Jiang Yule walked over and explained to Li Xingyi in a soft voice, “Master Li, I was the one who invited Mr. Ouyang to stay for dinner with us. He spent the whole afternoon tutoring Sui’an and was very attentive. It would be remiss of me to not at least invite him to join us for dinner.”

Li Xingyi wanted to say that being attentive was the minimum requirement of what he should do. The salary he gave Ouyang Xuan was more than twice the salary earned by other tutors. If he was not diligent in tutoring Li Sui’an, Li Xingyi could easily replace him with someone better. However, as a cold and overbearing CEO, he did not say all of this out loud.

Jiang Yule did not know what he was thinking and only saw Li Xingyi nod his head.

‘Heh, I don’t know if he’s putting in effort to teach or not, but this kid is definitely determined to make you a cuckold.’

Li Xingyi’s figure paused, and his cold gaze swept over Ouyang Xuan as sharp as a knife. The tutor was so frightened that he almost fled.

‘Why is Li Xingyi so scary?! Other than his appearance, what about him does Jiang Yule like?!’

If Jiang Yule could read minds, she would definitely have answered him decisively. It was his wealth, stocks, and listed corporations, of course!

Aunt Wang brought Li Sui’an to the chair next to Li Xingyi. Jiang Yule was about to sit across from him, but Li Xingyi suddenly pointed to the seat on his left and said, “Sit here.”

During the meal, Ouyang Xuan felt very uncomfortable, as though he had eaten sh*t. The abalone in his bowl had a faint fishy smell, and his mood was very complicated. He sat alone on one side of the dining table, while Li Xingyi sat on the opposite side with a lovely child on one side and a beautiful young woman on the other. Anyone who looked at them now would say that they were a happy family of three.

When did this story begin to spiral out of control?

Before he sat down for dinner, Ouyang Xuan had already made a plan. He was going to pretend to drop his chopsticks on the ground and use the opportunity to secretly touch Jiang Yule’s hand under the table while he was picking them up. ‘I will seduce her until she becomes confused and loses interest in Li Xingyi!’

Jiang Yule noticed Ouyang Xuan’s complicated expression and was amused. ‘This kid definitely wanted to sit on the same side as me to do something shameful under Li Xingyi’s nose while we’re eating.’

Li Xingyi’s movements stuttered. The chopsticks slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a loud clatter on the smooth marble surface. Jiang Yule pretended to twist her body a few times, as if she wanted to bend down to pick it up. However, she did not move even after pretending for several seconds.

‘I told you to dress warmer! Now your hands and feet are numb from the cold. That’s not ideal for someone who’s still young, but you deserve it!’

At the side, Aunt Wang quickly bent down to pick up the chopsticks. Ignoring the strange voice in his ears, Li Xingyi observed Aunt Wang’s expression as she picked up the chopsticks. Everything was normal. It seemed that no one was causing trouble under the table.

Li Xingyi calmed down and continued to focus on the steak on his plate.

There was his wife, who would inherit half of his assets after his death, and the other was a tutor, whom he had spent a lot of money to hire. He absolutely would not allow these two to do anything despicable in front of him.

Opposite him, Ouyang Xuan sneered in his heart. ‘Li Xingyi looks so prim and proper yet he can’t even hold a pair of chopsticks properly. If he isn’t a weakling, then what is he?’

Aunt Wang, who had brought new chopsticks for Li Xingyi, said guiltily, “These chopsticks are too slippery. I’ll replace this batch of chopsticks tomorrow.”

Li Sui’an nodded in agreement. “Aunt Wang, don’t buy the kitchenware from this brand in the future. The design doesn’t suit my tastes.”

Even Yang Chen, who had been standing quietly in the corner, stepped forward and said, “It’s a product of the Xu Group. I’ll inform your assistant tomorrow to cancel the letter of intent we signed with them.”

Li Xingyi nodded slightly and was about to speak when he heard the voice again.

‘Haha! Winter is coming! Let the Xu Group go bankrupt!’ Jiang Yule, who was beside him, looked angry, as if she was feeling injustice for him.

“Let’s continue eating,” Li Xingyi said expressionlessly.

The three people who were complaining about the chopsticks immediately stopped. This series of actions stunned Ouyang Xuan.

‘Is this what a legendary wealthy family is like? It’s just a pair of ordinary chopsticks. Why does it seem like the chopsticks had committed an unforgivable crime?!’

After dinner, there was still some time to rest. Ouyang Xuan wanted to boast his excellent teaching qualifications, so he told Li Sui’an to show off in front of Li Xingyi by reciting the ancient poems that he had learned today.

Li Sui’an was excited when he heard the suggestion. After hearing the conversation between the two, Jiang Yule suddenly thought of a question.

‘Is the reason for Li Xingyi ignoring this little boy because he’s too mature and sophisticated for his age?’
