Jian Dan and her group had just left the bridal shop when they saw Chu Liyuan.
âUncle, how come youâre here?â
âWhy call Li Jing and not me?â
âSuch a small matter, why would uncle need to personally intervene?â
âThereâs no such thing as a small matter with your affairs!â Chu Liyuan said with an extremely serious tone, âFrom now on, you must tell me everything! Do you hear me?â He lightly flicked Jian Danâs forehead.
âGot it!â
âMr. Chu, do you have to start flaunting your affection as soon as you appear?â Sizhe complained.
âMind your own business!â
âI canât control it, but canât I even complain a bit when Iâm affected?â
âNo, you canât!â
âYouâre still so stubborn. Only Jian Dan can handle you!â
âIt goes both ways!â Chu Liyuan said while giving Yuanyuan a meaningful look with his eyes.
âI would never act like you!â Sizhe retorted stubbornly.
âAlright then! I will be waiting to see how tough you can be in the future!â Chu Liyuan said with a relaxed expression.
As someone with experience in this area, he was quite confident.
Sizhe was immediately at a loss for words, fearing he might be slapped in the face later on.
âMr. Chu? What brings you here?â a well-dressed woman approached Chu Liyuan and asked.
This woman appeared to be nearly forty years old, her hair was meticulously combed without a hair out of place, and she was wearing a crisp womenâs suit. Her capable aura was evident, clearly showing that she must be a powerful woman.
Sizhe knew this woman: the general manager of this shopping center, a high-ranking figure within Shang Sizhe, and her affection for Chu Liyuan was no secret. Although they didnât get to see each other often, her proud and haughty nature never entertained the thought of giving up, resulting in her still being single.
âIâm here to pick up my wife!â Chu Liyuan said coldly, without even glancing at her.
âMiss Ruan, how do you have time to come here?â Sizhe interjected from the side.
Only then did Ruan Qin notice Sizhe standing next to her. âYoung Master Sizhe, youâre also here?â It wasnât out of the ordinary for her to overlook Sizhe in front of Chu Liyuan.
âYeah! Just noticed?â
âNo, I just happened to come down for inspection and saw Mr. Chu, so I came over to say hello!â In truth, someone had informed her, and thatâs why she had come.
âReally? What a coincidence?â Sizhe said sarcastically.
Jian Dan was no fool; how could she fail to see that this woman had designs on her uncle?
âUncle, Iâm hungry. Can we go eat something?â Jian Dan wrapped her arms around Chu Liyuanâs arm and cooed.
A slight smile played on Chu Liyuanâs lips, knowing that Jian Jian was about to start her performance.
âSure! What do you feel like eating?â He asked while lightly running his finger down Jian Danâs nose.
Joining Jian Jian in her act was his favorite pastime.
âUncle gets to decide!
As long as uncle is with me, Iâll be happy eating anything!â
âI know of a new restaurant nearby thatâs quite good, want to give it a try?â
âYes please!â
âAm I included in this outing as well?â Sizhe chimed in from the side.
He hadnât eaten all day and was indeed getting a bit peckish.
âYes!â Before Chu Liyuan could respond, Jian Dan had already spoken up.
âAppreciate it! Letâs not delay then; letâs get going!â Sizhe said with a smile as he took Yuanyuanâs hand.
âSince everyone who hears is included, does that mean I can also come?â She wasnât going to miss this rare opportunity to see Chu Liyuan. How could she let this chance slip by?
Yuanyuan frowned upon hearing Ruan Qinâs wordsâshe had never encountered a woman with such thick skin.
Just as she was about to speak, Jian Dan beat her to it, âOf course~ you can, letâs all go together!â Jian Danâs unexpected response puzzled Yuanyuan.@@novelbin@@
On the way there, Yuanyuan leaned in and whispered to Jian Dan, âJian, whatâs with you? You canât be oblivious to this womanâs intentions toward your uncle, can you?â
âOf course I can see it, but what does it matter? Uncle isnât interested in her, and since she wants to be tormented so badly, Iâll gladly oblige and give her a good lesson today so she wonât dare aim for uncle again.â
The corners of Jian Danâs mouth lifted into a mischievous smileâ¦
