Li Lingye lowered his head and looked at the wrist watch. Ji Yifeng's test report should be out soon.
He smiled faintly and said, "Let's start the meal."
His voice was neither high nor slow, neither fast nor slow. The few men all looked at each other, none of them could understand Li Lingye's mind.
Was he interested in Bai Xianxian? Or was it interesting?
Gu Jingyu snapped his fingers, and the waiter began to serve the dishes.
He was the manager of the Gu family's clubhouse. The speed at which the dishes were served was naturally as fast as they could be. In just a short while, he had served five or six dishes.
Gu Jingyu gallantly picked up a piece of fish and placed it on the small plate in front of Bai Xianxian, "Sister-in-law, eat more."
Without batting an eyelid, Li Lingye used the chopsticks to lightly push the small plate in front of Su Ke, "Gu Jingyu, you placed it in the wrong place."
The meaning behind his words was that he should be concerned about Su Ke, not Bai Xianxian.
A cold feeling overcame her body. She did not like cold men, she liked men like Gu Jingyu that were made of flesh and blood.
Not wanting to embarrass Gu Jingyu, Su Ke picked up the fish on the plate and ate it.
Gu Jingyu did not expect his flattery to go so far, so he looked at Bai Xianxian.
Bai Xianxian looked at the new plate that was just pushed over in front of her. Inside the plate was the sweet and sour taste that Li Lingye had just put down, it was the kind of sweet and sour taste that she liked.
Her eyes fell on the back of the plate.
However, Li Lingye changed a piece of fish and placed it on her plate, "You can't be picky with food."
Bai Xianxian thought that this phrase was a little familiar. She finally remembered it when she was eating fish, this seemed to be the catchphrase she used to teach Bai Xiaoning. Now it was Li Lingye teaching her.
She blushed a little. She was not used to such occasions, but it was Ji Yichen and Mu Yebai who had been talking and laughing the entire time to reconcile the atmosphere.
Seeing that Gu Jingyu was asking for help for the nth time, Bai Xianxian comfortably ate another piece of sweet and sour pork, and then said to Li Lingye: "Li Lingye, Gu Jingyu was only joking with me about last night, he had already apologized to me today, you …"
As Li Lingye listened to her gentle voice, the look in his eyes became more and more gentle. However, he did not reply, as if he did not hear her.
Gu Jingyu coughed lightly. He was about to be tortured by Li Lingye until he went crazy.
The consequences would be too serious.
"Ling Ye, just let him go." Receiving the low cough, Bai Xianxian could not help but urge Li Lingye.
However, she was afraid that Li Lingye would not agree.
But she was afraid that she had to try, since she had already agreed to Gu Jingyu's request.
When he called out 'Ling Ye', other than Li Lingye, the other three men's bodies were completely covered in chicken skin.
He then looked at Li Lingye in unison and only saw that Li Lingye had carelessly picked up a piece of chicken and was about to feed it to his mouth. Only then did he say in a deep voice, "This is not difficult either, let's take the land south of the city as my betrothal gift to Jing Yu and Miss Su."
If he wanted to plot against him and Bai Xianxian, he would properly repay them.
Telling Gu Jingyu what it meant to lift a rock and smash his own feet.
With a "boom" sound, the cup in Gu Jingyu's hand fell onto the table, and wine even splashed onto his clothes, "Yenge, you must be joking."
"From last night until now, what do you think I should say to joke with you?" Li Lingye casually picked up another piece of the backbone and placed it on Bai Xianxian's small plate. Because Bai Xianxian liked to eat, he had forgotten about that line of "don't be picky about food" and continuously gave it to Bai Xianxian several times.
He realised, if he didn't give Bai Xianxian food to eat, she would only eat for half a day. It seemed that she wasn't used to this kind of occasion.
Gu Jingyu took back the cup that he had dropped just as he thought about it again, and downed the entire cup of XO, "You'll give it back to me when I get engaged?"
"Yes." Li Lingye also raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Bai Xianxian watched the two men drinking as if they were extremely good drinkers, and curiously raised her wine cup as well. However, just as she took a sip, her small face immediately fell.
It tasted awful.
"Sister-in-law, this is the XO that Jing Yu put here for several years." Mu Yebai looked at Bai Xianxian's disdainful eyes and could not help but laugh.
For things like wine, those who liked it would feel that it was delicious. Those who didn't like it would feel that it was super bad to drink it. These words were indeed true.
Hearing that it was "XO", Bai Xianxian's little face reddened again, which was a lot deeper than before, "I … I don't drink. "
"Then we must drink even more. Only then can we get used to it. Come, let me toast to sister-in-law." Ji Yichen especially wanted to see Li Lingye become anxious, so he respectfully raised his wine cup and was about to toast with Bai Xianxian.
Everyone said that they would not hit the smiling person if he extended his hand. With how respectful he was, Bai Xianxian was too embarrassed to not drink.
However, just as she raised her glass, a large hand snatched the goblet from her hands. "Don't try to force yourself if you can't drink it."
Then, under the gaze of the crowd, Li Lingye finished the entire cup of wine that she had just drunk.
Bai Xianxian's face was even redder, and she had a feeling that he had only kissed her after passing through the wine cup.
She had touched that spot, and Li Lingye had also touched it.
She lowered her head, her heart was thumping wildly, thinking back to how his sister-in-law, Li Lingye, had said that he had no objections.
Well, he seemed to have been with her all night.
Five years ago I saw her naked.
If he did not care that Bai Xiaoning was Li Lingxuan's child, they …
The more Bai Xianxian thought, the redder her little face became, to the point where she was dreaming about her and Li Lingye's future.
She had liked him for so many years. If she could marry him and be his woman, then she would be satisfied for the rest of her life.
Gu Jingyu drank two cups in a row, then turned to look at Su Ke. Although his first impression was a little dirty, as long as he wore the clothes he chose and did not speak, he would look like a princess. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll get someone to announce the news of my engagement now.
Su Ke opened her eyes wide, thinking that she had misheard, "Gu Jingyu, you … "You want to be engaged to me?"
Had she picked up a piece of cake that had fallen from the sky today?
Too lucky.
"If you don't want to, I can go back on my word." Gu Jingyu was still puzzled. Yesterday, he tried so hard to probe Li Lingye for Bai Xianxian, but the one who ended up deceiving him was himself.
Su Ke immediately shook her head. After all, Gu Jingyu was only betrothed to her and not married, even if there would be a day that he would cancel her engagement, she would be satisfied.
Just as Gu Jingyu was making a call to get people to send messages, Li Lingye's phone rang.
The caller's note was Ji Yifeng.
