So, she struggled a bit, trying to break free from his embrace: "I’m fine... Sister Minjun and the others also didn’t eat anything. They came in the evening and stayed with me for a long time, only drank a glass of water."
"Oh." Yu Zexiao nodded, finally turning his gaze to Hong Minjun and Nie Anni, and asked quite perfunctorily: "Have you eaten?"
Hong Minjun had always known his personality, to be honest, now Yu Zexiao’s attitude, although perfunctory, was better than before when he completely ignored people, so it depended on what you compared it to. And Nie Anni was a bit surprised, wasn’t Yu Zexiao always so stuck-up? Even he listens to others now!
Hong Minjun just smiled: "No need, no need, Anni and I can go out to settle it anytime, we won’t disturb you guys."
"Join us, it’s a takeaway anyway." Yu Zexiao wasn’t stingy about this, after all, when having the meal separately putting the dishes apart was fine.
He stood up and found his phone dead, without a word he picked up Jian Anning’s phone and made a call to Ling Yichuan.
The phone had just connected, when Ling Yichuan’s signature frivolous tone came through: "Is it the sister-in-law? Calling me for something? Did that rascal Xingxing bully you? No problem, tell your brother Yichuan nicely, brother Yichuan will back you up!"
Although calling her "sister-in-law," it sounded exactly like Ling Yichuan was flirting with a schoolgirl.
Yu Zexiao’s expression immediately darkened: "Ling Yichuan! What are you saying?"
"Oh oh oh! Xingxing, what’s up?" Ling Yichuan instantly became forgetful, "Huh, no wait, why are you using the sister-in-law’s phone to call me?"
"I give you thirty minutes, pack four portions of the clay pot soup we had last time, and deliver it to XXX Hospital, ward 523! Also, several portions of the other dishes. If you’re not on time, I’ll make sure to tell Uncle Ling about your affair with that woman!"
"Damn!" Ling Yichuan couldn’t help but curse, "I’m hosting a banquet! A banquet! Such a high-end event, and you want me to become a delivery boy?"
Yu Zexiao couldn’t care less, he raised his wrist: "You have twenty-nine minutes and forty-five seconds left."
"Hey, be reasonable, okay! Even if I drive to get it, it takes time for them to prepare!"
Yu Zexiao continued to repeat expressionlessly: "Twenty-nine minutes and twenty-two seconds."
"You’re ruthless!" Ling Yichuan slammed the phone down, Yu Zexiao didn’t mind and turned to say: "Dinner is settled."
Jian Anning knew that he and Ling Yichuan, those brothers, always treated each other like frenemies. Words were harsh, but they never hesitated when it came to helping. However, Hong Minjun said: "Zexiao, the person you’re talking about, can’t be the CEO of the Ling Consortium—Ling Yichuan, right?"
Yu Zexiao didn’t deny it, he just turned back: "Could there be another Ling Yichuan?"
Hong Minjun shook her head, said nothing, but thought in her heart, no wonder Yu Zexiao could always be so arrogant. Not to mention anything else, just his group of friends, one by one, are rich and powerful, it was enough for him to walk sideways through the entertainment industry.

However, as they talked, Jian Anning suddenly had a strange expression.
