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

Yun Mingyue raised her little hand and waved playfully, "I'll be there soon~~"

After he disappeared through the door, she put her hand to her chest. Her heart wasn't beating fast, but she felt a special kind of emotion. Perhaps this was what love looked like.

"Oh dear~~ Get up quickly, get up quickly, don't keep my little brother waiting for me too long." It took her quite a while to process this.

Who can resist such a delightful taste?

…………

Yun Mingyue went back to her room to change into some comfortable clothes and touched up her makeup before going downstairs.

She walked into the kitchen with her hands behind her back, smelling the aroma of food filling the air. "You're all done? I wish I had been faster."

"Three dishes are enough for two people." Zhou You had just checked and Yun Daidai was no longer home. He didn't know what she was busy with now.

Yun Mingyue nodded upon hearing this, still looking regretful, "I wanted to cook a fish for you to supplement your protein intake."

"Replenishing protein?"

"Ah."

Zhou You stared at Yun Mingyue, who had a signature mischievous grin on her face, for a while before realizing what she meant. He decisively refused, "I don't think I need it."

"But you used a lot of protein last night."

"..."

Can we please stop talking about proteins?

"Hehe~~" Yun Mingyue chuckled as she watched Zhou You, who was silently finishing up his work.

She gently moved a few steps behind him and hugged him tightly.

"Little brother, I like it." That wonderful feeling welled up in my heart again.

125. I'm very interested in the party tonight.

It's nice to do anything with someone you like.

After dinner, the two just stayed at home and cuddled together. Zhou You would occasionally chat with Chen Tangtang on WeChat in a "legitimate" way, and then kiss Yun Mingyue.

Enjoy the happiness of having two girlfriends, two charming older sisters.

I dawdled until the afternoon.

Meanwhile, at the principal's sister's home, Ning Moxin sat before a long zither carved with phoenixes seeking their mates, her delicate hands plucking the strings.

She lowered her head, her long, ink-black hair styled into a lily-shaped bun, with only a few strands playfully clinging to her fair neck. Her slender fingers lightly plucked the strings, and when she played the cheerful melody, her face beamed with a smile, her eyes sparkling with a captivating charm.

It's hard to explain, yet it possesses a unique charm that naturally lingers in people's hearts.

As the melody rose higher and the strings swirled and danced, reaching its climax, the incongruous ringtone of a cell phone rang out in the study.

Ta-da!

Ning Moxin pressed down on the trembling strings, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, as if displeased that someone was disturbing her at this moment.

She picked up her phone; the caller ID showed Ning Chutang.

"Father."

"If you're free today, go home."

Ning Moxin was silent for a moment, then asked instead of answering directly, "Who else have you invited to your home?"

"It's your mother who cares about your future."

"I do not need……"

"You'll understand our good intentions sooner or later. You're a grown woman now, don't act like a child and throw a tantrum. If you have nothing to do today, go home." Ning Chutang didn't wait for Ning Moxin to argue before forcefully changing the subject.

"..."

Ning Moxin lowered her eyes. "I have something to do today."

"What could possibly happen during your National Day holiday?"

"Of course I have my own things to do."

"Don't do those shady things in the future..." Actually, Ning Chutang didn't necessarily think that Ning Moxin's actions were completely shady; he just thought she should follow the plans of her elders.

Ning Moxin listened quietly to her father's ramblings, a gentle smile on her face. Even while answering the phone, her demeanor remained poised and elegant, without a single flaw. One wonders if she gets tired of always being like this.

"But I've already made an appointment with him, so Father, I'll go back another time when I have more free time."

Beep beep beep~~

Ning Moxin casually placed her phone on the table, glanced at the zither, and lost all interest in playing it.

After a long time, the sun began to slant.

She picked up her phone again. Since she had already made an appointment, she might as well actually do it. She was also very curious about what those three people would do when they got together that night.

"Hello? Is this Xiaoyou?"

"Sister Mo?" Zhou You answered the phone, his hand still idly stroking Yun Mingyue's hair behind her back.

The older sister, feeling so comfortable from being stroked that she was almost in a daze, simply nestled quietly in his arms, occasionally nuzzling him with her head.

“Didn’t I say last time that I was willing to help you make connections?” Ning Moxin said seriously, getting down to business. “Let’s pick a time tonight to meet, and then you can tell me the details of the project so that I will have something to say when I recommend it to others.”

