Huo Yuanshuang looked at Fang Yuechuan and asked, "Xiaochuan, do you know each other?"
Ren Jue also looked at Shi Yuan in surprise, as if he didn't expect it at all: "You and Yuechuan know each other?"
Shi Yuan: "..."
The question was so fatal that Shi Yuan didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
Ren Baiman didn't expect that things would turn out like this. She originally wanted Fang Yuechuan to come and meet Ren Jue's girlfriend. Maybe Fang Yuechuan would also have the idea of becoming friends, which would put her worries at ease... I almost regret it now.
If she had known that Shi Yuan was Ren Jue's girlfriend, even if she locked Fang Yuechuan at home, she would not let them meet again.
Seeing that Shi Yuan was still reluctant to speak, Fang Yuechuan answered for her: "We know her. Can I not know my ex-girlfriend?"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the box fell into dead silence.
Ren Baiman's well-maintained face couldn't control the ferocious expression at this moment, and the wrinkles on her brow were about to appear. Shi Yuan felt that she must want to kill herself now.
A few more seconds passed, and everyone was still in silence, not sure whether it was because of shock or embarrassment.
Shi Yuan decided to break the deadlock and said in a calm tone: "It has been six years since our relationship ended. No one has been younger. It is over. There is no need to mention it again."
Ren Jue also woke up, received Shi Yuan's signal, and answered: "Ah, yes, it seems that we are quite destined. Maybe we should be a family."
Fang Yuechuan chuckled and said, "My uncle is really good at joking. Can you really marry her?"
Seeing that Fang Yuechuan was going too far, Huo Yuanshuang scolded in a majestic voice: "Yuechuan."
Fang Yuechuan had an indifferent attitude, holding his chin and playing with the wine cup at hand.
Shi Yuan knew that today's matter would definitely not end well, but she felt no pressure. After all, she was just a shield brought by Ren Jue, and she did not need to really please Ren Jue's family.
Everyone present, except Fang Yuechuan, probably wanted to finish the meal peacefully, even though they knew in their hearts that they were only maintaining superficial politeness.
Huo Yuanshuang looked at Shi Yuan and asked, "You should be much younger than Ren Jue, right?"
Shi Yuan: "I am 5 years younger than him."
Huo Yuanshuang: "How long have you been together?"
This matter was not discussed in advance, and Shi Yuan did not answer immediately.
Ren Jue on the side said with a wink, "We have known each other for a few months and we just got together a week ago. I wanted to wait until the relationship was more stable before telling you, but you were too anxious."
Huo Yuanshuang: "Who keeps you away from Si Liu every day?"
Ren Jue: "Don't accuse me wrongly. I work hard every day."
Huo Yuanshuang: "..."
Shi Yuan finally understood that Fang Yuechuan's talkative skills were quite similar to Ren Jue's.
"Don't be poor, I'm talking to Shi Yuan," Huo Yuanshuang looked at Shi Yuan and asked with a gentle smile, "Shi Yuan, how did you and Ren Jue meet?"
Shi Yuan: "Ren Jue and our company have project cooperation. We met at work."
This is true. Shi Yuan first came into contact with Ren Jue because of the business cooperation between Yu Heng and Xing Li.
Huo Yuanshuang: "That's it. What position are you responsible for?"
Shi Yuan: "I work as an artist manager in a media company."
Huo Yuanshuang: "That's quite hard, right? I heard that many celebrities are big names and will use the people around them to their advantage."
Shi Yuan smiled and said, "That's an isolated phenomenon. The artists under me are very obedient."
Huo Yuanshuang wanted to ask again, but Ren Jue interrupted and said, "Mom, please drink some water. Why are you so talkative today? Don't be thirsty."
Huo Yuanshuang pretended to glare at him angrily: "You brat, I asked you a few more words about what's wrong. Ren Shiyuan didn't say anything, but you talked more."
Ren Jue: "I'm not afraid that you'll be hungry, so I haven't ordered yet."
Shi Yuan praised Ren Jue in her heart. The dinner was finally going to be open. If she kept asking like this, she was really afraid that she would reveal her secret.
Huo Yuanshuang: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Shi Yuan can order whatever he wants, no need to be constrained."
Shi Yuan smiled: "Just order it, I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything."
After saying these unintentional words, Shi Yuan glanced at Fang Yuechuan with a guilty conscience.
Sure enough, after Fang Yuechuan heard this, he raised an eyebrow and his expression became very intriguing.
Shi Yuan used to eat very vegetarian, in the literal sense of the word. She didn't eat fatty meats, and was very picky about all kinds of meats. She didn't even eat hard-boiled eggs, and only ate certain types of vegetables.
The level of the chef at No. 6 Middle School was pretty good among surrounding schools. Shi Yuan rarely ate meat dishes. Fang Yuechuan was afraid that Shi Yuan would be malnourished, so he often brought food from home to give her extra meals.
At that time, no one knew Shi Yuan's taste better than Fang Yuechuan. He even knew better than Shi Yuan himself. Therefore, no one had more say than him about whether Shi Yuan was picky about food.
Fortunately, he didn't expose it.
Seeing that Fang Yuechuan had no intention of speaking, Shi Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Yuan didn't order, so the job of ordering fell to Ren Jue. He knew his family's taste well, so the dishes he ordered were more suitable.
The light Hehuoyuanshuang flavor and the sour and sweet Herenbaiman flavor were both things Shi Yuan didn't like.
However, Shi Yuan's words had already been released, and no one knew that he was picky about food, so it was difficult to say anything.
After Ren Jue finished ordering, Fang Yuechuan said, "Give me the menu."
Fang Yuechuan has been out of the country all year round. Ren Jue was not sure about his preferences, thinking that he wanted to order by himself, so he naturally didn't say anything and handed over the menu.
Huo Yuanshuang looked at Fang Yuechuan and asked, "I heard from your mother that you are very good at your craft now?"
Fang Yuechuan looked at the menu carefully and replied casually: "It's OK."
Ren Baiman said with a smile: "Xiaochuan's craftsmanship is very good. When I have the opportunity someday, let him make a table for you to try."
"Is he so good now?" Ren Jue joked, "I remember when he was in high school, he would often fry the kitchen and make some dark dishes. He would fry several pots."
Ren Baiman said proudly: "It's a great progress."
Huo Yuanshuang couldn't help but nag Ren Jue: "You have the nerve to say that Xiaochuan knew how to cook when he was a child, but you can't even open a fire when you are thirty."
Ren Jue was dissatisfied and said: "That's his own taste. He doesn't eat when there is food at school. He insists on cooking it at home. There are so many requirements. If the chef is not satisfied with it, of course he has to make it himself."
Hearing this, Shi Yuan felt guilty inexplicably, picked up the tea on the table and drank it slowly.
Fang Yuechuan was not picky about what he ate, and when he heard it, he knew it was because of her, but it was no wonder that Ren Jue misunderstood, after all, Fang Yuechuan must not have told the truth to his family, and Ren Baiman only found out about their relationship after college.
"I'm not cooking it for myself." Fang Yuechuan suddenly said while flipping through the menu.
Shi Yuan's heart suddenly rose again, and her palms unconsciously clenched the cup.
Ren Jue raised his eyebrows: "If you don't do it for yourself, who will you do it for? Don't say you did it for my sister."
Fang Yuechuan didn't look at Shi Yuan and just said quietly: "For the person you like."
