It was lively, very lively.
Three won created quite a show.
Xu Musen sat in the living room, watching the chattering group of girls; there were four, five including Xiao Su.
Xu Musen felt imnse pressure.
He wanted to peel an orange to eat, and after skillfully breaking it in half, he passed one half to An Nuannuan. Just as he was about to eat, Yao Mingyue coughed pointedly.
Xu Musen glanced at her, Yao Mingyue's gaze shifted from the half of the orange in An Nuannuan's hand and then casually glanced at him.
That little look said it all.
Xu Musen couldn't help but laugh inwardly, handing the other half of the orange to Yao Mingyue.
Satisfied, the petty girl humd contentedly.
Xu Musen picked up another orange, just peeled and ready for a bite, when another cough sounded, accompanied by the casual tapping of high heels on the floor.
Xu Musen turned to look at Zhu Yulan on the other side.
Dressed maturely, Zhu Yulan still exuded the aura of a high and mighty CEO, sitting elegantly on the sofa with her back straight and arms crossed, leisurely pushing up her gold-rimd glasses, now wearing the sa casual expression as Yao Mingyue had earlier.
Xu Musen chuckled, ready to feed the orange to himself.
Were they all playing obedience training here?
"Hey, is this how you treat your guests?"
Zhu Yulan, seeing him about to eat the fruit himself, beca impatient, her eyes slightly wide, almost breaking her composed CEO deanor.
Yao Mingyue chewed her orange loudly on the side, clearly enjoying the mont more than the sweetness of the orange.
Hahaha, just try to use the tricks I already trained Xu Musen to resist.
"Aren't you capable of taking one from the plate yourself?"
"I'm a guest, how could I take it without your permission?"
"Aren't you always so thick-skinned? The milk tea shop at your school is still keeping tabs on all the food and drinks you've mooched from them," Xu Musen laughed.
Zhu Yulan's pretty face couldn't help but turn red with a mixture of irritation and embarrassnt, especially when she caught a glimpse of Yao Mingyue, who was audibly munching next to her.
She knew that the more flustered she got, the happier so people would be.
Taking a deep breath, she turned her head and muttered,
"Tch, stingy, I traveled all the way here to celebrate the opening of your new store, and you can't even spare an orange..."
"Alright, alright, stop putting on an act."
Xu Musen, who was a soft touch, couldn't say no to a guest, and her traveling a long way deserved so acknowledgent.
He broke off another half of the orange in his hand and handed it to her.
Zhu Yulan, master of changing faces, took the orange, showing a haughty deanor, as if to say it was given willingly, and then stealthily glanced at Yao Mingyue.
Xu Musen looked at the other half of the orange in his hand and then at Zhao Lianmai, who had been silent this whole ti.
Fine, since he was giving them out, might as well give to everyone.
He handed the orange to Zhao Lianmai.
She looked at him, then slowly reached out to take it, breaking off a half to feed her younger sister first.
Zhu Yulan glared, finding the long coveted half of the orange in her hand not as sweet anymore.
An Nuannuan wasn't even worth ntioning, now that she was unparalleled by Xu Musen's side.
Yao Mingyue carried many titles and could be said to be of equal standing to Nuannuan in this household.
Zhu Yulan wisely stopped comparing herself to those two at this point, but Zhao Lianmai...
To be freely given without asking, it seed that her status had beco the lowest?
The more Zhu Yulan thought about it, the more depressed she got. She had even worn black stockings today; where was the promised bonus effect?
...
anwhile, in the kitchen.
"This girl nad Zhu Yulan isn't bad either, look at how mature she dresses, clearly from a wealthy family," said Mother Xu as she bustled around, occasionally looking back at the living room.
"Among these girls, do you see anyone who doesn't co from money or lack capability?" Father Xu also said cheerfully.
An Nuannuan, Yao Mingyue, and Zhu Yulan were all true heirs to wealthy families, and that girl nad Zhao Lianmai was also quite capable; her handling of the store's affairs these past few days proved her potential was imasurable.
"Don't say that. Since Musen smartened up in his senior year of high school, he's been surrounded by more and more girls, and they're all so pretty and capable."
"Isn't that a good thing? It proves our son has beco successful, and a successful man naturally attracts more outstanding won."
"Heh, you make it sound nice, but doesn't that attract too much attention? Wealth corrupts, doesn't it?"
Mother Xu's tone shifted as she turned to her husband.
Father Xu felt like he was caught in the crossfire: "Don't make wild accusations, I've never troubled anyone in my life."
"I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about your son."
Mother Xu gave him a look and then peered over at the few young girls in the living room, muttering, "Nuannuan is a good girl, and we've watched Ming Yue grow up; I have a feeling today's girl also cares quite a bit about our son... What if, over ti, your son can't hold back..."
"Hey, don't absolve yourself so readily right now, he's your son too, and you've always been the one in charge of his moral education."
"If we're talking about a daughter, I'll take responsibility, but your son is your problem!"
Father Xu said helplessly, "You worry too much. They're young and doing fine right now, and there won't be any problems in the future."
