“No, see you later, Young Master Sheng.” Cheng Xinkai shook his head.

“Sheng Jiu, can I take your car? I want to go with you.” Cheng Nuan quickly made a request. She would not let go of any chance to get close to Sheng Jiu.

“It’s inconvenient.” Sheng Jiu refused bluntly.

“Young Master Sheng, we will meet at the cafeteria later.” Cheng Xinkai quickly pulled Cheng Nuan back. No matter how much this girl liked Sheng Jiu, she couldn’t take the initiative to approach him like this. Doing so would disgust her.

Sheng Jiu entered the elevator and left without hesitation.

“Brother, why are you holding me back? I like Sheng Jiu. It’s such a good opportunity to get along…” Cheng Nuan complained.

“Nuannuan, you’ve just met Sheng Jiu. As a girl, you have to be more reserved. If you take the initiative like this, you’ll only scare Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu is timid. It wasn’t easy for me to climb up the Sheng family’s social ladder. Don’t mess it up for me,” Cheng Xinkai warned Cheng Nuan coldly. Cheng Nuan was usually playful, but when it came to Sheng Jiu, Cheng Xinkai would never allow her to mess around.

“Brother, Sheng Jiu, he…” Cheng Nuan did not know much about Sheng Jiu’s background. She simply liked her appearance.

“He’s the young master of the Sheng family, one of the top wealthy families in Beijing.” Cheng Xinkai introduced the situation of the Sheng family. Some people really knew how to reincarnate. They were born into the top wealthy families. Even if they were a fool, everyone wanted to please them.

“Brother, if that’s the case, you have to help me woo Sheng Jiu. If I take down the young master of the Sheng family and become the young lady of the Sheng family in the future, our Cheng family will soar into the sky.” Although Cheng Nuan was making a fuss, she was still somewhat scheming and shrewd. The Cheng family seemed to have evil in their blood, and no one was kind.

“Nuannuan, are you serious? This Young Master Sheng might not be able to get the inheritance.” Cheng Xinkai also hoped that Cheng Nuan could marry into the Sheng family and stabilize the Cheng family’s status. However, Sheng Jiu was not smart and could not get the inheritance of the Sheng family.

“It doesn’t matter if he can get the inheritance. Anyway, Sheng Jiu is favored. What good things can’t he get?” Cheng Nuan was very open-minded.

“You have a point.” Cheng Xinkai nodded.

In the Thousand Relations cafeteria, Sheng Jiu sat by the window and quietly looked at the scenery outside.

“Young Master Sheng, I’m sorry. We were a little late. I handled a document at the last minute.” Cheng Xinkai quickly came over to apologize.

“It’s alright. I’ve already ordered. Mr. Cheng and Miss Cheng don’t mind, right?” Sheng Jiu asked.

Cheng Xinkai: “Of course not.”

“I don’t mind. I’m not a picky eater, and I’m easy to feed. Sheng Jiu, I like what you like to eat.” Cheng Nuan tried to please her.

Sheng Jiu responded indifferently. Cheng Nuan was a very picky woman. In the past, she had caused Qiao Xi a lot of trouble by nitpicking everything. It seemed like she would even quarrel with a straw. Now, she was pretending to be obedient and sensible in front of Sheng Jiu.

“The dishes are here.” Sheng Jiu raised his head and gestured. When Cheng Xinkai turned around and saw the trays of seafood brought by the attendant, his expression was very ugly. He didn’t eat seafood because his stomach couldn’t digest it. Every time he ate it, he would have a stomachache.

“What’s wrong, President Cheng? Don’t you like the dishes I ordered?” Seeing Cheng Xinkai’s troubled and angry expression, Sheng Jiu felt a little happy.

Cheng Xinkai: “No, it’s pretty good.”

Cheng Nuan: “Brother, you can’t…”

“Cheng Nuan, let’s eat. Don’t talk.” Cheng Xinkai interrupted Cheng Nuan and started eating. The table was full of seafood, and Cheng Xinkai tried to eat as slowly as possible. However, halfway through, Cheng Xinkai received a call.

“Young Master Sheng, there’s an urgent matter in the company that I need to deal with. I’m really sorry. I’ll treat you to a meal next time,” Cheng Xinkai said to Sheng Jiu apologetically.

Sheng Jiu said, “Work is more important. See you next time.”

Cheng Xinkai: “Alright, I’ll get going then.”

When Sheng Jiu saw Cheng Xinkai leave in a hurry, he felt very happy. This call was a life-saving call for Cheng Xinkai, but Sheng Jiu did not mind him leaving halfway.

“Sheng Jiu, my brother has something to do, so he has to go, but I’ll continue eating with you.” Cheng Nuan was more than happy to see Cheng Xinkai leave. This way, she could have dinner alone with Sheng Jiu. It was easier to improve their relationship by eating with just each other.

“Miss Cheng, eat slowly. I’m full.” Sheng Jiu put down her chopsticks expressionlessly. She was not in the mood to deal with Cheng Nuan.

There was a little soup on Sheng Jiu’s face. Seeing this, Cheng Nuan immediately took a tissue and tried to wipe it for her. However, Sheng Jiu reacted quickly and avoided Cheng Nuannuan’s hand.
