After confirming Jian Danâs thoughts, Xiaoting finally managed to let go of the anxiety that had been weighing on her.
For a moment, Xiaoting felt as if she had become Jian Danâs mother.
After the afternoon classes ended, Ouyang Jing invited Xiaoting and Jian Dan to the rice noodle shop they had visited previously.
They had just ordered their meal when Teacher Zhu and Teacher Zhang entered through the front door.
Seeing the two, Ouyang Jing warmly called them over.
Xiaoting, frustrated with Ouyang Jingâs decision, gave him a hard glare.
This look almost made Ouyang Jing fall off his stool.
The two teachers did not refuse and naturally came over to where Jian Dan and the others were seated.
Just as they were about to sit down, Xiaoting stood up and directly took the seat next to Jian Dan.
The others didnât understand Xiaotingâs intentions, but Jian Dan knew all too well that she intended to eliminate any private interaction between herself and Teacher Zhu.
The seat next to Jian Jian was rightfully his.
Watching this womanâs lack of tact, Chu Liyuanâs brows furrowed deeply, teetering on the edge of an outburst.
Seeing Uncleâs expression, Jian Dan knew he was angry and about to blow up.
âWhat are you standing there for, sit down!â Jian Dan spoke up immediately, giving Uncle a pleading look.
This look from Jian Dan melted Chu Liyuanâs heart instantly, and all his anger vanished.
In consideration of her being a girl, he decided to let her off this time.
But if she dared to take his seat next time, she shouldnât blame him for his reaction.
Chu Liyuan took a seat opposite the two, with Ouyang Jing sitting in the middle.
No sooner had they sat down than Jian Dan enthusiastically started recommending the shopâs rice noodles, âThe rice noodles here are especially delicious, perfect for sharing with someone important to you.â Her words seemed pointed, and she glanced at Uncle out of the corner of her eye.
Jian Danâs sidelong glance met Chu Liyuanâs intense gaze, and her lips slowly curled into a smileâ¦
Her exquisite smile was captivating, inescapable for everyone present.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chu Liyuan watched Jian Dan as if no one else was there, with a gaze filled with deep affection.
This made Zhang Yang feel extremely uncomfortable, as if his own cabbage had been taken by someone else.
(Jian Dan had always belonged to Chu Liyuanâs household, okay? Please donât arbitrarily divide her up!)
Of courseâ¦
The expression on Xiaotingâs face sitting next to Jian Dan was also not pleasant.
So what if you possess an exceptionally beautiful face? As a married man, the way you are casually flirting here is incredibly annoying to Xiaoting!
These things naturally did not escape Chu Liyuanâs attention, but he did not care and continued to act according to his own desires.
âSeems like youâre quite familiar with this place, so why donât you order for me?â Chu Liyuan put the menu back and looked at Jian Dan as he spoke.
âSure! No problem!
Hey boss, weâd like to place an orderâ¦â Jian Dan called out to the proprietor, âTwo servings of chicken rice noodle soup, and what are you guys having? Better decide quickly!â
Since Jian Dan only ordered for Chu Liyuan, this made Zhang Yangâs feelings even more sour.
Especially because the gap between him and Zhu Rimen was more than just a little, not to mention the looks, which already left him far behind.
He was like the key unlocking the dark little box locked up in Zhang Yangâs heart.
Because ever since he arrived, Zhang Yang had been surrounded by overwhelming jealousy that he just couldnât shake off..
