Upon seeing the man and woman walking through the door, Yi Yujian felt extremely embarrassed and shot her husband a sidelong glance. What was all this about?

She had just told her sister that her younger brother was too busy to pick her up, but then he showed up with Xia Yanyan. Wasn’t that akin to slapping her in the face?

The other people in the dining room suddenly put on a show of watching a drama unfold.

Did MO Fei know that Ye Xingguang would come today, so he deliberately brought Xia Yanyan to make a statement?

Ye Junqing walked in from outside. Upon seeing the tight-lipped Ye Xingguang, he appeared surprised to encounter her here. He paused in his steps, his eyebrows slightly wrinkling in thought, but then he quickly resumed his pace and walked straight towards Ye Xingguang. He pulled out the empty seat next to her and sat down, mockingly.

“Happy birthday, cousin,” Xia Yanyan said, her tone considerably warmer.

As soon as she entered, she handed over a small, exquisite gift to Yi Yujian, showing the care she had put into selecting it.

“Thank you.”

Yi Yujian accepted the gift grumpily. Even though she held no grudge against her cousin Xia Yanyan, she wished she wasn’t here at that moment.

But since she had already arrived, Yi Yujian couldn’t dismiss her outright and kept up a polite smile.

However, the seating had been arranged according to the number of people. With her younger brother seated, there was only one vacant seat left – meant for Fu Zhuo, to the right of her younger brother.

Fu Zhuo hadn’t taken his seat yet, and if they let her cousin sit, it would create an awkward scene of her brother being flanked by two ladies. That would be too embarrassing.

Those unaware might even think she invited her cousin intentionally to put her in a difficult position.

Yi Yujian made a quick decision and instructed MO Fei, “MO Fei, ask the waiter to add a seat next to you and the chess book for Yan Yan.”

MO Fei stood up and said, “Okay.”

While Xia Yanyan was a little disappointed that she couldn’t sit next to Ye Junqing, it didn’t dampen her spirits, because she saw that Ye Xingguang looked incredibly embarrassed.

Ye Xingguang was seething inside, internally cursing Ye Junqing to death a thousand times, hoping he would choke on iced water or be suffocated by cabbage!

The atmosphere in the room didn’t continue its tense progression. Someone revitalised the mood, and it quickly became lively.

Yi Yujian tried to make things comfortable for Ye Xingguang, ‘Younger sister, would you like red wine or some other drink?”

Seeing a jug of chilled watermelon juice on the table, Ye Xingguang said, “I’ll have the iced watermelon juice.”

She desperately needed something to cool her down right now!

Just as the waiter was about to pour her a drink, Ye Junqing blocked the cup with his hand, “Get her a hot drink.’ noveldrama

Ye Xingguang was already fuming inside and had no interest in indulging Ye Junqings provocations. Plus, she was boiling with anger, so she stubbornly insisted, “l want something cold.”

Yi Yujian also said, “Younger brother, you can’t be so domineering. You get to decide her drink? If my husband tried to control what I drink, I wouldn’t stand for it. Waiter, listen to my little sister, pour her a chilled drink.” Ye Junqing simply remarked, “She’s about to have her period.”

” Pfft…

Ji Qishu had just brought his wine to his lips when he choked, looking up incredulously. How did Ye Junqing know such intimate details about Ye Xingguang?

Fu Zhuo didn’t get it yet and curiously asked, “Brother Qing, what day is it?”

Crack…

Ye Xingguang’s face instantly turned beet red!

She was very regular, it would come either tonight or tomorrow morning at the same time each month. But she had definitely not revealed this information in any municipal documentation.. How on earth did Ye Junqing know that she was about to have her period?
