Chapter 164 – Sleeping In (4)

“Join us for dinner, Wei-ge?” asked Zhong Yuhuan with a smile.

Wei Jie shook his hand. “Nah, I am going to go eat with the other workers.”

Zhong Yuhuan didn’t push the subject. “That works too. Come in with us anyway. I will have the servers set up a separate table for you. My treat. I should be treating you to dinner anyway. I want to thank you for taking care of Li Jinyuan this whole time.

Li Jinyuan stood to one side and smiled. In fact, he was smiling so much that one could barely see his eyes.

He enjoyed how thoughtful Zhong Yuhuan was toward him. He enjoyed the feeling that he was loved and cared about. That feeling was intoxicating and difficult to stop.

Wie Jie nodded and said, “Okay, we will be in in a little bit. We will just give them your name.”

Zhong Yuhuan didn’t say anything else but turned and walked inside with Huo Chengming, with Li Jinyuan tagging along behind them.

The assistant couldn’t help but look in Huo Chengming’s direction and thought to herself that he, too, was very good looking. Was that the older brother?

The entire family was so attractive!

If people like them didn’t join the entertainment circle, then who should join the entertainment circle?

It was only after they had all walked away that the assistant dared to ask Wei Jie, “Wei-ge, do you know Young Master Li’s sister from before?”

Wei Jie smiled and said, “Yeah, for a few years now. Miss Zhong is very nice. Born to a good family. She is pretty, has good temperament, and good with people… she is just all round good.”

The assistant couldn’t help but grumble to herself; can someone really be that perfect?

“Then, who’s the other one next to Miss Zhong?” asked the assistant again.

“Oh, that’s Young Master Hao. Miss Zhong’s older brother.”

The assistant was baffled now. “Ugh… why do they all have different last names? Are they cousins?”

Wei Jie tightened his lips and his smile lessened. “Young Master Hao and Young Master Li were adopted by Miss Zhong’s family.”

The assistant opened her mouth slightly.

She could tell that Wei Jie wasn’t too happy. Probably because she had asked too many questions.

She decided to keep her mouth shut.

Except that she couldn’t help but thought to herself…

If they were adopted, they weren’t related by blood, right?

That meant… they could be in a romantic relationship, right?

But nobody could read the assistant’s mind.

Zhong Yuhuan walked inside the private room with Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan before Huo Chengming said, “I see that Huanhuan had asked you to join us.”

Li Jinyuan nodded and said, “Yes. I just finished work and have some free time to have dinner with Huanhuan.”

Having said that, he looked over at Zhong Yuhuan and said, “Huanhuan, did you bring the contract that you’ve told me about? You go ahead and order. I’ll take a look at the contract.”

“What contract?” Huo Chengming couldn’t help but interject. He hadn’t heard anything about a contract. That made him feel like he was being excluded.

That made Huo Chengming very unhappy.

“Yang Sen asked me to bring over a contract to Li Jinyuan,” said Zhong Yuhuan as she pushed her cellphone over to Li Jinyuan. “Here, you look at the PDF version first. I left the paper copy at home.” She left in a hurry today and wasn’t able to find a purse that could fit the contract in before she ran out the door.

Instead of the paper document, Li Jinyuan much rather be reading it on Zhong Yuhuan’s cellphone.

He smiled and nodded at her. “Okay. Not a problem. This is fine.”

Zhong Yuhuan, the menu in hand, leaned toward Huo Chengming and asked, “What do you want to eat?”

Huo Chengming took a look at the distance between the two of them before he finally felt better. With one hand on the menu, he said, “Let me see.”

The two of them ended up ordering around ten different items. Each plate was not very much at this restaurant, so they ordered quite a bit.

After placing the order and the menus were handed back over to the server, Zhong Yuhuan started asking Huo Chengming about his trip to Dubai.

Li Jinyuan, still holding onto Zhong Yuhuan’s cellphone, was a little distracted.

He wanted to join into the conversation as well.

But he knew very well that it was more important for him to finish reading the contract. He forced himself to focus on finishing reading the contract.

Before long, the server knocked on the door to bring the food in, and Li Jinyuan had also finished reading.

He gave the cellphone back to Zhong Yuhuan and said, “It’s fine. I can take this. Do you have Yang Sen’s WeChat information? You want to start a group chat with us?”

Zhong Yuhuan nodded, took the phone over, and worked on it quickly. “Okay, I made a group chat. I am going to have him drag his sister in as well.”

“Okay.”

Huo Chengming was unhappy again.

That feeling of being left out had returned.
