Chapter 287 A Bowl of Noodles
After getting up in the afternoon, Luo Shu made an appointment with Yu Yu to go to Ye Fou's house together.
Yu Zhan didn't go with them, since he didn't have much interaction with Teacher Hu, but he did send Ye Fou a message as a token gesture.
Ye Fou showed no expression when he saw the message. He didn't want anyone to bother him, but when he heard it was Luo Shu and Yu Yu, he didn't object.
He had originally planned to tell them in a few days, but Wenzhi happened to run into her that very night.
*
Gan Chang'an drove Luo Shu to pick up Yu Yu.
Yu Yu looked radiant. She had originally wanted to dress more brightly so she could go shopping after dinner, but when she thought about going to Ye Fou's place, she changed into a plain-colored outfit.
"You're finally back," Luo Shu complained.
"Please, you're just like your husband, exploiting him like this," Yu Yu complained.
Shen Yan and Yu Yu had just returned and hadn't even had a chance to rest or adjust to the time difference when Yu Zhan called them to go to work.
"You have the nerve to say that? You only care about your own enjoyment. Look at me, I'm almost developing biceps!" Luo Shu stretched out her arm and pinched it.
Yu Yu patted it with disdain, "Nonsense, all you do is nag!"
She took a small gift box out of her bag and handed it to her, saying, "Here, this is for you. You heartless wretch, I finally get a vacation and you still get scolded."
Luo Shu immediately changed her expression, took the gift box from her hands as if it were a precious treasure, and carefully opened it.
It is a small pink diamond pendant.
Wow, how could you bear to buy me a pink diamond?
Yu smiled and said, "I'm bored, so I'll just spend his money to have some fun."
"You're so boring. If Shen Yan knew you gave this to me, wouldn't he make me pay him back tomorrow?"
He was extremely stingy and obsessed with money.
"Just keep it."
Then, she took a gift bag from the side, put it on the passenger seat, and said to Gan Chang'an, "My little Gan Chang'an, this is a gift that your pretty sister bought for you."
Gan Chang'an's face flushed red instantly.
He's not the same Gan Chang'an he used to be; he can't take jokes like that.
"Thank you, Sister Yu."
"It sounds better to call her 'pretty sister'," Yu Yu murmured with a smile.
"..." Gan Chang'an pursed his lips and did not respond.
When Gan Chang'an arrived at Ye Fou's house, Ye Fou was standing in front of the door waiting.
The servants in the villa were all given leave, leaving him all alone in the huge villa, which was empty. And it wasn't just the villa that was empty, but also Ye Fou's heart.
His only remaining relative in the world has passed away.
"You've arrived." Ye Fou forced a smile and looked at Gan Chang'an in the driver's seat.
Gan Chang'an: "Hello, Mr. Ye."
"..." Ye Fou ignored it.
"You haven't eaten all day, have you?" Yu Yuchao frowned.
It's not hard to tell from Ye Fou's condition that he hasn't eaten anything, his lips are pale, he looks listless, his hair is flat, and there are dark circles under his eyes, so he probably hasn't slept much either.
"..." Ye Fou paused, which she noticed. "Come in."
Gan Chang'an parked his car and followed them inside.
The Ye family home was deserted. Only two days after they dismissed their servants, the quiet stone path was already being invaded by fallen leaves.
The three of them went into the living room and chatted there.
Gan Chang'an skillfully went to the kitchen to get him something to eat, so that he wouldn't faint from hunger and have to trouble them.
Luo Shu glanced at the crumpled apple on the table and a bottle of red wine that had been opened but not yet finished.
Ye Fou is not a person who likes to drink.
Gan Chang'an quickly brought over a fruit platter from the kitchen, lazily pushed it in front of Ye Fou, and casually took away another plate of fruit that had been sitting there for who knows how many days.
Ye Fou glanced at him; he seemed quite skilled.
Gan Chang'an only made a bowl of noodles. The three of them chatted in the living room, and the atmosphere was unusually dull.
After preparing the simple noodles, he also prepared some quick-to-cook dishes in the refrigerator before bringing the cooled noodles to the table.
"Mr. Ye, would you like to eat something first?" Gan Chang'an said.
Yu Yu looked at Ye Fou and said, "Have something to eat first. We have to go too. Try to think positively. You can call us if you need anything."
"Okay." Ye Fou paused. "Thank you."
The three left Ye Fou's house.
Ye Fou sat quietly at the dining table, looking at the egg in front of him. The dough was almost mushy before he picked up his chopsticks to eat.
"That bodyguard is pretty good," Ye Fou murmured to himself.
Aside from his mother, it seems no one else has ever made noodles for him separately.
I actually ate noodles cooked by someone else today, and that person was Gan Chang'an.
He couldn't help but smile, and tears welled up in his eyes, mingling with the soup noodles in the bowl.
"Chang'an, you didn't poison it, did you?" Yu Yu asked as soon as he got into the car.
Gan Chang'an would also make noodles separately for Ye Fou, which Yu Yu found curious.
“The master said we can’t do anything illegal.” Gan Chang’an paused and said. “He doesn’t have a mother anymore, and neither do I. The day the master brought me back, he made me a bowl of noodles. I thought that eating the noodles would make Mr. Ye feel better, at least he wouldn’t starve to death.”
The three of them remained silent for a while.
Gan Chang'an is quite considerate of others.
However, disliking Ye Fou is not a matter of personal preference; one must consider the context when expressing dislike.
After a long pause, Gan Chang'an said, "If he faints from hunger, he'll probably have to come looking for you two again."
Luo Shu and Yu Yu couldn't help but laugh.
The car drove up to the gate of Minghua Garden.
They arrived early, but some people arrived even earlier than them.
Leng Xichen arrived early.
Luo Shu and Yu Yu walked inside chatting and laughing, while Gan Chang'an followed leisurely not far behind, his hands in his pockets.
"Mr. Li, please do me the honor! Let me toast you!"
A familiar, humble voice slipped out from under the door of the private room and reached the ears of Luo Shu and Yu Yu, who were passing by.
Then I heard a cold sneer.
Both of them instinctively looked inside.
Yu frowned and said, "Some people, once you miss them, you really have to thank God!"
She sidled up to Luo Shu and laughed, "Come on, say 'I love you,' let me hear your nonsense."
Luo Shu smiled, said nothing, glanced at Qin Heng in the private room, and then looked away.
Just as Qin Heng was about to offer a toast, General Manager Li casually tossed the glass aside, causing it to shatter on the ground with a loud crash.
His smile froze on his face. His gaze slowly shifted from the broken glass on the ground to President Li, but he inadvertently caught sight of Luo Shu passing by outside the door.
He refilled his cup with a self-deprecating laugh, "Mr. Li! Let's talk this out..."
The private rooms were bustling with activity along the way, and Luo Shu and Yu Yu found a pavilion to sit down.
"Let me see where the private room we booked is." Luo Shu opened her phone to check the message Yu Zhan had sent her.
Yu sat down next to her and massaged her shoulders.
A waiter walked by and complained to another waiter holding disposable food containers, "This is the first time I've seen people packing up leftovers like this at Minghuayuan. It's one thing to pack up untouched food, but to have two pieces of meat left after almost eating and still pack them up to take home... there are all kinds of people in the world..."
Yu glanced at them and saw them immediately put on professional smiles and walk into Qin Heng's private room.
Shortly afterward, Qin Heng was seen walking out carrying a small bag of pre-packaged goods.
He straightened his shirt, looked around, and was about to leave when he saw Luo Shu and Yu Yu under the pavilion.
The three people's eyes met, and for a split second, as if they had encountered an unknown stranger, they all silently looked away.
