Chapter 363: He's so handsome?
The soft, orange-yellow light permeated the corridor, as if every inch of space was coated with a faint halo, giving it a magnificent and opulent feel.
The heels of a pair of leather shoes made a series of crisp yet slightly muffled sounds as they slowly touched the ground.
"Tap tap, tap tap..."
The echoes reverberated in the silent corridor, each step clearly audible, until they stopped in front of a double door.
Yu Huan looked up, her gaze falling on the door number. After confirming that it was correct, she reached out and gently pushed open a door.
This place is called 'Huatian Hotel'. It is the oldest five-star hotel in Changsha and the first five-star hotel in Hunan Province. It carries the memories of countless old Changsha residents.
For people in Changsha, being able to dine at Huatian Restaurant signifies a high-end, sophisticated, and classy lifestyle.
A meal like that would easily cost several thousand yuan.
I must say, my wife is really generous when she treats us to dinner.
Of course, the guests included Sister Ru, her business partner and best friend, and a new employee who had just arrived.
This time it's more formal, so we can't go to those ordinary hole-in-the-wall restaurants; it has to be a bit more upscale and up to standard.
As soon as the door opened, Yu Huan saw a blonde girl sitting directly opposite her.
Her face was slightly round, and her large eyes were bright and clear.
When her gaze met Yu Huan's, Yu Huan politely nodded slightly to her, then walked steadily toward the two figures sitting with their backs to the door.
As if she had heard the faint sound of his arrival, Lin Yourong, wearing a fisherman's hat, turned around to look at him.
Upon seeing that it was Yu Huan, a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face as she softly said, "Darling, you're here~"
Yu Huan walked up behind her, her steps pausing slightly.
Hearing that soft and sweet voice, I subconsciously glanced at the empty round table.
He then casually placed his hand on her shoulder and asked with a smile, "Have you ordered yet?"
Sitting next to Lin Yourong, Sister Ru turned to the side, her hearty laughter instantly breaking the brief warm atmosphere: "Haha, Yu Huan, we arrived at five o'clock and have been waiting for you for a while! We were afraid the food would get cold, so we told the waiter to serve it at six o'clock."
Yu Huan smiled and nodded to Sister Ru, saying with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, Sister Ru, I had a meeting today, Monday, and there were a lot of things to do, so I was a little late."
"Oh! It's alright! You're Mr. Y, so it's no problem for us to wait another hour!" Sister Ru waved her hand hastily.
Seeing her somewhat solicitous manner, Yu Huan couldn't help but think to herself, "Did Wang Jingru take the wrong medicine today?"
They were being so polite to him!
Yu Huan coughed slightly, then turned his gaze to the blonde girl, his eyes filled with inquiry and friendliness.
Noticing Yu Huan's gaze, Sister Ru smiled and introduced, "She is the assistant I found for Su Su, her name is Xing Yujia."
"Oh."
Yu Huan pulled out the chair on the other side of Lin Yourong's body, moved slightly, and naturally sat down next to her.
As soon as Sister Ru finished speaking, she immediately said to Xing Yujia, "Yujia, this is Susu's husband. And let me tell you a secret, he is the legendary 'Mr. Y'!"
Xing Yujia, with a shy smile on her face, stood up as a sign of respect upon hearing the first part of the sentence, her lips slightly moving as she prepared to introduce herself further.
But upon hearing the second half of the sentence, her expression froze, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? Mr. Y?"
Seeing her surprised expression, Yu Huan couldn't help but smile slightly and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Please sit down, there's no need to be so formal, just call me Brother Yu."
Xing Yujia's brain was racing at this moment. Looking at Yu Huan, whose face was covered by a mask, she tried her best to digest this shocking news.
Her bright eyes widened, and she nodded hurriedly, saying, "Brother Yu! Just call me Yujia!"
Yu Huan chuckled softly and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay, Yu Jia, please sit down."
Seeing the little girl looking a bit flustered, Sister Ru turned to Yu Huan and teased, "Mr. Y is still too handsome. He's made Yu Jia a little shy."
Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Sister Ru's slightly affected, broken Mandarin.
However, he didn't respond to that. Instead, he took out his phone, checked the time, and said, "5:56. Looks like I don't need to call the waiter for the food."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and his eyes met those of Xing Yujia, who was secretly observing him.
