Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

(To explain the description of the Taiwanese accent, the main characteristics of Taiwanese are: inability to distinguish between "ne" and "le", lack of retroflex consonants, frequent reduplication of words, and lack of nasal consonants.)

"Is it delicious?"

"Hmm... it's barely palatable."

Min Moyou picked up the cooked skewers and fed them one by one to the very proud Yu Bing.

"I never expected to find such a master chef in this humble city, almost comparable to the personal chef of my Yu family. I, Yu Bing, have truly underestimated the world (chewing)."

At first, Yu Bing coldly and disdainfully stated that roadside stalls must be filled with unclean and unpalatable food—after all, that's what everyone in her family told her, and she was a direct descendant of the Yu clan... uh? a younger sister?

In short, they are not allowed to do things like eating at roadside stalls, which is considered beneath their dignity and lacks clan spirit; it would be too disgraceful for the Yu clan.

So Yubing had never eaten at a roadside stall before, just like Yaoyao who couldn't afford to eat there. Today was the first time she had ever eaten at one.

Until Min Moyou fed Yu Bing a skewer of food without explanation, perhaps Yu Bing was hungry, or perhaps it was the novelty of eating at a roadside stall for the young lady like Yu Bing, or perhaps the vendor had some kind of advanced technology, or maybe Yu Bing was using Min Moyou's feeding service to assert her dominance over Yao Yao.

In short, Yu Bing eventually "got hooked" and even thought the street vendor was quite capable, developing a slight idea of ​​recruiting him back to the Yu family as a chef...

But Minmo smiled and remained silent. How could he tell her that this was the power of "technology"?

To be honest, Min Moyou looked down on this kind of food. The dishes she cooked were mostly processed foods like starch sausages, crab sticks, fish tofu, and cuttlefish balls. It was okay for Yu Bing to find it novel for the first time, but Min Moyou had been eating it since she was a child in another world before she transmigrated, and she was already tired of it.

But I don't mind eating it.

Yao Yao silently endured her hunger, watching helplessly as Min Moyou fed Yu Bing skewer after skewer into her mouth, or as Min Moyou shoved handfuls of skewers into her own mouth. Yao Yao was completely unaware of Yu Bing's provocative gaze, silently counting in her mind:

'This three-nine square coin...this five-nine square coin...wow...! That bundle alone is at least a day's worth of Yao Yao's food money...'

'Yaoyao! You have to hold on! You were the one who invited them to dinner, you absolutely can't...'

"Yaoyao, why aren't you eating?"

Yao Yao was still feeling incredibly heartbroken when Min Moyou's question interrupted her grief.

"Ah... I'm not hungry anymore, you guys go first, you guys go first..."

"Gurgle—woo—"

Before Yao Yao could finish speaking, her stomach started to protest very loudly.

Min Moyou and Yu Bing were both drawn to the voice, and they both looked at Yao Yao at the same time.

"Hey—hehe, that's how it is... they've got it, right? It's like a broadcast, you have to control the words!"

As she spoke, Yao Yao casually picked up a string of the cheapest seaweed and savored it bite by bite. Her eyes lit up immediately—Wow! So this is what it tastes like! So delicious!

Just bite and shake to hide the flavor, that's all...

Yao Yao scratched her head, then smiled sheepishly at Min Moyou and Yu Bing, saying:

"The portions at this restaurant are very small! Just a little bit is enough! The rest is for us! You can order more if you're still hungry!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Bing's initial pleasant mood, which had been pleasantly surprised by the roadside stall, vanished instantly—Oh? This is the beginning? Is this the so-called tactic of pretending to have a small appetite in front of men to gain their pity? Ha! Her stomach is growling with hunger, yet she's still being stubborn! What a good actress!

However, Yu Bing wasn't embarrassed at all, and had no intention of letting Yao Yao pay—as a member of a wealthy clan, how could he eat out and spend someone else's money? That would be too unbecoming of a clan.

Moreover, when members of the Yu clan eat, they have to compete to pay the bill, making everyone owe us money for the meal, to demonstrate the Yu clan's immense wealth. This is the true style of the Yu clan!

Besides, being invited to dinner is something that only happens between friends or business partners who have already established a relationship. Yu Bing didn't want to be taken advantage of by this scheming Yao Yao, so it was better to pay the bill himself and sever ties with her.

Compared to Yu Bing's mind full of conspiracy theories, Min Moyou was much simpler—he only had a head full of wicked humor.

"Want to order more? Or will you pay, Yao Yao?"

"Spicy...spicy indeed...!"

"That's good. Boss! Cook the rest of them too! And bring a few bottles of... uh... carbonated drinks, we'll settle the bill together later!"

Immediately following was the boss's exceptionally hearty laughter: "Alright!!!"

"I have a big appetite, is that okay?"

Min Moyou laughed wildly, but the naive Yao Yao didn't notice anything amiss and replied seriously:

"It's alright... the most important thing is that the fowl are well-fed..."

