Chapter 666: Showing Off
Guan Ning praised Guan Tang for bringing the soup out and serving everyone.
Guan Tang only smiled as she served the soup. When it was Ye Cheng’s turn, she lowered her gaze and said respectfully, “Brother-in-law, please have a taste.”
Ye Cheng thanked her.
After that, Guan Tang served a bowl of soup to Yin Jia.
Yin Jia took the bowl and did not thank Guan Tang. She turned to Ye Cheng and said, “You have to try it. It’s our family chef’s specialty.”
Ye Cheng smiled before he drank a spoonful of the soup. Then, he said, filled with praise, “It’s really good. I’ve never tasted such delicious duck soup before.”
Yin Bin and Guan Ning laughed.
Guan Tang walked back to her seat and sat down elegantly. When Ye Cheng’s gaze drifted over, she looked slightly startled, and her face turned slightly red.
The dinner continued. Everything was going very smoothly. It felt as though if Ye Cheng’s parents were here, the wedding date would have been decided upon immediately.
At this point, Yin Bin, who had drunk quite a bit, was slightly tipsy. He held Ye Cheng’s hand and said, “I’ll look for Old Ye to discuss the wedding date as soon as possible. I’ll feel at ease once everything has been decided.”
Ye Cheng said respectfully, “I’ll listen to the elders. With the elders’ help, Yin Jia and I won’t have to worry about anything.”
Then, Ye Cheng reached out to hold Yin Jia’s hand. His gaze was tender and affectionate when he looked at her.
At the same time, Guan Tang watched coldly from the side as many vicious thoughts appeared in her mind.
…
When Guan Tang returned to her house, she kicked her high heels off at the entrance. She untied her hair as she walked into her bedroom. Halfway there, she stopped in her tracks and looked at the long wall in annoyance as though she just remembered something.
Then, she walked into the kitchen and cooked a packet of instant noodles before she brought it into the secret room. She said tonelessly, “I forgot about you. Just eat this.”
Jiahui did not stand on ceremony and accepted the bowl of noodles. After all, she had been starving for an entire day.
Guan Tang turned around to leave, but after thinking about it, she took a seat on the chair near the door.
Jiahui looked at Guan Tang and asked, “Why are you unhappy again?”
Guan Tang leaned back on the chair and did not speak as she stared at the living room outside.
Jiahui shrugged and continued eating the noodles.
After a long while, Guan Tang said, “I want to rob her of her boyfriend. Do you think I’ll succeed?”
Jiahui looked at Guan Tang disapprovingly. “Whose boyfriend do you covet now? Shouldn’t you focus on robbing me of my boyfriend?”
Guan Tang stretched lazily. “Your boyfriend is mine to begin with; there’s no need for me to rob him from you. He’ll return to my side sooner or later. Although I don’t like this man, I really want to snatch him over.”
Jiahui frowned, unable to keep up with Guan Tang’s thoughts. “Why would you snatch him over if you don’t like him?”
Guan Tang rolled her eyes. “It has nothing to do with liking him or not. I just want to see how loyal men are. I also dislike those arrogant women who think their men are faithful and won’t betray them. These women think they’re the best and that their men will forever love them. I want to prove to them that no man is loyal.”
As Guan Tang spoke, a strange smile appeared on her face.
Jiahui nodded. “I understand. You’re testing the men on women’s behalf.”
Guan Tang was very satisfied with Jiahui’s words. She felt like Jiahui was one of the rare people who understood her. “That’s right. I’m actually being kind.”
Jiahui lowered her head to eat before she said, “In fact, no one needs this kind of kindness.”
Guan Tang sneered. “I don’t care. I only used a petty trick early, but he had already noticed me. This means he’s not sincere to Yin Jia. A man will be instinctively protective when he meets a pitiful woman; men want to be heroes saving the damsel in distress. No man can resist this. This includes your Cheng Che. Oops, I mean, my Cheng Che.”
