My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 333 - 296: Match_3

So when they saw Yun Qi appear in the cafeteria, the high-ranking executives who were eating were petrified, hurriedly swallowing the food in their mouths, and stood up in a flustered manner to greet him, "Hello, President Yun.""Mm, carry on with your meals, no need to be so formal," Yun Qi smiled gently, responding indifferently, his gaze sweeping over everyone one by one.

Meanwhile, at a small long table in the distance, Yun Xi and the other two were sitting. Upon seeing Yun Qi, they were all stunned, especially Yun Xi, who was holding a pork chop with her chopsticks. When she saw him, it fell onto her plate, and she looked at the tall, handsome figure in disbelief with wide eyes: "Brother? What brings you here?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Qi looked over, his gaze glancing at Yun Xi first, then catching sight of Ye Lingran beside her. He began walking over slowly; before he could speak, Yun Xi curiously asked, "Did the sun rise from the west today? Why did you suddenly come to the cafeteria? Surely you’re not here to eat?"

"Why not?" Yun Qi gave her a meaningful glance, a refined smile on his face.

Yun Xi stiffened, gave an awkward smile, suddenly realized something, and quickly stood up with her tray: "Of course, you can, more than welcome. Here, please sit first, I’ll get you some food." After saying that, she placed her tray next to Cen Jin’s, obviously intending to give up her seat for him.

Yun Qi and Ye Lingran exchanged a glance, a mischievous glint in their eyes, then greeted Cen Jin with a smile before sitting down next to Ye Lingran.

"I received the information you submitted online today," Yun Qi smiled at Cen Jin, speaking softly.

"Ah, so fast? Lingran and I came here originally for a test, but after running into Yun Xi, we found out you canceled the test this morning and said you’d bring us to the cafeteria to experience your food," Cen Jin laughed, his tone slightly teasing and playful.

"How’s it taste? If it’s no good, I’ll have someone improve it," Yun Qi raised an eyebrow, smiling as he asked in return.

Ye Lingran sat by the side, watching Yun Qi’s gentle and refined smile, her eyes dimming a little as she quietly looked away.

"Mm, it’s quite good; just now Lingran said it was delicious!" Cen Jin nodded, deliberately looking at Ye Lingran.

Suddenly being mentioned, Ye Lingran was taken aback. She raised her bewildered and uneasy eyes to look at the two of them: "Uh, yes... it is quite good."

Yun Qi turned his head to look at her, smiling, and just then Yun Xi came over with a tray, pushing it in front of Yun Qi before sitting down beside Cen Jin: "Still, brother, I’m quite surprised you actually came here to eat today. Could it be you’re here because someone in particular is here?" she said, casting a particular glance at Ye Lingran.

Her glance was blatantly obvious, and Ye Lingran gave Yun Xi a resentful glare, her face turning completely red.

Cen Jin heard this and couldn’t help but lower his head and laugh, but he didn’t say anything.

"The report I asked you to submit yesterday, have you finished it?" Yun Qi, without changing his expression, took a bite of his food, then, nonchalant, cast a glance at Yun Xi, still smiling gently with no sign of displeasure on his face.

Yun Xi’s mouth twitched slightly; she feared nothing but her brother’s smile, which hinted at hidden daggers. She silently turned her head away. She hadn’t written a single word of the report, and if he hadn’t brought it up, she would have completely forgotten about it.

Seeing Yun Xi’s guilty look as she buried her head in eating silently, Yun Qi already guessed: "The mid-month report is due soon. If you don’t submit it on time, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Yun Xi pouted nonchalantly: "It’s not like you’re usually merciful anyway. When you get married, I’ll make sure my sister-in-law helps me get back at you."

Ye Lingran was startled. Hearing the word ’married,’ her heart involuntarily skipped a beat, her heartbeat suddenly quickening. She inexplicably became a bit anxious, gripping her chopsticks tighter, but she didn’t dare to look up at him, afraid her expression might reveal her current thoughts.
