Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!
Chapter 404 Jealousy

Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Jealousy

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen didn’t ask any more questions and started driving towards Shengting.

The car stopped on the side of a small street outside Jing University, which was especially lively at night, filled with all manner of eating, drinking, and entertainment.

Hand in hand, the pair leisurely strolled the street, attracting many gazes that revealed expressions of astonishment.

Xiao Chen directly pulled her towards a small stall that wasn’t very big, selling tofu pudding.

"This place has good tofu pudding."

Yun Yue raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by his choice as he seemed too prideful and aloof to eat at such a humble stall.

"Two bowls of tofu pudding, please."

"Sure, take a seat first,"the owner hollered.

He moved a wooden stool over for Yun Yue. The tables and stools were a bit short; when he sat, it only reached up to his knees, and it was apparent he wasn’t quite comfortable, but he sat with an air of nonchalance.

The stall was busy, with all four-sided tables occupied. Next to them sat another couple who had been affectionately intimate until they became reserved after the two of them sat down.

The man couldn’t take his eyes off Yun Yue. His girlfriend, who was also quite pretty, was clearly displeased and glared at her.

Suddenly, she stood up, yanked his ear, stood on the stool, and said unreasonably, "Do you think she’s pretty? If she’s so pretty, why don’t you ask for her WeChat instead of just staring?"

This instantly drew snickers from the surrounding spectators, who watched amusedly.

Some even started to tease.

"Bro, you’re pretty bold. The guy next to you looks like he’s about to murder someone with his gaze, and yet you stare so intently. No wonder your girlfriend is jealous."

In terms of looks and demeanor, Xiao Chen and Yun Yue far surpassed others on the street, so naturally, they drew attention.

But having a girlfriend and still ogling another girl, it’s no wonder she was jealous.

The girlfriend snorted and turned to Yun Yue, saying, "Sister, let me get your WeChat for my boyfriend to stop him from daydreaming about you."

"She doesn’t use WeChat."

Yun Yue was about to speak, but the person next to her had already spoken for her. She turned and raised an eyebrow playfully.

The man’s domineering gaze swept toward the other guy, who quickly became cowed and averted his eyes.

’How could there be such a frightening guy? Just one glance at his girlfriend and that’s not allowed? She’s so beautiful, yet I can’t even look?’

"Did you hear that? She doesn’t use WeChat," said the girlfriend arrogantly, pointing at the leftover tofu pudding. "Finish it quickly, don’t waste food. I’ll deal with you when we get back."

The guy immediately started gobbling down the tofu pudding, carefully glancing at her.

Seeing this, the girlfriend laughed, sat back down, and moved closer to Yun Yue, nudging her arm, "Sister, is he your boyfriend?"

She didn’t dare to look directly at Xiao Chen, only daring to take a quick glance before looking away, as the man’s presence was too overwhelming.

"Sort of," Yun Yue nodded slightly.

The girlfriend immediately became excited and said excitedly yet subtly, "I didn’t see that coming. Your tactics are pretty high level. You know, you can’t indulge men, especially not those of his caliber. We should swap WeChats and share tips."

Yun Yue: "..."

The girlfriend, as if anticipating her response, cut in, "Don’t tell me you don’t have WeChat."

"Alright then," Yun Yue resignedly took out her phone, and the girl quickly opened her app to scan and add her. Looking at the successful friend request, she opened her Moments with a beaming smile.

Her smile quickly faded. It was blank; there was nothing there.

The girl looked at her with an odd expression, surprised that someone so attractive didn’t even have a single selfie; she knew other pretty girls who filled their Moments with beautiful photos. Yun Yue seemed different from most girls.

After the boy finished eating, she reluctantly said goodbye to Yun Yue and left.

Their bowls of tofu pudding were also served.

"Sir, it’s been several years since you’ve been here, right? This time you brought your girlfriend?" The boss was an auntie who recognized him at a glance.

Her gaze was direct, and she couldn’t help but praise, "You have good taste, this girl is pretty."

"I think so too," Xiao Chen looked at her with a gentle gaze, and his lips curved into a smile.

Yun Yue hung her head low, scooping up the tofu pudding with a spoon and shoveling it into her mouth, "Salty?"

The tofu pudding in Lan City was always sweet; this was her first time eating a sweet one, with some added ingredients—it was not bad in taste.

"Yes, Aunt Chang has been selling tofu pudding here for over ten years, and it tastes quite good. I used to come here a lot while studying at Jing University," said Xiao Chen indifferently, his well-defined fingers wrapped around a spoon, eating with elegance that seemed out of place in this environment.

But it was this very person, sitting amidst the bustling snack street, who seemed to blend in with the surroundings.

Yun Yue’s lips curled slightly, and her usually cold eyes gradually warmed as she ate the salty tofu pudding.

Life is like this bowl of tofu pudding, both sweet and salty, the flavor is what you add to it.

She once thought her life was bitter until she met the people around her, and it slowly became sweeter.

She liked this taste.

After eating, the two of them left hand in hand.

A tall, cold figure appeared where they had left, his lips curving into a slight, chilly smile. He walked over to where Yun Yue had been sitting and, with Wu Qing behind him, took out a handkerchief and wiped the table and bench clean before Qiu Jun sat down.

The cold, formidable aura emanating from the two frightened the people nearby, who dared not look directly at them.

Wu Qing, expressionless, stood behind him and called out, "Boss."

Aunt Chang came over, afraid to look Qiu Jun in the eye, and asked timidly, "Sir, what flavor of tofu pudding would you like?"

Qiu Jun frowned slightly, looking at the uncomfortably low chairs, and said coldly, "Serve the same flavor that the girl with the duckbill cap just had."

"Okay," Aunt Chang replied quickly and hurried away to prepare.

Because Qiu Jun was sitting there, no one else dared to occupy the table, and the tofu pudding arrived still steaming hot.

It looked exquisite and, indeed, appetizing.

The delicacies of Huaxia were always desirable and intriguing.

Qiu Jun, with half Huaxia blood flowing within him, grew up abroad and knew nothing of Huaxia’s culture or customs—his knowledge came solely from books.

Though it is all one country, each region has its tastes, some preferring sweet, some preferring sweet.

After one taste, he found he no longer had an appetite. When had she started to like this kind of flavor?

Hadn’t she always preferred sweet?

Qiu Jun elegantly took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, his eyes and brows frosted over with chill. He slowly put on his glasses and stood up to head toward Shengting.

"How goes the investigation you were tasked with?" Qiu Jun looked back at Wu Qing.

Wu Qing spoke icily, "According to the address you provided, we both went to look into it. The items there seem to have already been taken by someone."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Jun’s eyes flashed, his gaze deepening with thought. Who exactly was Xiao Chen?

Over these years, those investigating the 613 incident have only been a few forces. He knew Xiao Chen’s people had always been stationed in Rock Village, so it was more likely that his people had taken the items.

If the goods really fell into his hands, that would be somewhat troublesome.
