Chapter 472: Meng Xichao sets up a trap

As it was almost time for dinner at the Taoist temple, Meng Xichao came out of the house and knocked on the door of the next room.

Since he is Xiyan's younger brother, he should get along well with him.

You never know when it might be useful.

He had tried it last time on the island.

Xiyan attaches great importance to this adopted brother.

That Zhong Yanyong... doesn't look very smart.

It’s much easier to deal with than Kong Zhian.

Seeing the door being opened from the inside, Meng Xichao said with a smile: "It's time for dinner, let's go together."

It wasn't until he saw clearly who opened the door that Meng Xichao stopped laughing.

"Mr. Meng, we're not close enough to eat together, are we?" Luo Zhenxuan said with a forced smile, "Or do you think that by trying to please Party A, I'll let you off the hook on the project? Haha, I can't do that!"

"Haha." Meng Xichao sneered: "You are really cautious. What's the matter? Are you worried that Xiaoyong and I will get too close?"

"Mr. Meng, you're overthinking it. It's just that the direction of my original room wasn't very good, and I wasn't used to sleeping there, so I asked Xiaoyong to switch rooms with me." Luo Zhenxuan shook his head and sighed softly: "My brother-in-law cares about me too much, there's nothing I can do."

"Brother-in-law? You call him that kindly!" Meng Xichao raised an eyebrow: "As far as I know, you are just Xiyan's boyfriend now!"

"That's what I told Xiaoyong, but he just wouldn't listen. He kept calling me brother-in-law, so affectionately!" Luo Zhenxuan leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest, his tone ostentatious: "Hey, maybe this is fate!"

As soon as Luo Zhenxuan finished speaking, he heard Zhong Yanyong's voice coming from a distance: "Brother-in-law! Let's go! Let's eat!"

"Okay, here we come." Luo Zhenxuan's smile grew even brighter. "Mr. Meng, we won't invite you to join us this time. After all... we're not that familiar with each other."

Luo Zhenxuan walked out, closed the door, and walked around Meng Xichao in one go.

As soon as he passed by and was handed over, Zhong Yanyong asked, "Brother-in-law, who were you talking to just now?" He even said loudly, "No one, just a man."

"Oh." Zhong Yanyong responded without asking any more questions. Instead, he talked about tonight's dinner. He heard from Huizhi that in order to take care of those of them who came up the mountain later, the master chef in the temple specially prepared his specialty dishes tonight.

He was looking forward to it the whole time!

"A man?" Meng Xi, who remained where she was, twitched her lips and hummed softly, "Haha! Luo Zhenxuan... I'll remember you!"

Luo Zhenxuan pissed Meng Xichao off so much that his appetite for dinner improved a lot. He arranged the dish carefully and was about to take a photo when he saw a hand holding chopsticks and picking up a vegetarian meatball from his plate.

Luo Zhenxuan immediately glared at him.

"You are so protective of your food..." Kong Xiyan was glared at by him and silently put the meatball back to its place.

"I'm not protecting the food, I'm taking pictures so I can use them later." Luo Zhenxuan then retracted his gaze. After taking a few pictures, he picked up a vegetarian meatball with chopsticks and fed it to Kong Xiyan's mouth: "Here."

"Thank you for your hard work." Kong Xiyan said as she opened her mouth and took a bite of the vegetarian meatball: "It's delicious, especially the water chestnuts inside, they are crispy and definitely the finishing touch!

What a pity, the number is limited to five per person!"

"Then give me another one." Luo Zhenxuan fed another one to Kong Xiyan.

"Hehe~" Kong Xiyan's eyes turned into crescents and she opened her mouth to eat.

Meng Xichao happened to see this scene as he entered the room and rolled his eyes secretly. What else could Luo Zhenxuan do besides using such a coquettish method to seduce Xiong Jing?

