Chapter 543 - 543: Jealousy
After taking the Supreme VIP card from the manager and filling in all the information, Li Muyao and Huo Jiling left Xinfeng Bookstore. It was already dinner time.
At this moment, Huo Jiling received a call from Lu Sicheng.
“Ling, where are you and your wife? Can I make a reservation at the Feast Hall and come over for dinner? It was just the right time to make up for the gift that he had not given to his sister-in-law before. My Siyun and Ah Zhi’s Shiyu are both here. Why don’t you come over together?”
Li Muyao and Huo Jiling couldn’t go to the house, so Lu Sicheng felt a little apologetic, so he thought about treating them to a meal.
After all, their previous meeting was not considered formal.
Huo Jiling didn’t agree directly, but asked Li Muyao for her opinion. After Li Muyao agreed, she replied to her friend on the phone: “Alright, then we’ll come over now. We’ll be there in about ten minutes. Yes, we’re in Xinfengshu, and my mooncake won two big prizes. Alright, I’ll tell you when we get there.”
They didn’t need to pick up the books because Xinfeng Bookstore was willing to deliver them to their doorstep.
Li Muyao was now the VIP of Xinfeng Bookstore. In the future, even if she didn’t come, as long as she called or went to the official website of Xinfeng Bookstore, the local bookstore would help her deliver the books she wanted. All the books would be 50% off.
“The private cuisine of the Feast House is very good. They are all authentic Jin City dishes. You can try the mooncakes later. If you like spicy food, they have a homemade chili radish in their shop. You might like it. It’s just that there’s a hint of sourness and sweetness in the spicy taste.
The taste was quite unique, and most people didn’t like it very much. However, the spiciness was really delicious. In the past, I couldn’t eat it, but Ah-Cheng and Ah-Zhi liked it. Therefore, we can also order spicy dishes this time.”
In Huo Jiling’s circle of friends, only Huo Jiling couldn’t eat spicy food. After all, he spent most of his time abroad. Even when she returned to Jin City, she would only eat Jin City food.
Jincheng cuisine was really not spicy.
Lu Sicheng had to travel all over the country from time to time, and he even had to discuss projects in various countries. He had a lot of food to eat. It could be said that Lu Sicheng was the best eater in their circle of friends.
How could Fu Yunzhi, a researcher, eat spicy food?
That was because scientific researchers needed to rest well. Eating spicy food could stimulate the nerves. The brain circuits of scientific researchers were always different from ordinary people. Fu Yunzhi had learned a secret method to refresh himself from an old professor. That was to eat raw chili peppers, the kind that were sharp and thin. If he ate one when he was free, it would be spicy for the whole day.
The kind that could make one’s lips turn red from the spiciness had a special effect on refreshing one’s mind.
“Then I really have to give it a try. So, before you learned how to eat spicy food, they could all eat spicy food?”As a Chinese, he had to know how to eat chili. Otherwise, he would have to eat less delicious food!
Thinking of how Huo Jiling had learned to eat spicy food and make Shacheng dishes for her, Li Muyao felt a little satisfied.
Huo Jiling heard Li Muyao’s curiosity and told her about Lu Sicheng, Fu Yunzhi, and Chen Tao’s spicy food, especially Fu Yunzhi’s spicy food. He laughed as he talked.
Ten minutes later, Li Muyao and Huo Jiling arrived at the private room Lu Sicheng had booked.
Lu Sicheng saw Huo Jiling holding Li Muyao’s hand tightly and couldn’t help but tease,”Yo! Brother Ling, I didn’t expect you to be such a boyfriend. You have to hold your wife’s hand wherever you go. Are you afraid that you’ll get lost?
Hehe, Sister-in-law, Ah Ling is still so childish. I’ll have to entrust you with a good education in the future! Come, come, come. Take a seat and order. Choose what you like to eat. Order whatever you want.
The dishes at the Feast House are reallv delicious, and the desserts are also
good. My sister and Shiyu from Ah Zhi’s family like them very much.”
Lu Sicheng’s funny words made Li Muyao laugh. She had always thought that people working in an official unit like Lu Sicheng should be very serious. Even if he wasn’t serious, he should be like Huo Jiling, who usually had a cold face.
In the end, just like Fu Yunzhi, Lu Sicheng shattered their image the moment he opened his mouth.
Li Muyao smiled and took the menu.” Brother Cheng, don’t call me sister-in-law. Ling and I aren’t married yet.”‘
These people were really interesting. Last time, they rejected him and corrected him. In the end, they turned around and shouted again.
“It’s okay. We’ll get married sooner or later anyway. It’s just a habit to call her earlier. “Lu Sicheng sat down and waited for Li Muyao to order.
Ye Shiyu finally opened her mouth to speak, “Ling, Ah Zhi and the others suddenly had something to do, so they went to the research institute.””Then, he took out a bunch of keys from his bag and handed them to Li
Muyao.’”‘Yaoyao, this is a greeting gift from Ah Zhi and me. Although it’s a little tacky to give you a house, Ah Zhi doesn’t have much money. He just has a lot of houses.
I hope Yaoyao doesn’t mind that this small courtyard house is small. It’s fine as long as there are only eight rooms. You have to accept this gift. When I was dating Ah Zhi, Ah Ling also gave me a gift.
In the future, Ah-Cheng would also get a wife, so Ah-Zhi and Ah-Ling would definitely give him a present.”
The last sentence in Ye Shiyu’s words was very interesting. Before, it was about her partner, but after that, it was directly changed to wife. That was because they all knew that Li Muyao was Huo Jiling’s future daughter-in-law and that marriage was a hundred percent certain.
Unlike Ye Shiyu and Fu Yunzhi, they were only partners now. Even they themselves knew that they might not get married in the future. There were too many uncertainties in their relationship. For example, Fu Yunzhi was a researcher. He often could not contact anyone for three to five months because of a project, let alone meet them.
Ye Shiyu and Fu Yunzhi were in the same circle. When they were dating together, they were just having fun with each other.
Therefore, they all had the same attitude towards not coming.
This was why when Fu Yunzhi got up from Ye Shiyu’s bed and took out a bunch of keys for Ye Shiyu to give to Li Muyao, Ye Shiyu felt a trace of jealousy.
The men in Jin City were loyal to their brothers.
Not to mention their small brotherhood centered around Huo Jiling. Their relationship was not something that could be controlled by the women around them. However, Li Muyao was definitely the first sister-in-law to be recognized by Lu Sicheng, Fu Yunzhi, and Chen Tao. She was also Huo Jiling’s wife.
It could even be heard from the names Lu Sicheng and the others called each other. For example, they called each other Ye Shiyu, which was the name of Ah Zhi’s family, while Li Muyao was called Ah Ling’s little wife or your wife.
Different words meant different recognition. Ye Shiyu felt a little jealous of Li Muyao because of the recognition she got from this title..
