Upon hearing An Xiaomian's rejection and seeing her leave coldly, Chen Yao, although saying nothing, clearly looked somewhat displeased.
In truth, he didn't want to invite An Xiaomian to dinner.
But just now, the Old King refused to see anyone except An Xiaomian.
Thus, Chen Yao was worried there might be a change in the matter of succession, so he wanted to invite An Xiaomian to dinner, to probe her, see what the Old King's thoughts were.
However, An Xiaomian actually refused.
She didn't look weak as she appeared on the surface, nor was she intimidated by his princely aura to agree to his request.
Regarding this situation, Chen Yao felt An Xiaomian was drinking a penalty drink instead of a offered drink, completely oblivious to the circumstances.
Isn't she afraid that by refusing him, she is offending him, and when the Old King is gone and he's made the new King, her days will not be good?
