Shen Mingji had been away for many years and had become much more mature and composed than before.
It was a composure that came from his very bones, something that couldn't be faked.
However ferocious he was with the Shen Family, that's how docile he was with the Xue Family.
The man was tall and well-built, and as he sat there quietly, he resembled an obedient wolfhound.
His gaze was serene, devoid of any hostility or defiance. If the Shen Family saw this, they would suspect he was an imposter!
Shen Mingji was an honored guest, so the Xue Family prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain him.
Since it was a small group, they used their usual round dining table to help Shen Mingji feel more at ease.
Whether by intention or coincidence, Xue Xingyao and Shen Mingji were seated next to each other.
The distance between them was neither far nor near.
Xue Xingyao started to feel awkward again, but she didn't let it show.