"Brother-in-law~" Zhong Yanyong came over after finishing his vegetarian meatballs: "Well~"

"Go play somewhere else!" Kong Xiyan raised her hand and patted Zhong Yanyong on the forehead: "There are only three of them left!"

"That's because you ate two of them!" Zhong Yanyong was unconvinced.

"I'm not eating it for free." Kong Xiyan snorted. She would naturally get benefits from eating Luo Zhenxuan's meatballs.

"I'm not eating for free!" Zhong Yanyong waved his phone: "We have money."

"He's not short of money, you idiot!" Kong Xiyan glanced at him and patted Luo Zhenxuan's shoulder: "I'm full, you guys eat slowly, come to my room later, I'll show you something fun."

"Okay." Luo Zhenxuan nodded, looking forward to it: "I'll be there soon."

Retracting his gaze, Luo Zhenxuan quickly finished the food on his plate, stood up and said, "Xiaoyong, I'm going to look for your sister first."

"Go ahead~" Zhong Yanyong rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "Love-brained!"

As soon as Luo Zhenxuan left, Meng Xichao sat down opposite Zhong Yanyong: "Xiaoyong? Are you alone? Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Please sit down." Zhong Yanyong said casually.

The dining hall of this Taoist temple is not his. If it were his, he would definitely ask his senior chef to make him a bowl of vegetarian meatballs so that he could enjoy it to his heart's content!

While Zhong Yanyong was thinking this, two vegetarian meatballs appeared on his plate.

"I haven't touched it yet. It's clean." Meng Xi looked at him with a smile: "I feel like it's a taste that you young people will like."

"Hmm? Thank you, Mr. Meng!" Zhong Yanyong chuckled and started eating. "It's not for nothing. I'll transfer the money to you later!"

"Why do you need this? It's just two vegetarian meatballs. You can take whatever you like." Meng Xichao said, "I see you feel close to me, like you're looking at your own brother. So, don't call me Master Meng anymore. It sounds strange. Just call me Brother Meng."

"Okay, thank you Brother Meng." Zhong Yanyong still had a simple smile on his face.

Although Meng Xichao said that he could give them all to him, he couldn't really take them all away. He was already satisfied with just eating two more.

"I see you and Young Master Luo seem to have a pretty good relationship." Meng Xichao looked at Zhong Yanyong and said, "Is he very good to you?"

"It's okay. I'm a very open-minded person." Zhong Yanyong thought for a moment and said, "As long as my sister likes it, it's fine."

"Your sister likes it?" Meng Xichao paused, then looked up at Zhong Yanyong with a subtle look in his eyes: "Does your sister... know what love is?"

How could Kong Xiyan know this?

If she knew what love was, she would never have flirted with a blind man for so many years.

"She's not stupid." Zhong Yanyong thought of the conversation he heard today, and looked at Meng Xichao and said earnestly: "Brother Meng, actually, my sister, although she looks pretty and smart, is not as good as you think!

She hits people, and it hurts!"

"She hit you?" Meng Xichao found it a little funny. Apart from Kong Yizhuo, who else could have such an honor?

"Oh! It hurts!" Zhong Yanyong still remembers the miserable experience of having a swollen butt that made him afraid to sit or lie down for three days.

"Really? Then do you hate her?" Meng Xichao looked at Zhong Yanyong with interest. "After all, she only returned to the Zhong family in the past two years. Before that, you had never met her. After she beat you up like this, didn't you ever think of taking revenge on her?"

"What are you talking about? That's my biological sister!" Zhong Yanyong looked at Meng Xichao with a surprised expression: "You can tell at a glance that I don't have a sister. You don't understand. This fear has nothing to do with time; it's engraved in our DNA!"

"Then do you want to do something to impress her?" Meng Xizhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "I will help you?"

"Hmm?" Zhong Yanyong blinked.

To impress his sister?

What's the matter?

Zhong Yanyong leaned forward, his eyes wide open, an excited expression on his face, and touched the top of his head with his hand: "How about I dye this thing red?"

“???”
