So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

Her suggestion was reasonable, and Yun Mingyue certainly wouldn't refuse.

However, things may not have turned out the way President Yun imagined.

"Xiao You, can you take a picture for me?" Ning Moxin stood under a plum tree next to the antique lecture hall, gently raising her delicate hand as if playing with plum blossoms.

"Aren't we still talking about serious matters?" Yun Mingyue reminded her.

"Mingyue, don't be so serious~~ We can talk about serious matters while enjoying the scenery, and not waste either time."

No one knew exactly what kind of scheme Ning Moxin was plotting, so she ran over and pulled the aloof CEO to the plum blossom tree. "Come on, Mingyue, strike a pose."

Yun Mingyue remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Ning Moxin blinked and looked at Zhou You, who was taking out his phone to take pictures of them, "Xiao You, do you think my pose is okay?"

She touched a blooming plum blossom with her fingertips, her flawless jade fingers cradling the crimson petals.

"Sister Mo, just stay still like this, it's perfect." Zhou You adjusted the angle.

I was just about to press the shutter button.

Yun Mingyue, who hadn't moved at all, raised her hand.

Click~~

"I just suddenly realized that these plum blossoms are quite beautiful."

After confirming that she had left a perfect image on camera, Yun Mingyue withdrew her hand that was holding the plum blossom and explained expressionlessly.

334. You're not going to force your way into the women's restroom, are you?

Most of the poems about plum blossoms are about purity and nobility. Whether it is Lin Bu's "Sparse shadows slant across the clear, shallow water, a faint fragrance drifts in the twilight" or Wang Anshi's "From afar I know it is not snow, for there is a faint fragrance," one can feel the overwhelming artistic conception.

However, Zhou You remembered more the plum blossoms described in the book by Lin Hong, Lin Bu's nominal seventh-generation descendant.

This is written in Lin Hong's "Shan Jia Qing Gong," an important culinary work from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Plum Blossom Soup Dumplings: First soak white plums, add sandalwood powder and water, mix with flour to make wonton wrappers. For each stack, use a five-cent iron chisel to carve out plum blossom shapes. After cooking, pour into chicken broth. Each guest is served only two hundred or so plum blossoms.

Eating it is like being beneath Lonely Mountain, with flying jade floating on West Lake.

The existence of a dish called Plum Blossom Soup Cake is truly intriguing; does it really have such a mysterious flavor?

Perhaps he could collect some plum blossoms during the flowering season and try making a dish according to a recipe? That's probably the advantage of being able to cook. When others see delicious food, they only think about where to eat it, and most of the time they can't even get to eat it. But he can make it for himself and enjoy it to his heart's content.

Ning Moxin seemed to be thinking about doing both things at the same time. While leading Zhou You and Yun Mingyue to enjoy the scenery and take photos, she also flipped through some documents and talked to them about serious matters, such as which places need to be repaired and which are old buildings, and that they should be careful.

"Xiao You, take another picture for me." Ning Moxin stood alone by the rippling water, holding her long hair, which was flowing in the wind, with one hand.

"Okay." Zhou You replied, picking up his phone, intending to take another picture of Ning Moxin.

Low battery: Only 5% battery remaining.

A low battery warning message popped up on the screen.

"What's wrong, Xiao You?" Ning Moxin asked Zhou You when she noticed him pause in his movements.

"My phone is almost out of battery," Zhou You replied truthfully.

"Ok?"

A glint flashed in Ning Moxin's eyes upon hearing this, and she lowered the hand that was toying with her hair.

“We’ve been playing for so long already, and we’ve seen all the places we wanted to see. Let’s find a place to sit down and talk about the specific plans.”

"If you hadn't kept stopping to let your brother take pictures of you, we would have finished talking a long time ago," Yun Mingyue couldn't help but complain.

"But Mingyue, didn't you also have Xiaoyou take a lot of photos of you?" Ning Moxin asked with a smile.

"I was just being held back by you, I had no choice."

"Yes, yes, yes, I was the one who dragged you along, Mingyue, and you had no choice but to pose for me."

"..."

Yun Mingyue stopped talking. She tugged at Zhou You, turned around, and pulled him outside.

Ning Moxin lagged behind, first smiling gently, then as if she had thought of something, her eyes darkened slightly, and she quickly caught up with the two who were walking further and further away.

"Let's not go back to the principal's office. Let's find a quiet place outside to sit down and talk."

She paused, then asked Zhou You instead of Yun Mingyue, "What do you think, Xiao You?"

"Hmm... sure." Zhou You thought for a moment and then agreed.

Yun Mingyue, who was about to say something, shut her mouth and swallowed back what she was about to say when she saw that Zhou You had agreed, which was taken as tacit consent.

