Chapter 648: The Mysterious Boyfriend

The bustling amusement center.

Yao Yao Lingling sat on the rest chair in the amusement center, her breathing still a bit rapid from the intense game just now.

Her eyes, however, were fixed on the figure standing in the corner of the milk tea shop without blinking.

He lowered his head, his fingertips sliding across the phone screen casually, his slender figure appearing particularly prominent under the lights.

Whether it was the smooth jawline or the calm aura that radiated inadvertently, he was unrealistically handsome.

Yao Yao Lingling watched until her eyes almost popped out with little hearts.

Mom, the senior is too stylish!

Even just standing there playing with his phone, it was like a star on a poster shoot.

Not only her, many big girls, little wives, and even little girls in school uniforms around were also watching.

Yao Yao Lingling couldn't help but steal a low laugh proudly.

Hmph hmph, that's right, he's my boyfriend!

These two hours this morning, the senior perfectly interpreted the role of "boyfriend."

The gentleness of protecting her during the game, the pampering when holding hands, the hug when excited—the "experiencing love" that was originally just an excuse had now truly made her feel the sour and sweet of love.

It was simply—too wonderful!

It's a pity I can't post it on WeChat Moments, otherwise, it would definitely blow up my Moments today.

However, what should be played has been played, and what follows is the lunch of love, watching a movie, and the hot spring she is most looking forward to.

Just as she was immersed in her fantasy.

Two figures suddenly blocked her view.

Yao Yao Lingling was about to move her body when two voices full of surprise came to her ears:

"Yao Lingling? It really is you!"

"Sister, didn't Auntie say that you were working overtime at the company and wouldn't be back this week?"

Yao Yao Lingling froze, raised her head suddenly, and her eyes twitched.

Standing in front of her were actually the two cousins from her aunt's side,

Deng Jia and Deng Deng Yuxuan.

Holy crap!

"Sister Yang Jiajia, Sister Xuanxuan." Yao Yao Lingling stood up hurriedly, feeling guilty and awkward: "You guys are here too, what a coincidence."

Her home and some relatives' homes were in the suburban county southwest of Yancheng, only two or three kilometers away from this resort.

Today it snowed, it was perfectly normal to come to the resort to play.

But the problem was—she had hidden it from her family and ran out secretly to go on a date with the senior!

"What a coincidence!" The lively Deng Deng Yuxuan immediately rushed over, hugging her arm, full of excitement, "I was a bit regretful when I heard you weren't coming back, this is great. I heard from Auntie that the clothes you designed were worn by Su Yu and even made it to the trending searches! Too amazing!"

"Hehe, it's alright." Yao Yao Lingling smiled.

Because she was cheerful and generous, she had a good relationship with the children of her relatives, especially this Deng Deng Yuxuan who was still in high school, who had been especially clingy to her since she was a child.

Deng Jia followed up: "Yao Lingling, help me get a windbreaker later, they are all sold out now."

"Okay, no problem, just send me the size later, I'll match an outfit for you and Sister Xuanxuan."

Yao Yao Lingling promised everything hurriedly, just wanting the two cousins to leave quickly.

Just at this moment.

"Ding-a-ling—" The phone rang.

Deng Jia took out her phone from her pocket, answered the call, and laughed: "Hello, Mom, Sister Xuanxuan and I have arrived at the resort, we'll stay in the amusement center for a while. By the way, we also ran into Yao Lingling, we're chatting."

Yao Yao Lingling's heart skipped a beat, having a bad premonition.

"Ah? I don't know, Yao Lingling said she wasn't coming? —That might be a temporary change, let me ask."

Hang up the phone.

Deng Jia looked strange: "Yao Lingling, aren't you here to attend the family gathering at Uncle's place?"

"I—" Yao Yao Lingling's face turned awkward, and she waved her hands hurriedly, "No, I—I came to the resort with friends, the money is already spent, I won't go today."

Are you kidding?! She was here to talk about love!

If she ran over to attend some family banquet, wouldn't everything be ruined?

Deng Deng Yuxuan immediately took over: "It doesn't delay anything, Sister Yao Lingling, the restaurant Uncle booked is on the second floor of the resort's main building."

