As for Skinny, he looked much more stable than Fatty. However, he was also a straightforward person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten along so well with Fatty and the others. The moment he opened his mouth and saw Chen Ming’s absent-minded look, he couldn’t help but ask.

However, as time passed, especially when Chen Ming’s absent-minded face kept swaying in front of his eyes, he couldn’t help it. “I say, Chen Ming, what’s wrong with you today? You’re so strange. If you have something on your mind and can’t get over it, you might as well tell me. No matter what, I’m older than you and have more experience than you. Maybe I can give you some advice.”

As soon as Skinny finished speaking, Chen Ming’s assistant, who was drinking tea, choked. “Ahem, ahem.” Chen Ming’s assistant coughed, everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

He was instantly embarrassed. “Ah, this tea is really delicious. I drank it in a hurry, so I choked on it.”

“Tea needs to be tasted slowly, especially the tea that my little miss personally brews. It’s not suitable for drinking in large mouthfuls,” Skinny said, but in his heart, he couldn’t help but ridicule him, thinking that because the assistant was white, he didn’t know how to savour tea.

“Thank you for your guidance. I will drink it slowly.” Chen Ming’s assistant had never felt as awkward as today.

Chen Ming’s assistant thought that with his interruption, Skinny’s attention would shift and he would no longer be staring at his young master. However, his plan was destined to fail. Thus, after Skinny finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Ming. “If you have something on your mind, you can tell me.” Skinny was going to be a caring elder brother.

However, Chen Ming would not fulfill Skinny’s wish. How could Chen Ming tell Skinny what he was thinking? “No, Hall Master Skinny, I don’t have anything on my mind. I just remembered something at work.” Chen Ming smiled at Skinny, indicating that he was fine.

Skinny was not ignorant. As soon as he heard Chen Ming’s words, he knew that he was looking for an excuse and was not telling the truth. He would not force it. “Okay,” Skinny replied, picked up the teacup, and sipped.

But Skinny’s reply made Chen Ming feel very embarrassed.

“Uncle Skinny, why are you so free today?” Chen Meng’er didn’t want to make the atmosphere too awkward, so she deliberately helped to change the topic.

“What do you mean? I sneaked out. Otherwise, I would have been pulled to work by Zhuge. Hey, Little Miss, Sir has retired and rested. Why can’t we be like Sir, drinking tea and playing chess every day?” Skinny pulled Chen Meng’er and complained. However, it was obvious that Skinny was complaining to the wrong person.

“Hehe, Uncle Skinny, I can’t let you retire like Grandpa. What would I do if all of you backed down? Such a big mess would fall on me. Uncle Skinny, do you have the heart to watch me get so stressed out that I won’t even have time to rest and sleep all day?” Chen Meng’er pretended to be pitiful.

“I don’t have the heart.” None of them were married and they weren’t planning to get married. Therefore, they all treated Chen Meng’er as their daughter. They would rather suffer and be tired than to see their daughter suffer a little.

Skinny finished the tea in one gulp, then, he put the teacup on the stone table. “Alright, I’ve been dawdling for so long. It’s time for me to go back to work. Otherwise, when Zhuge catches me, I’ll get an earful. Sigh, Zhuge is always like this. He doesn’t show us any mercy.”

Chen Meng’er listened to Skinny’s words and covered her mouth, secretly laughing. Skinny, Fatty, and the others were usually tightly controlled by Zhuge Yu.

After Skinny left, only Chen Meng’er, Chen Ming, and Chen Ming’s assistant were left. Chen Ming’s assistant was also quite perceptive. After seeing Skinny leave, he stuffed a mouthful of cake into his mouth and then stood up, saying to Chen Meng’er and Chen Ming incoherently, “I just remembered that I still have a lot of things to deal with. Young Master, Miss Meng’er, take your time. I’ll be leaving first.”

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Meng’er to speak to Chen Ming, he turned around and jogged away.

Chen Meng’er did not have any other thoughts about leaving only her and Chen Ming. She continued to drink her tea. As for Chen Ming, seeing that he and Chen Meng’er were the only ones left, there were some things that he could not hold back anymore.

“Meng’er?”

“Hmm?” She was holding a spoon and focused on eating the dark chocolate cake that the kitchen had specially made for her.

“About that.” Chen Ming was about to say something, but he hesitated.

Chen Meng’er waited for a long time, but she didn’t hear Chen Ming’s next words. She bit the small spoon in her mouth and looked up at Chen Ming with puzzlement. “Chen Ming, what’s wrong with you today? If you want to say something, just say it. You’re stuttering.”

Chen Ming had originally not made up his mind to say this, but when Chen Meng’er asked him this, he closed his eyes and asked, “Meng’er, I just met Yuwen Jing at the door. I heard him say that you forgave him.”

“Yes, yes.” Speaking of Yuwen Jing, Chen Meng’er’s face was slightly hot.

“He also said that you’re with him. The two of you are now a couple.” After Chen Ming asked, he looked at Chen Meng’er nervously, waiting for Chen Meng’er to answer his question.

“Yes.” As soon as Chen Meng’er said this, Chen Ming felt his heart shatter like glass.
