Meanwhile, Ye Yuning, Xia Andai, and Tang Xi were dining together in the restaurant when Xiao Linye called.
Hearing that Ye Yuning wouldn't be dining with him, he advised her to eat lightly today, as she had gotten a fishbone stuck in her throat the previous night.
The attentiveness in his voice, audible to the others over the phone, made Tang Xi and Xia Andai sigh inwardly.
Ye Yuning responded gently, "I know, I know. I'm not eating anything spicy."
"I'll come to pick you up tonight."
"Okay."
Knowing that Ye Yuning was dining with friends, Xiao Linye didn't press further.
After a few more words, they hung up.
Xia Andai said to Tang Xi with a teasing tone, "You used to think I was just messing with you when I said you had poor taste in men. Look at the treasure Ningning has found!"
"If they aren't attentive and trying to please right from the start, then when would they ever be?" Tang Xi retorted, unconvinced.