It was past eleven, and they were going to have a family gathering at the main building restaurant at noon.

They arrived here early just to play with the claw machines and then go straight to eat.

Deng Jia smiled and said: "This is really a coincidence, let's go together, anyway it won't delay you from playing, we can continue to happy after eating."

"This—" Yao Yao Lingling was completely dumbfounded.

(1I

A°

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?!

Thinking about it again, she felt it was very reasonable.

【Yunxigu】 as the highest-end five-star resort in the area, its Chinese restaurant and banquet hall naturally accepted various high-end banquets.

Uncle Yao Yao Guanying was a person who loved face and showing off, so in order to welcome his "son-in-law," he would naturally choose the best and most presentable place around.

But the problem was that now the aunt's side knew she was at the resort, and other relatives must know too.

It wouldn't be appropriate if she didn't go when the time came.

But she was reluctant to give up the two-person world with the senior.

What should she do?

She couldn't bring him along, right?

Thinking of this, her gaze couldn't help but fall on the senior who was still queuing in the milk tea shop again.

If they were a real couple, she would definitely want the whole world to know, show off their love on WeChat Moments, and bring him home to bring honor to her ancestors.

But they weren't, and she couldn't explain the relationship between them to her relatives.

Noticing her gaze, Deng Jia and Deng Deng Yuxuan also followed her gaze.

Deng Jia immediately teased: "Yo, so our Yao Lingling is addicted to watching the male god?"

Deng Deng Yuxuan lowered her voice and said to Yao Yao Lingling with a face full of infatuation: "Sister Yao Lingling, I also think that little brother is really handsome! Several times more handsome than the star idols I chase! When I came over just now, I even secretly took photos of him. My sister also secretly took photos, hehe."

Deng Jia's cheeks turned red, and she pushed her sister, "I just think his outfit is good, thinking of buying one for my boyfriend."

"Okay okay okay, I know, don't worry, I won't tell Brother-in-law."

Listening to their conversation, even Yao Yao Lingling, who was flustered in her heart, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth wildly.

Hmph hmph! He is my boyfriend today!

Not to mention anything else, the senior's impeccable appearance and temperament were really face-saving.

After some pleasantries, the four of them started playing in the amusement center.

Not long after.

"Ding-a-ling—" Yao Yao Lingling's phone rang.

【Mom】

Her heart skipped a beat.

She said something to Tang Song and the others, and walked to the corner to answer the phone.

"Hello, Mom."

From the other end of the phone, her mother Zhang Xiufang's voice carried a probe: "Yao Lingling, are you at the Yunxigu Resort?"

Yao Yao Lingling's face stiffened.

Finished! It still came!

She smiled hard: "Right, I came out to play with friends, I didn't expect you guys to be here too."

"I knew it!" Zhang Xiufang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then just come over and have a meal together, your uncle and the others all know you're here, it wouldn't be appropriate if you don't go, everyone is waiting."

"But I came with friends, it wouldn't be good to leave them behind."

"You just come over for a meal, and after that, you can continue to play." Zhang Xiufang lowered her voice, somewhat excitedly: "Also let Mom show off a bit."

Yao Yao Lingling's mouth twitched, "Alright, I'll go over in a while."

Hanging up the phone, she only felt her head buzzing.

She sighed, and walked back again.

Looking at Tang Song, she was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Is there something?" Tang Song asked with concern.

Yao Yao Lingling hesitated for a moment, but still explained in a low voice: "I just found out, my uncle's family is also treating guests to a meal at the resort's restaurant today, to welcome my cousin's boyfriend, and all the relatives are there. I'm here, it wouldn't be appropriate if I don't go."

"What a coincidence." Tang Song raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either..." Yao Yao Lingling shrugged.

"Brother Tang Song, why don't you come along?" Deng Deng Yuxuan suddenly interrupted, her eyes bright: "I heard that the signature roast pigeon in that restaurant is especially delicious."

For the show-off personality of her uncle and aunt, she also felt a little bit of dislike.

This time it was obviously to show off the so-called "son-in-law" of her cousin.

But she felt that this boyfriend of Sister Yao Lingling was more excellent!

