, swiftly sweeping her gaze over the surrounding crowd. Then, a blush suddenly spread across her cheeks.
She glanced at Ren Yu somewhat bashfully.
"If you... if you insist on such a request, then Rita... Rita is willing to serve you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Rita eagerly raised her fair wrist, picked up an exquisite pastry with her chopsticks, and looked at someone with sparkling eyes full of anticipation.
"Come, Lord Ren Yu. Please open your mouth."
It was obvious that all her previous shyness had been an act.
She had long wanted to personally feed Ren Yu, her master.
She simply hadn't been able to find a suitable excuse!
"..."
On the other side, Ren Yu had never expected that without him saying a single word, Rita could push things this far all by herself.
A little terrifying.
Just as Ren Yu remained silent and pondered to himself.
Rita's voice rang out again.
She suddenly put on a different expression, looking dejected. Her delicate hands, which held the chopsticks like soft jade, drooped as she murmured in an utterly disappointed tone, "Lord Ren Yu, do you find Rita too bothersome? Is that why you refuse to speak to her or acknowledge her, treating her like air, as if she doesn't exist?"
"..."
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have disturbed you. Rita understands now. As a maid, I should act like one. I shouldn't take the initiative to cross that line. Even if it was for your sake, it still isn't
