Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Qiao Rui is Very Interested in You

"Mr. Pei, you’re being too polite." Qiao Rui sat down beside Pei Liyan with a serene smile on her face.

Si Ran and Fang Mo hadn’t entered the door, and it was unknown where they’d gone.

The conversation and atmosphere between Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui seemed to have changed considerably from before.

He Zheng watched the two of them interact so naturally and harmoniously, and he looked on with interest.

Pei Liyan looked up and met his meaningful gaze, raising an eyebrow, "Why not go and order some dishes?"

He Zheng chuckled. "I’ve ordered already, just told the waiter to bring the house specials."

Pei Liyan frowned slightly and gave him a warning glance.

He Zheng laughed again, his eyes turning to Qiao Rui, "Sister-in-law, what would you like to eat? Let’s add a few more dishes?"

He handed the menu to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui said, "I’m fine with anything, you’ve already ordered, so I don’t need to order again."

He Zheng was still being polite, "How can that be? We only ordered the house specials, we don’t know what Sister-in-law likes."

"I like the house specials too. If they are house specials, they must have enough merit to be house specials."

Seeing the situation, He Zheng’s gaze shifted to Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan also looked at Qiao Rui and said, "Don’t be polite, today He Zheng is treating, you can order whatever you like."

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, meeting the man’s profound and somewhat interested gaze, "Can I really not be polite?"

"Of course!" Pei Liyan nodded seriously.

Qiao Rui looked at He Zheng again, then smiled broadly and said, "Alright then, I won’t be polite."

She opened the menu, and the waiter immediately came over.

Qiao Rui said, "Tell me what Mr. He ordered just now."

The waiter immediately handed over the list, Qiao Rui took a glance, then compared it to the menu and pointed at a few other house specials, saying, "This one, this one, and this one too, one of each please."

The waiter noted everything down promptly.

He Zheng raised his eyebrows looking at Pei Liyan, these two really were amusing, weren’t they just flaunting their affection in front of him?

They were doing it on purpose.

Purposely torturing the single guy.

He couldn’t help but look at Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan was also looking at him.

Neither of them spoke, silently communicating through their gazes, yet they both understood the other’s meaning.

Being brothers for so many years, they naturally understood the meaning of each other’s glances.

Qiao Rui ordered several more house specials.

He Zheng watched her order more than ten dishes in one breath, quite astonished, was she here to fleece this naive young man?

Even if that was the case, it shouldn’t be so wasteful.

Then, Qiao Rui spoke to the waiter, "These six dishes that I ordered just now, pack them up for me to take with me when we leave."

He Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, "Sister-in-law, if you like the food here you can come back, why take it with you?"

"For Uncle Feng and Mrs. Feng to try." Qiao Rui replied.

He Zheng was taken aback, then looked at Pei Liyan again.

This girl couldn’t have already secretly bribed his steward.

"Sister-in-law is really considerate, alright, take it to go."

Pei Liyan’s eyebrows also furrowed slightly, this girl always thought about Uncle Feng and Mrs. Feng, as if she had bought them over.

"Is that okay?" Yet Qiao Rui still glanced over, the man asked.

Pei Liyan tugged at his lip, smiled faintly, and said, "Doing this will flatter them, I’ve never brought them takeout before."

"You mean, you’re afraid I’ve bribed them, making you lose face?" Qiao Rui asked, smiling.

Pei Liyan glanced down at her and muttered, "You’re the lady of the house, thinking thoroughly, they will only be happier, feeling that our relationship is good."

Qiao Rui was stunned.

She hadn’t expected the man to flaunt their affection in front of his good friend, and speak so naturally, as if their relationship was indeed very good.

Her face turned a bit red, she whispered, "It was you who told me to order more, I just thought if we can’t eat it all we might as well take it with us."

Pei Liyan’s lips curved into a slight smirk, "A teachable child indeed!"

After a cold moment, Qiao Rui felt that the man’s words were so irritating, clearly it was his idea to fleece He Zheng a bit, now he was playing the good guy!

Hmph!

She saw He Zheng also looking at her and Pei Liyan as if watching a drama, she smiled faintly and said to the waiter, "Alright, that’s all."

"So, sir, ma’am, shall we serve the dishes now?"

"Yes!" Qiao Rui nodded again.

The waiter walked away and soon served their dishes.

During the meal, Qiao Rui went out for a moment and paid the bill.

When only He Zheng and Pei Liyan were left in the room, He Zheng’s smile turned somewhat suggestive.

"Brother, your relationship with Qiao Rui seems to be blossoming lately!"

"What do you mean ’seems’?" Pei Liyan raised an eyebrow and countered.

"Pfft!" He Zheng chuckled audibly, "Are you for real?"

Pei Liyan didn’t answer.

He Zheng saw his silence and his expression turned serious, "Are you serious about her?"

Pei Liyan smiled lightly, "It’s not about being serious, it’s just interesting."

"You mean Sister-in-law is interesting!" He Zheng carefully considered, "Honestly, Qiao Rui is different from those typical delicate ladies, despite being so beautiful, she insists on uglifying herself."

Pei Liyan was also puzzled, why a girl could dress so ugly and look so rustic without minding?

"Do you think she could be doing that deliberately to catch your attention?" He Zheng voiced his suspicion.

Pei Liyan shook his head, "That’s unlikely, she’s been trying to avoid me."

"Avoid you?" He Zheng was confused, "She seems quite friendly towards you."

"Didn’t you see how guarded she is towards me?" Pei Liyan countered.

He Zheng shook his head, "Honestly, no."

Pei Liyan said, "That’s because you have a problem with your eyesight."

He Zheng, however, had a different opinion, "Honestly, I don’t feel any guardedness from her towards you, I actually think it’s the opposite, she’s very interested."

Pei Liyan raised an eyebrow, looking at He Zheng skeptically.

"Really, don’t look at me like that," He Zheng said, "You have to trust my judgment on women, there’s a sparkle in her eyes when she looks at you, at least it proves one thing, she’s very interested in you."

Pei Liyan remained unconvinced.

Meanwhile, at the door, Qiao Rui was standing there, overhearing their conversation.

Qiao Rui rolled her eyes, women are said to talk about men when they’re together, she hadn’t expected men to gossip about women when they were together, and their gossiping was no different from nagging.

"Really, don’t disbelieve me, I can at least ascertain one thing, Qiao Rui wants to sleep with you." He Zheng’s voice came again.

At the door, Qiao Rui was startled.

How could he possibly have noticed?

Was her intention that obvious?
