Chapter 816: Chapter 812 Today Looks Great

"Hmm, it’s true, you do look a little prettier than usual."

Chen Yang nodded as he spoke.

"Haha, see! I told you, I wasn’t just flattering you," Yang Ruoxi said, pouting playfully, looking utterly cute.

Hearing both of them say this, Wu Kexin’s smile grew even wider.

What girl could resist being told she’s beautiful?

"Haha, alright, alright, I believe you’re being honest. You look great today too," Wu Kexin laughed and complimented Yang Ruoxi in return, then pulled her along like they were sisters and got into Chen Yang’s car.

Seeing how the two got along like real sisters, Chen Yang naturally felt very happy.

He smiled and then started the car, turning it around toward the county town.

On the way to the town, Chen Yang practically didn’t have a chance to get a word in.

Yang Ruoxi and Wu Kexin sat in the back seat, chirping away happily, completely ignoring Chen Yang.

Alright then.

They acted like he didn’t even exist.

Chen Yang shook his head helplessly and focused on driving.

About forty minutes later, Chen Yang brought the two women back to the county town.

As soon as they entered the town, Chen Yang immediately called Li Han to discuss where to eat.

But to his surprise, Li Han was already waiting for them at a prearranged hotpot restaurant.

"Okay, just wait for us a bit, we’ll be there soon."

After getting the exact address, Chen Yang hung up the phone and drove directly to the hotpot restaurant where Li Han was waiting.

The place Li Han had chosen was the most popular hotpot restaurant in the county, which was also a branch of the most famous hotpot chain in the country. Its reputation was so great that Chen Yang didn’t even need navigation to find it.

Ten minutes later, Chen Yang parked the car in front of the hotpot restaurant.

"Here we are. Let’s get out,"

Chen Yang turned around and spoke to the two women before unfastening his seatbelt and getting out of the car.

Wu Kexin and Yang Ruoxi glanced outside when they heard this, and then they got out of the car together.

"Hotpot, huh,"

Yang Ruoxi said as she looked up at the sign after getting out of the car.

"Yep, your sister picked it. She’s already inside waiting for us," Chen Yang replied with a smile and a nod.

"Alright, then."

Yang Ruoxi wasn’t particularly keen on having hotpot because both she and Wu Kexin were wearing white clothes and were worried about making a mess.

But since Li Han was already inside, they didn’t really have a choice.

Chen Yang led Wu Kexin and Yang Ruoxi into the restaurant, and under the guidance of the waiter, they found Li Han’s table.

"Wow, Kexin, you look absolutely stunning today! Like a breath of fresh air," Li Han exclaimed upon seeing Wu Kexin, her tone mirroring Yang Ruoxi’s earlier remarks.

"Really? Ruoxi just said the same thing," Wu Kexin said delightedly.

"For real, you look especially beautiful today," Li Han nodded seriously, expressing her admiration.

"Haha, see! I told you I wasn’t just trying to butter you up. Kexin, you really do look amazing today," Yang Ruoxi chimed in with a big smile.

"Haha, alright, alright, I accused you wrongly!"

Wu Kexin laughed, gently ruffling Yang Ruoxi’s hair before taking her seat.

The three women were very close, sitting cozily together, leaving Chen Yang by himself across the table.

"Hey, is this fair? Leaving me to sit alone over here," Chen Yang joked, unable to hold back his laughter.

"Hmph, what’s the problem? Are you, a big man, afraid of sitting by yourself?" Yang Ruoxi said, shooting a playful glance at Chen Yang.

Li Han and Wu Kexin chuckled at that and joined in: "Exactly, it’s fine for you to sit alone. The three of us will sit together."

Looking at the three women united in their camaraderie, Chen Yang had no choice but to laugh and admit defeat: "Alright, alright, fine, you win. You sit, I’ll sit by myself."

"Hmph, that’s more like it,"

Yang Ruoxi said smugly before turning to ask Li Han, "Sister, haven’t you ordered yet?"

"I already did. I just told them not to serve it yet in case you guys were late,"

Li Han replied, shaking her head, and immediately called a waiter to bring the food.

"Yes, ma’am, please wait a moment."

The waiter responded politely and quickly went to arrange for the food to be served.

In just a few minutes, dishes started coming out one after another.

Seeing the variety of dishes being brought to their table, Yang Ruoxi looked quite surprised.

"Sis, are we really going to finish all this?" Yang Ruoxi asked incredulously.

"Yeah, Li Han, this is way too much. There’s no way the four of us can eat all this. Maybe we should return some dishes before touching them," Wu Kexin agreed, feeling the same way.

But Li Han waved off their concerns: "It’s fine, we can take our time. It’s rare for us to get together, so let’s enjoy it. If we can’t finish, Chen Yang can help clean up."

Li Han gave a mischievous smile, clearly planning to pin the responsibility on Chen Yang.

Although Wu Kexin and Yang Ruoxi initially wanted to send some dishes back, the mention of Chen Yang made them giggle and agree.

"Alright, we’ll keep it as is then."

"..."

Chen Yang was speechless but didn’t say much.

The dishes were abundant, but they could finish them slowly, and even if they couldn’t, there wouldn’t be much left.

Once all the dishes were served, everyone dug right in.

As they started adding ingredients to the hotpot, the three women were already deep in conversation, chatting about their lives as though they were longtime friends catching up.

Their topics were decidedly "feminine," giving Chen Yang little room to chime in, so he simply focused on eating and listening.

It wasn’t until the conversation shifted to work that Chen Yang finally had a chance to get a word in.

"By the way, Chen Yang, have you checked on the school recently? The old teaching buildings have been demolished, right? Are they digging the foundation now?" Li Han asked, looking at Chen Yang.

Realizing the spotlight was on him, Chen Yang put down his chopsticks, grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth, and replied, "Yeah, the school has been demolished, and they should be digging the foundation now. But I’m not entirely sure—I haven’t been there these past couple of days."

Chen Yang answered honestly.

Li Han rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"Are you not paying attention to the school’s construction? The foundation is incredibly important; it needs to reach the proper depth," Li Han said, clearly unimpressed.

Chen Yang chuckled, "Your family’s construction team is handling it—I trust them. They wouldn’t cut corners."

"Exactly, Li Han. There shouldn’t be any issues. Even if someone tried to pull something shady, Chen Yang couldn’t be there supervising every second," Wu Kexin surprisingly came to Chen Yang’s defense.

Usually, the three women were united in teasing Chen Yang, but this time Kexin stood up for him.

"That’s true, but it’s still a big project worth several million. You can’t afford to be careless," Li Han nodded before seriously reiterating her point.

"Yeah, you’re right,"

Chen Yang acknowledged her point with a nod, agreeing with her.

The mention of the school reminded Wu Kexin of something.

"Oh, speaking of the school, I almost forgot,"

Wu Kexin said, looking at Chen Yang. "I’ve been working on getting that funding we initially discussed. There’s been significant progress recently, and the higher-ups finally approved the allocation. The funds should hit your account in the next few days."

"Funding?"

Chen Yang was momentarily taken aback, not immediately remembering what she was referring to.

After thinking for a moment, he recalled that when the school construction was planned, the town officials had promised to apply for financial support of one million yuan.

However, due to Director Yan’s resistance, the matter had been put on the back burner.

After all, getting the paperwork approved was already a big deal. Who would have thought the county would actually release the funds?
