Yan Yirou was taken aback at first, and then wanted to ask her why, but she had already reached the door of the private room and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
The two entered the private room, where the food was already on the table, a feast for the eyes and the palate.
Qin Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Little cousin, if you hadn't come back soon, I was going to go to the women's restroom to look for someone!"
Shangguan Wu said to him, "We ran into an acquaintance and chatted for a few minutes."
Qin Yichen asked curiously, "Who is it?"
“She’s my cousin,” Yan Yirou said calmly.
Qin Yichen dropped the ribs from his chopsticks into his bowl, speechless: "Is that Yan Yixuan who stole your scumbag Ji Xianli?"
Yan Yirou smiled: "Is she that famous?"
Qin Yichen clicked his tongue and looked around at everyone: "Today I'll give you a lesson. In the imperial circle, there are no absolute secrets among the wealthy and powerful families. The more you try to hide something, the more others will investigate. That's why these families keep bodyguards."
Your Yan family is like a sieve; it's hard for others not to know.
He said the last sentence to Yan Yirou.
Yan Yirou was stunned for a moment, then remained silent.
Qin Yichen added, "However, there's an unwritten rule in the imperial circle: knowing something is one thing, but you can't leak it to the media."
Otherwise, the waters of aristocratic families are even deeper than those of the entertainment industry.
Yan Yirou casually asked, "So, do you know a lot of secrets?"
Qin Yichen smiled without saying a word.
Rongrong glanced cautiously at Ji Mingjing beside her out of the corner of her eye, her fear of aristocratic families growing ever stronger.
After the meal, Ji Mingjing didn't even drink tea before saying to Rongrong, "Let's go."
After saying that, he stood up and extended his right hand to her.
Rongrong stood up with her head down, no longer holding the big hand in front of her like she did when she was a child; she was no longer a child.
"Wu Bao, Rou Rou, I'm leaving now, bye-bye." Rong Rong smiled at them.
Shangguan Wu smiled in response: "Bye-bye, see you next time."
Yan Yirou looked at Rongrong and suddenly said, "I'll create a group later and add you two in."
Qin Yichen asked curiously, "What group is it? Can you add me?"
“This is a girls’ group; men are not allowed in,” Yan Yirou refused him.
Upon hearing Rou Rou's words, Rong Rong smiled and left with Ji Mingjing.
At this moment, Qin Yichen looked hurt and clutched his chest, saying, "Seriously? The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years, and you're still being sexist?"
Yan Yirou raised an eyebrow: "If you really want to infiltrate the girls' group, that's fine too. Why don't you become our sister?"
Qin Yichen's lips twitched violently, and he said speechlessly, "I'm a grown man, why would I call you 'sister'? Do you expect me to steal your man?"
Yan Yirou burst out laughing.
Have you been watching too many melodramatic soap operas about Qin San?
"If you want to take it from me, you can try. Whoever gets it will have to rely on their own abilities!"
Yan Yirou couldn't help but laugh just imagining Qin San's alluring image of her trying to steal her man.
Qin Yichen narrowed his eyes, deliberately provoking her: "Try it then, who's your man?"
Yan Yirou blurted out, "Gu Chenye."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Yirou realized something was wrong. Her face instantly turned red, and her eyes darted around, avoiding Qin Yichen and Shangguan Wu's gaze.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wu's smile deepened.
Qin Yichen exclaimed "Holy crap!" and stood up excitedly: "Third Brother Gu is actually your man?"
Yan Yirou opened her mouth as if to say no.
However, Qin Yichen didn't give her a chance to speak and continued to ask, "When did you two start? It couldn't have been on New Year's Eve, could it? No wonder you were at the Gu family's house back then. Third Brother Gu hid it well enough; he even fooled me!"
Yan Yirou: "..." Is he overthinking things?
Qin Yichen sat down and said with a smile, "What do you think of Brother Gu playing the erhu?"
What do you mean, how do you see it? Yan Yirou frowned: "He plays the erhu very well."
"Tsk tsk, beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Everyone else was in pairs, but Qin Yichen was still single, and he inexplicably felt lonely.
Yan Yirou was inexplicably unhappy: "You don't think it sounds good?"
Qin Yichen reflexively denied it: "No!"
Seeing that he suddenly backed down, Yan Yirou was stunned for a moment, then stopped paying attention to him.
She looked down at her phone, and after a while, pulled Shangguan Wu and Rongrong into the group chat.
The group name is "Auspicious Three Treasures".
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched slightly: "How about changing the name?"
Yan Yirou looked at her: "What do you want to call me?"
Shangguan Wu couldn't think of a good name for a while.
"That's it then." She gave up.
Yan Yirou smiled and comforted her, "Yes, you can change it whenever you think of a better one."
Shangguan Wu had no objection: "Okay!"
At the same time, Rongrong received a message to join the group, and she was stunned when she saw the group name.
But she soon smiled.
Because she made two new friends.
She had been alone for a long time before meeting Wubao.
Later, she was taken back to the Ji family by her uncle—no, the head of the family—and her former friends would come to visit her.
It was as if they had always been in contact.
However, after Rongrong broke off her engagement with Ji Xianli and left the Ji family, she never received any news from those friends again.
They even disappeared from her friends list.
Rongrong knew she wasn't smart, but she could distinguish between good and evil. Wubao and Rourou treated her sincerely, so she would treat them sincerely in return.
But she can't do anything except grow flowers.
Rongrong became very depressed.
Suddenly, Ji Mingjing spoke up: "What are you thinking about?"
