Chapter Sixty-Four: Hot Pot is So Delicious, Because of Her



The ambient temperature suddenly rose.

Yu Wan felt extremely uncomfortable, especially when she noticed the strong, powerful arm around her waist. Her head was still resting on his chest, and in her daze, she seemed to hear his heart beating very fast in his chest.

Just then, Tang Yue released her, subtly taking a step back, instantly reducing the sharp, oppressive feeling.

Are you alright?

A faint smile graced his handsome face, making him appear both upright and refined.

His voice immediately made people overlook the hoarseness in it.

Yu Wan slightly parted the corners of her lips.

She felt that Tang Yue had his merits, such as his good manners that were ingrained in his bones, which always made people feel comfortable.

"What 3T Challenge? Is it the one I know?" Meng Shen wiped his face, his eyes filled with disbelief. "My god, Yu Xiaowan, did you save the galaxy in your past life? My idol actually sent you an invitation! Where is the invitation?"

Upon hearing the word "male god," Tang Yue raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.

Meng Shen looked left and right, his gaze finally settling on the stack of documents peeking out of the small purse. He pulled them out and gasped. His face flushed red, he trembled with excitement, and his eyes sparkled: "Brother, please take me with you!" He'd do anything for him!

Yu Wan shrugged and smiled casually: "I don't plan to participate. If you like it, you can take it."

Tang Yue's gaze deepened as he looked at her.

"Why not go?" Meng Shen's eyes widened. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Do you know how rare and precious this invitation is? Someone once offered tens of millions of dollars but still couldn't buy one!"

He clutched his chest, looking heartbroken: "You're wasting such a precious thing, you deserve to be struck by lightning! If my idol could send me an invitation, I'd sell all my precious sports cars."

"It doesn't mean anything." Yu Wan's reaction was indifferent.

Besides, the Yu family is already conspicuous enough. If they were to participate in the 3T Challenge, wouldn't that just be pushing themselves into the eye of the storm?

Just thinking about it makes me feel like it's a hassle.

It's better to be a playboy.

Nobody takes you seriously anymore, so you get to enjoy some peace and quiet.

"..." Meng Shen took a deep breath: "You really want to give it to me?"

Yu Wan gave a light "hmm" as if she didn't care at all.

Meng Shen was overjoyed, but before he could even feel happy, a bucket of cold water was poured on him.

“Every invitation to the 3T Challenge is recorded, so even if you give it to him, he can’t use it.” Tang Yue smiled, then subtly probed, “Since you’ve already received the invitation, even if you don’t go, it already shows that your strength far surpasses that of ordinary scions of wealthy families.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Shen, as expected, asked Yu Wan in confusion, "Huh? That's not right, why would T·Dream send you an invitation?"

Because Tang Yue was in the car, he didn't dare to ask openly if it was because she had interfered in the matter of causing the Tang family to go bankrupt that she had attracted T·Dream's attention.

But that's impossible.

That incident didn't demonstrate Yu Wan's business acumen; at most, it accelerated Tang's bankruptcy. Besides, the business unit she established before that was losing money every year.

Although his brother is good at many things, he is particularly bad at business and academics.

To maintain her public image, Yu Wan didn't plan to reveal Rong Jun's affair. She tilted her head and said seriously, "Maybe it's because they want to curry favor with Old Man Yu."

Tang Yue: "..."

Meng Shen: "..."

There was silence for a good ten seconds.

Meng Shen chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, maybe T·Dream is short of money." The Yu family may not have much else, but they have plenty of money!

Tang Yue: "..."

He glanced at the code on the document and memorized it.

We arrived at the hot pot restaurant quickly.

Knowing that Yu Wan loved spicy food, Meng Shen first selected an extra spicy beef tallow hot pot, then turned to Tang Yue across from him and asked, "Brother Yue, what kind of broth do you like?"

The question startled even herself, her mind already wandering far away: Could it be that Tang Yue has never eaten hot pot before?

The Tang family retains the style and heritage of a traditional, old-fashioned wealthy family. Every dish is meticulously prepared by the chef, boasting excellent color, aroma, and taste, reflecting the utmost attention to detail. He had probably never experienced a scene like this, where a group of people gather around a hot pot restaurant.

Indeed, this was Tang Yue's first time.

He grew up under the care of Grandpa Tang and had extremely disciplined and strict lifestyle habits. In addition to his studies, he had to undergo various skills training, and he was almost never idle. Even when there were private gatherings, the group of people would book the venues in upscale Chinese and Western restaurants in order to please him.

Tang Yue pursed his lips, his almond-shaped eyes slightly raised, and he glanced curiously at the hot pot bases on the menu. Mushroom broth, tomato broth, sour broth... he could roughly guess the taste of each broth from their literal meanings.

He prefers milder flavors, and it would seem selfish of him to choose his favorite broth while others don't. His long-standing good upbringing has also made him habitually choose to have a modest appetite, so he smiled and said, "I'm not picky about food, just follow your preferences."

Upon hearing this, the waiter smiled broadly and said, "The spicier the Sichuan hot pot, the more flavorful it is!" Authentic Sichuan hot pot doesn't have the concept of a divided pot; it was only after arriving in Jiangcheng that we adapted to the local custom.

"Another mushroom soup hot pot, please." A light voice suddenly rang out.

The waiter looked at the girl playing the game; her fingers, tapping on the phone, were slender and white.

Meng Shen asked in surprise, "Don't you love spicy food?"
