Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.
Chapter 242 The Water Pipe Business
Lu Jinnan was sitting on a chair, holding Little Strawberry in his arms. Little Strawberry was sitting on his lap, playing games with him. He was teaching his daughter to play "Clap Once, I Clap Once".
In contrast, Ji Hancheng quietly held Xiaoyouzi without saying a word. Xiaoyouzi was playing with a Rubik's Cube by herself, turning it randomly.
The first impression the two give is that they are perfect stay-at-home dads.
Lu Jinnan glanced at a group of girls huddled together in the distance, chatting. Curious about what they were talking about, he turned to Han Yue, who had just sat down to smoke, and asked, "Han Yue, what do you think girls usually talk about when they're chatting in a group? You're not talking about us, are you?"
"You see, when we boys chat or play mahjong together, we always talk about girls, which girl is pretty, which girl is pleasing to the eye, which girl has a good figure."
Ji Hancheng didn't need to guess what the women were plotting. From this angle, Su Xue was encouraging Xi Xi, which was enough to prove that they were talking about Han Yue.
He remained silent, wanting only to watch the show quietly, his gaze fixed on Han Yue, while his hand held the baby bottle for Xiao Youzi to hold and drink from.
Little Yuzu took the bottle, handed the Rubik's Cube to her father, and started drinking.
Tang Junyao was preparing ingredients for the barbecue and hot pot that evening, going in and out. Ji Hancheng originally wanted to help, but Tang Junyao stopped him, saying that the kitchen was off-limits to disabled people.
So now only a few women are busy, along with Xu Mingkai and A Yuan.
Han Yue took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaling a smoke ring that blurred his handsome, aloof face. He taunted Lu Jinnan, "I won't talk about you, no matter who else you're talking about. You can rest assured about that."
Lu Jinnan, holding Little Strawberry, cursed, "Damn it."
Chi Han-cheng cautioned, "You have to lead by example. How can you be a father if you don't know that children are easily led astray?"
Lu Jinnan: "............"
Han Yue was in a good mood and continued to find amusement. "After staying in Tihou for so many days, your temper is still so strong. Is it because the eldest daughter of the Su family didn't make love to you, or are you just not good enough?"
Lu Jinnan: This guy has a killer chat skill; he can always kill the conversation and drive people crazy. He always brings up the most sensitive topics.
If he hadn't brought this up, he would have completely forgotten about the Tihou balloon incident, which was all caused by that unscrupulous businessman.
He still has the nerve to mention it.
Lu Jinnan's face was gloomy as he glared at Han Yue. "Did you try to save money on buying small balloons? Couldn't you have put in a little bit of every size?"
Han Yue instantly understood, glancing at a certain part of Lu Jinnan's body, and parted his thin lips slightly, "So what's wrong with it? Is it too big or too small?"
Ji Hancheng was caught off guard and choked on his soda. He also subconsciously looked at a certain part of Lu Jinnan's body next to him and nodded meaningfully.
Lu Jinnan: "............"
Before Lu Jinnan could answer, Han Yue could tell from his expression that they had guessed correctly. He kindly explained, "I don't have a habit of watching live broadcasts, and don't worry, I didn't install any cameras in your room. I can tell just by looking at your size that it's not quite right. I'll talk to the purchasing department about it another day."
Then, shaking his head with a hint of exasperation, he said, "It's my fault for not watching enough cartoons; I couldn't find anything suitable for you."
Lu Jinnan's heart was once again deeply wounded by the blatant contempt from his two close friends.
Lu Jinnan's face darkened, and he retorted in a gloomy tone, "On behalf of my whole family, I thank you for taking such good care of me."
Han Yue, assuming Lu Jinnan was genuinely grateful, accepted the gift with a smile, saying, "You're welcome."
Lu Jinnan: "How dare you, an old virgin, talk such a professional game?"
Han Yue gave him a look as if he were an idiot. "Never eaten pork, but haven't you seen pigs run? Has your IQ been eclipsed?"
Lu Jinnan thought to himself that there was no way to continue the conversation; it had reached a dead end.
Han Yue gave Ji Hancheng a cryptic look. "Are you suitable?"
Ji Hancheng lied guiltily, holding Xiaoyouzi while playing with his son's earlobe, "The quality is not good."
Han Yue knew perfectly well that he was useless, but he didn't expose him. He said with a half-smile, "You have pretty high standards. Why don't you order one yourself?"
