Chapter 188 - 188 188 Green Tea
?Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Green Tea Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Green Tea Now it was Sheng Tingyuan’s turn to question her, “You can cook?”
Ye Chuyi was much more humble, “A little.”
She couldn’t compare to Auntie Wang’s cooking skills, but she was definitely leagues ahead of Sheng Tingyuan, after all, she wasn’t a real young lady of privilege, whereas he was the real deal.
She opened the refrigerator, took out a bunch of garlic sprouts, washed them, and placed them on the cutting board. As she was about to cut them, Tingyuan stopped her.
She looked at him, puzzled, “What’s wrong? Am I doing something incorrectly?”
“There’s nothing wrong.”
Sheng Tingyuan grabbed her wrist and took the knife from her hand, “Your hands shouldn’t get hurt, stop cutting.”
Ye Chuyi indeed had cut herself when she was younger, but as she grew up a bit more, it had never happened again.
Not only had she never cut her hands since then, but her knife skills were also very good.
Especially after studying medicine, she could slice meat so thin it was like cicada wings, uniformly sized.
“I almost have to use a scalpel every day, knife-work is a basic skill, I won’t cut my hands.”
As Ye Chuyi spoke, she reached for the knife again.
However, Sheng Tingyuan held her hand and pulled her towards the exit, “Let’s eat out today.”
Ye Chuyi was pulled into the car by him and they went to a restaurant.
Clearly, Tingyuan frequented this restaurant often. As they entered, a manager came up to greet them warmly, “President Sheng, you’ve arrived. Please come in, the ‘High Mountain Flowing Water’ private room has been reserved for you!”
As he spoke, his eyes fell upon Ye Chuyi’s face.
This was the first time Sheng Tingyuan had brought a woman here, and such a beautiful one at that.
Rumors online said that Sheng Tingyuan was married, and that his wife came from the Ye Family. Could this be her? She did look somewhat similar to Ye Zhengrong and was so beautiful it was hard to look away.
However, Ye Chuyi paid no attention to the manager’s scrutiny; she had spotted a familiar figure—Meng Li.
She was wearing the uniform of a server in this restaurant, with a white blouse, black skirt, and high heels, her curvaceous figure undoubtedly drawing the attention of many.
At the moment, she was respectfully leading new customers to their tables, seemingly oblivious to their presence.
Her hair was tied up high, revealing a scar on her cheek.
In the past, Meng Li rarely tied up her hair. She preferred letting it loose, hanging by the side of her face to cover the scar she was most self-conscious about.
Sheng Tingyuan took two steps forward but noticed that Ye Chuyi hadn’t followed. He went back, took her hand, and led her inside, “What’s up, what caught your interest so deeply?”
“It’s nothing.”
Ye Chuyi glanced at Sheng Tingyuan, his expression was usual, showing no signs of noticing Meng Li.
Could it be that Qi Yunfan was really just spouting nonsense? Sheng Tingyuan and Meng Li didn’t seem to have any special connection.
But Meng Li’s behavior was strange. Ever since she became Wen Nianyou’s hanger-on, she had refused to work in the restaurant because of the ridicule and exclusion from the young masters and mistresses in Nianyou’s circle.
Now not only was she working in the restaurant again, but she was also willing to expose the scar on her face.
This change was likely related to Sheng Tingyuan.
However, Ye Chuyi didn’t ask anything, it made no sense to actively vie for Meng Li’s presence in front of Sheng Tingyuan.
She followed Sheng Tingyuan to the private room and began to order food.
During this time, a server came in to serve them tea.
Ye Chuyi looked up and saw Meng Li’s face.
Meng Li glanced at her, but as if she didn’t recognize Ye Chuyi, her eyes quickly moved to Sheng Tingyuan, her gaze filled with affection and tenderness, “President Sheng, your tea, the Longjing Tea you like so much.”
Sheng Tingyuan didn’t look at her. He asked Ye Chuyi, “What would you like to drink?”
Ye Chuyi didn’t drink green tea, and ever since Shi Youjin had scalded her with a pot of hot tea, she had been wary, “Water is fine for me.”
She had suffered quite a bit at Meng Li’s hands, so when Meng Li brought the pot of tea closer, she instinctively moved back to prevent a “careless” spill.
Suddenly, Sheng Tingyuan spoke up, “We don’t need the tea, take it away.”
Meng Li paused, her gaze falling on Ye Chuyi. All she did was place a pot of tea, what was Ye Chuyi dodging for? So affected! She was clearly trying to get Sheng Tingyuan’s attention, such a green tea bitch!
