Chapter 876 They’re Really Difficult to Understand
Wei Zhiqian remembered that Ming Yeqing had helped him before.
It was because of Ming’s reminder that made him face his feelings towards Tan Mo.
Otherwise, he might have to continue lying to himself for G.o.d knows how long.
Although he said that he despised Ming…
But in his heart, he had a good impression of the guy.
Now that he heard that Tan Mo wanted to set up Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye, he felt that this was probably fate.
Ming had promoted their relations.h.i.+p. Now Tan Mo also wanted to promote his and Qin Muye’s relations.h.i.+p. Hence, Wei Zhiqian replied, “If there’s anything that you need my help with, just let me know. After I’m done with my work, if your gathering hasn’t ended, I’ll go look for you directly. If the gathering is about to end, tell me as soon as possible. I’ll pick you up.”
Wei Zhiqian was worried that Tan Mo would be conscious about delaying his work, so he didn’t want to tell her.
So he told her, “Even if I’m not done with work, I can take it home to continue.”
“Okay,” Tan Mo replied with a smile.
Zhu s.h.i.+yao couldn’t see Tan Mo’s chat content, but she could see her expression.
She was very curious. Who was Tan chatting with? Why was she smiling so sweetly?
Even from the side, she could see a little of the light in Tan’s eyes.
If the side was already like this, then how bright would her eyes be if she were to look at them from the front?
At this moment, Tan Mo’s eyes were not only bright, even her cheeks were flushed red.
Because she had a bun updo on her head today, the whole of her small face was evident.
Thus, Zhu s.h.i.+yao could easily see Tan Mo’s expression.
This was clearly the appearance of someone in love. This happens only when one is chatting with the person she likes very much.
It was because Tan Mo’s expression was too obvious, one could see it at a glance.
Zhu s.h.i.+yao could not help but think, could it be that Tan Mo already had a boyfriend?
The person that Ming Yeqing liked was not her?
Or could it be that even though he knew that Tan Mo had a boyfriend, Ming still liked her?
And Tan was also hanging on to him?
It was too complicated, Zhu s.h.i.+yao’s head hurt from thinking about it again.
She looked at Ming Yeqing again and saw that he was still being occupied with Bian Chengping’s discussion.
So she confirmed that the person who had sent a message to Tan Mo wasn’t Ming anymore.
After a while, the dishes were served one after another.
Cheng Xiuze finally managed to persuade Bian Chengping, “Come, let’s eat first, we can’t finish the research. After all, there is no end to learning, there will always be many questions that need us to answer. Even though it’s only a matter of time, we still have to let ourselves relax a little and adjust our state of mind before we can continue the
war.”
Only then did Bian Chengping stop talking.
Ming Yeqing heaved a sigh of relief and busied himself with serving dishes that Qin Muye and Tan Mo could not reach.
He didn’t neglect either of them.
It was really hard for everyone to understand.
Other than Cheng Xiuze, no one could understand who Ming Yeqing really liked.
From the moment Zhu s.h.i.+yao sat down, she didn’t have the chance to talk to Ming.
Before the dishes were served, Ming was pulled into a discussion by Bian Chengping.
After the dishes were served, Ming was busy taking care of Qin Muye and Tan Mo.
Moreover, there was a Tan Mo between her and Ming, so it was not convenient for her to talk to him.
Zhu s.h.i.+yao thought for a moment and picked up her clean plate that had not been filled with anything yet.
Since it was the person she liked, of course she had to do her best to give the other party a good impression.
How unsightly it would be if there were food or bones on the plate.
She was also afraid that he would dislike it.
So, she had paid special attention when she was eating just now.
She specially chose to not have any food with bones, and would not drip the soup onto the plate.
After much effort, she finally found an empty s.p.a.ce and wanted to pa.s.s the plate to Ming Yeqing through Tan Mo, “Senior Ming, I can’t reach the dishes over there, can you help me pick some food up?”
Unexpectedly, Ming did not receive it and she was stopped by Tan Mo, “Which one do you want? The one on the edge? Muye is closer.”
Tan handed the plate to Qin Muye, “Muye, help Junior Zhu get it.”
“Sure.” Qin Muye took it without complaint.
Seeing this, Zhu s.h.i.+yao simply ordered the litchi shrimp ball on the edge.
Even if Qin Muye wanted to get it, she would have to stand up.
Either she had to bend down and try her best to get it, or she would have to go around to the corner of the table.
If it was the former, her actions wouldn’t look good.
If it was the latter, wouldn’t Qin Muye look like her little servant girl?
Zhu s.h.i.+yao wanted Qin to make a fool of herself on purpose.
She wanted Qin to serve her.
However, Qin Muye wouldn’t do such a thing.
Since she knew about Zhu s.h.i.+yao from Tan Mo, she had to be wary of her.
However, Qin hadn’t guessed Zhu’s dark intentions yet.
She just directly called the waiter over and asked him to help Zhu pick up a few dishes.
Other than Ming Yeqing and Tan Mo, everyone else was stunned by Qin Muye’s action.
Even the waiter was stunned.
He had never seen a customer call their waiter over just to pick up a few dishes.
But their restaurant did not state that their service did not include this portion.
So the waiter still did it.
Only Ming Yeqing, Qin Muye, and Tan Mo were unusually calm.
As if this was a matter of course.
They usually did not do this, but it did not mean that they could not do it.
The three of them frequented places, such as the down-to-earth snack stalls, but they went to high-end restaurants and hotels as well.
How could Qin Muye not be able to handle such a small scene?
Zhu s.h.i.+yao said to Qin Muye in front of the waiter who was picking up food, “Why do you have to trouble the waiter for such a small matter? There are a lot of customers tonight, and they are very busy. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone around to pick it up myself.”
She had wanted to imply that Qin Muye was very troublesome and pampered. She even had to trouble the waiter for such a small matter.
However, she did not expect Tan Mo to nod as well. “That’s right.”
Immediately, Zhu s.h.i.+yao felt that something was amiss.
Tan Mo would never agree with her words.
What was Tan Mo holding back?
Then, Tan said, “I also feel that since there are no outsiders here, there’s no need to be so particular about it. Everyone is free to eat what they want. If you can’t reach what you want to eat, just take a plate and bowl and go around to get it. There’s no need to be polite.”
“Junior Zhu, don’t bother the waiter or Muye. You should go and pick it up yourself. You know what you want to eat and how much you want to eat.” Tan Mo stood up, walked around and took the plate and chopsticks from the waiter before walking back and stuffing them into Zhu s.h.i.+yao’s hands.
Zhu s.h.i.+yao: “…”
Had she asked Qin Muye for help?
She had asked Ming Yeqing for help in the beginning!
It was Tan Mo and Qin Muye who had taken the initiative to help her. In the end, not only did they not give her food, but they also even despised her for ordering people around? Zhu s.h.i.+yao was secretly fuming in her heart, but she did not expect to hear Ming Yeqing also say: “Yes, everyone is so familiar with each other, there is no need to be polite. Whatever you want to eat, you can go and get it yourself, no one will laugh at you.”
