Under One Person: God Profiler

"Spicy is delicious...exciting."

Feng Baobao gave a thumbs up, her face clearly saying "Strongly recommend!"

"You...you know each other?"

Zhuge Yue looked up and pointed between Xia Linyuan and Feng Baobao.

"do not know"

"Yes, we know each other..."

The two spoke in unison, but in different ways.

Zhuge Yue's expression became playful... Was something fishy going on? A whole bunch of melodramatic scenarios immediately popped into Zhuge Yue's head.

"Hey, Bao'er, people are eating, don't disturb them..."

A young man with a small braid stood up next to Feng Baobao. He glanced at Zhuge Yue and Xia Linyuan, but since Xia Linyuan was disguised, Zhang Chulan didn't recognize him immediately. He then spoke to Feng Baobao.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing also stood up and glanced in their direction...

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to have disturbed your meal. My sister Bao'er is much more hospitable..."

Zhang Chulan scratched the back of his head and gave Zhuge Yue an awkward smile.

Zhuge Yue smiled slightly, her every move exuding the charm of an intellectual woman: "It's alright, this young lady is quite likable."

Zhang Chulan was slightly lost in thought.

'An ordinary person! This is what a truly ordinary woman is like!!!'

Before anyone knew it, Feng Baobao ran up to Xia Linyuan and took out her phone to scan a QR code.

"Don't understand how to eat hot pot? Let me teach you."

"A super spicy hot pot base, duck blood, shrimp paste, and lots of green vegetables... Oh, and you absolutely have to order this crispy tripe, it's so delicious! Just pick it up with your chopsticks, dip it in and out seven or eight times, and it'll be cooked in no time..."

Feng Baobao gestured as she performed a pantomime. It was quite convincing.

Xia Linyuan's feelings were extremely complicated...

How did Feng Baobao recognize me...? Was it some kind of Qi Guan...?

"My goodness! This is someone else's dining table! How could you order food for them like this?!"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chulan rushed forward to stop it... but it was too late; the order had already been placed.

"I'll go return the food to you..."

Zhang Chulan, feeling embarrassed, said to Zhuge Yue. Then he walked towards the front desk.

“No need to return it…” Feng Baobao called out to Zhang Chulan, then looked at Xia Linyuan and said, “It’s delicious.”

Xia Linyuan sighed helplessly and looked innocently at Zhuge Yue:

"Then...would you like to try it?"

Seeing Xia Linyuan's expression, Zhuge Yue stopped gossiping and figured Feng Baobao had probably mistaken him for someone else. So, she went along with Feng Baobao's suggestion to help Xia Linyuan out of the predicament, saying, "Of course... I'd also like to try some of the dishes this young lady recommends..."

Feng Baobao's eyes shone as she nodded vigorously.

At this moment, a young waiter came forward carrying hot pot broth. Looking at the complicated seating arrangement, Zhang Chulan and the others said softly, "Um...this is table number 13..."

"here."

Wang also raised his hand in acknowledgment.

These people ordered a three-flavor hot pot: spicy, mushroom, and bone broth...

Xia Linyuan could tell whose taste each flavor corresponded to with just a glance. Zhuge Qing, who lived in the south, ordered the mushroom soup; Wang Ye, the Daoist, ordered the bone broth; and Feng Baobao ordered the spicy soup... As for Zhang Chulan... he probably ate all three flavors...

Zhuge Qing squinted and carefully examined Zhuge Yue for a while...

He then whispered to the waiter, "Put the bill for the table in front of me on my tab..."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yue turned around and was somewhat stunned to see Zhuge Qing's appearance; the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed...

"You are..."

"The Ninth Prince from the 'Pretty Oppa with Long Legs' drama?"

Zhuge Qing's expression froze, and he sighed, speechless, "Yes, that was me..."

"My name is Zhuge Qing. This should be our first meeting... If I'm not mistaken, your name is Zhuge Yue... Let me think... should I call you 'sister'?"

A glint of light flashed in Xia Linyuan's eyes...

Zhuge Yue was wary and frowned slightly.

"Yes, I should call you 'sister,' and my father calls Yunhui 'uncle.' So we should be of the same generation..."

