If he gets together with this girl, what will happen to his relationship with Miss Yan?
So, by making such a fuss, isn't she just shooting herself in the foot?
"Young Master Qiao, this is a portrait I painted for you. What do you think?" Zhong Ling took out a scroll and handed it to Qiao Zhishu, biting her lip lightly, her head slightly lowered, her face showing the shyness of a young girl.
Seeing Zhong Ling's appearance, Yang's heart skipped a beat. Look, look, she has definitely taken a fancy to her son. What should she do?
Yang's gaze drifted from Zhong Ling to her own son.
Qiao Zhishu smiled slightly at Zhong Ling, took the scroll, opened it and glanced at it. His eyes seemed to be shining brightly, but Yang's eyes instantly darkened.
It seems this is really going to happen.
If both children are willing, then she has no room to refuse, since she was the one who chose them.
"Miss Zhong, your portrait is so lifelike, it's truly excellent." Qiao Zhishu's assessment was fair; it must be said that Miss Zhong is indeed very skilled in painting.
"If Young Master Qiao likes it, please stay."
Qiao Zhishu felt a little embarrassed. He had accepted the gift, but he hadn't brought a gift to give back to the person. "Next time, I'll bring you a gift too."
Hearing this, Madam Yang couldn't contain herself any longer: "Wait for next time? There's going to be a next time?"
Look, they've already started exchanging tokens of love.
"Here, have some, Miss Zhong. Try this chicken, it's quite delicious," Madam Yang interrupted their conversation, adding a piece of chicken to Zhong Ling's plate.
Outside the hot pot chicken restaurant, Yan Qingxue was wandering around with the young master from Baicheng. It had been a long time since she had come here, and when she suddenly arrived, she was like a wild horse that had been released from its reins.
Seeing that the man had stopped outside the hot pot chicken restaurant and hadn't moved, Yan Qingxue looked up at the signboard. "Oh, this is a hot pot chicken restaurant. It's a way of cooking chicken. Would Young Master Bai like to come in and have a bite?" She wasn't too hungry; she had already eaten too much while accompanying this Young Master Bai on the way here.
She hadn't even finished the fried chicken cutlet she was holding in her hand.
This young master always only eats a little bit of everything, just to taste it. He doesn't eat much, and then almost all of it goes into her stomach. Now her stomach is almost bursting.
"Come on, let's go in and have a look. Since we're here, let's try the food." Bai Naijiong smiled gently at Yan Qingxue and went in first.
Yan Qingxue nodded. She probably wouldn't be able to finish the hot pot chicken, so if there were any leftovers, she would have to take them home.
The two went inside and found a seat near the window. A waiter came up and handed them a bill, which Yan Qingxue took and casually stuffed into the hand of Bai Naijiong across from her.
"Young Master Bai, take a look. You can add other foods to this hot pot chicken. See what you want to add. Ah, it's the same here. We have non-spicy, mildly spicy, medium spicy, spicy, and extra spicy."
Young Master Bai, you can handle even mild spiciness, right? Then let's have the mild spicy hot pot chicken.
Bai Naijiong nodded, ordered a few dishes, and the two chatted while waiting.
"I never expected Jincheng to be so unique. I had only heard about it from some famous families and clans in my Baicheng before, but I had never seen it with my own eyes. Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary."
"If I, Bai Cheng, could be like Jin Cheng, I would definitely stay home day and night." Bai Naijiong said with a smile.
"Young Master Bai is joking. Someone as gentle and refined as you doesn't seem like the kind of person who stays away from home day and night."
If you enjoy staying here, Mr. Bai, you are welcome to come and visit often in the future. As your friend, I will certainly treat you well.
But you'd better take it easy, don't eat me out of house and home. I can't afford to eat all the good food in this Jincheng commercial district every day.
Bai Naijiong chuckled softly.
"It's rare to see a girl as unique as Miss Yan, but it's not the first time I've met one. She does resemble my younger sister, which makes it easy for Naijiong to feel close to her."
Furthermore, Miss Yan is quick-witted and straightforward, and Naijiong genuinely wanted to make friends with her.
Yan Qingxue blinked and grinned upon hearing this, clearly understanding Bai Naijiong's meaning, which was exactly the result she wanted.
That way, she can explain things to her mother when she goes back.
It's not that she doesn't want to get married, it's that people don't think she's good enough for them.
"From now on, we'll be friends. Oh, by the way, we have drinks here. Would you like something? Ice or hot? Or something lukewarm?" Yan Qingxue pointed to a white cabinet leaning against the corner of the wall not far away. Through the glass cabinet door, you could see some drinks inside, as well as room temperature drinks on an ordinary cabinet next to it.
"I don't know much about the food and drinks here. You can drink whatever you like, just make sure it suits Miss Yan's taste."
Yan Qingxue smiled generously and didn't hesitate or refuse.
"Okay, then I've decided. Hot pot should be eaten with lemon water or beer."
However, I think you probably don't like these things. I can roughly imagine what kind of things you would like, someone like Young Master Bai.
"After we finish the hot pot chicken, I'll take you to try some dishes that you'll probably like—no, I should say, I guarantee you'll love them." Yan Qingxue winked at Bai Naijiong, grinned, and walked towards the refrigerator. Out of the corner of her eye, her gaze lingered on a table.
Upon seeing two familiar faces, Yan Qingxue paused, then shifted her gaze to the third person at the table.
Seeing that it was a young woman, Yan Qingxue paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and abandoned her intention to turn around and greet her.
Forget it, I won't bother you. He's spending time with a girl, probably someone Qiao Zhishu is meeting. What would it do for her to go over there at a time like this?
She smiled slightly and turned to walk towards the refrigerator.
Actually, she originally had a good impression of Qiao Zhishu, but Qiao Zhishu didn't like her and couldn't like her, so she didn't want to keep trying to win his favor.
She had initially harbored some feelings for Qiao Zhishu, but after being severely disappointed once or twice, she no longer had the courage to get close to him.
Before she could even catch her breath and muster the courage for the third time, she already had something to do.
She was so busy every day that she really forgot about Qiao Zhishu. Now that she has met him again, she feels very calm.
As for Qiao Zhishu now, all I feel is relief; I no longer have the desire to keep pursuing her.
Yan Qingxue had no intention of disturbing Qiao Zhishu's time with other girls, but unfortunately, Yang Shi spotted Yan Qingxue at a glance.
Yan Qingxue has a striking appearance; she's beautiful and has a great figure, so she easily attracts attention wherever she goes.
Mrs. Yang was a little incredulous. Had she seen wrong?
He rubbed his eyes, then looked closely, and sure enough, it was Miss Yan.
