6 Two Cups of Warm Water

Shi Tao retracted her gaze and crossed her arms in front of her chest,and was seething when she thought about Qin Zhan's expression. Although she was already mentally prepared to have a widowed marriage with Qin Zhan, why did he despise her so much? She was the most beautiful woman in Su City. Was this man blind or was his taste deformed? How could he say such things to his beautiful new wife?

Although everyone was forced to get married, she had not even said a word about it. No matter what, it was not his turn to despise her. After all, she was still able-bodied and could run and jump. If he were to bring her out, he would definitely be praised by others.

Shi Tao looked at the mirror in front of her and tried her best to comfort herself. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had suffered a loss. She should have retorted a few times before lowering her head. If not, with Qin Zhan's panting manner, he would definitely not be able to win against her.

"Cough cough, cough cough."

Shi Tao did not bother when she heard the low voice behind her coughing. Although she should at least offer her condolences, Shi Tao's eyes were calm when she saw him trying to straighten his back. This man, even if he was sick or had died in the end, was very proud and powerful. There was no need for outsiders to pity him. After the coughing stopped for a while, Shi Tao pushed her chair and stood up.

"I'll go out and take a look first." Shi Tao's tone was calm. She did not wait for Qin Zhan to speak before she picked up the wedding gown and went out.

She did not turn back and naturally did not see Qin Zhan's probing gaze. After Shi Tao left the room, she did not go far. She did not come often to this hotel that the Qin family had booked. If she got lost and an accident happened, it would be very troublesome.

"Hey, Miss Shi, why did you come out?" Lilith, the makeup artist, was on the phone at the door. When she saw that Shi Tao was actually looking around outside the lounge, she hurriedly ran to her.

"Sorry, I'm a little hungry, but there's not even water in the lounge, so I came out to see if there's anything to eat."

Lilith immediately heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the reason. She had just received news that this couple was connected by marriage. They did not have any feelings for each other, and both parties were unwilling. She was so scared that she thought the bride was trying to escape.

"Miss Shi, you can just call me Lilith. The wedding is about to begin, so eating is definitely not allowed. Not only is it against the rules, what if something happens to your makeup? Don't you agree?"

Shi Tao nodded. She knew the situation. "Well, Lilith, can you pour me a glass—no, two lukewarm glasses of water? We really haven't eaten since last night, so we're starving." Her intention was not to eat, she just needed a perfect excuse to get warm water.

Lilith hesitated for a while before asking the people around her to bring two cups of warm water over. "Miss Shi, the water will be sent to you soon, but you can only drink a little and you can't just eat when you feel hungry."

Shi Tao nodded, indicating that she understood.

When she saw Shi Tao's obedient look, Lilith nodded in satisfaction. Then, she looked at Young Master Qin, who was releasing cold air in the corner.

"That, that, Young Master Qin, you too. You can only drink warm water later and you c-can't eat."

When faced with Shi Tao, Lilith sincerely and earnestly suggested, but when she faced Qin Zhan, she was trembling as she suggested to him.

When Shi Tao saw how nervous the makeup artist was, her eyes turned into crescent moons.
