“Hi,” Lu Zhi replied softly.

His cold reply didn’t extinguish the joy in Xiao Yeyu’s heart.

She had put in so much effort to please Jiang Yining in order to get close to him.

She was finally a little closer to him, and it was hard to control her emotions.

Xiao Yeyu’s gaze lingered on Lu Zhi for a few seconds before she looked away. “Mr. Lu, Yining, please come in.”

She led the way as she spoke and regained her composure.

“Everyone is here. Yining, Xiaoxi has been waiting for you for almost an hour.”

Jiang Yining nodded slightly.

Not long after, the three of them found Ye Xiaoxi.

She was sitting alone in a corner, eating a plate full of food.

The girls around her flocked together, and no one was paying any attention to her.

Jiang Yining felt a little sad when she saw Ye Xiaoxi like this.

Back then, when she lived with the Gu’s, she was also excluded like this.

Everyone knew that Gu Zhanqing favored Jiang Rou and hated her to the core.

People who sucked up to the rich and powerful usually also looked down on those despised by them.

People around Gu Zhanqing also thought of ways to ignore and humiliate her.

“Xiaoxi,” Jiang Yining walked up and said.

“Yining!” Ye Xiaoxi swallowed the cake in her mouth and praised with a smile, “The food at Yeyu’s house is really delicious. I’ve already eaten a so much. I’ll be at least three pounds heavier when I get home. Come, try some!”

She stabbed her fork into a piece of fruit and placed it by Jiang Yining’s mouth.

Xiao Yeyu reminded her, “Xiaoxi, you’ve used that fork. I’ll get a new one for Yining.”

“Oh? I forgot.”

Ye Xiaoxi did not pay attention to such things.

She was a person who’d shared an ice cream with her friend, let alone a fork.

“I’m sorry…”

Ye Xiaoxi retracted her hand in embarrassment.

However, Jiang Yining took the fork from her and bit the fruit off it without caring. “I don’t mind.”

Xiao Yeyu stopped in her tracks.

After a while, she smiled and said, “We’re all friends. It’s okay to share utensils occasionally.”

Ye Xiaoxi looked at Jiang Yining and smiled happily.

Lu Zhi saw everything.

After a moment of silence, he picked up a knife and a fork from the side, sat down beside Jiang Yining and ate leisurely.

Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi exchanged a few words in a low voice.

Suddenly, a piece of fresh cream cake was put in front of her mouth. On top of it was a golden pineapple with an alluring sweet fragrance.

Without thinking, she opened her mouth and ate it.

She then realized what she had done and looked up.

She saw Lu Zhi take back his spoon and calmly scoop up another piece of cake before putting it into his mouth.

In the next second, he frowned slightly and said, “Too sweet.”

Too sweet, but he still ate it?

Besides, who let him feed her with his used spoon?

Jiang Yining lowered her voice and said, “Lu Zhi, why did you feed me with your spoon just now?”

“Didn’t you say that you didn’t mind?” Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked.

“I didn’t mind using Ye Xiaoxi fork!” Jiang Yining emphasized.

Lu Zhi chuckled and whispered in her ear, “I’m your husband. She’s just your friend. If you don’t mind sharing utensils with her, you naturally won’t mind sharing with me.”

What kind of unreasonable logic was that?

Jiang Yining glared at him and stood up abruptly. She pulled Ye Xiaoxi and said, “Accompany me to the washroom.”

Ye Xiaoxi was dumbfounded.

Xiao Yeyu saw the interaction between Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining. She was jealous and envious.

How could he be so perfect?

He was cold and arrogant to outsiders, but he would smile only at Jiang Yining.

If she became his woman, would he also treat her so well and give her such a doting smile?

Xiao Yeyu slowly scooted up to Lu Zhi.

She thought hard about what to say and opened her mouth, “Mr. Lu, you seem to love Yining very much.”

“Yes.” Lu Zhi’s expression reverted to one of indifference and his body emitted a cold aura that kept people a thousand miles away.

