298 I Like to Sit Beside You
“Okay.” Although Yuan Dehai found it strange that his son had to be responsible, no matter what, now that the deal was done, he would have more say in front of those old guys in the future. He hurriedly winked at his secretary and asked him to pay for the bill next door.
However, when the secretary went to pay the bill, he was told that the bill next door had been paid long ago.
Yuan Dehai could only leave regretfully.
When Nangong Jue reached the entrance of Cining Pavilion, he was stopped by the bodyguards.
Hei Ying immediately wanted to go forward.
Nangong Jue raised his hand to signal the other party to leave. Then, he smiled. “I’m Nangong Jue. I’m here to visit Auntie Qiao. Please inform her.”
He could not use force here. Moreover, this great-aunt of the Qiao family was not afraid of force. After so many years, not many people dared to use force against her. Those who were blind would die without knowing how.
Qiao Zi, who was in the room, naturally heard the sound and couldn’t help but frown. “Why is this kid here? My whereabouts this time are confidential.”
“Someone invited him next door,” Le Yao explained. “I greeted him at the door just now. He must have seen Brother Qiao and guessed that Auntie was here too.”
“Then let him in.” Qiao Zi nodded. As long as he didn’t chase after her on purpose.
“Auntie Qiao.” After Nangong Jue entered, he glanced at Le Yao and nodded respectfully at Qiao Zi.
“Ah Jue, long time no see. You’ve become more and more mature.” Qiao Zi smiled. Although she hated He Rong and didn’t like Nangong Rongyao, to be honest, the children of the Nangong family were not bad. They were classic examples of good bamboo shoots.
“Thank you for your praise, Auntie Qiao.” Nangong Jue smiled. “Can I sit down?”
Le Yao frowned. Was this guy not planning to leave?
“Have a seat.” Qiao Zi naturally wouldn’t play petty with the younger generation, let alone be stingy with a meal.
Nangong Jue eagerly went over and moved a chair himself. Then, he placed it beside Le Yao and sat down.
“There’s a seat over there.” Le Yao frowned.
“I like to sit beside you.” Nangong Jue didn’t hide his thoughts at all. “I can help you peel prawns in this way.”
“No need. I have my own hands.” Le Yao shook her head and refused.
“It’s inconvenient for you because you have your nails done.” Nangong Jue was very stubborn. “I’m willing to serve…”
“There’s really no need.” As Le Yao spoke, she picked up a prawn and peeled it in a few moves. Then, she stuffed it into her mouth and chewed noisily. “I didn’t do my nails anymore. The nail polish contains chemicals and can easily cause cancer.”
Looking at Le Yao’s dirty nails, the corners of Nangong Jue’s mouth twitched. Was this woman not giving him face?
Le Yao peeled another one and stuffed it into her mouth. “So, Sir Jue, you can go over there.”
“You don’t need me to peel the prawns. Then I can help you pick up food and pour water.” Nangong Jue smiled ingratiatingly. He didn’t believe that there was nothing he couldn’t do.
Le Yao smiled and said, “This hotel is high-end. There’s a 10% service fee. The waiter is more professional than you in pouring water.” She raised her hand to signal.
A young man in a palace suit walked over with a big-mouthed teapot. He opened the cover bowl in front of Le Yao and spun the big-mouthed teapot in his hand in the air twice. Then, he flipped over and poured hot water into the cover bowl from afar. The moment it was full, he stopped without spilling a drop of water.
