They arrived at Ruoshui's house and were led by a servant to find Ruoshui. They walked through a covered corridor and around a courtyard with a rockery, where Su Yuanyuan saw Ruoshui sitting inside.

"Ruoshui!" she called out happily, nodded to the servant, and walked up to Ruoshui.

Today he was dressed in a bamboo-green long-sleeved suit, clean all over except for the embroidered plum blossoms on the cuffs. He sat upright at the table, holding a jade cup and drinking tea.

"Yuanyuan, you're here." Seeing her gentle smile, one couldn't help but admire her. She was truly a gentleman; who could tell from her appearance that she was a businesswoman?

"Ruoshui, I am here too."

Shopkeeper Lin pushed past Su Yuanyuan and approached Ruoshui like a big dog.

Su Yuanyuan glared at him and sat down on the other side.

Seeing the smiling face of the person, Ruoshui could hardly maintain her smile.

"Why are you here?" she said, glancing towards the door as if afraid someone might come in.

"No need to look, there's no one here. I asked the servant, and neither your brother nor your father is here."

Su Yuanyuan poured herself a cup of tea and slowly took a sip.

Speaking of the two young masters of the Zhou family, they are clearly capable of great things; their eyes alone seem to see right through a person.

Several times, Su Yuanyuan was caught covering for them and was stared at so intently that she was sweating profusely. Now she always avoids those two, because she always feels that Ruoshui's two brothers know everything.

But this was something she couldn't really talk about. She had secretly reminded Ruoshui once, and from then on, he told Manager Lin to come to their house less often.

Unfortunately, the dog seemed not to understand and continued to come every two days as usual. Su Yuanyuan thought that if she also became suspicious...

If she was right, she turned to look at Manager Lin and shook her head inwardly.

If this man were to actually marry her, his future path might become even more difficult.

It's possible their relationship will be broken up, so for her best friend's happiness, it's better for her to refuse.

"Yuanyuan, are you hungry? Shall I ask the kitchen to serve some food?" Ruoshui didn't want to talk to Manager Lin anymore, so she turned to ask Su Yuanyuan.

"Okay, I am actually a bit hungry. Can you make some more of that plum soup from last time? I really want to eat it."

Su Yuanyuan put down her cup. She still couldn't get used to tea; it was too bitter. She could tolerate it if she added some rock sugar.

"Alright, I'll have the kitchen prepare it." Ruoshui called over a servant, gave him instructions, and watched him walk away.

"Why are you here again? Didn't you say I would go out?"

Ruoshui looked at Manager Lin with a helpless tone, as his lover's inability to understand human language was also a great source of annoyance for him.

“I came with her, your family won’t think too much about it. I haven’t seen you for two days, don’t you miss me at all?”

Manager Lin was sitting very close to Ruoshui. Hearing that Ruoshui was not allowed to come again, he looked aggrieved and leaned against him.

Ruoshui was so startled she almost jumped up, but Su Yuanyuan quickly pulled her in front of her and glared at Manager Lin.

"Speak properly, or I'll teach you a lesson if you scare him again."

After Ruoshui sat down, she glared angrily at Manager Lin, "If you keep doing this, I won't see you anymore."

Shopkeeper Lin moved a little closer with a grin, "I knew they weren't here, didn't I? I'm usually very careful."

"What exactly do you see in him?" Su Yuanyuan asked Ruoshui the same question again.

Ruoshui blushed and pushed her away, saying, "Don't ask anymore."

Manager Lin replied with a proud look, "I am handsome, virtuous, and wealthy. I am also devoted to Ruoshui. What do you think I am?"

Su Yuanyuan silently turned her head to look at Ruoshui, her eyes asking him, "What do you mean?"

Ruoshui smiled helplessly. Who can truly understand the meaning of love?

Before they knew it, the maids had finished serving all the dishes.

Su Yuanyuan picked up her chopsticks and started eating without any hesitation. Ruoshui then ladled a bowl of plum soup and placed it in front of her.

Su Yuanyuan smiled at him, "Thank you, darling."

A visible blush crept up Ruoshui's cheeks. He gave her a reproachful look and said, "Eat your food and talk less."

"That's right, a young lady like you shouldn't be so shameless." Manager Lin put some food on Ruoshui's plate and didn't forget to tease her.

Su Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "So you've got some nerve, haven't you?"

"You want to call me that too? Too bad, that's my special nickname."

Manager Lin's face darkened. Damn it, she was right. Ruoshui absolutely forbade him to call her that. If he dared to say it, she would get angry and ignore him.

He picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and bit down hard, staring at Su Yuanyuan with wide eyes as if he were chewing her flesh.

Su Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I told you to come along. You never do anything productive all day long, just disturbing your girlfriends' dates."

She ate the food with relish, and would even offer some of the best dishes to Ruoshui. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and the dishes made by the chefs of wealthy families had a unique flavor.

After finishing their meal, the three of them chatted over tea when Manager Lin suddenly glanced at her. Su Yuanyuan was puzzled and wondered why he was looking at her.

Seeing that Su Yuanyuan didn't understand what he meant, Manager Lin glared at her, then moved closer to Ruoshui.

"Ruoshui, I want to discuss something with you."

Ruoshui put down the tea. She couldn't help but be curious about what he was talking about, realizing that this man could be so reserved.

"what's up?"

Su Yuanyuan realized what he was about to do and was about to stop him when Manager Lin started talking non-stop.

Seeing Ruoshui's face growing increasingly dark, Su Yuanyuan picked up her teacup, took a sip, and turned to admire the scenery.

This fishpond is really nice; the fish inside look very plump and delicious.

Snapped!

Su Yuanyuan was startled and quickly looked over, only to see a slap mark on Manager Lin's face, and Ruoshui glaring at him angrily.

"Lin Zhixing, do you even know what you're saying? What does this say about Yuanyuan? It's been so long, and only now have I realized how selfish you can be!"

"Ruoshui, Ruoshui, don't be angry. I didn't agree. Don't make yourself angry."

Seeing Lin Zhixing bowing his head and remaining silent, Su Yuanyuan quickly pulled Ruoshui aside, saying, "Let's talk things out."

"He actually told you without my permission?" Ruoshui was shocked. How could he have the nerve to say that?

amount……

“I only found out before I came here. You know I don’t want to get married. There has to be a solution to your problem. If your brother doesn’t know about you two, this solution would be good. But I really suspect they already know, so this solution won’t work. If we do this, you two will be really finished.”

Lin Zhixing looked up, his face full of confusion. "They found out?"

Su Yuanyuan shrugged, looking utterly helpless. "It's just a guess, otherwise why would I ask you to come less often?"

Ruoshui glared fiercely at Lin Zhixing, thinking, "May he be stupid enough to die."

"I thought you didn't want to see me anymore and were planning to gradually distance yourself from me."

Lin Zhixing looked at Ruoshui with a hint of grievance in his eyes, fearing that Ruoshui couldn't bear the relationship and wanted to leave him.

He came up with this terrible idea, thinking he should first appease his family before focusing on dealing with Ruoshui.
