Chapter 175 Why do you question my sincerity!
Anyway, Third Brother is a complete lazybones... even lazier than me!
Lu Yunjie: "..."
Do you think I'm that kind of person? Why did you have to add those last few sentences when you were just saying what you wanted to say?
Can't I call you because I miss you?
Why are you questioning my sincerity!
When exactly did I ask you to go out and buy something?
Uh... okay, yes, I did ask you to buy a small cake once. But... but it only happened once!
As for what?
Is it really necessary for you to make such a fuss?
"I missed you, that's why." Lu Yunjie said dryly, "When are you coming back? You've been gone for so long, why aren't you back yet? What's a young lady like you doing wandering around outside with a man for so long?"
Lu Yining's expression was somewhat complicated: "Not long? Less than an hour. You weren't drunk, were you? Did you get the time wrong?"
When my mom and I go shopping, it usually takes at least three or four hours. What can you do in just one hour?
"Not long?" Lu Yunjie raised his voice: "It's been a long time! I've never been alone with a girl for this long before!"
Uh... well... you shouldn't spend so much time with a girl, right?
However, it seems that boys won't work either; regardless of gender, Third Sister-in-law will get jealous.
“If you’re not afraid of death, you can too.” Lu Yining said earnestly to the person on the other end of the phone.
Lu Yunjie choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
I'm afraid of dying...
Oops...no, wait, we've gone off-topic! Let's get back on track!
"When are you coming back? There's still plenty of food here. We just added a few dishes, including your favorite sweet and sour eggs and sizzling lamb. If you come back now, there'll still be food for you!"
Towards the end, Lu Yunjie was almost in a coaxing manner.
Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is one that can coax Ningning back!
Wow! Sweet and sour eggs! Sizzling lamb on a hot plate! Slurp~
"Is it delicious? Have you tried it? Is the sweet and sour egg flavorful enough? Is it sour enough?"
I've tried sweet and sour eggs at many restaurants before, but I always felt the flavor wasn't quite right.
[The point of eating sweet and sour eggs is to enjoy that sweet and sour flavor, but when you actually eat them, they're either not sour enough or too sweet, and you can't taste the sourness at all.]
No restaurant's sweet and sour eggs taste as good as the ones my aunt makes at home. Ever since I tried her sweet and sour eggs, my stomach has been completely won over!
Now, when I see sweet and sour eggs on the menu at restaurants, I usually don't order it. I always feel that the sweet and sour eggs made in restaurants just don't taste as good as the ones my housekeeper makes at home.
Lu Yunjie answered Lu Yining's series of questions with ease, because he had indeed tasted those two dishes not long ago.
"I think it's pretty good." Lu Yunjie savored the taste and texture for a moment: "It's quite smooth and tender, and the acidity is also quite good. I think you can try it."
Fearing that Lu Yining might hesitate, Lu Yunjie quickly added after saying that, "I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Lu Yining raised an eyebrow: [Guaranteed to satisfy me?]
"Alright then, since Third Brother said so, let's go back and try it. If it's not good, I'll beat Third Brother to a pulp later!"
"Okay, I'll go back now."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yining turned to Ji Shiyan and said, "My third brother said they ordered a few new dishes, and they all taste pretty good. Shall we try them when we get back?"
“Okay.” Ji Shiyan stood up, looked down at Lu Yining, his gaze full of tenderness: “Then let’s go back.”
A glint of light flashed in Ji Shiyan's eyes. Did he not know what his future third brother was up to? He simply didn't want to give the two of them a chance to be alone.
However, they are not officially dating yet, and it's not good for them to be alone together for too long. If they were accidentally photographed, it would be even worse, as it could have a negative impact on Ningning.
Due to the special circumstances, Ji Shiyan agreed to return.
As soon as the two returned to the private room, they found that the crew members were still drinking and tea-drinking... some even started playing drinking games, enthusiastically competing to see who was better.
The moment Lu Yunjie saw Lu Yining, his heart finally settled. His gaze swept over Ji Shiyan and he glared at him fiercely.
That's incredibly audacious!
Taking Ningning out is one thing, but taking her out for so long is another!
If he hadn't called, would this guy have planned not to bring Ningning back tonight?
Ji Shiyan, who was being glared at, returned an innocent look, as if to say, "I don't understand what you're trying to say..."
"Oh, Ning Shiyan is back? Come and eat, order whatever you want, don't be shy."
Director Liu chuckled as he recounted how, just moments before, while Lu Yunjie was having a long phone conversation with Lu Yining in the corridor, he had coincidentally gone out to fetch something from a staff member. And so… coincidentally, he overheard their conversation.
Tsk tsk tsk, seriously, even from just a few steps away, he could smell the strong scent of jealousy emanating from Lu Yunjie's back...
It's so pungent...
Lu Yining replied "Okay," then returned to her seat, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat.
Ji Shiyan followed behind her, but his eyes kept glancing at Director Liu, and he couldn't help but think to himself: Was this meal paid for by me or you? Order whatever you want? How can you be so arrogant?
Noticing Ji Shiyan's gaze, Director Liu was somewhat puzzled. He ate his chicken while looking up, his eyes full of questions. What's wrong?
Ji Shiyan pursed his lips, giving him no answer. After returning to his seat, he glanced at the dishes on the table one by one, then picked up his chopsticks and first put two pieces of sweet and sour pig's trotters into Lu Yining's bowl, before putting one piece for himself.
Seeing this, Lu Yining did not refuse. After slurping up a mouthful of sweet and sour egg, she picked up a sweet and sour pig's trotter and began to enjoy it heartily, one bite after another.
"Ningning, eat mine, eat mine."
Lu Yunjie stood up abruptly and placed a piece of grilled mutton into Lu Yining's bowl.
"Eating too much pig's trotters can easily lead to weight gain, but mutton won't, and it can also replenish qi and blood. You should eat less pig's trotters and more mutton."
Lu Yining: "..."
What kind of utter nonsense is this?
Lu Yunjie trembled with anger: That's the truth! You're so ignorant!
"I'm not afraid of getting fat." Lu Yining said honestly, "Besides, pig's trotters and mutton are both meat, and eating too much of them will make you fat. The only way to avoid getting fat is to control your diet and exercise more."
"Also, both pig's trotters and mutton are good for your health, but they focus on different things: one nourishes blood and qi, while the other nourishes collagen."
