Chapter 427 The Beginning of Everything 18
When the figures of the group came from the corridor, Xie Gui frowned unhappily, but managed to suppress the anger between his brows.
He turned his head to look at Gu Yao, "A Yao, can we eat now? You've been starving for so long..."
Gu Yao touched the tip of his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He couldn't very well say that he was hungry, as that was just an excuse.
Finally, he could only put on a pitiful expression and look at Xie Gui, "Brother Xie..."
When the boy put on a pitiful look, Xie Gui felt that no one could resist him.
He sighed softly and tapped Gu Yao on the head, "Then you'd better eat more later."
Gu Yao nodded hurriedly, turned to look at the four people who had already arrived, and waved to them with a smile, "Over here, come quickly!"
Chen Zhao waved excitedly at Gu Yao and pulled Yu Ran beside him toward the pavilion.
The dishes that had been pre-ordered were already served on the round table, and Xie Gui deliberately asked for a few more. Anyway, there weren't many rules, and they weren't planning on making it a high-end meal.
There was even white rice prepared on the side, in case the young men didn't have enough to eat.
In Gu Yao's words, it all comes down to carbohydrates in the end.
White rice is yyds.
Xie Gui was happy to indulge him.
In his words, his kids can eat whatever they want.
Si Yan stared at the small wooden bucket beside him, visibly speechless.
Aside from them, probably no one else would bother steaming a bucket of white rice in Qinghe.
The cool factor instantly dropped.
Si Yan sighed and looked up at the sky.
Chen Zhao immediately noticed the overly exquisite dishes on the table. Before he could even utter a sound of surprise, his gaze fell on the small wooden bucket beside him. The rich aroma of rice from the bucket overwhelmed the entire table of dishes, making him feel incredibly at home.
Looking at the expensive-looking dishes on the table, Chen Zhao felt that they weren't so high-class after all.
They were like ordinary people eating at home, each with a bowl of rice. Chen Zhao, who had been traveling for a long time, was already hungry and was eating heartily.
Yu Ran and Cen Yubai didn't eat in a particularly unrestrained manner.
Xie Gui was peeling shrimp, and as soon as he finished peeling one, he put it into Gu Yao's bowl.
Those delicate hands showed no disdain for the salt-baked shrimp; her entire demeanor was elegant and relaxed, yet she was remarkably attentive.
It was as if what was in front of him wasn't a plate of shrimp, but a huge contract.
Gu Yao accepted the food without a second thought.
Si Yan said she couldn't bear to look, and that out of sight, out of mind.
He hadn't expected that these two would be so unrestrained in public, making no attempt to hide their true intentions whatsoever.
He was truly at his wit's end.
Brother, aren't you guys going to hold back a little?
Ever since Xie Gui talked to him last time.
He knew then that there was truly no turning back.
Before Xie Gui realized his own feelings, he could still subtly hint at Gu Yao's intentions, hoping to make Gu Yao back down.
just now……
Si Yan looked at the man peeling shrimp for her with a gentle expression, who looked every bit the perfect husband.
It's truly an eyesore.
He never imagined that Xie Gui, this eternally icy figure, would eventually melt in the hands of a child.
Is this considered an older man dating a younger woman?
Si Yan looked at Gu Yao and sighed softly.
He should have known this two years ago when he made his point to Gu Yao.
This child in front of me is no ordinary person.
He might even be crazier than Xie Gui.
Cen Yubai's gaze swept between the two, a sharp glint in his eyes, as if he were plotting something.
Gu Yao wiped his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and naturally knew what this person was thinking.
Aside from Cen Yubai himself, no one understands this person better than Gu Yao.
He also had a good understanding of Cen Yubai.
When it comes to cooperation, of course you should find someone you know well.
Cen Yubai is undoubtedly the best choice.
In this life, Gu Yao still intends to cooperate with the person in front of him.
After all, as a partner, Cen Yubai is an extremely outstanding person.
Always be rational.
Always put interests first.
At the same time, it has its own principles.
They are also very capable.
He had no reason not to choose him.
Moreover, and most importantly, Cen Yubai also needs a strong partner.
He believed he was quite capable.
Gu Yao smiled, met Cen Yubai's gaze, and let him scrutinize her, her eyes full of composure.
Cen Yubai frowned, looking at the person in front of him, feeling as if he had seen through everything about him.
He didn't like this feeling of being passive.
Looking at Gu Yao in front of him, he felt a sense of retreat.
His intuition told him that he shouldn't mess with this person.
Although I was reluctant to give up such a big piece of meat, I thought it was more important to play it safe.
He lowered his eyes and absentmindedly stirred the soup in the bowl.
Gu Yao smiled and looked away. Xie Gui observed everything silently, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
This feeling of being excluded is really unpleasant.
Especially since the person who excluded him was Gu Yao.
A-Yao and another person have a secret.
But he knew nothing about it.
This realization made Xie Gui somewhat uncomfortable.
Cen Yubai...
The name stuck in Xie Gui's mind.
It's time to investigate this thoroughly.
He turned his head to look at Gu Yao, who was gnawing on a pork knuckle. Gu Yao looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Her expression was natural and innocent, and even the little oil spot on her face looked exceptionally cute.
