Chapter 142 Zhou Yujie's First Time Like This..._2

Listening to Zhou Yongming's words, Zhou Yuyan's heart couldn't help but fill with joy and happiness.Today, not only had she won against her cousin for the first time in their ongoing rivalry.

But she had also finally received her father's praise and approval, making him proud of her for once!

This was what she had been pursuing and wanting to achieve since her graduation.

Today, it was finally realized!

All of this, she owed to Wu Wei.

If Wu Wei hadn't asked her to come back today, not only raising her salary but also appointing her as the CEO of the company, who knows how long it would have taken for this moment to arrive.

After struggling in Northern Gold for a year, she knew all too well how difficult it was for a woman to make it on her own without selling her body.

Thinking this, she turned her head to look at Wu Wei, her eyes full of gratitude.

[Zhou Yuyan's Favorability +12]

Seeing the system's message, Wu Wei couldn't help but be startled.

Another 12 points?

Goodness, that's a total of 27 points added this morning!

Now it was 40 points!

The key was, he hadn't even done anything special for her, and her favorability had risen on its own.

40 points of favorability meant she no longer had any male prejudice against him and now saw him as a trustworthy friend.

Advancing another stage would generate romantic feelings between them.

Curious, Wu Wei turned his head to look at her.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Feeling Wu Wei's gaze, Zhou Yuyan smiled and nodded at him, and Wu Wei smiled back in response.

"Yuyan, from now on, do your best in your brother-in-law's company, show your capabilities. Dad believes in you," Zhou Yongming cheerfully patted Zhou Yuyan on the shoulder; "Also, focus on your personal life too, and when the time comes, find a boyfriend like your brother-in-law and bring him home for dad to see!"

Listening to the earlier part of the conversation, Zhou Yuyan was overjoyed.

But when she heard that she should find a boyfriend like Wu Wei, her heart suddenly panicked.

She couldn't help but think about the incident where she was mistaken as Wu Wei's girlfriend and the last time they both watched each other naked.

She immediately lowered her gaze, avoiding eye contact with Wu Wei.

Her eyes were full of shyness, and even her ears turned a bit red.

"Ah, pressuring me to date again,"

Zhou Yuyan hurriedly said, "I'm still young, work is my priority right now, there's no rush on this matter." S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Although she spoke somewhat impatiently, her heart wasn't as resistant as before.

Instead, she unconsciously thought that dating a man like her brother-in-law Wu Wei wouldn't be so bad.

After all, Wu Wei was the only man whom she didn't dislike over the years, and even felt some appreciation and admiration for.

"Let's clean up the table, it's time to eat!"

At this, Liu Ying called from the kitchen, and Zhou Yujie and Zhou Yuyan immediately began cleaning up.

Zhou Yongming then went back to the bedroom to get a bottle of 30-year-old Maotai.

After a dozen dishes were served, the birthday banquet officially started.

People from Qilu have a lot of customs at the dining table, especially a table with alcohol.

But today, with Wu Wei there, the rules were not so strict, and everything was quite warm and casual.

Wu Wei tried drinking a few glasses of Maotai.

Just as he thought, Super Recovery did work on alcohol as well.

After a few glasses, he barely felt anything.

While not exactly invincible to drinking, few could outdrink him.

However, alcohol is no good thing, and even 30-year-old Maotai still tasted terribly to him.

So after a few courtesy drinks to liven things up, he did not continue drinking.

The meal went on until nearly two o'clock.

The atmosphere was lively, and all the guests and hosts were delighted.

Shortly after dinner, the aunt's family said their goodbyes and left.

After all, every second Zhang Bo spent there after the failed matchmaking was torture.

Wu Wei had Zhou Yujie reply with a Taishan Buddha Light to Zhang Bo.

After all, he had brought a gift, and not reciprocating might give rise to talk of the Zhou family taking advantage of others.

The uncle's family stayed a little longer before they too got up to leave.

Wu Wei had originally planned to stay for a while and then head back to Jicheng since there were still plans for the evening.

However, Zhou Yujie's parents desperately wanted them to stay an extra day, until the next day before leaving.

Hearing this, the Zhou sisters were tempted.

After all, it's rare to come home, and the atmosphere in the house was so harmonious and pleasant, so they also wanted to stay another day.

Seeing the two agree, Wu Wei consented as well.

Zhou Yongming had drunk quite a bit that afternoon and went back to his room to sleep after a while.

Wu Wei pulled Zhou Yujie into her room and said, "We're staying at your place tonight, which makes tonight's activities a bit inconvenient."

Zhou Yujie's house was relatively small, and the rooms were very close together.

A little noise at night could probably be heard very clearly.

"Don't worry."

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "Right now, only my parents' and Yuyan's rooms are available for staying. Definitely, you won't be sleeping in Yuyan's room; we'll have Yuyan take Xuanxuan to live at home, and we'll stay in a hotel in the county."

"Oh, then I'm relieved,"

Wu Wei, holding Zhou Yujie close, winked playfully and said, "Let's start by studying some knowledge together. I hear there are quite a few tricks to visiting the back garden!"

...

Around nine in the evening, Wu Wei and the Zhou sisters stepped out into the courtyard.

During dinner, he and Zhou Yujie had accompanied Zhou Yongming for a few drinks.