Appearance, cultivation, temperament, all were full of impeccable charm.

If they went together, he would definitely be the most handsome guy in the audience.

Yao Yao Lingling was startled on the spot, waving her hands hurriedly: "No no no! What are you talking about, Sister Xuanxuan."

She blushed and turned to Tang Song, whispering: "Senior—I'll just go eat a meal, I'll be back soon. It's just that I can't accompany you for lunch."

She and Tang Song were only "one-day boyfriend and girlfriend" after all.

How could she attend this kind of formal relative gathering?

Even if they were real lovers, rushing to the door without being invited in advance would seem very abrupt.

It didn't conform to etiquette, and it would also make Tang Song embarrassed.

Tang Song looked at her, a flash of smile in his eyes, and kissed her on the cheek, "It doesn't matter, go ahead, have fun."

Immediately, he leaned into the little junior schoolmate's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "As long as we can soak in the hot spring together tonight."

His voice was clear and magnetic, and his eyes full of flowing light were full of gentleness.

Yao Yao Lingling's eyelids jumped wildly.

She sighed in her heart again: The senior is not only a sea king, but also a native succubus.

Deng Jia beside her was calm on the surface, but already sour to the extreme.

They were all cousins who grew up together, familiar to the point of no return.

Suddenly discovering that this carefree cousin had brought out a top-tier male god to "show off," it was really a bit unreal.

Envy, jealousy, all intertwined in her heart.

Deng Deng Yuxuan sighed with some regret.

On the way, the three chatted noisily.

Most of it was Deng Deng Yuxuan asking questions.

Yao Yao Lingling dealt with it pretending to be calm, her heartbeat never slowing down.

Her whole mind was on the hot spring with the senior later.

The Yunxigu restaurant was located in the main building of the resort, about a ten-minute walk from the amusement center.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the three entered the most luxurious "888" suite.

The private room not only had an independent lounge, restroom, but also a viewing balcony that could overlook the scenery of the entire resort.

It was obvious that Uncle had really spent a lot of money this time.

The relatives had already arrived quite a few.

Father Yao Guanjie, Mother Zhang Xiufang, Uncle Yao Yao Guanying, Aunt Chen Yan, Aunt Yao Xuemei, Aunt Yao Xueli...

However, the protagonists Yao Yao Rourou and her boyfriend were not there.

"Yao Lingling is here!" Aunt Yao Xuemei was the first to stand up, holding her hand affectionately, "Oh my, you're getting more and more beautiful! I heard the clothes you designed are popular all over the internet, you're a big designer now!"

Zhang Xiufang immediately smiled from ear to ear, humble in her words, but full of pride in her eyebrows.

Yao Yao Lingling greeted them one by one with a smile and sat down beside her mom.

She asked casually: "Sister Yao Rourou hasn't come yet?"

Uncle Yao Yao Guanying said slowly: "Yao Rourou and Gong Yunxiao live in the city, it's troublesome to come over, plus there's a traffic jam on the weekend, so they are a little late, they should be here soon."

While everyone was chatting.

Mom Zhang Xiufang took out her phone and flipped through the news trending searches.

Talking about the topics of "Su Yu," "He Yi," and "windbreaker," Yao Yao Lingling found it a bit funny in her heart, but still cooperated with her mom's "showing off."

For a time, she was forced to become the focus of the whole audience.

The expressions of Yao Yao Guanying and Chen Yan became a bit subtle, after all, they were the protagonists today.

Just at this moment.

The private room door was pushed open again.

Yao Yao Lingling looked up and saw her cousin Yao Yao Rourou walk in, followed by a stranger who also looked familiar.

It was exactly Gong Gong Yunxiao, whom she had only seen in photos on WeChat Moments.

His features were correct, wearing a cashmere sweater, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

Although not stunning, he looked spirited and capable, and his temperament was steady.

"Yao Rourou is here!"

"This must be Gong Yunxiao, really a talent!"

"Gong Yunxiao, Yao Rourou! You've worked hard on the road, come sit here!"

For a time, the relatives at the table stood up to welcome them one after another, enthusiastically letting this pair of "golden boys and jade girls" into the main table.

Uncle Yao Yao Guanying was full of red light, introducing Gong Gong Yunxiao's identity.

