Chapter 218 - Lunchtime rackus

Lunchtime...

At the cafeteria...

Mai Yuerui was having her lunch with her friends.

Today they got her favorite Szechuan chicken.

"Mmm... I love Szechuan chicken." Mai Yuerui said as she filled her mouth with it.

"Eat slowly, Mai Yuerui. No one's gonna take it away from you."

"Am I really eating that fast?" Mai Yuerui asked her friends while chewing her food.

"Yes, you are." Both Su and Kai replied in unison.

"Sorry, guys. It's my favorite dish. That's why I am making such a mess. Don't mind me, please." Mai Yuerui chuckled foolishly.

"I know it's not only about the food. There is something else too, right? Tell me, Mai Yuerui, did something happened at the CEOs office today? You also didn't tell us, why boss picked you up yesterday." Su asked with her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Mai Yuerui was indeed happy because of Lin Zongguan's words and how he blessed both of them. But now when Su asked about the CEOs office, the face of Kong Xianwang and his pervert behavior flasked in her eyes.

Instantly she chocked on her food.

"Slow down, little cat. Here, drink some water." Su started to pat on her back as she gave her a glass of water.

"Ah...." After drinking water Mai Yuerui gasped.

"Are you okay now?" Kai asked her.

"Yes, I am fine. Sorry to make you worry guys." She again replied with her foolish smile.

"Okay... Okay. Now eat... But slowly."

Mai Yuerui again smiled and took the glass to drink some more water. But she instantly froze when her eyes fell on the door.

'What the h*ll!'

Kong Xianwang is there!

Su and Kai saw Mai Yuerui's surprised face and turned to see Kong Xianwang and Si ying at the door.

"Oh my goodness, boss is here!"

As soon as everyone saw Kong Xianwang, they stood up from their seat.

"Please, sit down. And enjoy your meal. Boss is here just to have a lunch. Please don't mind him."

"Oh!" Everyone said in unison as they nodded and returned to enjoy their meal.

Kong Xianwang and Si ying both passed across the crowd and went to the food counter.

Si ying went to take food for them while Kong Xianwang stood beside him.

After scrutinizing every corner of the cafeteria, he finally found his wife enjoying her food right next to the food corner.

"She sure eats well." He murmured to himself.

He turned towards Si ying and said, "I am taking a seat for us." And he went straight to his wife.

From the moment Kong Xianwang entered the cafeteria Mai Yuerui has been sneakily looking at him. At this moment she doesn't trust him. He can have anything in his mind.

When she saw him coming towards her, she subconsciously tried to hide her face with her hand.

But it was off no use.

He came close to her and asked politely, "Is this seat taken?"

Mai Yuerui didn't even turn towards him.

While still trying to hide her face she nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes, it's taken. Please sit in another place."

"Hey, Mai Yuerui what are you saying?" Su instantly poked her hands away from her face and whispered to her in low voice.

Then she turned towards Kong Xianwang and replied politely, "There is no one here Boss. Of course you can take it."

She even called out for Si ying out loud as he was looking for his friend, "Si.... Secretary Si, Boss is here."

Si ying smiled at her and went towards them.

After taking the tray, Kong Xianwang sat beside Mai Yuerui and Si ying next to Su.

"What brings you here today, secretary Si ying?" Kai foolishly asked him.

"Oh... I forgot to order lunch for Boss today." Si ying said before glaring at his friend who dragged him all the way here when he was about to devour the double cheese burger he ordered for himself.

Kong Xianwang only winked at him in reply before putting a piece of meat in his mouth.

"What are you doing here?" Mai Yuerui whispered to Kong Xianwang while pretending to eat.

"Eating lunch." Kong Xianwang casually replied.

"Will you please tell me honestly what you are up to, so that I won't get a heart attack"

"Why are you saying such ominous words again? Please don't say that" Kong Xianwang turned to his wife and got worked up. He doesn't like that she is talking bad stuff for her.

