793 Slow and idiot
Yin looked at the paper bag in Yating's hand, surprised. "What is that?"
Chyou answered before Yating could. "Just some gift he wants to give his Dad. He wanted my opinion."
"Ah. That's nice."
Yin's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Chyou. "Good, good. For a moment I thought if you fooled him into becoming your ice cream delivery boy."
Her brow twitched. "Of course not. Why would I do that?"
He nodded. "That's good if you didn't. We actors have to look a lot after our health and shape. We cannot just stuff things into our mouths sadly. By the way, all set?"
"Yes, yes! I am all ready for our date~"
"Let's go then."
Chyou eyed her apology through her gaze to Yating and he shook his head helplessly. She hung her arm around Yin's and quickly said, "Let's go, let's go."
He smiled. "Have fun."
Even as Chyou walked away, she secretly kept glancing at the paper bag in Yating's hand with a longing gaze. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Yating watched her with his tilted head.
No wonder she panicked.
He let out a sigh and stared at the lonely ice cream. "Bad luck for you."
He then received a text from Gu Rong which asked him to come to the Gu house. The message made him frown.
What does he want now? It better not be a trick meeting like last time.

Yating placed the paper bag on the dining table as he took his chair opposite Gu Rong. Butler Mo was thrilled to see him. "It feels like a long time young master Yating."
"I told you to call me just Yating so many times," he pouted.
"How can I show disrespect?" He gasped.
"You are elder to me, Uncle Mo. There is no disrespect," he shook his head.
"Good. I am not very used to the camera so I make a lot of mistakes. If it was a seasoned actor instead of me, the shooting would have already wrapped up."
He scoffed. "Nonsense. Don't belittle yourself. It's not a movie, just a few minutes ad. And Chyou is there to guide you. How difficult would it be?"
"Well, yeah that's there. Chyou helps me out a lot."
Gu Rong immediately caught the faint trace of warmth in his eyes and a very light chuckle greeting his lips. He could tell that it was because of Chyou. He blinked and looked at the ice cream bag.
Wait, was that for...?
"I see. And how is she doing?"
"Great. She is very happy with Yin. She is on a date tonight."
Gu Rong stared at him. "I didn't specifically ask how she is doing with Cheng Yin. Then why did you specifically mention him?"
Yating threw him a confused look. "Huh? What's wrong with that? Isn't she dating him?"
"...Yes, but you could have also mentioned her family or friends or her movies or anything other than her relationship. Why was she going on a date that came to your mind first?"
Yating parted and shut his lips, befuddled. "I don't know where you are going with this."
Gu Rong looked utterly displeased. "Forget it. You were always an idiot anyway."
Yating's gaze darkened. "You called me here to call me an idiot?"
"It's not my fault if you are slow."
Butler Mo sighed.
Gu Rong asked, "What else is new?"
Yating muttered to himself, still salty about the previous conversation flow. Ma Dong's thought then came across his mind and he paused. He looked at Gu Rong and weighed the odds of sharing that with him or not.
I guess it will be fine...?
Yating said, "I met with Dong."
"Dong who?" He frowned.
"Ma Dong. My high school friend."
Gu Rong froze. Fury immediately set his gaze ablaze as he banged his chopsticks on the table. "Ma Dong!? Why? Why the hell would you meet that guy!?"
