Episode 72: Drinking the water she drank
Yu Lora led Nie Shao into the villa, through the long shaded path, and into the living room. The night residence's living room was very large, with well-trained servants going about their duties, coming and going.
Mr. Li stood at the living room door with a kind smile, watching as his own young lady led in a handsome boy, his eyes immediately following them, sizing him up from head to toe before nodding in satisfaction.
"Uncle Li, why are you always staring at people?"
Yu Luo pouted with an unhappy expression.
"Hehe, Miss is still shy?"
Uncle Li laughed so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were curved.
"I remember someone was murmuring in my ear early this morning that her boyfriend is coming today and asked me, Uncle Li, to entertain him well."
"Uncle Li!" Yu Luo's face turned bright red with embarrassment, and she unconsciously glanced at Nie Shao Tang, her big eyes wide with anger staring at the old man in front of her, "You're laughing at me!"
"Hehe, won't you introduce me to Miss?"
Yu Luosong let go of Nie Shaotang's hand and walked over to Li Shu's side, looking at Nie Shaotang with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"This is my... uh, Nete Litang."
Nie Shaotang smiled politely at Uncle Li.
"Hello Uncle Li, I am Yu Luo's boyfriend, Nie Shao Tang."
Just now Yu Luo was too embarrassed to say the title out loud, but he said it as naturally as possible. She was a bit thin-skinned after all, so she hurriedly urged Li Shu into the kitchen to supervise the progress of dinner.
"Alas." Mr. Li sighed with a seemingly sorrowful expression, "Now that the young lady has a boyfriend, she no longer needs an old man like me."
Yu Luo waited anxiously for Li Shu's gaze, and when she turned around, her eyes met Nie Shaotang's smiling eyes.
"Hey, you're making fun of me too."
"How dare I, Little Rain Luo."
Nie Shao Tang reached out and wrapped his arms around her, gently kissing her forehead, but they were surrounded by servants, so she quickly pushed him away.
"Wait for me."
She said something to one of the servants and then turned into the kitchen. Before long, she brought out two cups of peach juice.
"Give."
She handed one of the cups to Nie Shaotang and they sat down on the sofa, but her eyes kept drifting towards the kitchen.
"Xiao Yu Luo, what are you looking at?"
"Ah?" Yu Luo's eyes flickered, "No, nothing."
Nie Shao Tang couldn't help but laugh at this little woman, wondering what on earth she was up to.
The sound of a car engine came, and after a moment, Ye Shou Chen, dressed in a black suit, walked into the living room.
"Brother, you're back?"
Yu Luo flew over like a small bird, took something from Ye Xiuchen's hand and put it away for him.
Nie Shao Tang looked at this scene in surprise. In his impression, the way Yu Luo and Ye Xiuzhen got along was not like this.
Ye Xiu looked at Nie Zhaotang on the sofa, his lips slightly raised, as if he wasn't surprised that he would appear in his own home.
"Mr. Nie has arrived, sorry for not welcoming you from afar."
"Mr. Ye was being polite."
Yu Luoshou walked over with good things.
"Brother, would you like some water? I'll pour a cup for you."
As she spoke, she turned around and was about to enter the kitchen, but in the next second, her arm was caught by someone.
"It's okay, I don't need it."
Ye Xiuzhen provocatively stared at the man on the sofa, then, in front of both of them, her slender fingers picked up the cup of water peach juice that Yu Luo had drunk from, slightly opened her thin lips, and drank it all down.
Xiao Ye's thin lips curled up slightly: "Qianqian, look at the people around me, who doesn't treasure them? You tell me, and I'll let them know the consequences, they'll be responsible for themselves."
"Roger that, Young Master Ye."
