Chapter 427 - 441: You can still laugh? What kind of look is that?
Han Xi quickly stood up and grabbed him, whispering to calm him down, "This is a public place. If you don’t want to be in the headlines tomorrow, you better restrain yourself a bit."
Yan Xiao, panting heavily, was pulled back into the chair by Han Xi.
Yu Ye shrugged indifferently, thinking he’s been kicked by him enough times, he’s quite used to it by now.
Chu Ci was truly at her wit’s end; this was the most exhausting meal she’s ever had.
"Brother Yu, I’m really sorry, no idea what’s gotten into this brat today, please don’t hold it against him."
"It’s no problem. Since he doesn’t want me here, I won’t disturb you all. I’ll invite you out for a meal another day."
Yu Ye patted the dirt off his pants from Yan Xiao’s kick and got up from the chair.
"Really sorry for today." Chu Ci also stood up from her chair and apologized.
"You all continue eating, I’ll be off now."
After watching Yu Ye leave, Chu Ci finally sat back at the dining table, looking at Yan Xiao speechlessly, "What in the world is wrong with you?"
Li Manman looked bewildered at the group at the table, unclear about what she was hearing.
Yu Ye had just been kicked in public and still managed to smile, making one wonder if his brain was filled with mush.
Yan Xiao nodded awkwardly, "I’m a real man, just seeing that guy makes me sick and want to puke."
Han Xi patted Yan Xiao’s shoulder sympathetically, "Maybe you should quickly find a girlfriend, so he would give up sooner."
"How can you just randomly find a girlfriend, I originally wanted you to be mine but you’re already Lu Jinghan’s."
"Then you might as well give in, he seems to really like you."
Han Xi leaned on the table with one arm, speaking carelessly.
Li Manman was getting more confused as she listened, completely lost in their conversation, "Can someone tell me what exactly you all are talking about?"
"Yu Ye likes this brat, he probably wants to turn him gay."
Chu Ci whispered very quietly, afraid of being overheard, after all, they’re public figures, and sometimes negative gossip can ruin a career.
"Oh gosh, Yan Xiao, you have great charm."
Li Manman had a look of disbelief mixed with some schadenfreude.
"Still able to laugh, what kind of look is that?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn’t laugh." Li Manman covered her mouth, nearly causing herself internal discomfort.
Han Xi glanced at the watch on her wrist, "Let’s hurry up and eat; I have to get back to work at the hospital."
"No one is allowed to speak of this incident."
Yan Xiao said while picking up his chopsticks to eat, what if the people in the circle found out, would he still be able to show his face?
Chu Ci nodded seriously, "Don’t worry, we’ll keep it a secret for you."
Afterwards, nobody brought up the matter again, treating it as an unpleasant little episode.
After the meal, Li Manman and Chu Ci drove Han Xi to the hospital, then headed to the mall.
These days, Chu Ci had been stuck at home so much she was almost going stale, she started to miss her working days.
The car stopped at the mall entrance, Li Manman got out from the driver’s seat and linked arms with Chu Ci, "Feng Yi’s not home, tonight I decided to go out and have fun, do you want to come?"
"I’m a pregnant woman now, only suitable for quiet things like reading books and gardening, regretfully can’t join."
"Whatever."
Chu Ci raised a hand to press her baseball cap lower, "First come with me to look at clothes, my belly’s starting to show, can’t fit into my old clothes anymore."