The scene became even more lively.

Yao Yao Lingling smacked her lips, but she could understand.

Gong Gong Yunxiao graduated with a master's degree from a famous university and entered a key department like the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.

Even if the two were real lovers, showing up uninvited without prior notice would seem very abrupt.

Before in the family group, Uncle had mentioned it several times with deep meaning.

Gong Gong Yunxiao was highly valued by leaders, had good development prospects, and would definitely be promoted to a researcher before the age of thirty-five.

But for these ordinary wage earners, small businessmen, and even laid-off workers among the relatives present, Gong Gong Yunxiao's "third-level chief staff member" identity was enough to make them look up and envy.

This represented stability, decency, and an immeasurable future development space.

The relatives all thought about being able to take advantage of it in the future.

Even her mom, who had always been at odds with her aunt, stood up at this moment and took the initiative to greet them.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another.

Exquisite cold dishes, steaming soups, whole braised sea cucumber and abalone, everything was available.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, Gong Gong Yunxiao and Yao Yao Rourou became the real protagonists, surrounded by everyone, and the whole banquet was lively.

Under the hint of the elders, the juniors stood up one after another, holding their glasses, taking turns to toast this "future hope" Gong Gong Yunxiao, introducing themselves.

By the way, brushing their presence.

Soon, it was Yao Yao Lingling's turn.

She raised her glass generously, with a bright smile: "Brother Gong Yunxiao, I am Yao Yao Lingling, doing clothing design in Yancheng. Please take care of me in the future!"

Her hearty tone and generous posture made Gong Gong Yunxiao take an extra look, nodding in greeting with a smile.

Yao Yao Lingling just sat down.

Cousin Yao Yao Rourou brought a bit of curiosity: "Yao Lingling, I heard the clothes you designed are popular recently? Everyone is forwarding them online? I've been busy with work recently and really haven't paid attention."

Yao Yao Lingling smiled, her tone relaxed: "Oh, just good luck, a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse."

Mom Zhang Xiufang couldn't hold back anymore and immediately took over: "Yao Lingling changed to a new company some time ago and designed a windbreaker, which sold like crazy on Double Eleven. It became a hit online directly. Later, it was even worn by the big star Su Yu for street snaps, and it's still hanging on the trending searches!"

"So amazing?" Yao Yao Rourou was a bit surprised.

She remembered that her cousin Yao Lingling only worked in a small company and had only graduated for a little over a year, not expecting her to be able to achieve such results.

Gong Gong Yunxiao also followed up with a compliment at the right time.

Aunt Yao Xuemei couldn't help but ask: "Then how much can you earn a month now? Tell Aunt, let us open our eyes too."

In an instant, everyone's gaze focused on Yao Yao Lingling, full of curiosity and exploration.

Noticing her mom's incomparably eager eyes.

Yao Yao Lingling rubbed her chin and said with a giggle: "The base salary is 10,000, but there are commissions and performance bonuses. If you count everything, the annual salary should be 300,000 or 400,000."

Actually, she said it on the low side.

If this popularity could be maintained, her commission would be terrifying, and she could even get the company's option incentives.

But even so, it still scared all the relatives present.

In a place like Yancheng, an annual salary of 300,000 or 400,000 was the income level of some large enterprise executives.

Noticing the shocked eyes of the relatives, Zhang Xiufang instantly felt refreshed.

She and her husband Yao Guanjie had lost a lot of money because of their failed clothing business in the past.

For so many years, they had been laughed at by these people openly and secretly.

Now, they were considered the worst off in the family.

Today, her daughter finally won this breath for her.

The face she had lost for so many years was finally found back properly.

Aunt Chen Yan's face couldn't hold it anymore, she smacked her lips and pulled out a somewhat stiff smile.

She said in the tone of someone who had been there: "Hmm, not bad. But, I heard from people that this kind of company doing live streaming is lively to look at, but actually not stable, and has no guarantee."

"Hey, you are really an outsider." Mom Zhang Xiufang immediately retorted, her voice raised an octave, "Yao Lingling's company is in the best office building in Yancheng, Yunxi Building, with full social insurance and housing fund, plus meal subsidies and housing subsidies, basically no need to pay for rent yourself."

