“Have you thought of something?” Wen Ruoshui poured her a glass of warm water.
“No, I didn’t expect it even when I racked my brains.” Nangong Lengyu sighed in defeat and lay on the sofa, not wanting to move.
Dongfang Chu passed her phone to her. “Then think about it slowly. Don’t be anxious.”
When Nangong Lengyu saw the phone, she suddenly perked up and sat up. “Where did you get my phone?”
“Huo Ci has it.” When Dongfang Chu thought of Huo Ci, she was not in a good mood. How could there be such an arrogant person? “You just arrived in China. How did you offend him?”
Nangong Lengyu’s eyes widened as she looked at her in disbelief. Her voice suddenly became louder. “You’re saying that rude bastard is Huo Ci?”
At noon, she flew to China and went to Beijing No. 4 High School to find her useless fiancé. When she was told that he had skipped class, she went to his usual place to stroll around and look for him.
However, when she went to the night market at night, she bumped into an insensible person. She had mistaken him for someone else and apologized. However, that bastard must have grown up eating firecrackers and refused to let her off.
After she escaped, she realized that her phone was missing. She thought she had lost it! She was about to buy a new phone.
“That’s right. The Sixth Master of the Huo Family, the little tyrant of the capital, Huo Ci.” Dongfang Chu let out a cold snort. “He’s condescending, arrogant, and domineering. I’ve really seen what it means to meet him in person.”
The Sixth Master of the Huo Family was indeed worthy of his reputation. He was as ignorant and unruly as the rumors said.
“So he’s Huo Ci.” Nangong Lengyu had not expected to meet the person she had been looking for for half a day in such a manner.
He was still looking for her. He was really petty. He still wanted to take revenge on her and get back at her. Wasn’t it just a kick? Did he have to go that far?
Wen Ruoshui passed the water to her. “How did you meet Huo Ci?”
“I don’t know him.” Nangong Lengyu did not want to admit that she knew that kind of person. It was embarrassing. “I lost my phone. He picked it up, right?”
“He probably didn’t just pick up a phone.” Upon seeing her escape, Dongfang Chu knew that she must have been hiding something from them. It was definitely not that she did not know Huo Ci.
Wen Ruoshui told Nangong Lengyu about Huo Ci’s call and how the two of them had been deceived by him.
“This is the first time I’ve met such a petty man.” Nangong Lengyu was so angry that her lip was trembling. She briefly explained the situation to them.
Tsk, what kind of person was this? He had even deceived Chu Chu and the others over such a small matter.
He better not run into her or she would punish him.
After Wen Ruoshui and Dongfang Chu heard her out, they felt that although she had a misunderstanding with Huo Ci, it was a little strange that she was so angry.
She was not the one who had suffered. Huo Ci had been beaten up badly by her. Even if it was because of the two of them, her attitude was a little overboard.
Wen Ruoshui and Dongfang Chu had initially gone to eat barbecue, but in the end, because of Nangong Lengyu, they did not manage to eat it. They were hungry and cooked dumplings.
Dongfang Chu looked at the dumplings. “Shui Shui, these are handmade dumplings!”
Besides, these dumplings did not look like they had been bought. Many of them looked unfamiliar, as though they had been made by someone making dumplings for the first time.
Wen Ruoshui was mixing the dip and said, “I made it.”
Dongfang Chu asked, “Did you wrap it yourself?”
Wen Ruoshui was not good at lying. Her expression changed slightly and her hand stopped moving.
Dongfang Chu lowered her voice. “You made it with him, right?”
One look and one could tell that the dumplings had been made by the two of them. Some of them looked very skilled and were wrapped beautifully. Some of them were very ugly. They must have been made by newbies. They had big bellies and flat stomachs. Each of them had their own ugly ways.
Shui Shui was good at everything, but she did not have any talent for cooking. Like Yu’er, she was an idiot at cooking. She followed the recipe step by step, and the food she made could not be eaten.
Wen Ruoshui nodded and pointed at the pot. “The water is boiling.”
Dongfang Chu did not ask her anything else. She stole a look at her. There was nothing unusual about her on the surface, but the tips of her ears had turned red.
The two of them had already progressed to making dumplings together. Why didn’t they expose the truth and confirm their relationship? She didn’t know what Yan Yuanfei was thinking.
Anyway, no matter what he was thinking, he could not let Shui Shui confess to him first.
Just as the dumplings were cooked, someone knocked on the door.
Yan Yuanfei’s voice sounded at the door. “Shui Shui, it’s me.”
Nangong Lengyu was lying on the sofa. She did not want to move or open the door, so she shouted, “Shui Shui, someone’s looking for you.”
It was a man, and his voice was not bad. It was a magnetic basso, and his voice was a little hoarse. It was pure enjoyment to the ears.
Wen Ruoshui hurried out of the kitchen to open the door.
Nangong Lengyu shot her a desperate look and asked softly, “Is he your boyfriend?”
Shui Shui had really grown up. She had only been back in the country for three months, but she had already gotten a boyfriend. Other than her boyfriend, there was no other man who would come knocking on her door so late at night.
Yan Yuanfei finally saw the Yu’er they were talking about. He was a very beautiful young man. He was so beautiful that it was hard to tell if he was male or female. He looked especially good when he smiled.
Wen Ruoshui introduced them to each other.
Nangong Lengyu exuded a lazy aura as she greeted him with a smile. “Hi, Mr. Yan.”
Wasn’t Yan Yuanfei the successor of the Yan Family? Wasn’t he Huo Ci’s brother? Wasn’t he Mr. Yan, the chosen one of the current Cabinet Chief? His bearing was indeed extraordinary.
“Hi, Mr. Nangong.” Yan Yuanfei nodded slightly with a warm smile and sat opposite her.
Nangong Lengyu chatted with him casually. She was really tired and did not have the energy to deal with him, but she could not make him feel too awkward.
Upon seeing Yan Yuanfei walk over, Wen Ruoshui added an extra serving of dumplings.
Dongfang Chu felt a little uncomfortable, but when she looked at Yan Yuanfei, she felt that he was quite at ease. He was as relaxed as if he was at his own house. When she was not around, the two of them would definitely be together every day.
After dinner.
Yan Yuanfei looked at Nangong Lengyu and asked, “Nangong, where are you going now? I’ll get my secretary to send you back!”
Nangong Lengyu did not think too much about it and subconsciously said, “I’ll stay here. There’s no need to trouble yourself.”
Yan Yuanfei was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Nangong, although you’re good friends with Shui Shui and the others, this house is small. It’s not appropriate for you to stay here. I’m right next door. Why don’t you come to my house for the night?”
Nangong Lengyu did not manage to swallow a mouthful of water and nearly choked. She was embarrassed. She had forgotten that she was disguised as a man now. It was indeed inappropriate for her to live with two girls.
However, wasn’t it even more inappropriate to stay at his house?
