Yin Ruijue thought for a while and said, “Yes, that’s true. Just based on the reputation of the Ye family’s little princess, no one would dare to do anything to you. Indeed, you’re more suitable for him. It’s easier…”

The smile on Ye Qingqiu’s face faded.

She fell silent for a while before retracting her hand and leaning back against the chair. With a smile on her face, she glanced sideways at the boy beside Yin Ruijue.

“Do you like beautiful and troublesome girlfriends?”

The boy was caught off guard by the sudden question. He thought for a while before nodding.

“Right.”

At first, she could still be considered to have a personality. But after some time, she felt that it was quite annoying.

Ye Qingqiu’s lips twitched and she looked at Yin Ruijue. “You too.”

Yin Ruijue crossed his legs and leaned against the back of the chair. Without hesitation, he replied, “Of course.”

Ye Qingqiu looked at his frivolous look and said softly.

“Then do you think I’m more suitable for him or you?”

Yin Ruijue turned to look at the boy who had just been questioned by Ye Qingqiu.

Her lips twitched and she quickly reached out to stop him.

“You… stop! In the past, I would definitely pursue you, but now you’re Li Tingshen’s woman. As the saying goes, you can’t bully your brother’s wife. Don’t harm me.”

Ye Qingqiu maintained her posture and expression. “You mean I’m more suitable for him?”

Yin Ruijue’s eyebrows twitched. “Don’t say anything.”

If Li Tingshen knew about this, his face would turn black.

“Why?” Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips, her carefree smile looking gentle and soft.

“Actually, it’s not just you and him. I think most men like their girlfriends to be beautiful and convenient. Those who are beautiful can bring them out to boost their reputation. Those who are convenient can give you absolute freedom. They have the ability to take care of your daily needs. They can even take care of you meticulously. You don’t cry or make a fuss. You’re obedient and obedient. If you’re happy, you can give them some gifts. If you’re unhappy, it’s best not to appear in front of you. You can do whatever you want… Uh… What else is there?”

She smiled and her tone was light.

His casual and heartless look sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

She seemed to be right, but after chewing for a while, she felt that something was wrong.

“Thinking about it… Li Tingshen is no different from you.”

Cold sweat broke out on Yin Ruijue’s forehead.

He felt that he had hit the nail on the head this time.

Something must have happened between Ye Qingqiu and Li Tingshen.

Why did he have to mention Li Tingshen in front of her?

She couldn’t continue chatting with Ye Qingqiu. This woman couldn’t eat.

Xu Qingzhi and Chi Yaoyao walked over with a glass of juice each. Just as they sat down beside Yin Ruijue, he hurriedly said,

“Why do you only want your own? What about mine? I’m thirsty too.”

Xu Qingzhi glanced at him and said, “You didn’t say that you wanted to drink it.”

“Who drove for more than an hour to bring you here? Do you have a conscience?”

Xu Qingzhi couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. “Get whatever you want to drink. It’s my treat.”

Yin Ruijue hurriedly got up and left.

Xu Qingzhi sat in his seat and leaned against the French windows. Opposite Ye Qingqiu, there was an endless sea of flowers.

Chi Yaoyao followed Yin Ruijue to get ice cream.

Xu Qingzhi was wearing a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans. Her long hair was tied into a simple bun, looking neat and refreshing.

In her impression, she had always dressed in such a simple and down-to-earth manner.

She was the daughter of the Xu family in Ping Cheng City, but she didn’t put on any airs outside.

However, she had grown up in a wealthy materialistic environment, so she had a firm grasp on her temperament.

She was famous for having a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

Thinking of the eldest daughter of the Shen family, she looked cold and aloof. It was quite surprising to have such a good friend by her side.

After staring at Xu Qingzhi for a while, she stood up and walked around the dining table to sit beside her.

Xu Qingzhi looked at her warily. “What’s the matter?”

Ye Qingqiu supported her face with her hand and looked at Xu Qingzhi’s side profile with a carefree smile.

“Can’t I sit beside you?”

Xu Qingzhi took a sip of fruit juice and turned to look at her with a faint smile. “It’s fine. Who do you have in your eyes?”

Ye Qingqiu blinked and suddenly laughed.

“Sounds like I’m a bad person.”

“It’s alright.”

Seeing her calm attitude, Ye Qingqiu smiled and didn’t say anything else.

Forget it, she was someone else’s friend.

Xu Wenxuan returned with a transparent glass bowl in his hand. He placed it in front of Ye Qingqiu.

Inside were a few ice cream balls—pink, white, yellow, green, purple, and brown. They were put together and sprinkled with jam.

“We might have to wait a while for lunch. I don’t know which flavor you like. If you don’t like it, you can keep it.”

Seeing that Ye Qingqiu didn’t move, Xu Wenxuan continued, “I heard that it’s very useful for girls to eat desserts when they’re unhappy. The effect of ice cream is better.”

There was a commotion around them.

“Class monitor, I’m not in a good mood today.”

“Me too…”

Xu Wenxuan was helpless. He ignored them and said, “Go and order. It’s my treat.”

The girls cheered and left happily.

Yin Ruijue returned with the juice and heard a few girls chatting happily.

Her words left a deep impression on him.

“I told you that the class monitor likes Ye Qingqiu. She really knows how to make a girl happy. If it were me, even if I’m her boyfriend, I wouldn’t be able to resist cheating on her.”

Yin Ruijue was puzzled. When he returned, he saw Ye Qingqiu sitting in front of Xu Qingzhi, digging ice cream with a spoon.

He had just seen someone leaving with a bowl of ice cream. He didn’t expect the last owner of the ice cream to be Ye Qingqiu.

Class monitor?

The young master of the Xu family.

She raised an eyebrow. Interesting.

Lunch was served one after another. Xu Wenxuan instructed the waiter to serve the dishes.

Some of the dishes were obviously arranged for Ye Qingqiu.

Xu Wenxuan remained calm on the surface, but Yin Ruijue noticed something.

During the meal, Ye Qingqiu only picked up a few dishes.

The pampered young lady was probably not used to the food outside. Her expression was a little conflicted at first.

She tried other dishes along the way, but in the end, she focused on the few dishes in front of her.

Her expression was a little better.

Yin Ruijue put down his chopsticks and leaned against the chair opposite Ye Qingqiu. He held his phone with one hand and scanned the messages sent by various people. Then, he clicked on Li Tingshen’s chat and sent a photo of the dishes.

Then, she started to reply to others. After a minute, the messages she sent to Li Tingshen seemed to have disappeared.

Yin Ruijue clicked his tongue and cursed Li Tingshen.

Her slender fingers tapped on the screen and she sent a message to Li Tingshen.

“I’m very curious. Do you know which dishes suit Ye Qingqiu’s taste?”
