Chapter 1876: Rapid Development (10)

Li Ruanyu turned to look.

She saw Zhuang Ya's elegant and beautiful face.

Li Ruanyu's eyes lit up: "I was just wondering why I hadn't seen the legendary great beauty Zhuang Ya. So you were outside. Don't bother with that."

Zhuang Ya laughed: "Hahahaha, what legendary great beauty? You're exaggerating, Sister! These grilled meats I roasted with fire inside and out at the same time, layered into several levels of charred and tender. Hurry and try some… wait a moment, it's a bit hot."

Li Ruanyu laughed: "What a fire mage. Just hearing you say that tells me your control over flames is very strong."

Zhuang Ya shook her head: "Still far from it."

Gu Qing said: "Don't just stand there, Sister Ruanyu, sit inside."

Ruanyu shook her head: "The main seat? How could I?"

Gu Qing laughed: "There are two main seats — one is yours, the other is my lord Zhao Chi's. What's wrong with that?"

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "It's not appropriate. I'll just sit here."

Zhuang Ya said: "Sister Ruanyu, you're a guest, so of course you should take the main seat. Don't be polite."

Li Ruanyu laughed: "I'm not a guest, I'm family. Let's just be casual."

Zhao Chi said: "You're still arguing over seats? Gu Qing, you sit over there; Ruanyu, you sit here. Isn't that settled?"

Zhao Chi gave up his main seat.

Gu Qing naturally refused.

Li Ruanyu also refused.

It seems they're still being a bit reserved…

Zhao Chi said directly: "Gu Qing, be obedient. Ruanyu, be obedient. You two just sit like this. I'll sit next to Zhuang Ya."

The two women glanced at each other, smiled, stopped arguing, and sat down.

Gu Qing asked softly: "My lord, shouldn't we call Su Qin over?"

Zhao Chi was stunned — he had actually forgotten about Su Qin.

This was a last-minute arrangement; he really hadn't told Su Qin in advance.

He contacted her directly.

It turned out Su Qin was in the nearby Illusory Weapon Room.

A minute later, Su Qin came in pushing open the door, laughing as she dressed herself along the way.

Her smile was radiant.

"Haha, there's really good food! Such a huge table — I could smell it from outside. What special day is it today? I'm in for a treat… Ah! Captain Li!?"

Su Qin was already very familiar with Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, and the others.

They usually laughed and joked around together.

Today she came happily to the feast as usual, only to see Li Ruanyu smiling at her.

Zhao Chi and Li Ruanyu had only just confirmed their relationship a few days ago; he really hadn't mentioned it to Su Qin.

Su Qin's little mouth opened wide enough to stuff an egg into.

Li Ruanyu said with a light laugh: "Hello, Su Qin. Surprised to see me?"

"N-no, not really."
