Chapter 63: Outsmarting the Green Tea

It was the weekend, and Ruan Yu and Gu Yan Zhi were enjoying a beautiful time together at home.

In the afternoon, Gu Yan Zhi received a phone call. Ruan Yu was watching TV, occasionally glancing at him as he answered the phone.

The call lasted about a minute. Gu Yan Zhi put out his phone and returned to Ruan Yu’s side. She asked, “Who was it?”

“Xu Jiu.”

Gu Yan Zhi’s voice was faint. Ruan Yu stared at his expression, trying to see something in it, but he was as calm as ever.

She said, “Oh.”

Ruan Yu’s face was clearly unhappy. Gu Yan Zhi reached out to embrace her, but Ruan Yu dodged.

Gu Yan Zhi’s lips curled up, he smiled at her, “Little thing, are you jealous again?”

Ruan Yu snorted and turned her face away, “No.”

Who was she? She was Ruan Yu, how could she admit to being jealous? Even if she died of jealousy, she wouldn’t admit it.

Gu Yan Zhi’s thin lips parted, “She said she’s back in the country, she’s inviting me to dinner tonight.”

What?

Inviting him to dinner.

At this moment, Ruan Yu’s heart was churning, but she couldn’t show it. She pretended to be calm, her gaze fell on the TV, she said nonchalantly, “Then go.”

Ruan Yu had already thought it through, as long as he dared to go tonight, she would also call her friends and go to the bar to find some guys, who’s afraid of who?

It’s not like he’s the only one with a bunch of female fans, she has male fans too, okay?

Gu Yan Zhi didn’t speak for a long time, Ruan Yu turned her head to look at him.

“She’s Uncle Xu’s daughter, and Uncle Xu is my mentor, I can’t refuse.” Gu Yan Zhi observed Ruan Yu’s changing expression, then he continued, “But I’m going to bring my baby with me.”

Ruan Yu’s face, which had been full of gloom, softened a little. The word “baby” coming from his mouth made Ruan Yu feel happy from head to toe.

She played with the TV remote, she said casually, “Then this young lady will reluctantly accompany you.”

After that, Ruan Yu turned her back to Gu Yan Zhi, she covered her mouth and snickered.

Gu Yan Zhi reached out and rubbed her head affectionately.

Xu Jiu knew that the phone number Ruan Yu gave her was fake, she was very angry, later she had to ask her father for Gu Yan Zhi’s work number.

In the evening.

A romantic themed restaurant for couples.

Ruan Yu looked at the restaurant, she clicked her tongue, this was a bit too obvious, she observed Gu Yan Zhi’s expression, his expression darkened a little.

Gu Yan Zhi put his arm around Ruan Yu’s shoulders and walked in, he came to the private room Xu Jiu had booked, he pushed the door open.

The moment Xu Jiu saw Gu Yan Zhi, her expression became joyful, she went forward and directly pushed Ruan Yu aside, she held Gu Yan Zhi’s arm, “Brother Yan Zhi, I’ve missed you so much since we last met.”

Gu Yan Zhi frowned, he pulled his arm away. Xu Jiu awkwardly rubbed her nose, she looked at Ruan Yu, “Sister, you’re here too.”

Xu Jiu still had a joyful expression on her face, but in her heart, she wished Ruan Yu would disappear.

Ruan Yu was not to be outdone, she smiled generously, she went forward and stood side by side with Gu Yan Zhi, “You see, my husband is handsome and rich, if Sister hadn’t followed me, I’d be afraid that some girls would have their eyes on him, if he were to be snatched away, it would be a huge loss.”

Ruan Yu’s words were suggestive, everyone present was smart, they naturally knew who she was referring to.

Xu Jiu froze for a moment, her face didn’t look good, she could only change the subject, “Brother Yan Zhi, Sister, please sit down.”

The waiter served the food, it was a two-person portion, just enough for two people. Xu Jiu looked at Ruan Yu awkwardly, “Sister, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were coming, so I ordered a two-person portion.” She handed the menu to Ruan Yu, “Sister, take a look and see what you want to order.”

Wow, she’s really a green tea.

She’s saying that she’s superfluous, that she’s interrupting their candlelit dinner.

So today, she’s going to outsmart the green tea.

Ruan Yu didn’t take the menu from her hand, she smiled, “No need, I’m not here for the food, I’m here because I’m afraid that someone will covet my husband.”

After that, Ruan Yu smiled at Gu Yan Zhi, seeing Ruan Yu like this, he couldn’t help but smile.

The scent of jealousy filled the entire private room.

Xu Jiu’s hand under the table clenched, she had been outdone by Ruan Yu every time, this woman was really hateful.

Gu Yan Zhi pushed the plate in front of him towards Ruan Yu, “You two eat, I’m not hungry.”

Ruan Yu’s eyes lit up, she smiled innocently, “Then I won’t be polite, I didn’t eat enough at noon, I’m hungry now.”

She glanced at Xu Jiu, she started to eat, her movements were elegant, Gu Yan Zhi’s gaze stayed on the little thing beside him most of the time, he would occasionally pick out her favorite dishes for her.

Ruan Yu ate a lot, she ate very well, but the person sitting opposite her didn’t seem to have much of an appetite, she didn’t eat much throughout the whole meal.

She chuckled and looked at Xu Jiu, “Sister, you ordered the dishes, why don’t they suit your taste?”

Xu Jiu wanted to get angry, but she held back her anger because of Gu Yan Zhi, “I ordered dishes that Brother Yan Zhi likes.”

Ruan Yu glanced at the dishes on the table, “Really? I remember he doesn’t like these dishes.” She looked at Gu Yan Zhi and smiled, “Right?”

Gu Yan Zhi cooperated with her and hummed.

Her nails dug into her palms, she picked up the bottled juice next to her, her lips curled up, she glanced at Gu Yan Zhi.

“Is the bottle cap too tight, do you need your Brother Yan Zhi to help you?” Ruan Yu interrupted her.

Xu Jiu blushed and nodded.

Ruan Yu stood up boldly, “Give it to me, Sister will help you.”

Before Xu Jiu could react, she took the bottled juice from her hand, unscrewed the cap, and put it back in her hand.

The whole series of actions was smooth and effortless.

Xu Jiu gritted her teeth, if it weren’t for Gu Yan Zhi being there, she would have liked to go up and tear this woman to shreds.

Ruan Yu pushed the juice in front of her towards Gu Yan Zhi, she looked weak, “Husband~ I can’t unscrew it, help me.”

Xu Jiu: “…”

Gu Yan Zhi reached out and pinched her cheek, his tone was very doting, “You little fool.”

He unscrewed the juice, poured it into a glass next to it, and put it in Ruan Yu’s hand, “Drink.”

Xu Jiu was fed a mouthful of dog food, she had forgotten what she came here for.

Ruan Yu saw that Xu Jiu’s face was ugly, it was pale and then green, “Oh, Sister’s face doesn’t look good, are you sick? Or did I interrupt Sister’s plans, are you unhappy?”

Xu Jiu glanced at Gu Yan Zhi, she forced a smile, “No, Sister is overthinking, I’m very happy to see you.”

Happy?

Ruan Yu looked at her sarcastically, did she think everyone was blind? She couldn’t tell that she wasn’t happy.

“Brother Yan Zhi is so outstanding, he must have a lot of suitors, why doesn’t Brother Yan Zhi choose someone who’s a good match for him? Is there something special about Sister that attracts him?” Xu Jiu’s words seemed unintentional, but she was actually belittling Ruan Yu.

She’s saying that her status and position aren’t good enough.