"Yujia, where are you from?" His tone was gentle, like a spring breeze.
Despite Yu Huan's friendly demeanor, Xing Yujia's eyes darted away slightly as she softly explained, "Brother Yu, my hometown is Lingling in southern Hunan."
"Oh." Yu Huan nodded.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that the name sounded familiar.
After a moment's thought, he suddenly gasped, taking a deep breath of the warm air in the private room. This time, it was his turn to show a look of surprise: "Huh? Lingling?"
Lin Yourong, who was affectionately placing her hand on Yu Huan's thigh, asked curiously, "What happened to Lingling?"
Yu Huan scratched his head, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, and couldn't help but ask Xing Yujia, "What is your relationship with General Xing Daorong of Lingling?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong chuckled softly, clearly understanding the implication.
Just then, the door to the private room was gently pushed open, and a waiter in a neat uniform pushed a food cart in.
With a smile, she politely informed Sister Ru, and after receiving her permission, she began to skillfully place plate after plate of exquisite dishes on the table.
An enticing aroma gradually filled the air.
The humorous conversation continued—
"Hmm..." Xing Yujia also scratched her head, her movements carrying a hint of helplessness.
She was used to being teased by her male classmates who were familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," and she didn't feel embarrassed at the moment. She just smiled broadly.
She quickly put down her hand that was scratching her head, and then slowly explained, "Brother Yu, I have nothing to do with Xing Daorong. He's a fictional character in a novel. There's no such person as Xing Daorong in official history. But I do get teased by my classmates because of that name."
Upon their first meeting, Yu Huan realized that her question was somewhat abrupt.
She's, after all, a young woman who just graduated from university. She hasn't been weathered by society and hasn't become a seasoned veteran yet. There's still a clear naiveté in her eyes, and she seems a bit shy.
He glanced at the braised goose in braised pork belly that the waitress had placed on the table; he could see wisps of steam rising from the bowls and plates.
The aroma was so enticing that he felt his stomach rumble and his appetite begin to rumble.
Yu Huan suppressed her hunger and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, Yu Jia, I just suddenly thought of this and thought it was quite interesting. Don't mind me."
Xing Yujia quickly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Yu, I don't mind. Actually, I think it's quite fun."
She showed no displeasure whatsoever; in fact, her smile became even more natural. The slight awkwardness she had felt earlier dissipated like dark clouds being gradually driven away by the sun, and she felt completely relaxed.
She thought that Su Su's husband was actually easier to get along with than she had imagined.
Amidst laughter and conversation, the waitress served the dishes and then took her leave.
Yu Huan, who was already impatient, heard the door close and quickly reached for the ear loops on her ears. Xing Yujia watched as Yu Huan removed his mask, revealing his handsome features, and her eyes widened even further—
Susu's husband is so handsome?
And he's so talented!
The songs he created are so popular! They're so widely sung!
In short, no wonder he was able to win over Lin Su, the "flower of wealth and beauty"...
……
Time doesn't stop for anyone; it moves forward at its own constant pace.
The next evening.
The couple sat side by side at the dining table, enjoying their home-cooked meal. Yu Huan patted her belly contentedly, and then consciously began to clear the dishes.
Lin Yourong gently wiped her lips with a tissue, glanced at his profile, and suddenly reminded him, "Wear gloves, dish soap is bad for your hands."
Yu Huan smiled gently and said, "I'm not that delicate. I'm just a rough guy. Why would I wear gloves?"
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Lin Yourong couldn't help but gently pinch his waist, saying coquettishly, "I even bought you a pair of large dishwashing gloves. Don't take it lightly; dish soap is bad for your skin! You have to wear them!"
Yu Huan, carrying a stack of bowls and chopsticks, quickly turned slightly to avoid her crab-like hand.
Hearing her say "specially," she immediately chuckled and nodded vigorously, saying, "Okay, okay, since it was bought especially for me, I'll definitely wear it."
After saying that, he steadily stepped into the open kitchen.
"The gloves are in the cabinet under the sink!" Lin Yourong's reminder came from not far behind her.
"Okay!" Yu Huan replied, placing the bowl and chopsticks in the sink.
He crouched down and opened the cabinet door. Without even searching, he immediately spotted a pair of dark blue rubber gloves on top of the pile of garbage bags.
