The fresh ingredients at the resort are delivered daily from nearby farms, boasting a vibrant and bright color and a tender, rich flavor.
Yu Wan, who usually has a poor appetite, suddenly felt a surge of appetite and ate a whole bowl of rice. The intense feeling of fullness made her frown slightly, and after sitting for a while, she stood up and said, "I'm going for a walk."
Tang Yue then got up.
Yu Wan paused in her tracks: "Are you a tagalong?"
"...I also want to digest my food." Tang Yue smiled: "You served me two bowls of chicken soup earlier, and I drank them all. Now my stomach is very bloated."
Yu Wan gave an "oh" and continued walking forward, but did not stop him from following.
Seeing the two leave, Meng Shen let out a helpless sigh.
The fact that Yu Xiaowan, someone destined to be single, could find a boyfriend is purely because Tang Yue has a good temper. It's already dark outside, and he's only doing this because he's worried about her; he's so clueless about romance.
Yu Wan walked along the path, her steps slow as she kept an eye on the person behind her.
We drove out of the East District.
Perhaps to welcome the New Year, the treetops on both sides of the path were adorned with colorful lights, at the end of which stood a hexagonal flower pavilion. A little further on was a pond, its banks lined with reeds.
A thought struck her, and she walked over.
A gentle breeze blows, the reeds rustle, and the fluffy reed flowers sway and flutter.
"My maternal grandmother's house was by the river, with reeds in front of it. When I was little, my favorite thing to do was to go with my grandfather in a small boat to fish and collect bird eggs in the reeds." He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, as if recalling something.
Tang Yue stepped forward: "And then?"
He wanted to know more about her and was very interested in her childhood.
Yu Wan said calmly, "There was no later."
"I'm sorry." Tang Yue realized something and was annoyed that he shouldn't have asked.
After a half-minute silence, a low murmur rang out: "The one who should apologize is their daughter."
The sound was low and soft, drifting in the howling cold wind, and was not very clear.
The eyes hidden in the darkness were slightly red.
Suddenly, someone grabbed my hand.
Startled.
Warmth spreads from the palms to the limbs and bones, nourishing the heart and soul. The whole heart feels as if it is immersed in a pool of spring water, and the tense body slowly relaxes.
Yu Wan lowered her eyelids.
A moment later.
"It's so cold, let's go back." She withdrew her hand, put it in her pocket, and her expression returned to its usual nonchalant manner.
The two walked back.
Suddenly, Tang Yue grabbed Yu Wan's arm and pulled her into the bushes.
"Shh!"
Tang Yue held her in his arms, tilted his head slightly, rested his chin in the crook of her neck, and looked straight ahead with deep, unfathomable eyes.
His warm breath sprayed on her face, and Yu Wan froze instantly, not daring to move as he held her like that.
Sounds gradually came from around the corner.
"I must get the plan out within a week; that's my final deadline."
"I'm afraid that won't work. Tang Yue still has some misunderstandings about me, and he definitely won't reveal any information."
"Hmph, that's your problem."
"Give me a month, I will definitely give you the project plan."
"Okay." After a pause, the voice continued, "If the deadline passes, Mr. Tang, don't blame me for withdrawing the funds previously injected into Genesis Entertainment."
Soon, the two walked further and further apart.
Yu Wan's eyes flickered slightly.
Both voices were familiar; they belonged to Gao Lingchuan and Tang Zhanhang. Judging from the information they revealed, it seemed that Tang Yue possessed something that the two were seeking.
Could it be that Gao Lingchuan also got involved in the Tang family's bankruptcy? The Gao family was only a third-rate wealthy family; Gao Lingchuan's abilities were truly beyond her expectations.
Also, does Tang Yue know about Gao Lingchuan and Tang Zhanhang joining forces?
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Tang Yue knew she had a lot of questions, so he led her out of the bushes and back towards the villa.
-
Having finally returned to the villa, Yu Wan felt a ticklish, tingling sensation in her heart, as if scratched by a cat's claws, and she was incredibly curious.
As soon as the two opened the door, the living room fell silent.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Who came in first?" Meng Shen smiled mischievously: "One minute of French kissing, Huang San, go for it."
Huang Renfeng's lips twitched. Damn it, he couldn't afford to mess with either of these two.
Tang Yue, with his sharp ears, heard something about a "French kiss," and his sharp, cold gaze lingered on Huang Renfeng for a moment.
The latter shrank back and chuckled awkwardly, "Shall we continue playing the King's Game? Want to join?"
Seeing everyone's gaze fall on him, Tang Yue frowned and said in a calm voice, "I can't."
The living room fell silent for a moment.
Yu Wan stared at Tang Yue's profile for a while. This man had lived a disciplined, rigid, and unchanging life for the first twenty-eight years of his life. He knew nothing about the ways of having fun that ordinary young people do. It was quite pitiful.
"It's okay, I'll teach you." She raised her chin.
Arrogant and haughty.
Tang Yue chuckled softly, "Okay, you teach me."
Someone exaggeratedly shouted, "Oh my god, this is such a huge dose of dog food, it's so sweet it's killing me!"
A burst of laughter erupted.
The King's Game is a card game where the player who draws the Joker becomes the King and can appoint any two other players to do anything. The players must obey unconditionally.
After several rounds of the game, the most extreme punishment was simply a kiss over a playing card. Because of good luck, so far only Yu Wan and Tang Yue have been punished.
Finally, it was Meng Shen's turn to draw the Joker card. He secretly glanced at Yu Wan's card and said cheekily, "I want number 2 for a French kiss..."
