In the afternoon, at 4:15 PM.
Luo Shimiao was curled up on the sofa watching videos, while Gu Nian was handling official business in the study.
Little Green squatted in the corner, drawing circles, shrouded in gloom.
Just then, a pig-like scream pierced the sky and entered Luo Shimiao's ears.
"Miaomiao, something terrible has happened!"
The stairs thumped loudly with each step.
Luo Shimiao picked at her ear and turned to look at the handsome man who appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Luo Jianxing, what are you yelling about? Is your computer broken, or did your underwear get burned?"
He rushed to her, plopped down on the sofa, and picked up the unopened cup of milk tea from the table.
She tore open the membrane paper and put a straw in her rosy lips.
Luo Shimiao watched helplessly as the milk tea dwindled, her heart bleeding and her anger rising wildly.
Ignoring her murderous gaze, Luo Jianxing downed half a glass in one gulp, then took out his phone and made a few movements.
"10,000 yuan has been received in Alipay."
This voice calmed the girl's anger.
Luo Shimiao's downturned lips curled up, and he said with a smile, "Third Brother, don't rush, drink slowly."
"What did you mean by 'something really bad' just now?"
Luo Jianxing paused for a moment before saying, "Manman has an admirer who followed her all the way from the US. They're going out to dinner together tonight, it's infuriating!"
"What's his name?"
"Pah, pah," Luo Jianxing frowned and waved his hand, "I don't know what to spit out, there are too many to remember."
"Last time I went to the US with Manman, I thought what you said before was too exaggerated, but after we got there, I found that it wasn't exaggerated at all."
"She has so many suitors; the office receives dozens of bouquets of flowers every day."
Upon hearing this, Little Green flew over and gracefully landed on Luo Jianxing's shoulder.
"My master has so many suitors, but Miaomiao only has Xiaonian Nian so far. How strange."
"Her looks, figure, and family background are all top-notch, so why is this happening?"
Luo Jianxing: "Who would dare to like her? Halfway through pursuing her, she went to the hospital to use their Wi-Fi."
"Only a chosen one like Ah Nian, with an indestructible body, would dare to take that step."
"There are hardly any people in this house, and it's filled with a heavy yin energy. Marrying Miaomiao will also have a deterrent effect."
Luo Shimiao kicked him off the sofa, put her hands on her hips and said, "Look in the mirror, I don't believe a human being would say that."
He rubbed his sore bottom, revealing two rows of clean, white teeth: "I spoke too quickly and accidentally blurted out the truth."
"One is enough. Even if others have thousands of peach blossoms, none can compare to my little yellow one."
Gu Nian's cool voice slowly drifted into my ears: "Well said."
Little Green looked at him and asked, "Then what is she?"
His obsidian-like eyes reflected the girl's figure, and his thin lips parted slightly: "A treasure in my hand, a gem in my heart."
Luo Shimiao cupped her cheeks and smiled happily, as if nine pink tails were wagging behind her.
"Tsk." Luo Jianxing stood up from the ground: "I don't need to eat dinner tonight, I'm full just from eating dog food."
"You started this conversation. I haven't even mentioned you yet; you used to say you had kidney deficiency to ward off unwanted attention."
Gu Nian glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and added, "Maybe he's telling the truth."
"That's right, we must tell my beloved concubine this important information."
He raised his hands and said, "I admit defeat." He then turned to Luo Shimiao and said, "Miaomiao, you must help me this time and get rid of that fly that's buzzing around Manman."
Luo Shimiao clenched his fist and patted his chest: "Get him! How dare he even think of my beloved concubine?"
Luo Jianxing took two steps back to steady himself: "Go hit him, why are you hitting me!"
"Look at how frail you are." She gave him a disdainful look. "The admirer you mentioned, if I remember correctly, is named Ma Peiwen."
"He was the one who persisted the longest among the many admirers of the beloved concubine. She didn't really like him, so logically the beloved concubine should have refused to have dinner with him."
Luo Jianxing said indignantly, "This little scoundrel came to Manman's office and then called Manman's mother right in front of us."
"After saying a lot of nice things, Manman's mother said that since he had come all this way, we should treat him well."
"This guy climbed up the rope, saying he hadn't had authentic Chinese food in a long time. All I could do was tell him I'd take him out for dinner."
Luo Shimiao raised an eyebrow and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips: "Eating with just two people is so boring. We haven't had dinner either, so let's go together to welcome him back."
She beckoned to Xiao Lü with her finger, then hooked her arms around the shoulders of the two men, and started chattering away.
His facial expressions grew increasingly varied, and after speaking, he slightly raised his chin: "How was it?"
Luo Jianxing gave a thumbs up: "That's cunning, I like it. Only you could come up with such a dirty trick."
“Then let’s proceed as planned.” Luo Shimiao raised his left hand and glanced at the time: “Dinner is scheduled for six o’clock, right? We still have some time, let’s go.”
On her way to buy the "gift," she texted Li Man: "My dear, Third Brother said Ma Peiwen is here. We're having dinner with him tonight. Would you mind adding three more pairs of chopsticks?"
Li Man: Your message came at just the right time; I just finished work. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have invited you guys anyway. I don't want to eat alone with that guy; he's just a smooth talker.
Luo Shimiao: Okay, I'll bring two handsome guys to find you at six o'clock.
......
At exactly 6 p.m., three figures walked into the entrance of a restaurant.
Waiter: "Welcome! Do you have a reservation?"
