After Luo Xiao answered “yes” in a serious tone, he lowered his gaze and focused on the messy tabletop. The wine glass was tilted, and there was still some red wine left that reflected the light. He said emotionlessly, “If Zhiyuan Technology can stand its ground in the imperial capital, it would make Jinlin and my path much easier.”
After he finished speaking, he groaned slightly with his hands around his chest.
He calmly raised his gaze and glanced towards the seat across the dining table, he was instantly met with the subtle gloating gaze of Yan Cheng, whose love life was ever smooth sailing. Luo Xiao quickly looked down and scrunched his nose, but no matter how he pretended to be mature, he was still a young man who had not faced the harsh society yet, his thoughts were written all over his face. He wanted to be sure but he was also hesitant at the same time as he said: “At least, uncle and aunty won’t be too against me in the future, right?”
Yan Cheng couldn’t help but chuckle.
His voice wasn’t loud. In this space where someone was singing “Having a dream is great”, only Chen Jinyao, who was sitting closest to him could hear him.
He no longer concealed his gloating gaze. Looking at him from a distance, he felt no urge to treat him nicely even if they came from the same roots. To put it bluntly, life was treating him way too good.
As they weren’t talking about business matters, Yan Cheng felt relaxed and leaned back lazily, with a toothpick in his mouth, his right arm resting on the back of Chen Jinyao’s chair. As a bystander, he was obviously enjoying the chaotic scene.
It wasn’t until Chen Jinyao pinched his thigh under the table and stared at him fiercely, only then his expression, which deserved a good smack, was somewhat restrained.
The man slowly averted his gaze, his long black eyelashes trembling slightly. After a while, the tip of his tongue slit out slightly, and he licked his lower lip, “Hmph.”
“……”
Chen Jinyao pursed her lips and didn’t bother to pay further attention to him. She shifted her gaze to Luo Xiao again, “Don’t worry, as long as you treat Jinlin well, I will definitely be your lobbyist.”
She originally wanted to say that her parents weren’t so unreasonable, but the words that were at the tip of her tongue were abruptly intercepted. Although her words would be rather comforting, it didn’t seem very persuasive.
