Ye Linyan took the menu without looking at it, and directly told the waiter waiting on the side to hand it over!
"Yes, sir!"
The waiter left with the menu. Nan Qing'an picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water for Xu Nuo first, and then poured water for the two people opposite him.
"Mr. Ye really knows how to save me money; there are only four dishes in total!"
Cheng Ying stared at the water glass that Nan Qing'an handed to Xu Nuo, her eyes darting between Xu Nuo and him several times!
"That's enough to eat!"
Ye Linyan looked up and met Nan Qing'an's gaze.
Cheng Ying knew a little about Nan Qing'an and Ye Linyan's company affairs. She happened to run into them today and sat down together, hoping to play matchmaker!
However, the atmosphere just doesn't seem quite right.
"Lin Yan, you don't know this, do you? Qing An and I have been friends since we were kids!"
"Yes, we're family friends!"
Ye Linyan took a sip of water and said calmly.
"That's right! Yingying has called me 'brother' since she was little, but she stopped calling me that now that she's grown up! But I still treat her like my own little sister! If President Ye ever bullies her, I'll be the first to object!"
Ye Linyan didn't reply. Just then, her phone rang, and she excused herself to answer it!
"How's your relationship with President Ye going?"
Seeing that Ye Linyan had left, Nan Qing'an asked Cheng Ying directly, glancing at Xu Nuo from time to time.
"Oh dear! It's not confirmed yet! We've only eaten together twice!" Cheng Ying replied shyly.
"Judging from your expression, you've really taken a liking to Ye Linyan!"
Nan Qing'an uttered a question, but used an affirmative tone.
"Don't talk about me! It's been almost half a year since we last saw each other, hasn't it? In all these years, I've never seen you go out to eat alone with any friends!"
He gave Xu Nuo a meaningful look as he spoke!
Xu Nuo returned a smile, but saw that Nan Qing'an was looking down at his phone and didn't seem to be responding to Cheng Ying's words.
Not wanting the atmosphere to become awkward, he said:
"Ms. Cheng, this is the first time Mr. Nan and I have been dining out together! What a coincidence!"
"Don't call me that anymore! You look to be around twenty years old, just call me Sister Ying! Have you graduated from university yet?"
Just then, Ye Linyan returned.
Xu Nuo glanced at the man, then looked up and smiled, "Twenty-three! I never went to university! I'm the kind of person who hasn't had much formal education!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyan's eyes flickered.
"You're already twenty-three, four years younger than me, but you don't look it. If you said you were a high school student, people would probably believe you!"
On their first meeting, Cheng Ying naturally didn't press him about why he didn't go to university, and immediately changed the subject!
“Some people have said that before, so I even changed my hairstyle. My previous hairstyle made me look younger!”
Xu Nuo is very good at chatting and has a smiling face, especially when he smiles and shows his little tiger teeth, it is easy for people to feel close to him!
During the conversation, all four dishes had been served!
During the meal, Cheng Ying and Xu Nuo chatted back and forth, while Ye Linyan barely said a word.
Nan Qing'an, however, would occasionally chime in with a few words.
"Oh right! We don't think we ordered any bar food!"
Cheng Ying was about to call the waiter.
Ye Linyan was looking at the table full of spicy dishes, unsure of where to start. The only dish that looked alright was the twice-cooked pork, unlike the other three, which were all bright red!
Seeing Xu Nuo and Nan Qing'an sitting together made him even more unhappy, and his expression naturally turned sour.
"I'm driving!"
Cheng Ying turned her gaze to Nan Qing'an.
Nan Qing'an immediately put on a helpless expression: "I drove too! The driver took the day off! But Nuonuo can have a drink with you, and I'll take him home later!"
Upon hearing Nan Qing'an's address to Xu Nuo, Ye Linyan paused in her hand, which was about to pick up some food, and looked at Nan Qing'an with unfriendly eyes.
"I recently caught a cold and am taking medicine. The doctor said I can't drink alcohol. I'll have a drink with Miss Cheng another time when I have the chance!"
"Oh well!"
Xu Nuo didn't look up. Actually, he wasn't used to this form of address either, but he didn't want to explain now! In the past, whether he saw Ye Linyan with a girl in a magazine or online, Xu Nuo would be unhappy, but it was just a simple unhappiness.
But today, seeing Cheng Ying and Ye Linyan standing together, especially sitting face to face like this, Xu Nuo suddenly felt a sense of inferiority!
This feeling was especially strong when Ye Linyan pretended not to recognize him!
As she picked up a slice of boiled fish, a thought popped into Xu Nuo's mind: even if she really was a woman, she probably wouldn't be good enough for Ye Linyan!
Thinking of this, the two people sitting opposite me seemed even more glaring!
The boiled fish here tastes very authentic, but there are a lot of fish bones!
Xu Nuo doesn't like to nitpick. After taking a few bites, she turned her chopsticks back to the spicy chicken!
Cheng Ying picked up a piece of spicy chicken and placed it on Ye Linyan's plate.
"Try it, it's delicious!"
Xu Nuo glanced at Ye Linyan out of the corner of her eye, noticing the spicy chicken on his plate.
Ye Linyan had already placed her chopsticks on the spicy chicken, but noticing Xu Nuo's gaze, she turned around and picked up a bite of twice-cooked pork!
Nan Qing'an noticed that Xu Nuo didn't like picking bones, so he picked two pieces of boiled fish onto his plate and slowly removed the bones!
