Xiu Gou's Taming Record

Chapter 169 What else do you not know?

Ning Yutong stayed in the bathroom for a long time before turning the doorknob and coming out.

She slowly walked down the stairs and could hear voices coming from downstairs.

In the living room, Yu Heng was pressing something on his phone, while Hao Junran stood next to him, her eyes fixed on the phone screen.

"Alright," Yu Heng turned his phone screen towards Hao Junran, "I'm sharing it with you."

Hao Junran glanced down at his phone, and the notification sound of 500 yuan arriving in his Alipay account rang crisply.

"Five hundred?" Hao Junran looked up. "There aren't enough of us to eat that much."

"Let's go eat at a buffet," Yu Heng said, putting his phone back in his pocket. "That's about enough. These days, every buffet costs at least 70 or 80 yuan. Everyone's had a hard day. Take them out for a meal; it's on me."

Hao Junran blinked: "Aren't you going?"

"I'll take them home to eat," Yu Heng said, tilting his head to the side.

Hao Junran glanced in the direction he indicated, then grinned and said, "Got it."

He patted Yu Heng on the shoulder, turned and walked towards the others, raising his voice slightly: "Let's go, brothers! The boss is treating, let's go eat!"

He walked a few steps to Chen Yuqiang's side and naturally put his arm around his shoulder.

Chen Yuqiang was looking down at his phone when he was suddenly pulled close by this man, which startled him.

"Brother Ran?" Chen Yuqiang was a little awkward; Hao Junran was standing too close.

Hao Junran didn't let go; instead, she hugged him tighter and led him towards the door: "President, you're so generous! We have to eat something good today, let's go for an all-you-can-eat barbecue!"

Wang Luyu put down the rag in her hand and wiped her hands.

She couldn't wait to leave; she felt uncomfortable staying even a minute longer.

She knew that Zhou Mengqi had a relationship with Yu Heng, but now, looking at the situation, she felt that those girls and Yu Heng didn't seem to have a very innocent relationship either.

Zhang Tingting didn't have any particular thoughts; she just felt that the club president was a nice person and even treated everyone to a meal, which was a good thing.

She followed behind Wang Luyu and asked softly, "Luyu, what do you want to eat?"

Chen Yuqiang was half-hugging and half-pushing Hao Junran to the door, and couldn't help but look back.

Yu Heng had already turned and walked towards the group of girls.

Shen Yueling picked up her bag, while Bai Xinran and Zhou Mengqi huddled together whispering something, and Zhou Mengqi even smiled.

Ning Yutong was still standing on the stairs, her head down, so her expression couldn't be seen.

The group left noisily, the door closed behind them, and the villa fell silent.

Yu Heng walked to the middle of the living room and glanced at Ning Yutong, who was still standing at the top of the stairs.

"I'm leaving," he said casually. "Going home for dinner."

Shen Yueling had already put on her coat. She walked over to Ning Yutong and casually tugged at her arm: "Let's go, what are you standing there for?"

Ning Yutong avoided her gaze, her voice dry: "I...I'm going back to my dorm."

"Let's go back and eat first," Shen Yueling said in a flat tone. "We'll talk after we eat."

Bai Xinran and Zhou Mengqi also came over. Zhou Mengqi looked at Ning Yutong, then at Yu Heng, and didn't say anything.

Bai Xinran blinked and said to Ning Yutong, "Let's eat before we go back, otherwise the cafeteria will be closed at this hour."

They surrounded her, their tone quite normal, as if it were just a casual invitation from classmates.

Ning Yutong looked at Yu Heng, who had already gone to the entrance and was changing his shoes.

"Let's go," Yu Heng turned around and looked at Ning Yutong, "Let's go back together."

------

The group returned to the villa, where the entrance hall was somewhat crowded.

"What are we having for dinner?" Yu Heng took off his coat and hung it up.

"There are still some spare ribs in the fridge," Shen Yueling said. "Shall we stir-fry a couple of vegetables too?"

"Anything is fine," Yu Heng said. "You can decide what to do."

"Come help me in the kitchen." Shen Yueling glanced at him and then walked towards the kitchen.

"Me?" Yu Heng narrowed his eyes. "Okay, I'm coming."

Yu Heng followed, leaving three people in the living room.

Bai Xinran turned on the TV and found a variety show to use as background noise.

Zhou Mengqi sat down on the sofa and casually patted the seat next to her: "Yutong, sit down."

Ning Yutong hesitated for a moment, but still sat down, though she kept a little distance between them.

In the kitchen, Yu Heng was preparing ribs by the sink, while Shen Yueling was picking vegetables.

"That Zhou Mengqi," Shen Yueling suddenly spoke, her voice very low, "how far have things gone with you?"

Yu Heng paused, the knife in his hand still. "Why are you asking that?"

"I need to know what her relationship is with you," Shen Yueling said, putting the prepared vegetables into the basket. "Didn't you say you'd ask whatever you want and answer whatever you're asked?"

"Ah," Yu Heng pursed his lips, "just like A Ling, she was someone I took in before, online for two years from 15 to 17."

"Huh? 15 years ago?" Shen Yueling raised an eyebrow. "No, you were already playing this back then?"

"Yeah," Yu Heng said with a smile, "You really think that you saw the video on my computer that day by accident?"

"Hmm?" Shen Yue frowned. "You bastard, you schemed against me too?"

"What do you mean by scheming?" Yu Heng said with a smile. "I just guided you a little, and look at you now, you seem to be enjoying it quite a bit."

Shen Yueling stopped picking vegetables, turned her head, and stared at Yu Heng's profile for a few seconds.

"Is there anything else I don't know about you?"

Yu Heng turned off the water, shook his hands, and picked up a towel to wipe them dry.

He turned around, leaned against the kitchen counter, and looked at Shen Yueling.

Shen Yueling stared at him intently, waiting for his answer.

Yu Heng thought about it and felt that he had to let her know about this sooner or later.

At school, Shen Yueling is one of the closest people to Qin Lu, so they will inevitably run into each other in the future.

Moreover, Bai Xinran already knew this, so it was better to tell her herself than to let her hear it from elsewhere.

"Actually, our counselor also..." Yu Heng said.

Shen Yueling blinked. "Counselor?"

The one named Qin Lu?

She frowned: "Is it your dog too?"

Yu Heng was taken aback by her choice of words, then smiled and said, "No, that's not it."

He draped the hand towel back on the rack, his tone casual: "My lover, I suppose."

Shen Yueling pursed her lips. Yu Heng even managed to get his counselor?

She felt a little uneasy, but not particularly surprised.

I just didn't expect him to move so quickly and over such a wide area.

"When did this happen?" Shen Yueling asked, her tone relatively calm.

"It's been a while," Yu Heng said, pausing before continuing, "Her marriage is in trouble; her husband is cheating on her, and they're currently separated."

Shen Yueling let out an "oh," realizing that they had taken advantage of the situation.

She rolled her eyes at Yu Heng, thinking that it was exactly the kind of thing that jerk would do.

She put the selected vegetables into the basket: "You certainly don't discriminate between meat and vegetables."

Yu Heng looked at her, wondering if she was angry or not.

"She's a very nice person," Yu Heng said, "and..."

He paused, then didn't continue.

"And what?" She frowned.

"And she's quite good at it," Yu Heng said in a lower voice, "but not as physically strong as you..."

Shen Yueling glared at him: "Who asked you that!"
