After Luo Xiao answered "yes" in a serious tone, he lowered his gaze and focused on the messy tabletop. The wine glass was tilted, and there was still some red wine left that reflected the light. He said emotionlessly, "If Zhiyuan Technology can stand its ground in the imperial capital, it would make Jinlin and my path much easier."
After he finished speaking, he groaned slightly with his hands around his chest.
He calmly raised his gaze and glanced towards the seat across the dining table, he was instantly met with the subtle gloating gaze of Yan Cheng, whose love life was ever smooth sailing. Luo Xiao quickly looked down and scrunched his nose, but no matter how he pretended to be mature, he was still a young man who had not faced the harsh society yet, his thoughts were written all over his face. He wanted to be sure but he was also hesitant at the same time as he said: "At least, uncle and aunty won't be too against me in the future, right?"
Yan Cheng couldn't help but chuckle.
His voice wasn't loud. In this space where someone was singing "Having a dream is great", only Chen Jinyao, who was sitting closest to him could hear him.
He no longer concealed his gloating gaze. Looking at him from a distance, he felt no urge to treat him nicely even if they came from the same roots. To put it bluntly, life was treating him way too good.
As they weren't talking about business matters, Yan Cheng felt relaxed and leaned back lazily, with a toothpick in his mouth, his right arm resting on the back of Chen Jinyao's chair. As a bystander, he was obviously enjoying the chaotic scene.
It wasn't until Chen Jinyao pinched his thigh under the table and stared at him fiercely, only then his expression, which deserved a good smack, was somewhat restrained.
The man slowly averted his gaze, his long black eyelashes trembling slightly. After a while, the tip of his tongue slit out slightly, and he licked his lower lip, "Hmph."
"......"
Chen Jinyao pursed her lips and didn't bother to pay further attention to him. She shifted her gaze to Luo Xiao again, "Don't worry, as long as you treat Jinlin well, I will definitely be your lobbyist."
She originally wanted to say that her parents weren't so unreasonable, but the words that were at the tip of her tongue were abruptly intercepted. Although her words would be rather comforting, it didn't seem very persuasive.
After a moment of silence, she asked, "Does Jinlin know about this?"
Luo Xiao shook his head, "I didn't tell her."
"But she knows about my business." He mentioned it to her before. At the time, Chen Jinlin was persistently offering to help, but he put her off with various excuses. "But she is smart, I think she probably guessed that something was up."
When he said that last sentence, there was a slight smile in his clear and energetic gaze.
Chen Jinyao was taken aback and smiled.
Then she kicked Yan Cheng lightly, Yan Cheng immediately returned to his senses, turned aside to look at her, blinked, his expression slightly dazed.
"Look at Luo Xiao." She leaned close to him and bit his ear.
She seized this opportunity, she had to let Yan Cheng look at his role model and learn from him.
In order to give earnest exhortations, Chen Jinyao sighed, "Ah, Jinlin has such good taste in men."
Yan Cheng is a clever person. How could he not understand what Chen Jinyao's words were implying? He glanced at the so-called culprit and curled his lips. Then he organized his thoughts and wanted to refute her, but found that Chen Jinyao had turned her gaze away from him, as if she sighed just for show.
"..........................."
Chen Jinyao: "Starting a business is very tiring and time-exhausting, I understand you, but I am more or less on Jinlin's side, so my thoughts are more selfish. No matter how busy your career is, you should always take some time out to accompany Jinlin."
"Girls think differently from boys. Girls are more attentive. The fact that you're working hard for both of you guys' future will for sure make her feel loved, but to be honest, you don't accompany her as often and rarely reply to her texts because you are so busy with work, this will make her lose that sense of security." Chen Jinyao tried to keep herself from sounding naggy, but no matter how casual she tried to sound, she still seemed rather serious in the end, and obviously, the moment her words fell, she was also aware of this.
