Ye Jinmeng and Gu Qi came to the rest area, where besides Xu Wanwan and He Junting, Ye Jinchen and Shi Shuan were already sitting there drinking coffee.
Everyone had changed into casual clothes here, and Ye Jinmeng thought to herself: Could it be that Wanwan didn't seize the opportunity to be alone with Brother Junting?
Thinking of this, Ye Jinmeng felt a sense of frustration. Alas, being a matchmaker is really not easy. You not only have to consider internal factors, but also external cockblocking factors.
This is so difficult!
If Xu Wanwan knew what Ye Jinmeng was thinking right now, she would probably spit out several mouthfuls of blood.
She, Xu Wanwan, was the one who had it hard!
When He Junting asked Xu Wanwan if she had any secrets, she almost collapsed at that time. If Shi Shuan and Ye Jinchen hadn't shown up and interrupted that terrifying atmosphere, Xu Wanwan probably would have died.
After Shi Shuan and the others arrived, Xu Wanwan immediately made her escape to the changing room to change her clothes. She had originally planned to go find Ye Jinmeng, but thinking that Ye Jinmeng was with Shi Shuning, she felt embarrassed to be a lightbulb, and was afraid Ye Jinmeng would not be able to find her if she went somewhere else, so she slowly shuffled back here.
Seeing Ye Jinmeng and Gu Qi come over, Xu Wanwan first greeted Gu Qi, then waved for Ye Jinmeng to sit next to her.
"Didn't you say you were going to get ice cream with Senior Shi? Why were you gone for so long?" Xu Wanwan asked knowingly.
She didn't expect Ye Jinmeng's face to immediately flush red, so Xu Wanwan became even more curious.
Xu Wanwan whispered in Ye Jinmeng's ear, "Could it be that you two... had something good happen?"
Ye Jinmeng's little face turned red, and she also whispered back in Xu Wanwan's ear, "I... just agreed to date Senior Shi."
After saying that, she shyly covered her face.
Xu Wanwan's eyes widened, she really didn't expect that in just this short time, the two had confirmed their relationship!
"Then why did you come back with Auntie Gu instead of Senior Shi? Why didn't he come back with you?"
When it came to this, Ye Jinmeng's little face collapsed again, and she sighed.
"Ugh, don't mention it. We had just confirmed our relationship and he was happily spinning me around, but then my dad and mom showed up..."
"Also, my parents were there the whole time, so they heard everything I said to Senior Shi..."
"Ah? Then you two..." Xu Wanwan said in surprise.
"Sigh, my mom doesn't oppose it, but my dad is having a private conversation with Senior Shi right now. I don't know what they're talking about."
"Don't worry, I think since your uncle loves you so much, he will definitely be very strict about you having a boyfriend. And you and Senior Shi were childhood sweethearts to begin with, so your uncle is probably thinking 'my little white cabbage at home has been dug up by a pig'."
Ye Jinmeng laughed at what Xu Wanwan said. Senior Shi really was a silly pig!
"What are you two whispering about over there?" Ye Jinchen saw the two with surprised wide eyes one moment and giggling happily the next, and he was quite curious.
"Oh, nothing, Brother. Just chatting." Ye Jinmeng said vaguely.
Seeing his sister unwilling to say more, Ye Jinchen naturally did not pursue the matter further, only shaking his head and continuing to read his magazine.
At this time, Ye Junli and Shi Shuning also came down from upstairs. Seeing both of them looking quite happy, Ye Jinmeng finally relaxed.
Phew, that scared me. I thought I would directly end my first relationship as soon as it began.
Gu Qi did not want to intrude too much on the young people's conversation. Seeing Ye Junli come down, she immediately pulled him by the hand to go tour the garden outside.
Shi Shuning knew what Ye Jinmeng was thinking. He walked directly over and sat by her side, then reached out and grasped her little hand in his big one.
Ye Jinmeng was startled, and looked around nervously, wanting to pull her hand back, but Shi Shuning held on tightly and would not let go.
Ye Jinchen saw the two people's actions and quirked an eyebrow, joking, "You two, could this be..."
He deliberately dragged out the words, making the others look towards Ye Jinmeng and Shi Shuning.
Ye Jinmeng's face flushed red again.
"Oh~ Shuning, what's the situation!" Shi Shuan said, feigning ignorance.
Shi Shuning held up their clasped hands, revealing a hateable expression, "It's this kind of situation, and it's been approved by Uncle and Auntie."
"Tsk tsk tsk, your brother hasn't even had a girlfriend yet, and you're in such a hurry. That doesn't seem appropriate!" Shi Shuan teased.
"This is called seizing the opportunity. You should learn from me."
Ye Jinmeng reached over and pinched Shi Shuning's waist, making him wince in pain, though his face was still full of happy smiles.
At this time, Ye Junwen came over with a glass of lemon fruit tea, which he placed in front of Ye Jinmeng, saying with a smile, "Jinmeng, I brought you your favorite lemon fruit tea. Have a taste."
He even thoughtfully put the straw in, when his gaze suddenly swept over Shi Shuning and Ye Jinmeng's clasped hands. His own hand at his side clenched into a tight fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging out.
However, no one noticed this.
Although Ye Jinmeng really wanted to refuse, with so many people around, it would be too impolite to not give her young uncle face. She could only force out a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Just as she was about to pick up the drink, Shi Shuning beat her to it.
Shi Shuning could see Ye Jinmeng's reluctance, and felt the icy temperature of the drink. He immediately found a reason to object.
"Jinmeng, this drink is too cold. You can't have cold drinks these past few days, remember?"
Ye Jinmeng reacted very quickly and immediately chimed in, "Ah, I forgot."
She then turned to Ye Junwen with a regretful look, "I'm sorry, Uncle. It's all my fault, I can't have cold drinks now. Uncle's not mad at me, right?"
As she spoke, she even revealed some grievance.
Onlooker Xu Wanwan: ...Didn't expect this little thing to be so slick with words.
Ye Junwen: ...
Although furious inside, there was nothing he could do. He could only reply, "Oh, no problem. Health comes first. Let me go get you a hot drink."
Just as he was about to get up, Ye Jinchen stopped him.
"Uncle, how could I let you, an elder, go fetch drinks for my little cousin here. That would make Jinmeng seem poorly brought up and disrespectful to her elder.
"Yes, Uncle Ye, as Jinmeng's boyfriend, it's more appropriate for me to get them. What would you like, Uncle? I'll bring them both over."
Shi Shuning looked at Ye Junwen with a mocking smile.
Rage surged inside Ye Junwen, but he maintained a calm facade.
"You and Jinmeng, are dating now?" Ye Junwen's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses turned icy cold.
"Ah yes, we just confirmed our relationship. Don't worry Uncle, I will treat Jinmeng well." As he spoke, he even kissed the back of Ye Jinmeng's hand.
Ye Jinmeng immediately blushed shyly and threw a few light punches at Shi Shuning's chest, only to have her hand grabbed and held by Shi Shuning again. The two were so sweet it made the others look at them in disgust.
The veins on Ye Junwen's forehead bulged in anger as he took a deep breath and said coldly, "No need, you kids have fun. I'll head back first."
