Thwarted

He Ning went ahead and ordered a few more dishes. Qiao Mei did not speak during this period of time. She knew that He Ning had a habit of waiting for all the dishes to be served before any discussion.

After the waiter placed all the dishes on the table, He Ning pointed at them and said, "Please help yourselves."

Wu Duo and the others remained motionless and did not dare to pick up their chopsticks. Qiao Mei picked up her chopsticks and said, "You guys can go ahead and eat. There's no need to worry about him."

The few of them wolfed down the food without any care for their image. This was the first time they had seen such a sumptuous banquet. He Ning picked up his chopsticks, but then put them back down. He rarely ate food prepared outside and particularly did not eat anything that was already touched by others.
