Prince Zhao was quite displeased that he hadn't gotten to eat the vegetarian food Hua Manman brought back for him that afternoon.
He decided to throw a fit to reassert his position as head of the household.
Yet after fuming in his study for what felt like an eternity, he still hadn't seen Hua Manman come to placate him.
He suspected the woman hadn't even noticed he was angry.
So when Jinxiu came to call him for dinner, he decisively announced that he had no appetite and wouldn't be eating.
'He's being so obvious! There's no way Manman still hasn't noticed he's angry, right?!'
Just as he expected, Manman finally came looking for him.
Li Ji was about to put on the airs of the head of the household and have Manman properly coax him.
But who would have thought that before he could even start, Manman would just run off!
She left without a moment's hesitation.
It nearly drove Li Ji mad with rage.
'This is intolerable!'
He tossed the book aside and strode out after her.