While secretly pinching Xiao Ling Tong under the table, he hesitated—should he ask Sister Qian Jun and Yan Yu Gege for some?

But is all their combined possessions really enough?

Or should we secretly ask the boss later if they need any help here?

............

About an hour later, the skewers that Minmoyou had asked the owner to heat up were served one after another.

The boss was busy but having a great time, and even cheerfully gave away a few bottles of drinks.

Despite this, Yao Yao's stomach still let out several painful screams, and Min Moyou even saw a glimmer of light on the corners of Yao Yao's mouth under the streetlights...

Yao Yao pretended not to care, stubbornly resisting the urge to reach for the skewers on the table. Instead, she savored the only skewer she had picked up earlier, the one with seaweed already eaten off...

Min Moyou's hands and mouth never stopped. His explosive increase in physical abilities led to a bottomless pit of appetite. However, he didn't usually need to unleash superhuman strength, keeping his energy expenditure at a minimum, so he wouldn't get hungry quickly, yet his appetite seemed endless...

Yao Yao stared at Min Moyou for a long time, and a question arose in her mind: Does having more money mean you can eat more?

Yu Bing continued to silently accept Min Moyou's feeding—she always felt that eating skewers with her hands was particularly unrefined and a sign of a lack of clan etiquette. Moreover, after Min Moyou fed her several times, Yu Bing insisted on using chopsticks to pick the food off the skewers before she would eat.

This is the elegant and poised woman who always pays attention to maintaining her demeanor.

However, Yu Bing's appetite was indeed not large. After trying almost every kind of skewer, she put down her plastic bowl and disposable chopsticks and listened to Min Moyou and Yao Yao chatting happily with a blank expression.

My back teeth are about to break from biting.

"Yes, yes! And you still don't know the character '民' in Mr. Yiyao's name? Oh... and this lady too."

"Oh right, Yao Yao's name is Yao Yao, he doesn't have a surname... He's from Qinmin Ward... I think... he ended up in Nakaura Ward for some reason..."

Seeing that Yu Bing seemed unwilling to talk to her, Min Moyou guessed that Yu Bing had some issues with Yao Yao. Min Moyou chuckled inwardly.

Ha, didn't you dislike me? Didn't you refuse a marriage alliance?

Why does she act like this the moment I get close to a woman?

Hey, woman.

He happily helped Yubing introduce it as well:

"My name is Min Moyou, just like yours; I'm also from Qinmin District."

“She…”

Min Moyou glanced at Yu Bing, whose face had suddenly become haughty. It seemed that Yu Bing didn't mind at all, and even wanted Min Moyou to introduce her properly.

"Her name is Yu Bing, and she comes from Wuli District, which is next to our Qinmin District. She is the 'head of the family' of the Yu family in Wuli District~ Hehe........"

"Still your 'fiancée,' right? Mo You."

Yu Bing turned Min Moyou's face, which was facing Yao Yao, to look at her, and added in a very serious tone, emphasizing the words "fiancée".

"Yes, yes, yes."

Min Moyou pulled Yu Bing's hand off his face and, in front of Yao Yao, brazenly took it in his hand. Only then did Yu Bing let go of Min Moyou and continue to remain silent.

Yao Yao suddenly sighed—she felt that if she didn't find something to talk about to attract her attention, she would really drool in front of Min Moyou and Yu Bing...

Wow~ Mr. Min and Ms. Yu Bin are so amazing!

"Mr. Min is also from the Min District! What a coincidence! And his Mandarin is so good, that's amazing!"

"Sister Yubin is so young to be the head of a family, that's amazing!"

Yu Bing's lips curled up slightly; she, who had hardly ever been flattered, still appreciated Yao Yao's admiration.

However, Yu Bing still looked down on Yao Yao's attempt to establish a connection with Min Moyou through their shared birthplace—clearly, even if Min Moyou and Yao Yao both came from Qinmin District, they were from completely different social classes.

They should never have any contact in their lives.

Only someone like me, Yubing, who also comes from the same clan, should naturally stand with him!

"Just as amazing as my foreseeer!"

Yao Yao continued,

"Actually, Yaoyao, Gege, and Jiejie were all homeless at first. Then, in order to avoid being bullied by others, we formed a family—called the Silver Fire Family! Yan Yu Da Ge is our patriarch! Just like Yu Bin Jie!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Bing frowned—how could the head of a family that was like a child's play, composed of three homeless children, compare to her, Yu Bing?

Hmph! What utter nonsense!

Yu Bing is like this; she always becomes inexplicably serious and calculating in various situations.

Min Moyou simply laughed it off.

.......

After a while, Yao Yao's belly repeatedly joined her "chat" with Min Moyou.

Min Moyou repeatedly invited Yao Yao to eat something so she wouldn't go hungry, but Yao Yao remained steadfast and unmoved for some reason.

Fine, you're going to force yourself to endure this, huh?

Then I, Minmoyou, will have to channel my inner domineering CEO.

