Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Divergent Intentions
Zheng Xiangqiao couldn’t hide the jealousy and hatred in her eyes when she saw Zhang Liangyue being so attentive. She quickly lowered her head, fearing that Mo Yiyi would notice her expression.
Actually, Yiyi had long since noticed Zheng Xiangqiao’s expression. Her eyes were full of mockery, but she revealed nothing on her face, just said a few more words nonchalantly before leaving.
Watching Yiyi’s graceful figure fading into the distance, Zhang Liangyue was entranced.
"What’s wrong? Are you so mesmerized? Can you really seduce her and then heartlessly abandon her like we planned?" Zheng Xiangqiao couldn’t suppress her bitterness and spoke with a harsh tone.
Zhang Liangyue snapped back to reality upon hearing this and firmly said, "Xiang Qiao, don’t you trust me? I will definitely help you teach Mo Yiyi a good lesson, so you really don’t need to worry."
However, Zheng Xiangqiao didn’t believe his words. After all, Zhang Liangyue’s gaze was too direct, and she could tell he was interested in Mo Yiyi. It was hard to believe he could follow through as they had previously planned. But... thinking of her arrangement this time, she felt relieved.
Isn’t Mo Yiyi good at her studies and beautiful? Doesn’t Zhang Liangyue also keep thinking about her? She wanted to see which man would still want to take one look at Mo Yiyi after Saturday. Even if they did look, it wouldn’t be a decent look.
After returning home, Yiyi frowned in thought for a while, deciding to facilitate Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue’s affair on that day. But she also thought of Gu Tingyu. Since the timeline moved up, she didn’t know if Gu Tingyu would arrive earlier too, so she quickly went out again to call Gu Tingyu.
However, Yiyi was doomed to be disappointed, as she couldn’t get in touch with Gu Tingyu at all. They had been corresponding, but she had really forgotten to ask about his recent whereabouts in advance.
Sighing, Yiyi didn’t dwell too much on it. After all, this time Gu Tingyu wouldn’t have the chance to drink that spiked water, so she didn’t need to worry too much.
On Saturday, Yiyi went out early. She first visited an herbal shop, had Mo Ping arrange everything, and finally arrived at the central restaurant on time.
"Yiyi, over here, over here."
Upon seeing Yiyi’s arrival, Zheng Xiangqiao quickly greeted her with a smile, then warmly took her inside.
Zhang Liangyue was inside ordering dishes. When he saw Yiyi come in, his eyes lit up instantly.
Today, Yiyi wore a long sapphire blue dress, which was very elegant. The dress was made by Ding Yuejun in her free time at night and suited Yiyi perfectly, making her appear even more beautiful than usual.
"Yiyi, you’re here. Come, take a seat. I just ordered braised fish and sweet and sour pork ribs. See if there’s anything else you want to eat, and we can order together."
Seeing Zhang Liangyue being so courteous, Zheng Xiangqiao inwardly snorted with derision.
At the same time, she surreptitiously glanced at Mo Yiyi and noticed that the little girl who used to be short, thin, and dark had indeed grown into a stunningly beautiful young woman. Her gaze became colder, but she revealed nothing and instead warmly chatted with the two, finally giving Zhang Liangyue a meaningful look, providing him and Yiyi the chance to be alone, and returned to her seat.
Seeing Zheng Xiangqiao’s tact, Zhang Liangyue became even more elated. He intended to pull Yiyi to continue ordering dishes, but Yiyi ignored him and went directly to sit beside Zheng Xiangqiao without looking back.
Seeing Yiyi’s lack of regard, Zhang Liangyue’s expression darkened slightly. Finally, suppressing his temper, he ordered a few more dishes.
On the side, Zheng Xiangqiao glanced at Yiyi and asked, "Why don’t you order dishes with Brother Zhang?"
"I’m not familiar with him, why should I order dishes with him? Aren’t you two more familiar with each other? You should go and order with him."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiangqiao couldn’t help but say, "Brother Zhang and I are just ordinary friends, not very familiar." Saying this, she poured herself a glass of water and then poured one for Yiyi, saying, "Yiyi, have some water first. It might take a little while before the dishes come."
Looking at the cup in Zheng Xiangqiao’s hand, Yiyi arched an eyebrow, accepted the glass, and took a sip with a smile.
Seeing Yiyi drink the water, a glint of satisfaction flashed in Zheng Xiangqiao’s eyes, though she didn’t notice Yiyi’s meaningful glance earlier. Both carried their own thoughts and sat quietly.
When Zhang Liangyue came over, he saw Yiyi quietly sitting there like a beauty, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. Naturally, he sat down beside Yiyi with a smile, saying, "I ordered a few more specialty dishes, make sure to try them later."
Zheng Xiangqiao quickly nodded with a smile and said, "Since Brother Zhang ordered them, they must be delicious. We’ll definitely eat more then."
"Yes, you should eat more."
Yiyi smiled and said, looking at Zheng Xiangqiao and then at Zhang Liangyue. The thought of what was about to happen between these two lifted her spirits significantly.
Indeed, Zheng Xiangqiao was still Zheng Xiangqiao. The water she offered Yiyi had been spiked, and since that was the case, Yiyi naturally had to return the favor. She hoped both would enjoy her arrangement.
The dishes were served quickly. Yiyi looked at the delectable food in front of her and started eating in a good mood.
Seeing Yiyi eat with a smile, Zheng Xiangqiao couldn’t help but smile, and Zhang Liangyue was also in a good mood. Having a meal and chatting with such a beauty was quite pleasant.
This time, Yiyi didn’t leave as soon as she finished eating. After putting down her chopsticks, she unusually asked, "Where are you planning to go next?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiangqiao quickly said with a smile, "Let’s take a walk nearby later. I heard some new shops have opened recently. We can browse around then."
"Sure."
Yiyi nodded in agreement immediately.
Zheng Xiangqiao’s suggestion matched her plan exactly. Indeed, several new places had opened nearby, including a new inn. She had booked a nice room for Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue there.
And Zheng Xiangqiao’s thoughts were completely aligned with Yiyi’s. She had also thought of that newly opened inn. Seeing Yiyi looking forward to going with them, her smile deepened. She was determined to give Mo Yiyi an unforgettable weekend.
Zhang Liangyue, standing by, was also pleased, thinking the little beauty might have had a change of heart; otherwise, she wouldn’t have suggested a walk together.
The three slowly walked, but Zheng Xiangqiao soon felt that something was wrong. Why did she feel increasingly hot?
Zhang Liangyue felt the same way. He couldn’t help but unbutton the top button of his shirt, feeling a dry and uncomfortable thirst.
Yiyi observed their reactions and couldn’t help but propose with a smile, "Let’s rest up ahead."