Xiao Yeyu was a little nervous. After a long pause, she said, “Mr. Lu, do you want to know what Yining is like in school?”

Lu Zhi’s expression changed slightly but he didn’t say anything.

After a long time, Xiao Yeyu figured that he was not interested and was about to change the subject when Lu Zhi said, “Tell me.”

Xiao Yeyu was overjoyed, but at the same time, she was deeply envious of Jiang Yining for winning Lu Zhi’s favor.

Suppressing her complicated emotions, she began to talk about Jiang Yining.

Jiang Yining dragged Ye Xiaoxi into the washroom.

Ye Xiaoxi stared at her curiously for a while before she said, “Yining, your face is so red. Are you feeling shy?”

“How can I be shy? It’s because the central air conditioning in the Xiao residence is turned up too high. I feel hot.”

Jiang Yining raised her hand and fanned herself.

“Oh, would you like to go outside to get some fresh air?” Ye Xiaoxi asked.

It was probably even more stuffy in the washroom.

“Yes.” Jiang Yining nodded. “Come with me.”

Ye Xiaoxi was about to agree when her stomach growled and her face turned pale. “Yining, why don’t you go ahead. I guess it’ll be a while before I can join you.”

Ye Xiaoxi regretted eating so much cold food.

Jiang Yining understood what was going on. She took out a sachet of medicine from her bag and said, “Find some hot water later and drink this. Come and find me when you feel better.”

“Okay.” Ye Xiaoxi nodded.

The Xiao residence was neither too big nor too small.

Jiang Yining circled it and was finally attracted by a talking parrot.

“Good evening, Miss. Warm wishes, Miss. Please give me something to eat.”

The parrot stood on a perch and talked non-stop.

Jiang Yining could not help but laugh.

“If you like this talkative parrot, I can give it to you.” An unfamiliar voice sounded behind her.

Jiang Yining immediately stopped smiling and looked behind her warily.

“Hey, beautiful, don’t be so nervous when you see me.”

Xiao Nanchen waved his hand and revealed a charming smile.

Jiang Yining frowned and thought for a while. She remembered that he was

Xiao Yeyu’s brother and they had met once when she came to the Xiao residence.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Xiao Nanchen started his formal introduction, “I am…”

“You are Yeyu’s brother, I know.” Jiang Yining interrupted him.

“You have a good memory.”

Xiao Nanchen took a step forward and cast a long shadow on Jiang Yining’s petite frame. He stood at arm’s length next to the her and teased the parrot, “Myna, sing me a song.”

The parrot started to sing “By the Bridge” in beat. It looked as lively as a human.

Jiang Yining walked forward a little to distance herself from Xiao Nanchen.

“Miss Jiang, do you like it? When the party is over, I’ll send this parrot to your house.” Xiao Nanchen didn’t seem to notice her distance and moved closer to her.

“A true gentleman does not snatch what others love. I can’t accept your generous gift.” Jiang Yining declined.

“If Miss Jiang likes it, I’m happy to give it up. I just want you to be happy.” Xiao Nanchen said ambiguously.

Disgust flashed across Jiang Yining’s eyes.

She hated playboys. Xiao Nanchen knew that she was Lu Zhi’s wife, yet he dared to say such frivolous words.

He must be tired of living!

“Young Master Xiao, you’re so considerate.” Jiang Yining smiled brightly.

Her beautiful posture dazzled Xiao Nanchen.

“But of course.” Xiao Nanchen moved closer to Jiang Yining.

Jiang Yining pretended not to notice it and kept smiling.

“Yining…” Xiao Nanchen thought that Jiang Yining had taken the bait and called her by her name.

When he moved even closer to Jiang Yining, Jiang Yining took out a few shiny silver needles quickly and pointed them at his crotch.

“Young Master Xiao, I don’t think we are that close. Please call me Young Madam Lu. Also, behave yourself in the future, or you won’t even know how you became impotent..”
