Day n of not wanting to be a kept man's canary

Jiang Shiyan wished there were no women within three meters of Leng Tingye, but unfortunately, she couldn't be in two places at once. If she could, she wouldn't allow another woman to sit next to Leng Tingye.

Therefore, she now finds Mu Yanxin utterly displeasing.

I noticed Jiang Shiyan's hostile gaze; it was a woman's intense possessiveness.

I had long heard that this Miss Jiang was arrogant and domineering, and was a notoriously formidable character.

At the last banquet, just because a woman said two words to Leng Tingye, he threw sulfuric acid on her face after the banquet, causing the girl to be disfigured.

This kind of love is truly suffocating. Thinking of this, Mu Yanxin gasped inwardly, while Leng Tingye remained seated, watching her.

Jiang Shiyan glanced at Leng Tingye, then at Mu Yanxin, her eyes practically wishing she would disappear immediately.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Leng Xingchun greeted with a smile, "Alright, let's start eating. Shopping has really made us hungry!"

To dispel Jiang Shiyan's doubts, she picked up a piece of abalone from the plate in front of her and placed it on Leng Changqing's plate, smiling gently, "Honey, eat this, it's very nutritious!"

Leng Changqing was stunned by the unusual behavior.

During dinner, she was still at odds with him, her attitude completely changing. Could it be that Shen An'an's arrival made her feel insecure, and that's why she was acting this way on purpose?

"Oh my, sister-in-law is so virtuous!"

Mu Yanxin smiled shyly and looked at Leng Changqing, "He's usually too overworked and needs to replenish his energy!"

"This is blatant public display of affection!" The food Leng Xingchun was being fed suddenly lost its taste. "Sister-in-law, can you please consider how we single people feel?"

Of the people present, apart from Mu Yanxin and Leng Changqing, who are outwardly a couple, the other four are all single.

In Shen An'an's eyes, this was clearly Mu Yanxin asserting her sovereignty.

Not to be outdone, she added a piece of vegetable to Leng Changqing's abalone, saying, "Brother Changqing, eating green food is good for your health."

She noticed Jiang Shiyan's gaze towards her, which had lost its hostility, and instead used serving chopsticks to add a piece of abalone to Leng Tingye's plate, saying, "Master Ye, you're usually busy with work, so please eat more!"

Before it could even be placed on a plate, it was pushed away, "No need! I have a sore throat today!"

It seems that showing affection is quite effective; with one less enemy, Mu Yanxin felt a little relieved.

Leng Tingye looked at Mu Yanxin with interest, "After eating, you need to relieve your internal heat!"

That dreadful look—she had just gone to great lengths to divert Jiang Shiyan's attention from her, and she didn't want to be suspected again.

Mu Yanxin quickly lowered her head and started picking at the food in her bowl.

After being rejected, Jiang Shiyan picked up another piece of vegetable.

"Then let's eat vegetables. Vegetables are light and perfect for cooling down!" he said, putting them into Leng Ting's picnic plate.

"Don't put any more food on my plate! There's nothing I like to eat here!"

The words for "favorite food" and "favorite dish" differ by only one character, but their meanings are vastly different.

These veiled words made Mu Yan's heart sink even lower, and she almost lay face down on the table!

"I told you to order, but you wouldn't. I did order, but you didn't like it. You can't blame me for that!" Leng Xingchun was eager to absolve herself of responsibility.

"Is there not a single dish on this whole table that you like?"

"Hmmmm~"

Leng Xingchun couldn't help but complain, "Fourth brother, your taste is too picky!"

With food in her mouth, Mu Yanxin mumbled an indistinct complaint, "You bet! She's exceptionally difficult!"

The voice was very low and muffled, so no one heard it.

Seeing the woman's silly expression as she buried her head in her food while still making sarcastic remarks, Leng Tingye wanted to tease her even more.

Mu Yanxin was enjoying her rant when suddenly, something hard rubbed against her thigh.

very light.

Mu Yanxin stiffened, raised her head, and naturally met the man's gaze.

The man raised an eyebrow, looking wicked!

Her face flushed instantly, but she pretended to be calm and glared at the culprit.

Wanting the man to stop immediately, she didn't expect him to not only not stop but also become even more brazen and unscrupulous!

Seeing that Mu Yanxin hadn't picked up any food for a while, Leng Xingchun asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, please pick some..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Mu Yanxin's face turn bright red. "Sister-in-law, why is your face so red?"

"Cough cough!" Mu Yanxin choked on the sudden question, pressed her hand against her chest and coughed twice, her face turning even redder.

Leng Xingchun asked with concern, "Slow down!"

Others looked over as well. Mu Yanxin suppressed her panic and raised her hand to indicate, "I'm fine. I just ate some chili peppers, and they were too spicy!"

Just then, a spicy dish was placed in front of Mu Yanxin.

"Have some juice, it won't be spicy anymore!" Leng Xingchun thoughtfully poured a glass of juice and handed it to Mu Yanxin.

"Thank you!"

It has to be said that there's a reason why Leng Xingchun is so likable; she's incredibly attentive and can take care of everyone's feelings at any time.

Mu Yanxin took the juice and sipped it, while Leng Tingye looked completely relaxed and enjoying himself. Mu Yanxin cursed him inwardly.

Bad seed!

Everyone went back to eating their own meals, and no one noticed what was happening under the table.

With Leng Tingye around, the atmosphere was lacking, and after being rejected twice, Jiang Shiyan's interest was noticeably lower than when she first arrived!

Only Shen An'an took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to put food on Leng Changqing's plate.

With his fiancée on his left and his lover on his right, Leng Changqing seemed quite satisfied with this situation.

Mu Yanxin was oblivious to Shen An'an's little tricks; she was too busy taking care of herself to notice and was hoping the meal would end soon.

The atmosphere was a bit somber, so Leng Xingchun tried to lighten the mood by starting a casual conversation.

You chatted casually, one sentence after another.

Leng Xingchun asked casually, "Shiyan, didn't your older brother come with you?"

"No, my older brother is busy. He told me to come over first, and he'll visit Master Ye in person after he's finished with his work!" Jiang Shiyan looked at Leng Tingye's expression, wanting to see how he would react.

Leng Tingye seemed preoccupied with something else and didn't seem to hear him at all, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Leng Xingchun continued, "With Patriarch Jiang here, a get-together is inevitable. They're old acquaintances, after all..."

Leng Tingye gave her a cold look.

The movement under the table stopped.

Realizing she had talked too much, Leng Xingchun quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Fourth Brother, I shouldn't have said that!"

No wonder she received a cold shoulder from Leng Tingye; the protagonist in her story has a backstory, all because of the same woman, Lan Feifei!

But Lan Feifei is no longer here.

I had a vague feeling that the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense.

Mu Yanxin was curious about what kind of story would unfold between Leng Tingye and the legendary Jiang family head.

Mu Yanxin's eyes were full of inquiry, wanting to know from his expression what kind of story they would have!

Leng Tingye's expression was indifferent, revealing no extra emotion whatsoever. She overlooked one thing: sitting opposite him was Leng Tingye, and no one could see through his true thoughts!

Suddenly, everything went dark. Leng Tingye stood up, picked up a glass of red wine, downed it in one gulp, and tossed it aside casually. "You guys eat first, I'm leaving!"

The cup rolled onto the table and spun around, leaving a large empty space opposite it.
