The ten dishes and four soups were served on the table, wine was poured in crystal glasses and cutlery were arranged neatly. All that was left was the people to enjoy the feast.

Ge Ge ran to the dining table happily, almost forgetting that she had to entertain Bao Bao. “Wow, that’s a lot of food! Mommy, is it New Year’s?”

In her memory, she only got to enjoy a feast as such on New Year’s.

Bao Bao clung to He Yi as he was more interested in her than the food. “Aunt He, I want to sit with you!”

He Yi poked his tiny nose and teased smilingly, “Why are you clinging to me instead of the little beauty there? She is going to ignore you after this!”

“I don’t want to!” Bao Bao shook his head in disapproval. “I can’t stand Ge Ge, she is too childish!” Then, he shook He Yi’s arm and added, “I like you!”

He really did not like Ge Ge however he could not express his dislike out of politeness since Ge Ge was He Yi’s friend’s daughter. However, he could not make himself get close to her either.

Ji Xueshan stifled a laugh.

Wei Jiameng turned to Bao Bao and said as she blinked, “Young master, you should call your father and ask him over for dinner!”

She thought that the variety of dishes was a good excuse for He Yi and Yi Liangze to develop their relationship further.

He Yi pursed her lips at Wei Jiameng’s idea but she did not object.

“Sure, Aunt Wei!” Bao Bao agreed with the idea happily and took out his tiny phone to dial Yi Liangze’s number.

Wei Jiameng was ecstatic whereas Ji Xueshan took out her phone to check her appearance when no one was looking. As for He Yi, she took a seat casually and stared at Bao Bao who was making the call.

She figured that he should be able to come for dinner so he could bring Bao Bao home after that.

Although Bao Bao was close to her, she was just an acquaintance and she figured that his family would not be fine to let him stay the night outside.

Then, an uninvited guest came.

Yu Shujun was dressed extravagantly as if she was going to attend a grand party. She stepped into the Wei family’s house elegantly with her shiny jewelry like a queen stepping into a poor maiden’s house, making the small villa appear shabby.

“Aunt Yu!” Bao Bao’s eyes shone when he noticed her and he forgot about calling his father completely. He placed his phone down and dashed to her to pull her fingers and tug on her dress like an excited puppy around its owner.

Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan stood to invite her to a seat the moment He Yi said that Yu Shujun was a friend. “Miss Yu, have a seat! Let’s have dinner together!”

Yu Shujun declined with a polite smile, “I’m sorry, I have a date tonight!” She caressed Bao Bao’s tiny head affectionately and explained to He Yi smilingly, “I’m here because Young Master Yi asked me to fetch Bao Bao!”

He Yi’s heart sank for some reason and she forced a light smile. “Sure.”

“Is Daddy not coming?” Bao Bao was happy to see Yu Shujun but he became reluctant when he realized that she was going to take him back already.

“Something came up so he asked me to fetch you!” Yu Shujun bent over lovingly and planted a kiss on Bao Bao’s adorable cheek as she coaxed him like he was her child, “Be good, you’ve been out for the whole day! It’s time to go home!”

Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan thought that Bao Bao would not listen to her and follow her back so easily without insisting to eat there first. After all, it was common for children to throw tantrums. On the contrary, He Yi knew that he would never do that as the Bao Bao she knew was self-disciplined and well-mannered. He was extremely obedient and well-behaved.

She remembered that Bao Bao did not refuse nor act mischievously when Old Lady Yi and Fang Yaqin came to bring him home when he made the effort to take a cab by himself to follow He Yi to the Wei family’s house just because he wanted to see her.

As expected, Bao Bao thought for a while before nodding obediently despite his reluctance. “Alright!”

He Yi maintained the smile and turned to Yu Shujun, “Bao Bao is yours now. Remember to send him to Yi Liangze safely. I can’t afford to bear the consequences if he goes missing.”

Yu Shujun laughed, “Of course. I will send you a photo when I got him to Young Master Yi!”

She added He Yi into her WeChat contact list with that excuse.

He Yi exchanged contacts with Yu Shujun as she could not decline before sending her and Bao Bao off courteously.

“Bye, Aunt He!” Bao Bao was clearly reluctant, he turned his head in every three steps to wave goodbye with his arms before skipping back from some distance away.

He Yi was stunned as she was unsure of what he was going to do.

Bao Bao pulled on her fingers lightly and gestured her to lower her head. He approached her ears and whispered, “Aunt He, I’ll get you a present next time!”

He Yi did not know how to react, her heart was overflowing with warmth. He was honest as a kid and he would go all out to treat someone he like well. Although she did not really take his words of getting her a gift seriously, she treasured his precious thought. She replied sincerely, “Thank you! I will look forward to it!”

Wei Jiameng muttered to He Yi after Yu Shujun and Bao Bao left in a grand Maserati, “I think she came here with some kind of motive!”

He Yi could not help but thought became amused as they walked to the villa, “Tell me, what kind of motive?”

“Hmph, I can tell that things are not that simple!” Wei Jiameng analyzed, “I’m guessing that she’s preparing to steal Young Master Yi from you!”

He Yi took a seat at the dining table in the living room and took her chopsticks. “He’s not mine, why would she steal him from me?”

“Sigh!” Wei Jiameng pouted with displease. “He Yi, are you really that stupid? Young Master Yi is clearly interested in you, even his son likes you… By the way, did you notice how similar Bao Bao’s eyes are to yours? Perhaps you look similar because you’re going to be a family…”

He Yi took a prawn and placed it into Wei Jiameng’s plate. “Stop talking nonsense! Peel the prawn for Ge Ge!”

Ge Ge was pouting exactly like her mother as she was upset because Bao Bao left. The two of them were simple-minded and always portraying their emotions on their faces!

Wei Jiameng peeled the prawn for her daughter as she continued lecturing He Yi, “Take my word for it! You should grasp the opportunity! He has been helping you a lot, you’re lying to yourself if you think that he’s uninterested! Besides, a man with status like him naturally has a lot of interested women around him, it’s nothing shocking! Don’t mind Yu Shujun too much and don’t hold a grudge against Young Master Yi because of her…”

He Yi’s heart skipped a beat. Although Wei Jiameng was simple-minded, she understood her well as they have known each other for many years. Indeed, she thought that Yi Liangze was interested in her like Wei Jiameng said but Yu Shujun’s arrival that night made her realize how highly she thought of herself.

A steady and superior boss lady like Yu Shujun would never make up a fake excuse to reach her goal. Therefore, her picking Bao Bao up must have been Yi Liangze’s idea!
