Not long after the restaurant manager left, all the dishes were brought in.

Jiang Ling’er took the initiative to pick up some dishes for Li Yu with the sharing utensils.

Li Yu looked at the dishes on his plate and felt pleasantly surprised. He said, “Well done, you’re quite thoughtful. How did your competition go?”

Jiang Ling’er felt a bit frustrated. Normally, one should have said thank you, right? How did it turn into being called “thoughtful,” and why was he asking about her competition? She replied nonchalantly, “It went fine.”

Li Yu swallowed his food and said, “I see, it must have gone really well. You’re guaranteed to be in the top three, right?”

Jiang Ling’er rolled her eyes at Li Yu. She said confidently, “What do you think?”

Li Yu replied with a meaningful tone, “Me? 1 hope you get kicked out of the Jiang family.”

If Jiang Ling’er got kicked out, Li Yu could openly take care of her.

Jiang Ling’er thought,”…” She couldn’t understand what was going on in Li Yu’s mind. What good would it do him if she got kicked out?

Wen Nuan chimed in, “Even if Ling’er were kicked out, it shouldn’t concern you. I can take care of her, and besides, Ling’er is so capable that being in the top three is a minor issue.”

Qiu Yang coughed lightly. He was also a top student, and he was already very satisfied to be able to enter the national competition. However, considering Jiang Ling’er’s track record of always being first, being in the top three this time shouldn’t be a problem either.

Su Qi glanced disdainfully at Qiu Yang but still handed him a glass of water.

“Thank you,” said Qiu Yang awkwardly.

Jiang Ling’er added, “Anyway, let’s focus on eating and less on talking.”

Jiang Ling’er was quite exasperated. They were just having a meal, but it had turned into a drama.

“Ling’er, you didn’t give me any food. What do you want me to eat?” Wen Nuan said coquettishly.

Hearing this, Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but feel helpless. She ended up using the public utensils to pick some dishes for Wen Nuan, and they were all dishes she knew Wen Nuan liked.

Wen Nuan, seeing the dishes on her plate, said playfully, “Ling’er is the best, so considerate. These are all my favorites.”

Li Yu:”…”

Li Yu gave a half-smile as he glanced at Wen Nuan. He was amused by the situation but had no intention of arguing with a young girl.

Seeing that both Qiu Yang and Su Qi were being quite reserved, Jiang Ling’er urged, “You two, don’t be so polite. Eat more. This meal is my uncle’s treat.”

The use of the word “uncle” made Li Yu quite pleased. He remarked, “Such a good girl.”

Inwardly, Jiang Ling’er thought, “Good girl my foot,” but she kept a smile on her face as she continued to serve Li Yu.

Li Yu suddenly looked at Jiang Ling’er and said, “There’s something off about this rhythm.”

Jiang Ling’er felt a bit uneasy but pretended to look puzzled as she gazed at Li Yu.

Li Yu gave her a meaningful look and said, “Do you think you can shut me up by just serving dishes continuously?”

Jiang Ling’er looked away and then replied, “Am I that wicked?”

Li Yu said seriously, “Yes, you are.”

Jiang Ling’er:”…”

Was there anything more to say? Li Yu was indeed smart to figure it out, but did he have to say it so directly?

Li Yu sighed inwardly. They were all around the same age, so why was everyone so reserved?

Li Yu smiled and checked his watch. He said, “Alright, everyone, 1 have something to attend to, so I’ll leave you to enjoy your meal.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With that, Li Yu stood up and approached Jiang Ling’er. He whispered, “1’11 find you later.”

Jiang Ling ‘er was speechless.

Jiang Ling’er hesitated and then said, “Wait a moment, Wen Nuan came all the way here to see me, and we’re planning to go shopping. 1 might not have time today.”

Li Yu furrowed his brows and said seriously, “1 came from far away too.”

Jiang Ling’er sighed inwardly and, seemingly on a whim, said, “Alright, wait a bit, and you can join us for shopping.”

Li Yu’s face lit up with a smile, and he said, “Okay, 1’11 follow your lead.”

With that, he reached out to ruffle Jiang Ling’er’s hair, displaying his affection.

After Li Yu left, Qiu Yang let out a sigh of relief and said, “That was intense. Ling’er, your uncle has such a strong presence.”

Jiang Ling’er laughed and asked, “Oh? Are you an admirer? Maybe you should ask for an autograph.”

Qiu Yang had a wry smile on his face.”…”

Su Qi, on the side, burst into laughter.

Wen Nuan also smiled and said, “Qiu Yang, you should learn from Su Qi. He’s so sensible and doesn’t say much.”

Su Qi smiled and replied, “Thanks for the compliment..”
