On the other side,
Lu Qingzhou, along with Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao, were selecting ingredients in the store.
"Brother Qingzhou, have you made your choices?" Lin Yinuo's voice suddenly came from behind them.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingzhou and the others turned around and looked.
Seeing Leng Yue and Lin Yinuo walking back hand in hand, chatting and laughing, just like best friends.
The group looked puzzled. Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao had seen the two walk to one side earlier, but they didn't expect that they would change so much in just a short while.
Su Qingyao glanced at Leng Yue's face and asked, "When did you two become so close?"
Noticing Leng Yue's nervousness, Lin Yinuo smiled appropriately and said, "Miss Su, what you said is a bit off. Leng Yue and I may not have hit it off immediately, but we've met several times. We even had dinner together at Brother Qingzhou's house last time."
We're friends, you could say. I just chatted with Lengyue for a bit and found we really clicked; we share common interests.
As she spoke, she patted Leng Yue's hand affectionately, as if she and Leng Yue had truly become close friends of many years.
Leng Yue, standing beside her, thought to herself, "It's more than that, we're still 'allies' now," but she dared not say that aloud.
Su Qingyao looked at Lin Yinuo's smiling face and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a subtle scrutiny flashing in her eyes.
Her tone seemed casual, but it actually concealed a sharp edge: "Oh? You hit it off? What did you two talk about? You became as close as sisters so quickly."
Su Qingyao suspected that Leng Yue was her secretary and best friend, and that she usually had no interaction with Lin Yinuo. The fact that the two of them had suddenly become so close must be suspicious.
Mu Shaohua crossed her arms, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the group of people.
He watched with great interest, a playful smile on his lips, as if he were watching a wonderful show.
She has always been free-spirited, and for her, the undercurrents between women are much more interesting than the battles of wits and courage that occur when companies negotiate business deals.
She didn't interrupt, just waited to see how Lin Yinuo and Leng Yue would respond to Su Qingyao's questioning.
Leng Yue's heart tightened, but she forced herself to remain calm and said with a smile, "We didn't talk about anything special, just some girly topics, like makeup and fashion."
As she spoke, she inwardly regretted coming back with Lin Yinuo; she had been planning a secret affair. Now, Yao Yao was suspicious.
Lin Yinuo remained calm. Seeing that Leng Yue was so easily intimidated by Su Qingyao, she cursed Leng Yue for being spineless, but nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Miss Su is so busy with work, she probably doesn't have much time to chat with us about these light topics."
These words, though seemingly ordinary, subtly hinted at sowing discord between Leng Yue and Su Qingyao.
Su Qingyao naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Yinuo's words, and couldn't help but sneer, "Although I'm busy, it doesn't mean I don't know about these things. On the contrary, Miss Lin, as a teacher, you don't usually think about how to teach students well, but you have the leisure to study these things."
Su Qingyao didn't back down and directly countered, reminding Lin Yinuo not to forget her job.
Lin Yinuo's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. "Miss Su is joking. Besides teaching and educating people, one must also have one's own life."
Lu Qingzhou watched the women go back and forth, and suddenly felt completely overwhelmed.
With a hint of helplessness, she said, "Alright, alright, let's stop talking about this and hurry up and choose the ingredients. Zhouzhou and Momo will be hungry when they wake up."
The reason he brought them out to play was because Su Qingyao and Sister Shaohua were competing with each other at home, which made him a little depressed.
I thought I could relax while traveling, but I didn't expect to run into Lin Yinuo. Damn it, I can't avoid her. The situation is even more complicated now.
When Mu Shaohua saw her man speak, her eyes darted around.
With a half-smile on her face, she said, "That's right, Qingyao, instead of wasting your time arguing, you should pick out more food that the children like to eat."
Her words, seemingly meant to reconcile, were actually a reminder to Su Qingyao that they were the ones Lu Qingzhou acknowledged, and the mothers of Zhouzhou and Momo.
Their position is special and cannot be easily shaken by others.
Su Qingyao glanced at Mu Shaohua, then at Lin Yinuo, and ignored her.
Seeing that Mu Shaohua had quelled the chaos with just a few words, Lu Qingzhou couldn't help but glance at Mu Shaohua a couple more times.
Mu Shaohua walked over to Lu Qingzhou, took his arm, and whispered with a faint smile, "How will you thank me?"
Lu Qingzhou was deeply moved and excited. It has to be my wife, Shaohua! No doubt about it!
He gently squeezed her palm, a mischievous grin on his face, and said, "Your period's over, right?"
Seeing his mischievous grin, Mu Shaohua blushed instantly, released her grip on his hand, and said sweetly, "I won't tell you."
Lu Qingzhou was just making a casual joke, but judging from Mu Shaohua's expression, he knew that tonight he could... wow hehehehe... have a treat.
......
The group began selecting ingredients, and on the surface, things seemed calm again, but undercurrents were still swirling.
On the surface, Lin Yinuo was selecting ingredients, but in reality, she was always deliberately getting close to Lu Qingzhou, occasionally asking him with a coquettish smile what he liked to eat.
"Brother Qingzhou, do you like chicken wings? Their chicken wings are especially fresh."
She picked up a skewer of chicken wings and waved it in front of Lu Qingzhou, her eyes full of anticipation.
Su Qingyao saw this and snorted inwardly. She also took a skewer of lamb and walked over to Lu Qingzhou. "What's so good about chicken wings? They're all bones. Honey, these lamb skewers look good. Let's take some more. Zhouzhou and Momo love them too."
