In a luxurious villa in Shanghai.
In the kitchen, Xu Zi Li and Wu Huan Yue were busy working.
Meanwhile, Wang Ming Yang was shaking his leg as he sat on the sofa, watching the television.
At that moment, Xu ZI Le’s voice rang out from the kitchen.
“Ming Yang, is Brother Lin here yet?” This time’s gathering was only for the four of them. And the dinner was being prepared by the two ladies. As two big celebrities, if fans were to see this, they would probably in disbelief.
After all, if the fans were to see their idols having to cook personally, they would definitely burst out cursing.
Wang Ming Yang said, “I just called him and he was already at the airport. He should be on the way here now. Oh right, make the dishes more delicious. Don’t make a mess. Otherwise, we’ll get him to cook instead. His skills are not a joke, they’re earth-shattering. If anyone can learn just one of his skills, it would be a big deal.
He really respected his brother’s culinary skills. He had to admit that no one in this world could compare to his brother’s culinary skills.
However, very regretfully, this brother of his didn’t like to cook. If he were to open a restaurant, the whole country would probably go to try his cooking.
Thinking about it, it had been a very long time since he had last tasted his brother’s cooking.
Xu Zi Le smiled. “How could we get Brother Lin to cook? Although his skills are good, we’re personally cooking today to treat the two of you well. The two of you can just sit and wait.”
In the kitchen, Xu Zi Le and Wu Huan Yue were giggling. Their pairs of snow-white hands were not the least bit sluggish. Instead, they were very agile.
“Huan Yue, I didn’t expect that you would be this skillful,” said Xu Zi Le with a smile, “You’re a big celebrity now. If your fans find out, they would be so surprised that their teeth might fall out.”
Wu Huan Yue smiled brightly. “Sister Xu, in the past, I used to cook for myself. That’s why this is nothing much at all.”
Xu Zi Le chuckled, then leaned closer. “So you can perform on stage, in the kitchen, and in bed. Whoever gets you in the future would be so lucky. Not only can you earn money, but you can also do housework. He could just lie at home all day and be treated by you. How comfortable would that be?”
Wu Huan Yue laughed cheerily. “Sister Xu, aren’t you the same?”
“Me?” Xu Zi Le thought about it. “I’m still far off. I’m together with your Brother Wang all thanks to Brother Lin. If your Brother Lin didn’t approve, I think Ming Yang might have dumped me.”
“How can that be?” Wu Huan Yue’s mouth gaped in disbelief. To her, it was simply not possible.
“You always underestimate the friendship between men.” Xu Zi Le patted Wu Huan Yue’s head. “Sometimes, the feelings between men are even better than those between a man and a woman. I’ve seen many of such situations before. That’s why I’m already tired now. I don’t just have to treat Ming Yang well, I also have to perform well in front of Brother Lin. If someday, Brother Lin says that I’m not good, I would be dumped.”
“That won’t happen. Brother Lin isn’t that kind of person,” said Wu Huan Yue. She had never thought of things this way.
Xu Zi Le chuckled but didn’t carry on with that topic. Her pretty eyes landed on Wu Huan Yue. “Let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about you.”
“Huh?” Wu Huan Yue’s pink lips opened slightly. Her hands stopped moving as she turned her head. “Sister Xu, what’s there about me to talk about?”
“Hehe, you’re still pretending in front of your Sister Xu,” Xu Zu Le laughed. She put on a look as if she was very experienced in this regard. Then, she took a look outside before saying softly, “Do you want Sister Xu to help you tonight?”
“Help…help me?” Wu Huan Yue’s face turned pink as if she had thought about something.
Xu Zi Le nodded. “That’s right. Tonight, Sister Xu is throwing caution to the wind. I don’t usually drink wine but Sister Xu likes you. And I heard from Ming Yang that this Brother Lin has caught the eye of quite a number of people. Sometimes, a lady has to be more spontaneous. Just do it in one go and you won’t have to worry about anything else.”
Wu Huan Yue lowered her head so much that her head was almost buried in her chest. She didn’t know what to say anymore. She felt as if Sister Xu was going a little too far.
“Don’t be shy. I think you’re pretty good now. You have fame and you have the looks. And your figure is great. Your only weakness is that you don’t have as much time as other people.”
“In relationships, the most feared thing is time. Time can defeat everything else. Even if there are deep feelings, time can cause two people to become estranged,” said Xu Zi Le.
Wu Huan Yue had been a little shy at first but when she heard Sister Xu say these things, her snow-white ears perked up as if she was listening very attentively.
“Sister Xu, actually, I can give up everything that I have now.”
Her voice was soft but it was a form of declaration.
“Silly girl. Why would you give up everything? You can’t throw away your career. You could give up your career for a man but that man might not even care. That’s why Sister Xu is telling you that a woman has to have her own career. This isn’t a burden but a kind of advantage,” said Xu Zi Le.
Wu Huan Yue was taken aback by Xu Zi Le’s words. She asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
“Men who are serious about work are very charming. Then do you know what women who are serious about work are?” asked Xu Zi Le.
Wu Huan Yue shook her head. She was a little confused. “I don’t know.”
“They are subduing.”
“???” Wu Huan Yue had a look of confusion on her face. She didn’t understand what Sister Xu meant at all.
Xu Zi Le looked outside again before saying, “Let me tell you that this subduing effect is very mysterious. Do you know what your Brother Wang likes?”
“What is it?” Wu Huan Yue felt as if she was going to find out something incredible.
Xu Zi Le leaned close to Wu Huan Yue’s ear and spoke softly. When Wu Huan Yue heard her words, her ears instantly turned red.
“Brother Wang… He…he has such a fetish?” Wu Huan Yue felt as if her view of the world had crumbled.
“This isn’t a fetish. This is the subduing effect, understand? Otherwise, why do you think Sister Xu always brings those costumes back after filming every show? Those are all for him,” said Xu Zi Le, “That’s why you can’t give up this career. As long as you manage your time well, it will not be a problem.”
“But let’s go back to the main topic. Tell your Sister Xue. Have you made your decision yet?” asked Xu Zi Le.
Wu Huan Yue looked at Xu Zi Le and lightly bit her lips. She was a little nervous and a little afraid.
Suddenly!
The soup in the pot started boiling up. The soup was about to spill over.
“Ah, Sister Xu, the soup is going to boil over.” Wu Huan Yue was momentarily stunned.
Xu Zi Le saw it and said, “I said so much to you that I forgot about the pot.”
*Knock knock!*
“Ming Yang, open the door. I’m here.” At that moment, a voice came from outside.
Wang Ming Yang immediately stood up and walked to the door. Then, he shouted, “Those in the kitchen, hurry up. He’s here.”
