427 Team Meal
Actually, all of this was predestined.
Perhaps this was also one of the fundamental reasons why Yan Bei couldn’t obtain what he wanted, and really let himself fall into the abyss to dance with evil!
The red hotpot on the dining table emitted an alluring fragrance. The fiery, spicy smell that wafted over the private room tempted Wu Mu and Yuan Yang. As soon as the soup began to boil, the two of them started eating quickly.
Su Qing seemed to be very used to these two friends who were like hungry ghosts reincarnated. After taking a slow sip of water, she joined them in their business.
After all, she was eating hotpot with her good friends. If she was more reserved and humble, she would starve!
Huo Qi looked at Su Qing’s busy actions with a smile. After the other party picked up a bowl of meat for him, he smiled helplessly and said, “Alright, darling, I’ve had enough. Eat it yourself. Don’t be in a hurry to take care of me, alright?”
Su Qing turned her head, as though she wanted to confirm Huo Qi’s wishes. Seeing that he was just looking at her with sincere amusement, Su Qing pretended to be serious and reminded him, “Since we’re eating hotpot, we have to eat it in a hotpot atmosphere. Stop being tense. Hurry up and eat!”
As Su Qing spoke, she gestured for Huo Qi to pass her the drink beside him. Naturally, Huo Qi obeyed. After watching Su Qing take a big sip in satisfaction, he smiled. His stomach, which had not eaten all morning, was also enticed by this atmosphere.
With Huo Qi’s participation, the hotpot meal became even more lively.
Yuan Yang looked at the meat slices under his chopsticks. After Huo Qi quickly picked them up with lightning, he pursed his lips slightly, put down his chopsticks, and leaned against the chair. He sighed in satisfaction.
He looked at Huo Qi’s meticulous care for Qingqing and for some reason, he felt a complicated feeling in his heart, as though his daughter was going to be married off.
Young Master Yuan shook his head, wanting to shake off this strange feeling. He smiled and said, “Speaking of which, we haven’t thanked Mr. Huo for treating us! I suggest that we replace wine with water. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Huo.”
When Su Qing and Wu Mu heard this, they looked at him strangely. Wu Mu retorted, “Are you alright, Brother? The meal is almost over. What’s with this act? Did you just react to what’s happening? Or are you just pretending to be polite?”
Yuan Yang: “…”
Su Qing’s mouth was red from the chili. After taking a big sip of her drink, she echoed, “Why are you suddenly so polite? It sounds quite scary.”
Yuan Yang looked at his two good friends and put down the drink bottle in his hand helplessly.
Not only did the two of them not have any tacit understanding with him, but they also took pleasure in scolding him. Yuan Yang sighed softly and continued, “I just want us to be polite. What’s wrong with that? Mr. Huo treated us to a meal. This is supposed to be a thank you!”
Huo Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, but didn’t say anything.
When Wu Mu saw that Yuan Yang, this silly kid, was starting to act foolishly again, she put down her chopsticks and turned to look at Huo Qi. Then, she cleared her throat and turned around. She looked at him and said in a low voice, “Buddy, have you not understood the situation? Qingqing likes Huo Qi. The two of them are a couple now, and they’re engaged! Why are we so polite to a good friend’s boyfriend when he’s treating us to a meal? Besides, what’s our relationship with Qingqing? We’re extremely good friends! Promise me that you won’t say such silly things again, alright?”
Yuan Yang glared at Wu Mu lightly and didn’t dare to be too impudent. He muttered in a low voice, “Do you really think that I don’t know what you’re saying? I’m just…!” Then, he sighed.
Wu Mu glanced at Yuan Yang, who wanted to say something but hesitated. She raised her hand and patted his shoulder gently. She said softly, “Alright, stop arguing. You just finished the meal that he treated you to! It’s easy to eat someone’s food, understand?”
How could Wu Mu not understand Yuan Yang’s thoughts? In fact, she was still trying her best to adapt to the reality of her good friend being “abducted”!
In the past, Su Qing was the coldest and most indifferent person among them. Other than the two of them, she didn���t have any decent friends in her life. However, who would have thought that such a Su Qing would be the first to meet the person she liked?
