After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 453 The cheap owner is hers, this ice cream cone is just interest.
Seeing that neither of the parties involved seemed to care, the people in the courtyard stopped talking about anything related to Liu Ruyu.

Moreover, they might have misunderstood each other. However, people always have varying degrees of closeness, and to avoid awkwardness, they had no choice but to let the other person go. This meant losing a source of income, and they would now have to find a new job.

In fact, there's nothing wrong with liking someone, but you should be careful not to cause trouble for the other person, especially if you know they already have someone they like; you should avoid interfering in their relationship.

Que Lu felt the most guilty of all of them, after all, he was the one who personally invited Liu Ruyu to cook for him, and now he was the one who made the call to fire her.

After hanging up the phone, he hesitated for a moment, then sent a large red envelope.

After waiting a while, I saw that Liu Ruyu had accepted the red envelope and even sent me a thank you emoji, which made me feel much better.

Neither Li Jingmo nor Lin Shuangshuang had formally met Liu Ruyu. They refrained from commenting on the matter during the meal, and were even less likely to say anything about it afterward.

Zhu Heng and Que Bingchen also did not want to get involved in the younger generation's romantic relationships. After all, such matters are like drinking water; only the person drinking knows whether it is hot or cold.

Que Zhiyun, however, found that the more she recalled the matter, the more likely her guess at the dinner table was true. But since this was clearly a speculation that would upset others, she wisely chose not to say anything.
As for the two parties involved...

Jiang Hanying genuinely had no feeling that Sister Liu might have taken a liking to the cheap master.

Back in the Canglan Realm, there were many female cultivators who were either beautiful, highly skilled, or both, and even a few male cultivators who openly or secretly expressed their desire to become Daoist partners with their cheap master. In the end, none of them succeeded.

Even if Liu Ruyu really takes a liking to her cheap master, it's just like those female and male cultivators before her—at most, it's just wishful thinking.

She's still guarding it, as if the sword doesn't exist?

From the moment she gained sentience in the hands of her cheap master, her first thought was: she belongs to her cheap master, and so does he!
Whether it's a human or some other deformed or broken sword, anyone who dares to steal her cheap master will either die or be broken!
Even in this world, she'd still fight without hesitation, risking being struck by lightning for breaking the rules!

It's so arrogant!

Li Chengxiao felt even less anything. He had barely spoken a few words to Liu Ruyu, and those were all out of politeness. To him, Liu Ruyu was just a stranger he had met a few times.

What others think of him is none of his business!
After glancing at Pei Yuan's message urging her to go back and get her makeup done, Jiang Hanying looked up and called out to the kitchen, "Yue Zhuo, are you done yet?"

"Alright, alright." Yue Zhuo hurriedly ran out, shaking his still dripping hands, and stood in front of Jiang Hanying, obediently waiting for the next instructions.

Jiang Hanying waved goodbye to everyone in the yard, then looked at her cheap owner who had gone back into the house to get the car keys.

"Let's go."

Yue Zhuo followed the two to the front of the car. Seeing Jiang Hanying open the passenger door and get in, he sat in the back seat.

As soon as the car drove out of the alley, Jiang Hanying spotted a beverage shop on the street. Before she could even say anything, she realized the car had slowly stopped by the roadside, and immediately shut her mouth.

Li Chengxiao unbuckled his seatbelt. "Don't get out. Wait for me in the car." With that, he opened the car door, got out, and walked straight towards the beverage shop.

Jiang Hanying sat obediently in the car and waited for the ice cream cone to be poured directly into her mouth.

The beverage shop was quiet at lunchtime, with only two employees. One of them was busy eating lunch, while the other stood behind the counter, waiting for customers while memorizing recipes.

Then a deep male voice came from above, "Excuse me, do you have cantaloupe-flavored ice cream cones?"

The shop assistant looked up abruptly, and after adjusting her glasses and clearly seeing the man standing in front of the counter, she paused for a few seconds before stammering, "Huan, welcome! I'm sorry, we don't have cantaloupe flavored ice cream cones."

She paused for a moment, then quickly added, "But we also have original strawberry mango and chocolate flavors."

"Please wait a moment."

"Oh, okay, sure." The shop assistant stared blankly as the other person took out their phone, seemingly making a voice call.

Jiang Hanying answered the call while sitting in the car.

"What's wrong? No ice cream cones for sale?"

“Yes, but not cantaloupe flavor,” Li Chengxiao repeated the flavors the clerk had mentioned. “Could you choose a different flavor?”

Jiang Hanying's eyes darted around, "Then I'll have one of each flavor."

"No, that's too much, it'll upset your stomach."

The shop assistant could faintly hear the voice coming from the phone. Looking at the obvious bite mark on the man's lip, she thought to herself that such a handsome guy had already found a girlfriend. She then whispered, "Um, sir, we can also make a four-in-one ice cream cone, the kind with four flavors stacked together."

Upon hearing the suggestion from the shop assistant on the phone, Jiang Hanying immediately decided, "I'll take this four-in-one."

"it is good."

Li Chengxiao hung up the phone. "Let's make the one you recommended."

The shop assistants quickly put on gloves and got to work.

"Okay, sir, you can pay by scanning the QR code with your phone."

After paying, Li Chengxiao took the ice cream cone, asked for two extra tissues, turned around, walked to the car, and knocked on the passenger window.

The shop assistant craned his neck to look, but unfortunately he still couldn't see what the girl looked like, the one whose boyfriend had stopped the car halfway to buy an ice cream cone. He only saw a fair, jade-like hand reach out of the window, take the ice cream cone, and then pull it back in. Immediately afterward, the car window rolled up again.

Li Chengxiao walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and had just sat down when he heard the person next to him, who was already eagerly eating an ice cream cone, say in a righteous tone: "You still owe me an ice cream cone."

"Still owe? What are you eating now?"

"This is interest. It's your fault for not being able to buy the cantaloupe flavor, so I can only use this one in my hand as compensation for now."

Li Chengxiao: "..."

This person's mind is really sharp when it comes to food.

This time, he was truly convinced!

The car started up again, and Jiang Hanying quickly finished the strawberry and mango flavors. Next was the original flavor. She glanced at her cheap owner, who was focused on driving, and asked, "Want to try some?"

Without even thinking, Li Chengxiao shook his head: "No, you eat it yourself."

According to Jiang Hanying's calculation, he's afraid his ice cream debt will pile up!

In the end, I might have to buy a machine to make these ice cream cones to pay off my debt.

Jiang Hanying's little scheme failed, so she had no choice but to withdraw her hand and continue eating happily.

When the car stopped in the alley next to the hotel, Jiang Hanying had just finished her ice cream cone. She wiped her mouth with the tissue that was wrapped around the cone, and just then a hand reached out from the side.

Without thinking, she placed the used tissue on the table, and Li Chengxiao naturally took it.

Yue Zhuo, who sat in the back seat and didn't dare to utter a sound the whole time, felt like he should be under the car instead of inside it!
