Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested Chapter 108: Also Wants the Same Kind of Bodyguard
"Aren’t you calling Miss Yun right now, Mr. Lu!"
For so reason, when Lu Yunque heard Yun Zijin say "Mr. Lu" this ti, he couldn’t help but feel it was different from all the tis before.
"My mistake. How about I call you by your na from now on? I’ve heard your friends do that."
Lu Yunque had long wanted to change this form of address. He had put up with it for so long and finally couldn’t bear it a mont longer.
"That’s fine. So should I start calling you Brother Lu, like Mr. Li and the others do?"
’Calling him just by his na feels a bit too intimate,’ Yun Zijin thought. ’I’m not quite used to that.’
’Maybe "Brother Lu" would work too?’ Lu Yunque mused.
However, that was just a passing thought. Outwardly, he nodded calmly and said, "Either is fine. Whatever you’re comfortable with."
Lu Yunque wasn’t holding out for an intimate nickna anymore. As long as he could get rid of "Mr. Lu," he’d consider it a win.
The two female designers, who had been standing stiffly to the side, were rendered speechless as they listened to Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque go back and forth over sothing as simple as a nickna.
’It’s just a na. Is all this really necessary?’
"Hey! You’re all out here! And there’s still fruit!"
Li Yuexing, who had erged at so point, spotted the half-eaten fruit platter on the table, and his eyes lit up.
"I’m going to get a fork."
With that, he turned back to the kitchen, only to dash out again a mont later.
"Zijing, when did you cut the fruit? Why didn’t you call ? My fruit-cutting skills are one of a kind!"
As he spoke, Li Yuexing shalessly speared piece after piece of fruit with his fork.
"I cut it!"
Lu Yunque’s mood soured as he watched a corner of the fruit platter visibly disappear. ’If he wants to eat so badly, why can’t he cut it himself!’
!!!
"No way! Brother Lu, you actually know how to cut fruit?"
’It’s not every day you get to eat fruit cut by Lu Yunque,’ Li Yuexing thought as he ate another piece. ’I’d better have a few more. Every bite is a bonus.’
"What are you two doing just standing here?"
Li Yuexing still didn’t know what had just happened, so his attitude toward the two won was relatively gentle. Especially since one of them was from the Li Family, he was naturally a bit more affable.
"They said they prefer to stand. Apparently, sitting down makes them uncomfortable."
’No way was Lu Yunque letting them off that easily. The only reason he hadn’t thrown them out already was because he’d been practicing Buddhism lately, and his temper had improved considerably.’
Li Yuexing looked skeptical, but when the two won nodded eagerly, he ultimately chose to believe Lu Yunque.
"Well, that’s a pretty unique quirk you’ve got there!"
There was so much he could say, but Li Yuexing couldn’t help but let that one jab slip out.
"You lot out there! Stop standing around like statues and get in here to serve the food!"
Xu Yunzhou’s voice bood across Yunhe Garden. The three of them sheepishly rubbed their noses.
"Let’s go. Ti to serve the dishes."
Yun Zijin, who had only managed to snap half of the green beans the entire ti, was imdiately captivated by the aroma wafting from the kitchen as she stepped back inside.
"What are you making?"
Yun Zijin stared at the at in the pot, her eyes practically glued to it.
"Dongpo Pork. Use this to serve it, and cover it to keep it warm."
There were a lot of dishes today, but Xu Yunzhou was the only one at the stove. If they didn’t keep things warm, so dishes would be cold before the last one was even finished.
"Understood!"
Yun Zijin took the plate and lid Xu Yunzhou indicated, carefully placed the lid on top, and carried it out to the large table.
Watching from the corner of his eye, Xu Yunzhou confird that Yun Zijin hadn’t dropped anything and breathed an inward sigh of relief.
After the first dish was brought to the table, the others followed one by one as they were finished.
The two designers, who were "serving their punishnt" by standing, watched helplessly as the table filled up, leaving no seats for them. A flicker of regret crossed their faces.
But it was only a flicker. They weren’t truly sorry—at most, they regretted being careless enough to be overheard by Lu Yunque.
When Xu Yunzhou ca out last after finishing the cooking, he saw the two designers standing stiffly off to the side and frowned.
"What’s with you two?"
Knowing the manners of Lu Yunque and his friends, it was impossible that they would just let two won stand by without a seat.
And yet, here they were. Xu Yunzhou could guess that the two must have done sothing to upset the others.
"Chef... Chef Xu, we’re all right, we..."
The woman’s eyes reddened as she spoke, and she trailed off, unable to finish, cutting a pitiful figure.
Xu Yunzhou took a step back, his pupils practically quaking. "What’s with that look? Anyone who didn’t know what was going on would think I did sothing to you!
"Fine, either eat or get out!"
’This is Yunhe Garden, my territory. And if you piss off, I don’t care if you’re the Heavenly King himself—you can get the hell out!’
The female designers: ...
’This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go.’
’Yun Zijin was completely unfazed, while they didn’t even have a seat at the table!’
But the two designers weren’t about to give up such a golden opportunity. In the end, they chose to remain standing off to the side—unable to eat, but unwilling to leave.
"Hey, Little Yunyun! I hear your bodyguards are pretty impressive?"
The sight of those two was really getting on Xu Yunzhou’s nerves. He couldn’t very well get physical and drag them out himself, so his only option was to ask Yun Zijin and her bodyguards for help.
Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow and shot Zero One a look.
’Having two killjoys lingering around really is bad for the appetite.’
Zero One gave a slight nod and walked toward the two designers, stopping about three feet away. "Will you be leaving on your own, or would you like my assistance?"
If he had to "assist," the manner of their departure would no longer be up to them.
Following behind Zero One were Ling Er, Zero Three, Zero Four, Zero Five, Ling Lu, and Ling Qi.
Seven tall, imposing n were staring them down with unfriendly expressions. It didn’t matter how handso they were; the effect was terrifying.
"We... We... We’ll go on our own."
Now, staying put was no longer an option. Beyond the bodyguards, the two won also noticed the cold glint in i Lin’s blue eyes.
For so reason, a sudden chill ran down their spines.
Any feelings of jealousy or ambition seed utterly pointless now. All they wanted was to get out of this suffocating place as fast as possible.
Lu Yunque, however, glanced in i Lin’s direction, a flicker of doubt in his mind, but he didn’t voice his question.
’My relationship with Yun Zijin hasn’t reached the point where I can ask such personal questions yet. Maintaining a proper distance is essential in any relationship.’
"The eyesores are finally gone! My thanks to Zijing’s bodyguards!
"I’ll down this drink. You all can do as you please!"
Li Yuexing picked up his whiskey and downed it in one gulp.
Knowing the nature of their work, he didn’t insist that they drink alcohol.
Zero One and the others didn’t drink, but they returned the gesture by downing a cup of tea.
"Little Yunyun, where did you find these bodyguards? Are there any more where they ca from? How about you introduce a few to ?"
’Xu Yunzhou had been eyeing them greedily ever since he saw Zero One’s team. How impressive would it be to have bodyguards like them! They’re nothing like those other guards who are all brawn and no skill!’
"I’m sorry. They were specially trained for by one of my elders. There aren’t any more to spare."