Zhuge Qing said calmly, while Wang Ye, standing beside him, chuckled inwardly. "Oh ho, I even managed to find a sister while having a meal. The Zhuge family's bloodline has spread quite widely!"

"..."

Zhuge Yue remained silent. Her first thought was to leave immediately, but considering that Xia Linyuan was an ordinary person and that Zhuge Qing might make things difficult for him, she abandoned the idea.

Zhuge Qing noticed that Zhuge Yue's expression was not good, and quickly said, "I didn't mean anything by it. It was Granny Qi who mentioned you to me and showed me your picture."

"Grandma Qi is old and doesn't know how to use a mobile phone, nor does she have your contact information. So she asked me to look for you... but unfortunately, I couldn't find you..."

"My fifth grandfather still has some belongings at the Marquis of Wu's residence. I hope you can go and retrieve them when you have time..."

Chapter 122 Family members, who knows!

Upon hearing the name "Seventh Granny," Zhuge Yue's mind settled down.

Because of Zhuge Yunhui, Zhuge Yue didn't have much goodwill towards the Zhuge family. She even viewed members of the Zhuge family as if they were ruthless villains. However, she treated Seventh Granny differently...

"Seventh Grandma. Grandpa Yunhui said she was Grandma's close friend, but where did she get my photo? My father?"

Zhuge Yue pondered for a moment, then composed herself and replied, "Okay, I'll definitely retrieve Grandpa's belongings when I have time..."

"That's wonderful! I'll tell Grandma Seven the good news when I get home..."

Zhuge Qing smiled slightly, his eyes narrowing into slits, making him look like a fox.

"sorry to bother you."

Zhuge Yue smiled dignifiedly.

She then sat back down and looked at Xia Linyuan with a helpless smile: "I'm sorry, this is some family matter."

Xia Linyuan shook his head slightly: "The siblings reunited? That's a good thing..."

Zhuge Yue smiled but remained silent.

Not long after, the soup base and dishes that Feng Baobao had thoughtfully ordered for the two of them were brought over by the waiter, who added water and lit the fire.

Zhuge Yue thanked the waiter.

Waiting for the base ingredients to boil

Zhuge Yue said to Xia Linyuan, "Let's eat...aren't you hungry...?"

Xia Linyuan nodded....

------

Outside the hot pot restaurant.

Gao Zhan peered through the car window at Xia Linyuan with envy.

"Beautiful women to keep me company... hot pot to eat... sweating profusely while eating... tying my hair... all wet..." Gao Zhan swallowed hard.

Gao Yuan, on the other hand, looks down on his good-for-nothing older brother. He's always envious of others having girlfriends, yet he constantly calls his anime/manga character his wife...

Gao Yuan glanced around and, finding no suspicious vehicles following him, then looked towards the hot pot restaurant.

This is incredible.

His rugged brows furrowed.

"Gao Zhan! Don't you think that guy is Zhang Chulan?!"

"Zhang Chulan? Where is he?"

"It's the seat next to Brother Xia! Four people!"

"Holy crap, is this guy really shameless?! Notify everyone, quickly send this to the group! Damn it, I really don't know what this kid has that can beat my Brother Xia?!"

Gao Zhan cursed and opened his phone's camera, adjusted the focus to twenty times, and took an ugly photo of Zhang Chulan's face.

In the photo, Zhang Chulan has large nostrils, red oil stains on the corners of his mouth, and is eating cooked mutton with chopsticks, his huge mouth shoving it into his mouth. He looks extremely slovenly.

I then forwarded it to the East China work group.

Gao Zhan: [Family members, does anyone know what happened? We ran into Zhang Chulan while on a mission!]

The message was sent to the work group but did not elicit any response.

But the Gao brothers knew this was just the calm before the storm. Xia Ge was someone the uncles and aunties of the East China Company had watched grow up. He was irresistible to everyone, young and old... Zhang Chulan's final sneak attack on Xia Ge must have made countless company seniors grit their teeth in frustration!

Sure enough, not long after, the work group chat started buzzing with messages like a torrential downpour...

What's going on? Is Master Dou going to remarry?