Cheng Ying clearly loves spicy food, and she praised both dishes highly, her chopsticks practically never stopping!
Watching Cheng Ying eat, Xu Nuo developed a liking for her; she was good at chatting and didn't put on airs!
Another thing is that she eats naturally and doesn't try to maintain a ladylike image or manners like some people do!
This personality should be a good match for Ye Linyan!
Not knowing why she had thought of this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but give a bitter smile!
The next second, two pieces of deboned fish were placed on my plate!
"I can see you like eating this fish, but you don't seem to like picking out the bones. You eat it, and I'll pick out the bones for you!"
Xu Nuo licked his lips, thinking to himself, "Is Nan Qing'an deliberately provoking Ye Linyan because he's sitting across from me?"
After all, his family and Cheng Ying's family are old friends. With such an obvious move, is he really not afraid to let others know that he, the president of Nanfeng Group, is pursuing a man?
Xu Nuo stared at the fish meat on the plate, which had already been deboned, and hesitated whether to eat it or not.
Wow!
Cheng Ying made a sound, then looked at Nan Qing'an with a questioning look in her eyes!
Ye Linyan almost burst into tears from the spiciness of the twice-cooked pork he had just eaten. He never expected that twice-cooked pork, which looked like it had almost no chili peppers, could be so spicy!
Especially when he saw Nan Qing'an picking fish bones out of Xu Nuo, he stared at Xu Nuo with a furrowed brow.
Xu Nuo understood the meaning in Ye Linyan's eyes. Seeing his face reddened from the spiciness, Xu Nuo suddenly wanted to take this opportunity to annoy him!
He raised an eyebrow at Ye Linyan, picked up a piece of fish that Nan Qingan had deboned, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly!
In that instant, Ye Linyan almost wanted to knock the chopsticks out of Xu Nuo's hand, but the anger on her face was just covered by the spiciness of the food.
Cheng Ying's voice rang out:
"Excuse me, could you please bring me a glass of iced lemonade? Quickly! Thanks!"
The waiter nodded in agreement and immediately went to fetch it!
"Lin Yan, you can't eat spicy food? Why didn't you say so earlier? We wouldn't have come here!"
Seeing that his water glass was empty, Cheng Ying got up, took the kettle, poured a glass of water, and handed it to him.
"Thank goodness, I didn't expect it to be this spicy!"
Using the excuse of drinking water, Ye Linyan concealed her emotions. She quickly calmed down!
Nan Qing'an was doing this on purpose for his own benefit. What was he trying to do? Even Ye Zhen knew about his affair with Xu Nuo, so how could Nan Qing'an not know?
Did they want to ruin his relationship with Cheng Ying?
Just as Ye Linyan was still analyzing in his mind why Nan Qing'an was deliberately doing this in front of him, a person appeared at the dining table holding a large bouquet of lilies.
"Mr. Nan, here are the flowers you requested!"
After handing the flowers to Nan Qing'an, the visitor left.
With a slightly surprised look on Cheng Ying's face, Nan Qing'an placed the flowers in Xu Nuo's arms.
"Nono, this is for you!"
Xu Nuo looked at the flowers in his arms and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He must have been fiddling with his phone just now, ordering flowers? He didn't even dare to look Ye Linyan in the eye; he must have been giving him a very unfriendly look!
"Mr. Nan, you already sent me a bouquet! What's going on now?"
"The bouquet we brought had a few flowers crushed in the car, it didn't look good! You like lilies, so I specially had someone pick out the best variety! Smell it!"
Xu Nuo could only smile and reply, "Thank you, Mr. Nan!"
He put the flowers aside and glanced at Ye Linyan's expression.
Sure enough, it got even darker!
It was intentional! Nan Qing'an must have done this on purpose! Xu Nuo and Ye Linyan had this thought at the same time!
"Qing'an, are you coming out as gay? Did I disturb you two today?"
Cheng Ying was now certain of the thought that had just popped into her head, but she still couldn't quite believe it. She had heard before that Nan Qing'an didn't have a girlfriend at his age because of his sexual orientation, but she had never taken it seriously before!
"Why not!"
Nan Qing'an smiled at Cheng Ying:
"Nanfeng, I'm in charge now! Even if Nuonuo and I go abroad to get our marriage certificate tomorrow, no one will dare to say anything!"
After saying that, he glanced at Ye Linyan with a provocative look.
Satisfied to see a cold face, Nan Qing'an put the fish meat she had prepared from her plate back into Xu Nuo's plate.
Xu Nuo was equally shocked by Nan Qing'an's words! He believed that Nan Qing'an's series of actions were intended to provoke Ye Linyan! But he suddenly said such a thing, especially in front of Cheng Ying. Who knows, this news might spread throughout Yuncheng's business district tomorrow!
What exactly is Nan Qing'an trying to do?
Just as Xu Nuo was pondering Nan Qing'an's intentions, Nan Qing'an spoke again:
"Nono, eat more!"
Turning to Cheng Ying, he said:
"Of course, Nono hasn't accepted my advances yet!"
Cheng Ying sensed Ye Linyan's displeasure, and looking at the atmosphere, she felt it was getting increasingly strange!
I casually replied, "Well then, good luck!"
Xu Nuo never expected to encounter Ye Linyan and Cheng Ying, let alone that Nan Qing'an would say such things and take so many actions!
The meal was utterly tasteless and bland!
It tastes like nothing at all!