"Don't look at me, look at your food." Mai Yuerui suddenly ordered.

"Oh.. okay." And he immediately obeyed his wife's order.

"Now tell me, why are you here?"

"My mom called. She wants to have a video chat with us together, right now."

"Why now?"

"She doesn't trust me. She thinks I don't take good care of you."

"Well, she is right, though." Mai Yuerui murmured to herself.

"When did I...." Kong Xianwang wanted to say something but his phone vibrated and it was a call from his mother.

Kong Xianwang kicked Si ying's leg under the table and signaled him to seat somewhere else.

"Um... Ms. Su, I am not comfortable here actually, it's a little crowded. Why not we seat there?" Si ying asked Su.

"Well... Umm." Su hesistated a little.

"Let's go and sit there."

He succeed to take Su with him but Kai was still glued on his seat as he was enjoying in slurping the noodles.

"Mr. Kai... Come join us." Reluctant to do so, Si ying still dragged Kai with them.

After they left Kong Xianwang showed his phone to Mai Yuerui that his mother is indeed calling him.

He put out one airpod from his ear and placed in Mai Yuerui's ear.

Then picked up the call.

"Hello, Mom." He said.

"I didn't call to see your face. Where is my daughter-in-law?"

"She is right beside me, eating her lunch." He moved his phone and showed Mai Yuerui's face.

"How are you doing, aunty? I am sorry I didn't call you."

"When will you have time to call? When you can't even call your parents?" Meng Xihuan suddenly came in the screen.

"Mom! What are you doing here?" Mai Yuerui was shocked.

"What do you think? Yan Fengreng Is my friend. And now she has also become my relative."she said with a smile.

"Aiyoo... Wang'er and Rui'er.... Thank you so much for getting married. And now we two friends have become relatives."

Both Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui were shocked to hear that.

....

While they were busy in talking with their mothers, all the people in the cafeteria were staring at them. They all gathered around Si ying to extract some gossip news from him.

"Secretary Si? Boss never came here, right? Then why is he here and sitting with Mai Yuerui?" Even though the female employee asked out of curiosity, but they also had jealousy on their face.

"It's nothing. It's just that I forgot to order his lunch."

"Then who is he talking with now? Even Mai Yuerui joined their conversation!"

"He is talking with.... umm..." Si ying started to wrack his head to make an excuse.

Then suddenly the light on his head turned on.

"Yes! He is talking with CEO Han Yefang."

After a pause he added,"Ms. Mai Yuerui has been in the project with The Han since the beginning. That's why she is also in their conversation."

"Yes... That's the reason."

"Ahhhh..." Everyone exclaimed together.

.....

Back to our couple...

"Did you know, we two had known each for a long time. But it never occurred in our mind out getting you two married together." The never ending gossip of their mothers didn't had any sign of stopping.

"Mom... Mom.... We are in the office. So we can't continue this conversation. I have a meeting now."

"Who is stopping you? Go and attend your damn meeting. I will talk with my sweet Rui'er." Yan fengreng ranted.

"Aunty, I am sorry but... we both have a meeting." Mai Yuerui interrupted apologetically.

After a pause she added, "together... We have a meeting together."

Kong Xianwang looked at her in confusion because she is in fact lying.

"When...." He was about to burst her lie.. but Mai Yuerui kicked his leg very hard.

"Ah...a..... Yes .. she is right. WE! Have a meeting together." Kong Xianwang faked a smile.

"Oh... That's bad." Meng Xihuan became disappointed.

"Don't get disappointed, aunty. It's just a phone call. You are free to call us anytime."

"I know... But we two are already outside your office. We wanted to give blessings to you together." Suddenly Meng Xihuan dropped a bomb on them.

"What!" Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui both got excited.

"Mom... Aunty... You two wait there. We are coming." They both became worked up making their mother-in-laws dumbfounded.

After cutting the phone call both Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui picked up their things and left the cafeteria in a hurry leaving their leftover Szechuan chicken alone.