Ning Moxin observed Yun Mingyue's reaction out of the corner of her eye, and after seeing that her reaction was as she had expected.

She continued, "I know a nice place nearby that we can go to."

"I'd rather be respectful than refuse," Zhou replied politely.

Having received his agreement, Ning Moxin maintained her serene smile and walked ahead of him, leading the way for him and Yun Mingyue.

The three of them walked for about ten minutes, leaving the school and arriving at a teahouse that looked quite quiet outside the nearby faculty and staff residential area.

Ning Moxin seemed to know the proprietress, a plump older woman wearing a cheongsam, and naturally struck up a conversation with her as soon as she entered.

"Oh~~ Professor Mo is here~~ and he brought people with him."

"I brought two friends over to sit down and talk about some things. Could you bring us a pot of good tea and some snacks?"

"No problem."

The proprietress flicked the hem of her cheongsam and said with a smile, "You've come at just the right time. I just got some candied plum blossoms. Shall I get you some?"

"Honey-preserved plum blossoms, is it made by brewing spring chill with clear snow water in a vat, and then adding honey to the plum blossoms while they are still covered in dew? Is that Yang Wanli's?" Before Ning Moxin could respond, Zhou You asked curiously from the side.

"Not bad, little brother, you've got some knowledge."

The proprietress's gaze swept over Zhou You, "He's quite handsome..."

"Ahem." Ning Moxin coughed twice as she listened to the increasingly strange things the proprietress was saying.

When Ning Moxin coughed, the proprietress seemed to understand something, and she looked at Zhou You with some surprise.

She wasn't very close to Ning Moxin, but she knew that there were countless people pursuing her.

Among them are wealthy businessmen, high-ranking officials, and highly learned individuals.

Ning Moxin hadn't even given a second glance to any of these people, but now she was quietly taken.

She thought for a moment, then suppressed her surprise and said, "Please have a seat, I'll be right back."

After saying that, she turned and went to the back of the shop.

Ning Moxin led Zhou You and Yun Mingyue to a seat by the window.

After the proprietress brought back tea and snacks, she enthusiastically recommended that Yun Mingyue eat the honey-preserved plum blossoms, and kept offering her tea, which she drank cup after cup.

At the same time, they pretended to be having serious business conversations.

…………

A little while later, not far from the teahouse, under a lush evergreen tree.

Two little girls, their foreheads sweating from running around all day, leaned against a tree trunk and whispered to each other.

"I've finally found my aunt."

Ning Mengmeng peeked out and secretly observed Ning Moxin sitting in the teahouse, chatting and laughing with someone. "I knew Auntie must be around here."

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just before the gathering, she had been determined to show her aunt how capable she was; otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to find anyone...

Not only would she be ashamed to face Chen Youzi, but it would also make her question her own 'ability'.

"Mengmeng, what should we do next?" Chen Youzi carefully observed the three people in the teahouse and turned to ask her 'strategist'.

"Well..."

Ning Mengmeng pondered for a moment before replying, "Youzi, don't rush. As Sun Tzu's Art of War says, 'Attack where the enemy is not expecting you.' Right now, Auntie is in the open, while we are in the shadows. Let's observe the situation and patiently wait for our opportunity."

“Hmm…” Chen Youzi hesitated upon hearing this.

"What's wrong? Yuzu, don't you believe me?" Ning Mengmeng looked a little depressed.

"Nah."

Chen Youzi quickly waved her hand, then scratched her cheek sheepishly, "I just felt that what you said was a bit profound, and I didn't quite understand it."

"...I see."

Ning Mengmeng said, both amused and exasperated, "Then I'll explain it to Youzi in more detail..."

Her voice abruptly stopped.

Because in the teahouse, Ning Moxin and Yun Mingyue suddenly got up and walked to the back, leaving Zhou You alone in the booth.

Could it be? The east wind is coming?

…………

The restroom inside the teahouse.

Fairy is just a beautiful name. No matter how young and beautiful the older sisters are, they are still mortals who eat grains.

Yun Mingyue had been given a bellyful of tea by Ning Moxin, so naturally she needed to take care of her physiological needs.

Ding-a-ling~~ Ding-a-ling~~

Just as she had resolved the problem, someone she didn't expect called her.

"Dai Dai?" Yun Mingyue was slightly surprised.

"It is I, Mother."

On the other end of the phone, Yun Daidai stood outside the chic coffee shop, talking to Yun Mingyue, and glanced back at Ning Qiyu sitting inside the coffee shop.

"I might need your help."

Just now, Ning Qiyu suddenly asked her a few unusually pointed questions, and she was unsure how to answer them, so she came out to call someone for advice.

Although this would damage her image, Douyin was Zhou You's project, and she didn't want to delay it because of her own reasons.
