When Xu Yi saw that the woman leave, he felt both relieved and uncomfortable. He felt relieved because he had no leverage over her, and even if Fu Hange wanted to expose him, she would have no proof. However, he was also miserable because he would be alone again.
Fu Hange looked at him anxiously and said, "Brother, I'm not trying to be mean, but can't you change this habit? Can't you just spend your money properly? Why do you have to find women? Are those women outside reliable?"
Xu Yi wanted to reply that she was more reliable than him, but then he suddenly remembered what she had just called him. He looked up at Fu Hange blankly.
Fu Hange ignored him. Anyway, she would have to call him "brother" sooner or later, since they were bound by blood ties and couldn't run away.
Xu Yi felt ashamed that Fu Hange called him "brother." Sensing the awkwardness, he changed the subject: "By the way, how's that girl at your house doing this time? I remember she kept undermining me that day. If I find her, I'll definitely give her a good scolding."
Liu Yunqi burst into laughter again, and Xu Yi looked at her in confusion.
“She works as my assistant at Xu’s company.” Fu Hange had already sat down, chewing something and speaking indistinctly.
Xu Yi looked utterly shocked, which made Liu Yunqi laugh even more unrestrainedly.
She laughed so hard she almost choked, saying, "Young Master Xu, how uncaring are you about your own company that you don't even know your sister is hiring an assistant?"
Xu Yi looked at her but didn't recognize her at first. Liu Yunqi explained to him, "I'm Fu Hange's best friend, a popular actress. Want me to sign your autograph for free?"
Xu Yi sat down next to her, looked her up and down with disdain, and said, "Actress? More like a background actor? With your manners, even the director would be driven crazy by you."
"You!" Liu Yunqi slammed her hand on the table in anger, her chopsticks falling to the ground.
This time it was Xu Yi's turn to laugh at her: "So rude."
Looking at the two of them, Fu Hange thought, "Indeed, they're about the same, one like a shrew and the other like a brute."
She suddenly interjected, "Don't splatter your saliva into the hot pot. Even if you don't eat it, I still want to."
Realizing their rudeness, the two switched seats.
Liu Yunqi ran to Fu Hange's side and looked at her pitifully, wanting her to help her "get revenge," but Fu Hange ignored her completely and continued eating by herself.
Xu Yi scoffed at Liu Yunqi and started eating as well.
Fu Hange felt something was off as she ate, and glanced at Xu Yi next to her. She hadn't even noticed that he had already sat down and started eating.
"You'll pay the bill later," she said, looking at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was startled and looked at her sharply, his expression extremely dissatisfied: "Why should I? Shouldn't you be inviting your brother?"
Liu Yunqi found his demeanor rather endearing, and realized that only Fu Hange could handle him. For some reason, she blurted out, "Eat whatever you like, it's on me!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "If you said so, then I won't be polite."
After saying that, he threw all the vegetables and meat next to him into the pot, splashing oil all over Fu Hange and Liu Yunqi, and looked at them smugly.
Fu Hange slammed down her chopsticks and said irritably, "Even though you're my brother, you can't bully people like this, can you?"
Xu Yi gave her an indifferent look and continued eating by himself.
Fu Hange found it increasingly difficult to eat as the meal progressed, a sense of unease settling in her heart. Xu Yi, on the other hand, ate heartily and contentedly. Liu Yunqi, meanwhile, ate while keeping an eye on Xu Yi.
After finishing her meal, Fu Hange put down her chopsticks and noticed a strange feeling in Liu Yunqi's gaze. Thinking back, Liu Yunqi hadn't said much today, and most of her conversations had been with Xu Yi. Looking at her eyes again, Fu Hange understood, but continued to pretend to be nonchalant.