She paused, then added casually, "You don't need to make any special arrangements. I know the three of you will be getting together tonight. I can join you, have a get-together, and talk business while we're at it."

"Sister Mo, would you like to join us for a get-together?"

Zhou You hesitated slightly. There were no specific rules or regulations for the gathering that evening; he and the others were just getting together to have some fun out of habit.

There is theoretically no problem with adding Ningmoxin.

But... his relationship with Yun Mingyue and Chen Tangtang is no longer the same as it was back then.

They are all his girlfriends now.

If the four of them get together, won't Ning Moxin seem like an outsider, or even superfluous?

"Is there a problem here?" Ning Moxin noticed that Zhou You's tone was off and was somewhat puzzled.

"No, I don't think so." Zhou You thought about it carefully, and apart from that strange worry in his heart, there really wasn't anything wrong.

"That's settled then, see you later."

See you later.

Zhou You put down his phone, and once again slid his hand down Yun Mingyue's long hair across her back, making her look unusually comfortable.

Her kitten-like appearance even made Zhou You imagine Yun Mingyue nestled in his arms being stroked by him, and Chen Tangtang happily hugging him and letting him lean against her.

Then, Sister Mo gently pressed her face against his thigh, looking at him affectionately. Cough cough, why did I think of Sister Mo?

Zhou You was startled, and the absurd yet blissful scene in his mind vanished instantly.

…………

The location for the evening gathering was chosen by Chen Tangtang; she selected a place that held great 'memorable' significance for her.

The bar that Yun Mingyue opened was where Chen Tangtang first discovered her special feelings for Zhou You and got drunk for the first time.

This is the perfect place for Zhou You's first encounter with Yun Mingyue after she becomes his girlfriend.

Chen Tangtang chose the location, notified Zhou You, and arrived at the destination ahead of time. Before getting off the bus, she had a 'small' thing to take care of.

She looked at Rose, who was sitting in the driver's seat, and carefully examined this beautiful woman who regularly reported her whereabouts to her mother. Slowly, she made herself expressionless.

She naturally wants to use those who are useful. She understands some of these principles, but she has always preferred to act on her feelings.

Now that she is determined to work harder, she is naturally more organized than before. As long as she can complete her plan, she can put everything else aside.

"Rose, they haven't given us a definite answer yet?"

When Chen Tangtang said "they," she was referring to some officials in Hangzhou. She had recently been seriously "visiting" many of them and exchanging witty remarks.

"The young lady's matter could be a big deal or a small deal. Right now, it's the mayoral election season, and many people are afraid of leaving any evidence against her, so their answers are all ambiguous," Rose replied respectfully.

“I see…” Chen Tangtang frowned. No wonder her mother said this matter was difficult to handle; she probably guessed that 'they' would answer like this?

“Miss,” Rose’s voice drew Chen Tangtang’s attention, “Instead of dragging this out, I’d rather just bring the son-in-law here and let you and him have sex.”

The Chen family is not a family of kind-hearted people.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became very quiet.

Chen Tangtang turned her head, stared at the rose for a moment, and said in a cold voice, "Don't do anything unnecessary."

"I just wanted to..."

She raised her hand and stroked Rose's snow-white neck, interrupting Rose, "If I find out that you've done anything to my man behind my back..."

Chen Tangtang slowly tightened her grip, squeezing with just the right amount of force, and stood up to meet Rose's gaze from above.

"...You know the consequences."

She let go of his hand, opened the car door and got out. Before closing the door, she leaned down and glanced inside the car, her voice soft.

"I don't want this to be the last time I see you, please don't make things too difficult for me."

Chen Tangtang gently closed the car door and walked straight towards the exit.

She took a few steps, then, as if she saw someone, the coldness on her face faded. "My little god, give me a kiss, mua~~"

"Sister Bing." Zhou You hugged Chen Tangtang and kissed her on the cheek.

Chen Tangtang's smile immediately widened.

Hehehe~~

126. It's good to go bad.

Chen Tangtang smiled happily, showing none of the imposing manner she had displayed when warning Rose in the car. Even though she had secretly grown a lot, she was still the same carefree and optimistic person in front of the person she liked.

Zhou You held her in his arms. Seeing her happy made him happy too; happiness really is contagious.

Chen Tangtang and Zhou You were hugging and cuddling at the entrance of the bar when Yun Mingyue quickly came out of the bar. She ignored her naughty younger brother and fixed her gaze on Chen Tangtang.
