Mingsi looked at us curiously and asked suspiciously, "Why did it take you so long to choose a wine?"
I hugged Mingsi's arm affectionately and said to her coquettishly, "Mom, it's not that I don't know much about wine! Yan Meng happened to know a lot, so I asked him for advice and listened to his talk about wine knowledge. That's why it took a little while. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Mingsi took the red wine from my hand, took a look at it, and then showed Yan Meng an approving look: "It seems that Yan Meng, you are very knowledgeable about wine. This bottle of wine is just the right one."
Seeing that Mingsi had no doubts, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Mingsi upstairs, while turning back and glaring at Yan Meng warningly.
The food had already been placed on the table and we took our seats one by one.
Mingsi raised his glass and said with a smile, "No one here today is a stranger. There are no restrictions. You young people are eating and drinking happily, and I am happy to see you."
"Thank you, Aunt Ming!" Qiu Qiu thanked her sweetly, which pleased Ming Si.
We all toasted Mingsi and then feasted on the food.
Qiu Qiu had a low alcohol tolerance and was tipsy after only two or three drinks. In addition, he and Yan Meng had not seen each other for a long time, so he couldn't help but talk more.
Her face flushed red as she grumbled to Yan Meng seriously, "Yan Meng, I really didn't expect opening a store to be so difficult! As the boss, I really have to worry about everything. When you first took over Bailu Clothing, it must have been very difficult too, right? I really admire you!"
Hearing Qiu Qiu's praise, Yan Meng felt a little embarrassed and just smiled out of politeness.
Qiu Qiu didn't notice. She was so excited about the conversation that she insisted Yan Meng go to her store and even enthusiastically set a date: "Are you free next week? I'm planning to hold an event in the store next Wednesday. You can also come to the store to take a look and give me some suggestions."
Qiu Qiu was so focused on talking to Yan Meng that he forgot about Mingyuan's feelings.
Qiu Qiu's cat cafe was able to open smoothly thanks to Mingyuan's help, who was responsible for giving advice and training the cats. Now Qiu Qiu wanted Yan Meng to give his opinion, which was clearly a slap in Mingyuan's face.
I looked at Mingyuan cautiously. He had a gloomy face and was eating silently with the bowl in his hand. He looked calm, but in fact, the chopsticks in his hand were about to poke the bowl.
Yan Meng couldn't bear to reject Qiu Qiu directly, so he said tactfully: "Let me take a look. If time permits, I will go over to visit."
"You must go! Let me tell you, the kittens in our store are so cute!" As he was talking, Qiu Qiu suddenly thought of something and looked at Yan Meng with bright eyes, "Yan Meng, do you like cats?"
Yan Meng smiled gently and replied, "Actually, I used to prefer dogs because I thought they were more loyal. But now I think cats are good too. Although they might scratch you with their little claws sometimes, it's quite challenging to get them to obey."
Yan Meng was apparently talking about the cat, but he gave me a meaningful look.
I frowned and avoided his gaze uncomfortably.
What does he mean by that? Is he saying I'm like a cat?
This is complete bullshit!
Qiu Qiuze excitedly took over Yan Meng's words: "The cats in our store are very docile. If you go to our store, you will definitely be warmed by those kittens! They are very affectionate and always like to rub against people's trouser legs to act cute."
