President, please comfort me.

He coaxed, "Let's go out to eat, eat something delicious, okay?"

Despite her tears and tantrums, Lanling wasn't joking about food. She was genuinely hungry and obediently replied, "Okay."

"Go wash your face in the bathroom over there, I'm going back to my room to get dressed." Tang Chao pointed in the direction of the bathroom and prepared to get up to get dressed.

Upon hearing this, Lanling grabbed him, looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, and said, "Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Tang Chao asked, puzzled, but remained seated.

Lanling rushed back to the kitchen, picked up her phone from the floor, and rushed back. With her injured thumb raised, she deftly opened the phone and snapped a close-up shot of Tang Chao's upper body.

Tang Chao didn't say anything about her blatantly taking photos, but seeing her impatient nature, he couldn't help but say to her, "Can you not always be so hasty? You'll cry if you fall later."

Lanling, having successfully taken the photo, ignored what he said and, looking at the picture on his phone, laughed like a fool again.

"Okay, I'll go get ready. I'm starving."

After they finished getting ready, Tang Chao led her out and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Beef hot pot".

"Let's go then, there's a pretty good restaurant nearby."

Fortunately, it was her left hand that was injured, so it didn't affect her eating too much. But the Tang Dynasty was known for its gentlemen, and besides, Lanling had injured her hand while cooking for her.

Tang Chao could not turn a blind eye to this, both emotionally and rationally. Throughout the meal, he cooked all the meat and vegetables for Lanling and put them in her bowl, practically feeding her directly. All she had to do was eat.

After Lanling finished her hotpot to her heart's content, Tang Chao gave her two instructions on how to treat her wounds when she got back before sending her back to the Tang Dynasty family.

Watching her skip and hop as she walked into the residential area, Tang Chao smiled silently. He didn't start the car and leave until he received her message.

-

On Saturday morning, everyone had their own plans.

Ye Lin got up early to get dressed, then went out to pick up Tang Yue next door. The two of them went to the Datang Family to pick up Lanling and Wen Qi.

Yang Xu returned to Donghu Villa to have dinner with his parents.

Wen Qi told Tang Hui in advance that she would be going back for lunch and would be bringing a good friend and Tang Yue along, because she and Xiao Can had made plans to go to the zoo together in the afternoon. Xiao He, Lanling, and Tang Yue would also be going with her.

Recently, Chaoyue Jewelry has been preparing for the National Day Golden Week holiday. Tang Chao is quite busy and often works overtime at the jewelry company. Ye Lin and Xiao He are in charge of other matters.

At nine o'clock, Ye Lin, sporting white and blue highlights in his hair, wearing a Klein blue shirt and black casual pants, and accessorized with silver-white jewelry, led three pretty girls into the dessert shop.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he booked the entire place. After entering the store, the group bypassed the casual seating area and sat down on the rattan chairs in the backyard open-air garden.

On a clear morning, the sky was blue with fluffy white clouds, the air was fresh and cool, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

The waiters served them colorful and uniquely shaped desserts, each one like a dazzling pearl, offering endless surprise and joy to both the eyes and the taste buds.

In the clear glass, the colorful fruit tea dances, with an excellent taste that is sweet but not cloying. One sip and you can feel the fresh fruit aroma and the fragrance of tea, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste, as if you have tasted the charm of the entire autumn.

Three girls were enjoying tea and chatting in the backyard garden, discussing their love lives, work, careers, and everyday gossip.

Ye Lin went to the front of the restaurant and asked the waiter to pack up a few more portions of the desserts with high customer satisfaction and repeat purchase rates. After making the arrangements, she went to the back of the restaurant to find them.

"Wow, Brother Ye Lin, you have great taste! This store is really nice, I love it!" Tang Yue's clear and pleasant voice rang out.

Lanling gave a thumbs up: "Yeah, it's rare to find such a treasure shop. The environment is comfortable, the snacks are delicious, it's awesome."

Wen Qi smiled and said, "I guess I'll gain two pounds tomorrow, hahaha."

The girls showered Ye Lin and the shop with compliments. Ye Lin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Looks like I made the right decision bringing you here. Next time you want to come, remember to look for your brother Ye Lin. I'll pick you up, drop you off, and even pay the bill!"

Lanling nodded: "No problem, no problem."

Ye Lin served the sisters with kind words and gentle manners. Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, he suddenly asked at a certain moment, "If Brother Ye Lin needs your help, will you help him?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wen Qi stopped chewing, staring at him in disbelief. Suddenly, she burst into laughter, thinking to herself, "As expected, with enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle. It seems that Xiao Nuo will be won over sooner or later with such a suitor."

Tang Yue and Lan Ling were enjoying their meal and drinks when they said without hesitation, "Of course we'll help, we'll definitely help."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Ye Lin had been waiting for this sentence. He shifted his position, sat up straight, and got straight to the point: "I want to pursue Chen Nuo, so you guys can give me a hand."

"She hasn't replied to my messages for several days, and she won't let me out when I ask her. Sigh." Ye Lin looked worried and a little aggrieved, like a little wife.

They say you're beholden to someone who feeds you, and someone who takes your money is obligated to you. Lanling wiped his mouth and asked timidly, "How do you want us to help?"

Ye Lin smiled and didn't say anything excessive. He raised his chin and said, "It's very simple. I've already asked the waiter to pack several portions of these. I'll take them to Chen Nuo's dance studio later. You can just bring one portion for her."

Lanling looked at him incredulously: "That's it?"

"Well, it's that simple."

"Then why don't you go by yourself?"

Ye Lin sighed, sounding extremely humble: "I'm afraid she'll be unhappy if she sees me."

Lanling and Tang Yue looked at each other, undecided. In the end, Wen Qi agreed: "Alright then, since it's still early and we've almost finished eating, let's go?"

Having received a positive reply, Ye Lin nimbly carried the things and drove the group to the Pearl of the South.

Wen Qi and Tang Yue carried their belongings upstairs according to the house number Ye Lin gave them.

Lanling felt a bit carsick and uncomfortable after eating too much, so she didn't go upstairs and stayed with Ye Lin to wait for the two of them.

Remembering how Lanling had been so infatuated with Tang Chao last time, Ye Lin turned to her and asked, half-jokingly and half-probingly, "Lanlan, have you taken a liking to Tang Chao?"

Lanling smiled without any attempt to hide it, a hint of pride in her voice: "Yes, I've taken a liking to it."

Ye Lin raised an eyebrow slightly, sat closer, and asked with interest, "How about we lend a hand? You help me out, and I'll help you out, what do you say?"

Lanling's eyes darted around, and after a moment's thought, she said, "That sounds alright, but I have to make it clear beforehand that I'm not going to betray my sisters."

"No, no, I would rather betray the Tang Dynasty than let you betray Chen Nuo."

Lanling narrowed her eyes into slits, a plan forming in her mind. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Alright, but you'd better show some sincerity first!"
