The Yun family's appearance is gorgeous, and the interior is also elegant and luxurious, all in retro gold and copper tones. The four-season bamboo screen placed in the entrance corridor is also priceless.
Tang Ling followed Yun Xiao in two or three steps, as if they had arrived together and their parents were already waiting for them at the dinner table.
"Dad, Mom, we are here." He said first.
"You guys are here, sit down and eat." Yun Mu happily stood up and took Tang Ling to sit down when she saw the two of them coming together, and then asked Yun Xiao to sit next to Tang Ling.
Yun Xiao smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves, looked at his father and asked kindly: "Dad, how are you doing lately?"
"Well, I can't die."
Yun Xiao's father, Yun Zhen, was once a powerful figure in the shopping mall, so he and his father, Tang You, had known each other since childhood. Even when they married their wives later, they chose to hold their weddings at the same time. After retirement, he stayed behind the scenes and worked on charity projects. Occasionally he would enjoy tea or play golf together.
The more Yunmu looked at Tang Ling, the more she liked it and kept adding vegetables to his plate. She wished that Tang Ling was her biological son. Looking at Yun Xiao, she was really a loser.
Yun Lin felt that he couldn't get in the conversation, so he suggested drinking.
The words were rejected by Yun Mu as soon as they came out.
"You're so young, what are you drinking? Did you learn bad things abroad?"
"It's okay. It's rare that Ling Ling and Yun Xiao come back together. It's okay to have some drinks." Yun Zhen did not disturb everyone's mood and asked Butler Ye to get a bottle of wine with about 16 degrees Celsius.
Butler Ye went to get the wine, and Yun Lin was so happy that he secretly thought about how to make Tang Ling look embarrassed.
Because brother Mintang said that Tang Ling couldn't drink.
As soon as the wine arrived, she toasted to Tang Ling, her tone not as explosive as before.
"Brother Ling, Yun Lin proposes a toast to you."
"good."
Tang Ling had wine on her face and was toasted by Yun Lin from time to time during the meal. After three glasses of wine, her cheeks were already flushed. His consciousness gradually became hazy, and he turned sideways to face Yun Xiao and leaned on the back of the chair.
He looked at Yun Xiao, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Drunk?"
Yun Xiao's voice was magnetic and fell into his heart, soft and tingling.
Seeing Tang Ling flirting with her brother, Yun Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "How is that possible? Brother, he is just pretending, I can't even get drunk..."
Before she could finish her words, she was frightened into silence by Yun Xiao's stern expression.
The drunken Tang Ling became well-behaved, and even the soft strands of hair on her forehead fell at the end of her eyebrows, which was really charming.
"I want...a hug." He blinked at Yun Xiao and his voice became softer.
Yun Xiao held the silver fork and tapped it on the gold-rimmed porcelain plate, making a crisp sound.
He had never seen Tang Ling look like this when he was drunk.
Seeing this, Yun Zhen ordered his son to send Tang Ling back to the room to rest, thinking that the two young people could spend the night at home tonight, and they would feel at ease.
Yun Xiao stood up and put one hand under his legs, the other hand hugged his waist, and carried him back to the room on the second floor.
They almost never stay overnight at the main house unless their parents force them to stay.
Tonight was indeed an exception, Tang Ling seemed happier than usual.
He put him down on the bed and took out his cell phone that vibrated intermittently. It was a message from Lu Mingtong.
[Won’t you have dinner with me tonight? ]
[I made a reservation at the Flashy Night Banquet. When will you arrive? ]
[Xiao, I miss you. Where are you? ]
Yun Xiao simply replied, "Wait until next time," and put away his phone.
He lowered himself to cover Tang Ling, then dimmed the light and prepared to go out.
In the darkness, Tang Ling whispered into Yun Xiao's ears.
"Beside you...why can't it be me?"
He stopped walking away, his face slightly moved.
"You do not deserve."
After finishing speaking, Yun Xiao left the room.
