Meanwhile, Wen Ningyue and Wang Bin, whose attention had been completely focused on the dining table, had also been keeping an ear on the others’ conversation. Hearing this, they both raised their heads. How could they let themselves fall behind!
Beating Wang Bin to the punch, Wen Ningyue hastily said, "If you need anything, come to me! They all have ulterior motives; they aren’t sincere! But I’m different. I want to be good sisters with you. I’m not like these men!"
Hearing this, Wang Bin put down his spoon and shot Wen Ningyue a sidelong glance. Having known her for so long, he hadn’t realized she could be this shameless. But he couldn’t fall behind either! He quickly adjusted his mindset, put on a righteous expression, and spoke to Gan Lan in a loud, sincere voice. "If you need anything—whether it’s heavy lifting or rough work—as long as it’s within my abilities, I will definitely get it done for you!" He gave an honest, foolish smile, his face turning slightly red. "I can be your sister too!"
Hearing Wang Bin’s words, Gan Lan let out a SPUTTER and choked on the soup she had just sipped. She shot him a meaningful look. She never expected Wang Bin to be this kind of person.
Seeing her gaze, Wang Bin’s face turned even redder. He could only bury his head and eat diligently, wishing he could bury his face directly into his bowl.
Yan Yifei’s hand paused as he picked up food, his mouth twitching. To think that this serious and honest-looking guy could actually spout such shameless words. He also gave Wang Bin a meaningful look.
Gao Haiyang also stopped picking up food. He turned his head and stared in shock at the red-faced man who was currently pretending to eat in earnest. He could actually do that? Gao Haiyang felt like he had lost.
Wu Mingyu was speechless. There was actually such a move? Why hadn’t he thought of it! He thought to himself that he never could have guessed Wang Bin was this kind of person. He, too, shot him a meaningful look.
As for Wang Bin... Wang Bin’s head was almost entirely buried in his bowl.
After hearing this, Wen Ningyue stopped eating as well. She stood up and circled Wang Bin again and again, looking at him as if she didn’t know him.
"Wang Bin, I never expected this," she began. "We’ve known each other for almost eighteen years, and only now have I seen your true colors. You hid it well. It seems what they say on the forums—that every man has a girlish heart—is true! How insightful!" She rubbed her chin with her thumb in deep thought, then cast a covert glance at Yan Yifei.
Yan Yifei inadvertently caught Wen Ningyue’s covert look. His hand trembled slightly. When he got back, he was definitely going to give Gao Haiyang a good beating to vent his frustration. He was furious.
Wen Ningyue sat back down. These people could really eat! She had been standing for less than a minute, and almost two-thirds of the dishes were already gone. These animals! She hurriedly rejoined the army of food snatchers.
Gan Lan had only eaten one bowl of rice and one bowl of soup. Having taken a few bites of each dish, she was already full. She retreated from the battlefield, planning to fetch the strawberry yogurt pudding she had prepared before they arrived.
The strawberry yogurt pudding was very simple to make, so it hadn’t taken Gan Lan much time. She took out the chilled, gorgeous, deep pink strawberry puddings—served in glass cups—one by one. Then, she diced the remaining strawberries and placed them on top as a garnish. They looked so cute and pretty that Gan Lan almost couldn’t bear to eat them.
Gan Lan walked out carrying the tray. The food on the dining table had practically bottomed out. She couldn’t help but marvel at how much these people from the future could eat; she had made enough food to feed eight people in her past life.
Yan Yifei was the first to see Gan Lan walk out with the tray. His eyes were immediately drawn to the five adorable, pretty desserts radiating a chill, and his gaze couldn’t help but follow her footsteps.
Being stared at like this, Gan Lan paused. Hesitantly, she reached out, took a cup, and handed it to Boss Yan, whose eyes were shining slightly. Yan Yifei took it with satisfaction. The others also looked up at her with expectation. Left with no choice, Gan Lan handed them out one by one.
"This is strawberry yogurt pudding," Gan Lan said.
Wen Ningyue scooped up a large spoonful and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour fruity flavor was rich, accompanied by a milky fragrance! She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. "This is too delicious! Your hands must be magic. I’m about to fall in love with you."
Gan Lan felt deeply exasperated. Although she should be happy that her food was so popular, she replied, "...I’ll pass. Delicious food is my only lover!"
Yan Yifei raised his eyes and looked at Gan Lan as she said this, his fingers unconsciously tapping against the table. Delicious food was her lover?
The other three were completely speechless. Although the dessert was very delicious, they didn’t really feel like talking.
