189 Eating Hotpot
Rongrong looked at Ming Liuyi and asked, “How old is Sister Liuyi?”
Ming Liuyi smiled and said, “I just turned twenty-three, five years younger than your brother.”
Yao Zizhou looked a little confused at that and said, “Aren’t beautiful nymphs like you always eighteen?”
Ming Liuyi covered her mouth and said, “You’re right. My bad. You caught my slip up!”
With the little Rongrong here, the somewhat dull atmosphere from before was once again lifted.
You Lingling walked out of the kitchen and said, “What are you all doing at the door? Come to the living room, my fiancé is waiting for you.”
Then, she saw the flowers in Yao Zizhou’s hand. She said in surprise, “Wow! This bouquet of flowers is really beautiful! I’ll accept it on Ju Feng’s behalf!”
Ming Liuyi pushed Yao Zizhou into the living room and saw Ju Feng sitting at the table, pouring water for everyone.
He Yanfeng was talking about something when he saw them walking in. He quickly stood up, and Ju Feng immediately greeted them.
When He Yanfeng saw Yao Zizhou, he respectfully said, “President Yao.”
Yao Zizhou nodded.
Ming Liuyi stared at them both for a moment. “Hey,” she said, “this is a casual get-together. Don’t be so business-like.”
Seeing his sister sit beside Yao Zizhou, He Yanfeng furrowed his brows and said, “Be good, Rongrong. Come sit beside me and don’t disturb President Yao.”
Rongrong had no intention of leaving. She said, “No way! I like handsome brothers!”
He Yanfeng was speechless. He looked at Huang Jingting and said, “Head Secretary Huang, please have a seat.”
Ju Feng looked at the crowd and sighed. “Welcome, everyone. Thank you so much for all the help you’ve given me and Lingling. Without you, I don’t know if I would have woken up.”
“Lingling is everyone’s ray of sunshine!” Ming Liuyi said. “As long as Lingling is here, there will be laughter.”
“Liuyi, Lingling told me that you’ve been helping her by making the fruit purée and cookies before. Thank you so much,” said Ju Feng.
Yao Zizhou let out another snort and said, “I’m afraid you’ve eaten more than I have.”
When Ju Feng heard this, he instantly felt a little embarrassed. Ming Liuyi glared at Yao Zizhou for a moment, she then said, “That’s right, because you’re awake, you don’t need liquid food anymore.”
After eating hotpot until 9.00pm, Rongrong was so sleepy that she could not help but doze off.
Lingling picked her up and put her on the bed in the living room. You Lingling said, “The little rascal is finally asleep. We can talk about grown-up matters now.”
They had thought that with Yao Zizhou around, everyone would be more reserved, but they had underestimated Lingling!
You Lingling said, “Your full name is Yao Zizhou! Your surname is Yao! I’m going to look it up!”
After You Lingling checked, she exclaimed, “Heavens! You’re actually the CEO of Yao Corporation! No wonder Liuyi is so rich. Liuyi, you’re the wife of a CEO! I was wondering why you covered his face so that I couldn’t see. Please forgive me!”
You Lingling paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “Yao Zizhou, I’m going to rat her out now. Liuyi didn’t use skincare on you before. It was only when I reminded her that she learned how to use skincare on you. In the end, she was tempted by your handsome appearance and must have secretly kissed you. The photo she sent me showed half your face, and your lips were red—”
Ming Liuyi immediately covered You Lingling’s mouth, saying, “Don’t talk nonsense! I didn’t touch or kiss him!”
Although You Lingling’s mouth was covered, she still continued, “What are you being shy for? It’s legal for a couple to kiss!”
This was so embarrassing! Ming Liuyi wished the ground would swallow her up!
Ming Liuyi’s face turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look up at Yao Zizhou.
Yao Zizhou had a smile on his face as he said, “I know.”
You Lingling was surprised, and said helplessly, “Okay, I’ll take it. This lovey-dovey romance will keep me warm.”
You Lingling seemed to have thought of something and said, “But, Yao Zizhou, you don’t seem to be good in ‘that’ area. I’ve asked Liuyi before, but she said you guys didn’t do anything.”
Ming Liuyi shrieked, “Lingling, quiet!! Whose side are you on?”
Yao Zizhou did not get angry. He simply said, “I’ll be sure to make up for the emptiness you’ve felt before.”
Ming Liuyi glared at Yao Zizhou. She had never expected Yao Zizhou to say such words.
There was no way she could continue eating the hotpot. So, Ming Liuyi stood up and said, “Let’s end this. Lingling at midnight is too scary.”
Yao Zizhou rarely raised his wine glass and saluted You Lingling, and You Lingling gave Yao Zizhou a “not a problem” look, as though it was just a regular day.