Several women walked over. Su Xue put her hand on Lu Jinnan's shoulder, while Han Guoguo leaned against Han Yue's back with her arm bent, smiling as she asked, "What are you chatting about so happily?"
Su Xue only stayed for a few minutes, kissed Xiaocaozi on the forehead, and then went to find her best friend. Lan Yunxi needed to sort out her thoughts, so she didn't join in the fun and went to the kitchen to find Tang Junyao.
Lu Jinnan misspoke, not treating Guoguo as a girl, "Brother Cheng said he wants to start an umbrella factory."
Han Yue shrugged, expressing his dissatisfaction, "Get out of the way, don't you have any idea how heavy you are? You're terribly heavy."
Han Guoguo leaned close to her brother's ear, her voice audible only to the two of them, "Han Duidui, why are you so difficult to deal with? You always complain about my age or my weight. You're more annoying than Aunt Flo. Let me give you a piece of advice: you'll easily end up alone."
Han Yue knew exactly what his resentful sister meant, so he pursed his lips and remained silent, then turned around and glared at her: That's enough.
Han Guoguo got up from Han Yue's shoulder, clapped her hands, and said, "So what if you don't want to be on me? You're something else." She shrugged nonchalantly and said to Ji Hancheng opposite her, "Brother Cheng, do you have some special thing about umbrellas? Or do you like to study these things? I'm worried about Yao Yao."
Ji Hancheng was amused by these guys and smirked as he shifted the blame, "Lu Jinnan complained that the umbrellas at your brother's hotel were of poor quality. I'm planning to take his measurements another day and have a set custom-made as a wedding gift for him."
Han Guoguo was surprised by these words. She looked at Lu Jinnan with her eyes full of sympathy and pity. It was really not appropriate for a girl to look at that area so openly. "Xiao Nan, it's okay. If you're sick, we'll get treatment. Don't feel guilty. We're all friends and won't look at you strangely."
Lu Jinnan: I'm not sick, what kind of eyes do you all have? If I were sick, they would have sent me chrysanthemums to mourn me if they suspected me.
She subconsciously squeezed her legs together, crossed them, and covered them tightly.
Han Yue choked on his own smoke and was coughing, "Cough cough cough..."
Lu Jinnan was truly impressed by this brother and sister duo. They could roast someone to death, and comfort someone so much they could make them faint. They were truly siblings.
He suspected that the two siblings were the Black and White Impermanence in their past lives.
Seeing Han Guoguo, who was trying not to laugh, approach, Tang Junyao asked curiously, "What are you talking about so enthusiastically over there?"
As Tang Junyao asked, she gently placed the freshly washed enoki mushrooms on the corner of the table.
Han Guoguo glanced at Su Xue, then at Lan Yunxi, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to lie, calmly saying, "It's a project between men, a water pipe business."
Su Xue believed it to be true and didn't ask any more questions, as she was never interested in anything related to business.
Whether it's the Ji family, the Han family, or the Lu family, their businesses are quite extensive. As for Guoguo saying they were talking about the water pipe business, no one thought much of it. No one would have guessed that the water pipe wasn't a real water pipe.
While the food was being plated, Su Xue and Han Guoguo also got to work. Xu Mingkai brought out the hot pot base, saying, "Young Madam, please stand a little further back, I'll put the pot on."
"Okay, slow down, be careful it's hot."
"Okay, young mistress." Tang Junyao was already used to this form of address, and even if they asked her to change it, they couldn't. It was just a form of address anyway, and given her current relationship with Ji Hancheng, there was no need to insist on using this form of address.
While they were busy, Lan Yunxi leaned close to Tang Junyao's ear and told her about the phone call she had just made to her mother.
She was surprised, but not surprised either. After all, Tang Junyao thought her aunt's thinking was very progressive, so it wasn't strange that she said this to Xixi. In fact, her aunt was right.
This immediately made her think of Ji Hancheng. Now, Ji Hancheng was always trying to please her, like a child afraid of making a mistake, indulging her in every way.
As a girl, she naturally hoped that men would accommodate her, but she didn't want Ji Hancheng to lose his original charm in love.
So she told Ji Hancheng so frankly that she hoped he wouldn't lose himself.
She whispered to Xixi, who was helping her, "Auntie is right. You are excellent. You can show your best side. If Han Yue is moved, that would be great. If not, I don't want you to keep pursuing him. Our little princess is not short of admirers."
Xi Xi smiled gently, a smile as warm as the winter sun, melting people's hearts.
