Luo Shuiyao had her back to Dujuan, completely unaware of her thoughts. If she knew, she would definitely laugh and say, "Dujuan, you're so bold! I hate me so much, and you want to bring us together."

Ye Yunzhou was keenly aware of Du Juan's scrutiny. He glanced at her with a subtle sternness in his eyes.

When Du Juan met his gaze, she shuddered and felt an inexplicable tension in her heart.

She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look around. She secretly regretted her own impulsiveness. She hadn't expected the young man's eyes to be so sharp. She stood silently behind Luo Shuiyao, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

Ye Yunzhou, after withdrawing his gaze, set his eyes on Luo Shuiyao again. His expression softened a bit, but because of his cold face, it was not very obvious.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Luo Shuiyao said, "Let's go up quickly."

Then she turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, the food from Qingyou Pavilion is served."

Qingyou Pavilion was the private room she had just reserved.

The shopkeeper responded and told the waiter to go to the kitchen to pass the message.

Luo Shuiyao said to Ye Yunzhou again: "Let's go up quickly, Dujuan, let's go."

Du Juan secretly glanced at Ye Yunzhou's expression and saw that his eyes were slightly narrowed. He shuddered with fear and quickly raised a smile and said, "Miss, you guys go ahead. I won't go. I'll just stay here and listen to the book."

Luo Shuiyao disagreed, "I ordered so many dishes upstairs, why don't you go up and eat some?"

Dujuan shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no."

After she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. "Then Miss, when you finish eating, you can pack it up and take it home. I will eat it with Chuntao, Chunxing and the others."

Luo Shuiyao thought about it, and since she didn't have a packing shame syndrome, she nodded, "Then you stay here and listen to the book. Don't run around later. Do you understand?"

Dujuan nodded repeatedly, "Go quickly, young lady." She lamented in her heart that if she didn't go, the young man's eyes would almost pierce through her.

As soon as the two entered the private room, the waiter came in with a pot of tea. After a few expert adjustments, he placed a steaming cup of tea in front of them, filled with fragrant tea. Luo Shuiyao extended her hand to Ye Yunzhou, signaling him to go first.

After Ye Yunzhou took a sip of the tea, she picked up the cup and sniffed gently. The aroma filled her nostrils. The tea soup was a light green with a hint of yellow, as refreshing as spring rain, making people feel relaxed and happy. She took a sip and sighed, "It's worthy of being a good tea at sixty taels a pot."

There was both admiration for the tea and a hint of regret about the price in his tone.

Seeing her like this, Ye Yunzhou couldn't help but laugh, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. However, before Luo Shuiyao noticed, he quickly put it down.

Luo Shuiyao took another sip of tea, her eyes full of satisfaction and enjoyment. She put down the teacup, looked at Ye Yunzhou and asked with a smile, "Sir, what do you think of this tea?"

Ye Yunzhou nodded slightly and responded: "The tea is fragrant and has a mellow taste. It is indeed a good tea." This is indeed true. He has drunk tea several times in this Ruyi Tea House. Although he has drunk this tea many times before, it is undeniable that this tea is indeed a good tea.

"What's your name, sir?"

In fact, Luo Shuiyao had been avoiding asking his name, but they had met so many times that it would be unreasonable not to ask. It also prevented him from being suspicious later, so she gritted her teeth and asked.

Ye Yunzhou looked at her intently, and Luo Shuiyao felt goosebumps all over her body. Then he spoke, "My name is Yuan Zheng."

Luo Shuiyao:……?

Okay! The big boss didn't want her to know his real name, so he made up a fake one to fool her.

At that moment, she had no idea that this was his courtesy name. The term "cousin" didn't exist in modern times, and it wasn't mentioned in the original novel either, so she hadn't considered it at all. Furthermore, courtesy names were only used by close relatives, and she had assumed they were merely acquaintances, so a wonderful misunderstanding had arisen.

There were thousands of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled slightly and said, "Can I call you Brother Yuan Zheng?"

Ye Yunzhou paused while drinking tea. What is the name of Brother Yuan Zheng?

Luo Shuiyao naturally knew that in this era people usually addressed others as brother. She could call him that when she felt disgusted with someone, but it still felt a bit corny to call him that seriously.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The waiter came in carrying plates of exquisite dim sum. The dim sum was placed on beautiful plates, emitting an enticing aroma.

After a while, the waiters came into the private room with other dishes, and the table was soon filled with sumptuous dishes.

The topic that had just been interrupted was also forgotten.

Luo Shuiyao looked at these delicious dishes with a look of delight in her eyes. She turned to look at Ye Yunzhou and said, "Sir, I heard that these snacks and dishes are the specialties of this teahouse. Why don't you try them?"

Ye Yunzhou nodded slightly, picked up a piece of pastry with his chopsticks, and placed it in his mouth. The pastry had a delicate texture, but it was too sweet for him. With a slight movement of his throat, he swallowed the pastry, then took a sip from his cup of tea. The faint fragrance of the tea instantly spread in his mouth, diluting the greasy sweetness of the pastry.

He put down the teacup, looked at Luo Shuiyao, smiled and said, "This snack is very exquisite."

Luo Shuiyao...! You know how to talk.

She saw clearly just now that when the snack entered his mouth, he frowned slightly, swallowed it without chewing, and then picked up the tea and took a sip, which showed that he did not like sweets.

Luo Shuiyao picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It was sweet but not greasy, with a light fruity aroma. Her eyes brightened, and she thought to herself: "It's expensive for a reason." She picked up another piece with her chopsticks, finished it, took a sip of tea, and said, "It seems that you don't like things that are too sweet, sir. If there is a chance in the future, I will make some snacks with different flavors. Would you like to try them?"

Ye Yunzhou was slightly startled. He remembered the snacks Ye Yunxing had brought back, and they were indeed very appetizing. Then he sneered and sighed that he was really crazy. After collecting his thoughts, he said to Luo Shuiyao, "Okay, I must try it when I have the chance."

Seeing Ye Yunzhou's cooperation, Luo Shuiyao nodded secretly. Actually, it seemed that he wasn't that bad after all.

She pointed to a dish on the table and said to Ye Yunzhou, "I heard from the shopkeeper that this is their best-selling signature dish. Try it."

Then she regretted, "Oh, you found this place, you must have eaten here before, and I'm telling you this."

Ye Yunzhou was helpless. "Okay, you've said all the good and bad things. What should I say?" There was a subtle hint of doting in his eyes. Looking at Luo Shuiyao's slightly annoyed expression, he found it very cute.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Luo Shuiyao looked at the almost untouched dishes on the table and sighed helplessly, "There's so much left."

Then she looked at Ye Yunzhou and asked, "Can I take some food back for my maid?"

Ye Yunzhou nodded and said, "As you wish."
