Chapter 209 Yun Yang: A Princess Born in Rome

Li Yuan conscripted Jin Jiluo into the kitchen.

"Brother Ji, you're in charge of washing and peeling the potatoes."

"Brother Ji, should we add ginger slices when blanching these pork ribs?"

"Brother Ji, did you put too much soy sauce in?"

From the kitchen came the sounds of Li Yuan's frantic efforts, interspersed with Jin Jilu's brief and concise replies.

Xu Mingyue moved closer to Yun Yang, cracking sunflower seeds while gleefully watching the direction of the kitchen.

"Your little vixen, you never lift a finger."

"I think even that idiot can cook better than him."

Yun Yang smiled and nodded.

She thought that Li Yuan's current clumsy yet earnest demeanor was quite something.

So cute it's unfair.

Before long, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen.

It has a rich meaty aroma, mixed with the unique charred aroma of rice and potatoes after being baked at high temperature.

Li Yuan, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, walked out of the kitchen carrying a clay pot.

Kim Ki-ro followed behind, expressionless, carrying a plate of spicy pork ribs.

As soon as the lid of the casserole was lifted, a burst of steam mixed with the aroma of food wafted out.

The rice was steamed until each grain was distinct, topped with a layer of golden potatoes, and the crispy rice crust at the bottom was even more fragrant and tempting.

Li Yuan scooped out a large piece of crispy rice and fed it to Yun Yang.

"Sister, have a taste."

Xu Mingyue took out a few cans of beer from the refrigerator. "Come on, come on, with such a sumptuous dinner, we have to have some drinks."

After the chilled beer was down, the atmosphere became lively.

Xu Mingyue cupped her slightly flushed face, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the three people on the table.

"I don't know why, but I feel especially happy today."

Her words seemed rather nonsensical.

But Yun Yang and Li Yuan both understood.

On Kim Ki-ra's tense face, the corners of his mouth curved into a small smile.

He seemed to find it amazing too.

These people, whom he wasn't very familiar with, inexplicably made him feel very comfortable and relaxed.

As the meal drew to a close, Li Yuan began to act inappropriately.

He was like a clingy big dog, sticking his whole body to Yunyang.

His warm breath sprayed onto her earlobe, carrying a hint of the coolness of beer.

"Sister, are you full?"

His voice was deep and ambiguous, making Yun Yang's ears itch a little.

Yun Yang subconsciously shrank her neck and nodded.

"I'm full."

A wicked smile crept across Li Yuan's lips, and he lowered his voice even further.

"Sister, let's go back to our room."

"puff--"

Xu Mingyue almost spat out the beer she had just drunk.

She stared wide-eyed at Li Yuan, her face filled with disbelief.

"Hey! Do you think I and this big oaf are invisible?"

Yun Yang reached out and pushed Li Yuan, who was clinging to her like an octopus.

"Yeah, they're still here, be serious."

Li Yuan looked at her with a wronged expression, his eyes filled with accusation.

"I'll be starting military training tomorrow."

"We can't come out for twenty days."

As he spoke, he deliberately rubbed against her neck.

behave in a spoiled manner.

Yunyang's heart softened instantly.

Before she could say anything, Kim Ki-ro suddenly stood up.

"Let's go."

He succinctly uttered three words, grabbed his coat, and prepared to leave, his movements swift and decisive, without any hesitation.

Xu Mingyue was completely dumbfounded.

She pointed at Kim Ki-ro, then at herself.

"Why would I leave? I'm not leaving!"

"My home is far from here; it takes an hour to get there by taxi!"

Kim Ki-ro stopped and glanced back at her, his tone indifferent.

"I send you."

Xu Mingyue was even angrier; she felt like she was superfluous today.

"Hey, I've noticed you seem even more eager to get rid of me than they are!"

Did I dig up your ancestral graves?

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Li Yuan slowly took Yun Yang's hand.

"Need not."

"Let's go."

"I bought the downstairs apartment."

The entire living room fell into a deathly silence instantly.

Xu Mingyue and Jin Jiluo were both stunned.

You bought it?

Isn't Yun Yang Li Yuan's sugar daddy?

Jin Jilu watched Yun Yang and Li Yuan disappear hand in hand through the door, then exchanged a glance with Xu Mingyue, who was staring blankly at him.

He paused for two seconds, then turned and walked toward the door.

Before leaving, he turned back and reminded Xu Mingyue in a businesslike tone.

"This student, I suggest you go home as soon as possible."

Xu Mingyue: "..."

Who is his classmate?

...

downstairs.

As soon as the door closed, Li Yuan impatiently pressed Yun Yang against the door panel.

A torrent of passionate kisses rained down upon him, carrying a hint of urgency and an undeniable force.

Yun Yang was so overwhelmed by his kisses that she could only cling to his shoulders and let him do whatever he wanted.

The two kissed their way from the doorway to the bedroom and fell onto the soft bed.

The room was dark, with only moonlight streaming in through the window, casting a hazy silver rim on the intertwined figures.

Just as the two were lost in their kiss, a sudden cell phone ringtone shattered the romantic atmosphere in the room.

It's Yunyang's phone.

She jolted awake, instantly snapping back to reality, and frantically tried to push Li Yuan off her.

Li Yuan grunted in dissatisfaction and buried his face in her neck, refusing to get up.

"Ignore it."

Yunyang glanced at the lit-up phone screen; the caller ID read "Mom."

Her heart skipped a beat.

"No, it's my mom!"

She hurriedly pushed Li Yuan away and quickly tidied her disheveled clothes and hair.

Press the answer button for the video call.

A gentle face quickly appeared on the phone screen.

"Honey, how's work these past two days? Why didn't you call Mommy yesterday?"

Immediately afterwards, Yun's father's face also came closer.

“We didn’t know if you were too busy, so we didn’t dare to bother you. It’s making your mother so worried that she can’t sleep.”

Yun Yang was completely stunned.

She looked at her parents' concerned faces on the screen, but her mind went blank.

I don't know how to respond.

A warm, large hand quietly covered her other hand, which was resting on the bed, and gently held it.

It is Li Yuan.

Yunyang felt the warmth from her palm, and her chaotic thoughts seemed to calm down a bit.

It took me a while to find my voice again.

"Dad, Mom, I'm fine."

"I got off work too late yesterday and was afraid you were asleep, so I didn't call."

Yun's mother immediately said, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I slept very well. It's your dad who's so nervous. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have come to your place today."

Yun Yang could only repeat herself dryly.

"I'm really fine, you don't need to worry about me."

Just then, as if she had noticed something, Cloud Mom suddenly brought her face close to the screen.

"Hey? Honey, why is your face so red?"

Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat, and she became even more nervous, her words even stammering.

"No...no, I just had some beer with Mingyue, so...so my face is a little red."

Upon hearing the word "drinking," Yun's father immediately frowned.

"Drinking? You've been drinking? Is something bothering you at work?"

“I knew something was off about her! Yangyang, it’s normal to feel a little uncomfortable in a new environment.”

"Don't take it to heart. Dad will transfer some money to you via WeChat later. You can order milk tea or something for your new colleagues. Young people like that, right? Just get along well with them and everything will be fine."

Yunyang listened to her father's comforting words and looked at his anxious eyes on the screen.

My nose suddenly felt sore.

Not only his face, but his eyes also turned red instantly.

It turns out that being loved so unconditionally can make you want to cry.

Actually, she forgot she was supposed to go to work today and didn't go at all.
