Chapter 243: Gold Backing

He checked its front paws again, touching it. It felt warm and since its paws could scratch others, it must have felt better.

He carried the cat and sat down, not feeling any embarrassment or awkwardness. Yi Ling on the other hand felt pretty awkward. This was her house. why should she be awkward? However she was. She had no idea how to make small talk with him. Maybe they should not talk, I will stay silent. Yes, or maybe I can go to the toilet for a while. Or maybe I will say something like the weather is good.

It was funny. She had been Yan Huan’s manager for so long and her skin was thicker than a wall. However, it wasn’t a matter of being thick-skinned now. She was worried she would say something wrong.

If he gets angry and leave, they will have no backing next time.

“That...” she opened her mouth and her lips were quivering as she tried to maintain a smile.

“Mr. Backer”

Lu Yi petted the cat in his arms as he turned around to look at Yi Ling.

“I am Lu Yi.”

“Oh Mr. Lu.”

Yi Ling evidently didn’t link him to the Attorney Lu whom she had seen on TV back then. He hasn’t had plastic surgery nor did he have any make-up on him. He was the same as how he looked on TV. However, it was almost as if she was temporarily blind now and she couldn’t recognize him as Attorney Lu. This was the attorney that everyone in Sea City was afraid of meeting.

Yi Ling wanted to say something, but she had nothing left to say.

Then, there was no more then after that.

Yi Ling only heaved a sigh of relief after Yan Huan came out. This backer is so hard to get along with, can I hide myself first.

Yan Huan brought out the food that she had made plate by plate before placing a fried fish in front of Little Bean. Little Bean was good at identifying what was good as it picked up the fish and brought it over to its bed.

It was a scrumptious meal that took up the entire table. There were pork balls, vegetables, fried fish, a big plate of chicken as well as a bowl of sour vegetable soup. These were all home-cooked dishes and she knew that Lu Yi loved his food spicy and loved meat too. Hence, she made her food taste stronger and with more meat.

Lu Yi took a pair of chopsticks and didn’t stand on ceremony at all. Perhaps he was really hungry too and he had been so busy since yesterday that he hadn’t had the time to eat. Or perhaps he and Fang Zhu had talked for so long and he was still thinking how he was going to whip something up for himself. Turns out he no longer need to now and since there is a cooked meal in front of him, he will just eat it.

He didn’t stand on ceremony at all. Just like how he was way back when he first met Yan Huan, they were as close as family. There was no need to be awkward as he took up a ball.

Yi Ling’s eye twitched, her heart felt like it had been cut by a sharp knife

My meat.

He took another and Yi Ling’s fingers were trembling.

My meat.

He took a third piece and it almost seemed as if someone in her heart was screaming.

My meat.

Only after he took the fourth piece that Yi Ling could no longer hold back. She took her chopsticks and pointed right at the pork ball. She could care less if it was a big or small piece, no one could snatch it from her.

Huanhuan’s pork balls were the best and she barely had a chance to eat them as they were busy the whole year round. There were only a dozen of them in the plate and he had already eaten four of them with no intention of stopping.

Yi Ling was a little far from that dish and hence no matter how fast her fingers were, they couldn’t be faster than others. Besides, he was a guest and she couldn’t brazenly snatch with him.

Lu Yi liked this braised pork balls too. He bit into one and placed half of it into Little Bean’s cat bowl. Little Bean gave the ball a lick before she started eating it.

Yi Ling took this opportunity to eat two balls but before she could even taste it properly. There were a few less balls in the plate. Yi ling let out a long curse in her heart. If this guy wasn’t here right now, this whole plate would be hers. Yan Huan doesn’t eat meat and the few plates of vegetables were for her. Hence, the two of them living together was perfect.

One eats meat while the other eats vegetables. They wouldn’t fight with each other.

But now, there was someone to fight with her.

It didn’t take very long for the plate of braised pork balls to be gone. Lu Yi picked up other dishes to eat while Yi Ling chewed on her chopsticks. This can confirm that he is a carnivore just like her. Oh, what should I do?

She started mumbling to herself in her heart. Bro, can you eat a little vegetables.

Yan Huan ate her own vegetables and didn’t care what the two of them wanted. She was very generous and there were so many vegetables on the table but none of them wanted to eat them. She was the only one eating.

It was a pity. She was generous but they didn’t appreciate it. They were still plotting against one another over a few pieces of meat.

Even after Lu Yi left, Yi Ling was still thinking about the meat she didn’t eat, the balls she didn’t eat, the fish she didn’t eat. She stared at Yan Huan.

Yan Huan brought all the plates into the kitchen and ignored the pitiful look that Yi Ling gave her.

“Huanhuan...” Yi Ling ran into the kitchen. Since Yan Huan wasn’t going to her, she would go to Yan Huan.

“Can you make more?”

“No.” Yan Huan rejected her without giving it another thought. ‘Yiyi, you ate enough already.”

“But he ate more than me!” Yi Ling pointed at the door, “That guy who just left.”

“He is a guest.” Yan Huan washed the plates under the tap. The bubbles on her finger from the soap burst from time to time as it brought with it a refreshing lemon scent.

“A guest cannot eat that much too right?” Even though Yi Ling knew Yan Huan was right, she felt quite bad.

Such delicious balls, they were supposed to be hers only. Now, more than half of them were in someone else’s stomach.

“Then Huanhuan, can you...” Yi Ling wanted Yan Huan to make another portion. She didn’t have enough and wasn’t satisfied. She wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

“No.” Yan Huan gave the same answer. “It is almost 10 now. You haven’t even digested that table of food from earlier and you want to eat again?”

Yi Ling could only shrug and walk out.

She understood Yan Huan’s character. If she said yes it means yes, it made things easy. When she says no, she definitely means no. It would be incredibly hard to convince her otherwise. Hence, Yi Ling knew that her dreams of eating more balls were destroyed.

As Yan Huan walked out after finish cleaning up, she saw Yi Ling lying sprawled on the sofa looking listless. “It is just a few pork balls, why does it look like it cost your life?”
