President, please comfort me.

Upon hearing this, Yueyue's expectant face instantly fell. She flung her hands away and muttered, "Hmph, fine, don't eat it then. Actually, I didn't really want to eat it that much anyway. Even if you take me to eat it now, I might not be happy!" Although she said this, her longing was still evident in her reluctant eyes.

Seeing her stubborn expression, Ye Lin couldn't help but laugh and tease her, "Hey, you've got some nerve, talking to your uncle like that." As he spoke, he pretended to reach out and grab her.

Seeing this, Yueyue was so frightened that she immediately turned and ran, disappearing in a flash to Chen Nuo's other side and tightly hugging one of her arms. Then, she cautiously peeked out her little head, made a face at Ye Lin, and provocatively said, "Nya nya nya."

Chen Nuo watched the two bickering like usual along the way and found it quite amusing. She smiled and lowered her head to chuckle.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lin suddenly turned his gaze to her and asked softly, "What would you like to eat? It's still early. Shall we eat before heading back to the capital?"

Chen Nuo was caught chuckling to himself and was momentarily stunned. He quickly composed himself and replied, "Okay, then we'll eat before we go back."

While she was laughing, Chen Nuo had actually prepared a small gift for Yueyue in advance. Upon hearing Yueyue's words, she immediately stopped and rummaged through her bag.

A moment later, she took a small gift box out of her bag and coaxed in a sweet voice, "Yueyue, this is a gift from your teacher. Consider it a reward for today's competition."

"Wow, thank you, Teacher Nuonuo!" Yueyue grinned widely as she happily accepted the gift, then deliberately waved it in front of Ye Lin: "Hmph!"

Ye Lin was so focused on getting Ye Hua to agree to let him accompany Yueyue to the competition that he hadn't really considered much else: "Okay, your uncle didn't know you could win an award. I'll owe you the gift for now, and I'll take you shopping when we get back to the capital, how about that?"

"That's more like it. Thank you in advance, Uncle." Yueyue quickly thanked him when she heard about this good news.

The three got into the car, and Ye Lin, as if he had scouted the location beforehand, drove straight to the entrance of a very popular beef hot pot restaurant, and then took Chen Nuo and Yueyue inside.

The spacious and bright hall was bustling with noise and people, and everywhere you looked, it was packed with people who had come to dine.

The waiter smiled and led them to an empty table, warmly inviting them to sit down.

"This restaurant has just opened and has a good reputation. There are no private rooms available yet."

While explaining the situation to Chen Nuo beside him, Ye Lin casually handed over the tablet in his hand: "Here, see what you want to eat, order whatever you like, don't be shy."

Chen Nuo took it and nodded gently: "Okay."

Ye Lin reached out and pinched Yueyue's little cheek: "Yueyue, tell your uncle what you want to eat."

"Uncle, I want to eat handmade beef balls and double grapefruit juice."

"No problem, Uncle will order it for you right away!" Ye Lin quickly glanced at the menu and selected several dishes in one go.

Seeing that Chen Nuo was still looking at the menu, he got up and took the kettle on the table to scald her bowl and chopsticks.

Seeing this, Chen Nuo waved his hand repeatedly: "I can do it myself, you help Yueyue."

Ye Lin seemed not to hear, his hands continuing their work without stopping. He slightly turned his body to avoid Chen Nuo's outstretched hand and said lazily, "It's okay, I'll help you first, then help her, it's all the same. You just need to order the food."

He continued what he was doing, skillfully and carefully pouring boiling water into each bowl, plate, and chopstick.

"Yes, yes, Teacher Nuonuo, my uncle always makes these dishes for me when we go out to eat. Don't worry, he makes them very clean."

Yueyue sat to the side, leisurely crossing her legs. She assumed that Chen Nuo was worried that Ye Lin wouldn't be able to clean the dishes properly, so she blurted out her opinion without thinking.

Hearing this, Chen Nuo was slightly taken aback, then smiled awkwardly and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to... Okay, then thank you." Afraid that Ye Lin would misunderstand, she could only continue looking down at the menu.

After ordering the food, Ye Lin gave a few instructions and then turned to walk towards the restroom.

After Ye Lin left, Yueyue's bright eyes narrowed into slits, and then, with a curious yet innocent expression, she quietly moved closer to Chen Nuo.

"Teacher Nuonuo, are you and my uncle really not dating?" she asked earnestly.

Faced with Yueyue's sudden question, Chen Nuo was taken aback at first, then quickly shook his head in denial: "Huh? No, why do you ask?"

Yueyue looked confident. She nodded her little head slightly and then started her 'analysis mode': "I feel like Uncle treats you better than me. Let me make it clear that I'm not angry."

“When we used to eat out together, my uncle would always be the first to scald my bowl and chopsticks. But look today, he actually said he would scald yours first, and then it would be my turn! Hehe, there must be something going on here!” As she spoke, Yueyue winked mischievously at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo was at a loss for words after Yueyue said that, but fortunately, Yueyue didn't give her much time to think and continued to talk to herself: "Teacher Nuo Nuo, what do you think of my uncle? Do you want to consider being his wife? If you two can be together, then we can see each other every day."

"Although my mother used to say that my uncle was busy chasing girls, I recently overheard her talking to my aunt on the phone. My aunt said that my uncle hasn't been out partying for a long time and goes home early after get off work."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo blushed with embarrassment. She thought to herself, "After all, he's just a child. Naturally, he speaks without thinking and is innocent."

So she didn't take it too seriously. After thinking for a moment, she explained simply, "Your uncle is a good person, but we're just friends. You're just a kid, so don't worry about his marriage."

"Okay then, but Ms. Nuonuo, if you're planning to have a boyfriend, could you give my uncle a chance?" Yueyue didn't seem to give up yet. She tilted her head back and asked with anticipation in her eyes.

Chen Nuo couldn't bear to refuse her directly, so he lowered his head and softly replied, "Mm."

"Yay!" Having gotten the answer she wanted, Yueyue's mood instantly soared. Looking at Ye Lin walking over from not far away, she moved her little bottom back to sit opposite Chen Nuo.

Just then, a waiter carrying a kettle of hot water walked up behind Chen Nuo.

"Teacher Nuonuo, be careful!" Yueyue had just sat down when she was terrified by what she saw.

Suddenly, the waiter slipped and lost his balance, falling forward. The kettle he was carrying tilted, and scalding hot water poured from the spout onto Chen Nuo's back.