After Min Moyou once again strongly urged Yao Yao to eat something but was refused, Min Moyou suddenly stood up, picked up the remaining dozens of cold skewers on the table, and walked towards the trash can not far away.

"Mr. Min, where are you going? If you want to take it to go, you can't take the owner's plates with you..."

Upon seeing this, Yao Yao first looked at Min Moyou with great confusion, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh—Mr. Min, so you also like to squat by the trash can and eat your food?! I used to do that too! After eating, I'd just throw the trash away~ But Sister Qianjun always says it's unhygienic, and she scolds me every time she sees me..."

"Mr. Min, please sit down! We're eating out now, the owner might search us~ We don't want to worry about the hassle of being searched~"

Min Moyou was completely speechless, and Yu Bing couldn't help but unfold her fan to cover her mouth and chuckle.

Who exactly has this bad habit like you?

But I couldn't help feeling even more sorry for Yao Yao.

"Oh no, I have no interest in eating next to a trash can."

Min Moyou stopped and explained to Yao Yao.

"Since you're not eating, and we're all full, we should naturally throw the leftovers into the trash can to prevent the boss from recycling them and selling the leftovers to others."

The remaining dozens of skewers were specially reserved by Min Moyou for Yao Yao. Even if he ate all the skewers the stall owner had prepared that night, it was impossible to gauge his appetite—he was in a state of neither hunger nor fullness.

The boss, who cleared out his inventory tonight, was happy to have some free time, leisurely playing with his little spiritual eyes, completely ignoring what Min Moyou was saying.

But Yao Yao cares a lot—she can't bear to eat it herself! How can she let the trash can eat it for her first?

What a waste!

Even a good man like Mr. Min Moyou cannot tolerate this!

"But hey! He hasn't finished eating yet! He can't let his lungs rot!"

Yao Yao immediately stood up and blocked Min Moyou's path, spreading her arms to block his way, her expression extremely serious.

With just this little movement, Yao Yao's stomach started growling in protest.

"What can we do? Eating too much will make us feel uncomfortable too."

"That's a lie! Being so sad after only one meal is really sad! You're only sad when you're hungry..."

Goodness, so Yao Yao has probably never been full since she was a child...

"Li...Li, don't fall, I'll eat, I'll eat!"

Yao Yao was afraid that Min Moyou would get angry and smash the plate on the ground—she had heard from Sister Qianjun that many rich people were like that, with unpredictable moods... So she quickly snatched the plate with the remaining skewers from Min Moyou's hands, sat down, and started stuffing them into her mouth.

Min Moyou gave a wicked smile—"Little brat, you think I can't handle you?"

He turned and walked towards the boss, intending to secretly settle the bill.

But the quick-witted Yao Yao discovered it in time!

She grabbed Min Moyou's hand—she had heard from her sister Qianjun that some people were strange; when they ate with others, they would rush to pay the bill!

This is absolutely terrifying! Don't they consider their money their own?!

"What...what are you getting angry about?"

With her mouth full of food, Yao Yao asked a question that was hard to understand—as if she usually did.

"Bill, please."

Even though their motivations differed, Yu Bing still supported Min Moyou's actions.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yao stood up, clutching several skewers in both hands, and said anxiously:

"No! Minmin seems to want to treat us to dinner today..."

"sit down."

Then Min Moyou pressed Yao Yao back into her seat—Yao Yao was also shocked and stunned for a moment—this was the first time she had met someone stronger than her besides Sister Qianjun...!?

"You're not entitled to pay when you eat with me."

"But..."

Yao Yao tried to get up again, but Min Moyou pressed her down on his shoulder, holding her firmly.

"Eat your food, you can't refuse."

Yao Yao eventually sat down obediently, but she ate much more slowly.

She didn't know why, but Mr. Hao, who was usually very gentle, had just been a little bit harsh to her because of the bill...

But suddenly, a strange feeling arose in Yao Yao's heart... she couldn't quite put her finger on it...

The feeling she got from Qianjun Jiejie and Yan Yugege was different. Although there was a sense of distance, a kind of detached closeness, it wasn't the kind of feeling where she could treat the other person as family...

Yao Yao didn't understand, so she buried herself in her food.

Because of her inability to reciprocate love, Yao Yao never considered the possibility of liking or loving someone—partly because of the "curse" she was cursed to never experience love in her life, and partly because she had long accepted this outcome.

Inviting Min Moyou to dinner could be considered a form of response—but since it didn't elicit any disgust from Min Moyou, it proves that Min Moyou doesn't have a single bit of "love" for her...?

So what exactly is it...?

So, besides the kind of love that inevitably breeds disgust, and the just-right friendliness that Qianjun Jiejie and Yan Yugege show her, does Yao Yao even deserve to be treated with a fourth kind of emotion...?

Yao Yao was deep in thought, while Yu Bing was still grinning foolishly, though she didn't show it.

Because she finally saw that there were other people who, like her, were being "bullied" by Min Moyou's domineering attitude.

So watching him "bully" people is so satisfying?