Yu Huan methodically closed the cabinet door, put on gloves, got up, picked up the dishcloth from the sink, squeezed on some dish soap, and began to carefully wash the dishes and chopsticks.
Lin Yourong sat comfortably in her dining chair, carefully and attentively cleaning her teeth with dental floss for a while.
As she listened to the water gushing from the tap, making a crisp sound as it hit the bowls and chopsticks, a slight smile crept onto her lips.
It was as if the whole world had become incredibly beautiful at that moment.
Suddenly, the Xiaomi phone on the side of the table vibrated and rang, breaking the momentary silence.
Lin Yourong glanced up and saw the words "Lin's Father" on the screen, and heard a calm voice asking questions coming from the kitchen.
"Honey, who called me?"
She put down the dental floss picks, reached out and picked them up, and raised her voice slightly as she replied, "My dad!"
"Then can you answer it for me?"
"Okay." Lin Yourong replied, then swiped her finger across the answer button.
She gently held the phone to her ear and said, "Hello, Dad."
The person on the other end of the phone showed no surprise at her daughter's voice and asked with concern, "Hey, Yourong, have you and Xiaoyu eaten yet?"
"I ate," Lin Yourong replied simply.
"Where's Xiao Yu?"
"He's washing the dishes." Lin Yourong had barely finished speaking when she asked curiously, "What do you want with him?"
"Wang Han wants Xiao Yu to be on his show, so I'll talk to Xiao Yu about the details," Lao Lin explained briefly to his daughter.
Lin Yourong nodded slightly and asked curiously, "Is it 'Day Day Up'?"
"That's right." A firm voice came from the other end of the phone.
At the same time, the sound of running water from the kitchen suddenly stopped, and for Lin Yourong, it was as if the whole world had fallen silent in that instant.
Seeing that her father wanted to talk about serious matters with his son-in-law, Lin Yourong quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
She walked lightly, speaking into the phone microphone, "Wait a minute."
"Okay." Old Lin suddenly chuckled, followed by a teasing tone: "Did Xiao Yu offer to wash the dishes on his own initiative, or did you force him to do it?"
Although it was indeed Yu Huan who took the initiative, no one knows a father better than his daughter. Hearing this tone, Lin Yourong knew that no matter how she answered, her father would always have something to tease her about.
She simply pretended not to hear and didn't bother to respond to her father's words.
Lin Yourong walked into the kitchen and saw Yu Huan's profile, carefully wiping her hands with kitchen paper.
She quickened her pace and approached him, discreetly switched the phone to speaker mode, and then handed it to him.
"Honey, you're going to be on the show 'Day Day Up'?"
“Yes,” Yu Huan replied briefly.
I need to answer my father-in-law's call right now, so it's not the time to chat with my wife.
He crumpled the kitchen paper into a ball and tossed it into the trash can. After taking the phone from Lin Yourong, he quickly put it to his ear.
He was slightly puzzled as to why Lao Lin hadn't sent him Wang Han's phone number directly, but instead called him.
Yu Huan looked into his wife's bright, sparkling eyes, which were like clear lake water, as if reflecting his image.
He grinned at her brightly, then asked into the phone, "Dad, is something wrong?"
A soft chuckle came from the other end of the phone—
Caught off guard, Yu Huan quickly moved her phone away.
Looking at the innocent look in his wife's almond-shaped eyes, he couldn't help but reach behind her and gently pinch her soft, bouncy buttocks.
Naughty!
"There's a situation. I'll send you Wang Han's phone number in a bit, but don't contact him yet," Old Lin's voice came through the speaker.
"Hmm?" Yu Huan frowned slightly, his expression revealing his inner confusion.
I don't understand what Mr. Lin is trying to tell us.
Old Lin's unhurried voice continued from the speaker: "This Saturday, your mother and Wang Han have arranged to play mahjong together, and she'll invite you along."
"Huh?" Yu Huan withdrew her hand from Lin Yourong's buttocks, looking completely bewildered.
He swallowed hard, staring blankly at Lin Yourong's beautiful face, his mind racing.
He quickly emphasized, "I don't know how to play mahjong!"
As soon as Yu Huan finished speaking, Lao Lin said cheerfully, "I know you won't. When the time comes, just get yourself ready, show up briefly, kill some time around, and then have dinner with your mother's friends in the evening."
