Tang Wanjun carefully tutored Chi Zaozao, so much so that they both skipped meals, while Ye Que didn't return home until seven in the evening.
The whole family was waiting for him to come back to have dinner.
Upon his return, Xue Rong instructed Nanny Aunt Yun, "Zaozao and Wanjun haven't had dinner yet, go upstairs and call them down to join us."
Aunt Yun bowed, "Yes, Madam!"
Ye Que's brow furrowed slightly as he looked toward his mother, "Did you say Wanjun is upstairs?"
"Yes!" Xue Rong replied while dishing up meals, "I went upstairs earlier and saw Wanjun tutoring Zaozao. With college entrance exams coming up, it seems our Zaozao is really pushing herself. But I also believe that with an excellent teacher like Wanjun tutoring Zaozao, she will definitely get into a good university."
"..."
Ye Que remained silent, and sure enough, he soon saw the Second Young Master of Tang Family, Tang Wanjun, coming down the stairs.
Tang Wanjun walked into the dining room with a smile and greeted everyone.
"Uncle, Aunt, big brother!"
Because the Ye and Tang families were generations-long friends, and Ye Que was older than Tang Wanjun, Wanjun respectfully addressed Ye Que as 'big brother.'
"You came to tutor Zaozao, but where is Wanyuan?" Although he called for Wanyuan, why was it Wanjun who came the next day?
Ye Que knew that this guy was a flirtatious playboy, fond of using sweet talk to deceive girls, with countless girlfriends of his own. Allowing such a Casanova to tutor Chi Zaozao, he might just lead her astray.
"Heh heh!"
Tang Wanjun took a seat and laughed, "Big brother, what you don't know is that Wanyuan recently joined a group of university students for a charity program recording and has been very busy, unable to make it, so I took her place."
Tang Wanjun picked up his bowl as if he were in his own home, not forgetting to address the elders, "Uncle, Aunt, I won't stand on ceremony then!"
The Ye Couple were all smiles. To them, the Tang Siblings were like their own children.
But when Zaozao did not come downstairs for dinner, Xue Rong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where is Zaozao?"
Tang Wanjun put down his chopsticks, "You all eat, Zaozao is currently doing her homework. I'll bring it up to her in a while!"
Ye Que sat beside them, silently eating his dinner with an indifferent expression, cool as ice.
After wolfing down a bowl of rice, Tang Wanjun served himself another bowl, picked some nutritious dishes, and stood up, "Uncle, Aunt, brother, please enjoy your meal, I'll take this up to Zaozao!"
The family of three watched Tang Wanjun; none spoke out as the fellow made his way upstairs with the food in hand.
Watching Wanjun disappear, Xue Rong couldn't resist nudging her son beside her, "Ye Er, look at how well Wanjun treats Zaozao!"
Ye Que's face turned ashen, turning a deaf ear to his mother's words.
Ye Zhenhua also chimed in, "This Zaozao, not only is she graceful and lovely, I hear there are quite a few boys chasing after her. Like Wanjun here, he's usually the one being served, but now look at him, willingly serving our Zaozao."
"..."
No one noticed that Ye Que's grip on his chopsticks tightened fiercely.
The Ye Couple exchanged a glance, then tacitly spoke, "Actually, Wanjun is really not bad, and our two families have long been friends. Ye Er, if you're not fond of Zaozao, then your mom and I might just betroth her to Wanjun!"
With a "snap," Ye Que's chopsticks landed harshly on the dining table.
He stood up, his gaze icy as he looked at his mother, "She's just a child, and you are already talking about her getting married. Is that the only thing she's destined to do in her life, graduating, getting married, and having children? How is that any different from all the other mundane women?"
"..."
The elder Ye's were rendered speechless by Ye Que's retort.
