Xu Kai picked up some food for Wu Hongying and said, "Hongying, try this diced chicken. It looks delicious. Try it."

"Hongying, try this boiled pork slices. Their boiled pork slices are delicious, and the meat is very tender. You try it. If it’s delicious, I’ll bring you here next time." Wei Yihang said with a smile.

After being brainwashed by Xu Kai along the way, he unknowingly changed the way he addressed Wu Hongying from "Comrade Wu" to "Hongying".

Hearing this, Wu Hongying smiled faintly at Wei Yihang, "Okay, thank you."

Xu Kai was upset that Wu Hongying only said thank you to Wei Yihang. He glanced at Wei Yihang calmly and picked up the dishes faster. Wei Yihang also sped up his movements when he saw this.

So, the two of them seemed to be competing, and in just a few seconds, Wu Hongying's bowl was filled with food.

Wu Hongying: ...

"Okay, okay, stop picking food for me and just eat your own food." She said helplessly.

Seeing that Wu Hongying looked unhappy, Xu Kai quickly turned the chopsticks that were reaching for her bowl and put the diced chicken into his own bowl.

Wei Yihang smiled gently at Wu Hongying, "Okay, you should eat quickly too. You are too thin. You need to eat more."

No matter what era it was, there was no woman who didn't like being praised for being thin. Wu Hongying couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "Yeah."

Xu Kai didn't understand why Wu Hongying was so nice to this old man. He snorted, put the diced chicken in his mouth as if it were Wei Yihang, and started chewing hard.

Hongying must have been blinded by the illusion created by this old man. He had to let Hongying see this old man clearly!

Xu Kai forced a smile and looked at Wei Yihang.

"Comrade Wei, please eat quickly. You have been talking to Hongying all the time, which is delaying her meal."

Wei Yihang was suddenly choked up, "I'm sorry, Hongying, I was inconsiderate just now. I won't talk to you anymore. Please eat your meal." After saying that, he looked at Wu Hongying with a guilty look on his face.

His reaction immediately made Xu Kai laugh out of anger. This old man is really good at acting. It seems as if he was bullied by him.

Wu Hongying gave Wei Yihang a soothing smile, then looked at Xu Kai somewhat awkwardly. She knew in her heart that he spoke so harshly to Wei Yihang because he was jealous, but she didn't want to make things more awkward.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm the situation.

\"Xu Kai didn't mean that, Comrade Wei, don't mind it. Sometimes he speaks without thinking, he has no ill intentions, he just wants us to have a meal and he cares about you." Wu Hongying advised softly.

Although Wu Hongying was trying to persuade Wei Yihang, Xu Kai felt happy because Wu Hongying was on his side. It seemed that in Hongying's heart, he was still closer.

Woohoo~ happy.

After hearing what Wu Hongying said, Wei Yihang's guilt disappeared a lot. He seemed not to hear the partiality in Wu Hongying's words. He chuckled and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly."

Wu Hongying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this and started to finish the "little pile" in her bowl.

Seeing that his words had worked, Xu Kai curled his lips in satisfaction. He picked up a piece of boiled pork and put it in his mouth. He felt that it tasted better than before.

However, he did not remain happy for long. After a while, Wei Yihang and Wu Hongying started chatting again. Xu Kai looked at Wei Yihang like a pug, wagging his tail and begging for mercy in front of Wu Hongying, while Wu Hongying chatted with him with a smile.

Looking at the bright smile on Wu Hongying's face, Xu Kai's heart sank. This smile had not appeared on his face for a long time.

Why is Hongying always so gentle to Wei Yihang and never even smiles at him?

Did Wu Hongying really have no feelings towards him at all?

Thinking of this, Xu Kai felt even more depressed. His appetite was completely gone. The food that he had just enjoyed was delicious, but now it tasted like chewing wax.

Xu Kai quickly finished the rice in his bowl and put down his chopsticks.

He put down his chopsticks with a loud noise, and the three people at the table all looked over.

Xu Kai pulled the corner of his mouth and said to the three people, "I'm done eating, you guys take your time eating, the room is too stuffy, I'll go outside for a while."

Wang Yanyan nodded blankly, "Okay."

Watching Xu Kai's back as he left, Wu Hongying unconsciously tightened the hand holding the chopsticks. She said nothing more, but just quickened her eating pace.

Wei Yihang's eyes flickered as he looked at Wu Hongying's reaction.

After this episode, the three people at the table stopped talking and the meal ended quickly.

After Wei Yihang finished his meal, he went to the front desk to pay the bill. As soon as he took out the money and ticket, he was told that the bill had already been paid.

Wei Yihang looked at the man standing outside the window and raised his eyebrows.

He nodded to the waiter and returned to his seat.

Wu Hongying: "Are we leaving now?"

Wei Yihang: "Have you finished eating?"

Wu Hongying and Wang Yanyan both nodded.

Wei Yihang said calmly, "Okay, let's go. Comrade Xu may be getting impatient waiting."

Wu Hongying looked at the man standing tall outside the window. She felt that Wei Yihang was wrong. Xu Kai would not be impatient. Although he was usually careless and seemed out of touch, he was very patient with his friends, had a good temper and was very loyal.

For the first time, Wu Hongying discovered that Xu Kai had so many advantages. Ran Ran was right, she seemed to have been blinded by her own prejudice against Xu Kai.

At the door, Xu Kai was staring blankly at something not far away. The next moment, he heard footsteps getting closer and closer behind him.

He turned around and was a little surprised when he saw the three familiar people. Did they finish eating so quickly?

"Why did you come out so soon?" Xu Kai asked with a faint smile.

Just now in the hotel, Xu Kai was feeling very lost. After coming out to get some fresh air, Xu Kai thought a lot. Regardless of whether Hongying liked Wei Yihang or not, at least she was not with Wei Yihang yet. He still had a chance, so he couldn't give up.

He has to hold on a little longer, what if he succeeds?

After figuring it out, Xu Kai felt much better.

Even when he saw Wei Yihang standing next to Wu Hongying at this moment, he was not as angry as before.

Wei Yihang: "I came out after I finished eating."

Xu Kai nodded, "Comrade Wei, please go back first. I'll take the two girls home. We live nearby, so it's on the way."

This time, Wei Yihang did not raise any objections. He turned to look at Wu Hongying and said with a smile: "Hongying, be careful when you go back. Next time we have time, we can have dinner and watch a movie together."

Wu Hongying smiled faintly, "Okay, but the factory may be a little busy at the moment, let's make an appointment when we have time."

Wu Hongying didn't lie. The factory's cooked food sales have been getting better and better recently, and there have been a lot more orders. They will be busy for a while before they can recruit more workers.

After this time of getting along, Wu Hongying felt that Wei Yihang was indeed quite good and she could spend more time with him. However, before that, she had to resolve Xu Kai's issue first and she had to think clearly about her feelings for Xu Kai.

Xu Kai looked at the two people who were reluctant to say goodbye to each other, lowered his head, and smiled to himself where no one could see.