Seeing the two sisters-in-law about to "fight," Aunt Yao Xuemei hurriedly smiled to smooth things over: "Oh my, I have to say, our Yao family is really lucky this year! Yao Lingling is doing clothing design and got a high salary at a young age; Yao Rourou entered a provincial-level unit, and the work is decent and stable. One knows how to 'make money,' one has 'status'."

"Indeed, both are good." Aunt Yao Xueli, who hadn't said much, followed up at this moment, her gaze falling on Gong Gong Yunxiao, who always had a faint smile, "However, in the end, Gong Yunxiao has the most future. At a young age, he is in such an important department in the province, in the future, our Yao Lingling and Yao Rourou will definitely have to rely on Gong Yunxiao for more guidance."

These words made Uncle Yao Yao Guanying's family smile, their faces full of satisfaction.

Gong Gong Yunxiao's hand holding the glass trembled slightly, and his tone carried a trace of caution that was hard to detect: "Aunt, you are too flattering. I am just an ordinary staff member."

Yao Xueli didn't hear the subtext and immediately continued to flatter: "Oh my, Gong Yunxiao, you are too humble! In this society, what is most important? It's connections and platforms! Yao Rourou, she is in the unit—"

Her words continued, full of enthusiasm.

"Cough."

Gong Gong Yunxiao suddenly coughed lightly, interrupting her.

His eyes became more serious, "Aunt, please don't say that. Our unit has strict discipline, and the most taboo thing is to engage in these 'human feelings.' If our leaders hear this, they will criticize us."

As soon as these words came out, the lively atmosphere in the private room froze instantly.

The smile on Yao Xueli's face also stiffened.

Yao Yao Rourou reacted immediately and smiled to smooth things over, putting a piece of pork rib into her aunt's bowl, "Oh my, Aunt, look at you, you are just too honest, saying everything. Gong Yunxiao, he is just joking with you! Come come come, eat."

Yao Xueli then came back to her senses and hurriedly picked up her glass, punishing herself with a drink.

There was an awkward smile on her face, "Look at my mouth, I just don't know how to talk. Gong Yunxiao, Yao Rourou, don't take it to heart!"

Looking at this scene, Yao Yao Lingling's smile became a bit unnatural.

She knew that her aunt's hard flattery also had her own difficulties.

Yao Xueli had been working in a state-owned enterprise, but because she had no background or connections, and her personal ability was not outstanding, she had always been a marginal figure.

Two years ago, she was "optimized" to a new company established by the state-owned enterprise and a private enterprise, and now she was just an ordinary department supervisor.

No power in her hands, no money in her pocket.

She was only 38 years old this year, and naturally, she was unwilling in her heart.

She wanted to take advantage of this relative relationship to get familiar with Gong Gong Yunxiao, this "potential stock."

If she could get on this line in the future, maybe she could get rid of her current predicament and welcome the second spring of her life.

Gong Gong Yunxiao drank a glass of wine, his smile still humble and decent, "Aunt, please don't say that. You are an elder, caring about us and having expectations for us, this is all for our own good."

Despite this, the atmosphere in the private room inevitably became subtle.

After all, everyone was not a fool.

Just now, Gong Gong Yunxiao's words, although said without any flaws, had already clearly drawn an invisible boundary between the relatives.

The subsequent conversation, although still lively, always seemed to be separated by a layer, lacking the ease and enthusiasm from before.

Gong Gong Yunxiao didn't become silent because of the small episode just now.

On the contrary, he still participated in everyone's chat with a smile, witty and polite.

It was just that his attitude had undergone a subtle change.

And the most uncomfortable one was Aunt Yao Xueli.

She tried several times to steer the topic back to a more "private" and "human" direction, wanting to get closer to Gong Gong Yunxiao again.

But every time she would be blocked back lightly by the other party in an extremely natural way.

She held the glass, the smile on her face appearing exceptionally awkward.

She couldn't find a suitable timing to toast several times, and could only stop in mid-air for a moment before putting it down.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually entered the end.

"Ding-a-ling—" The phone rang abruptly.

Yao Yao Lingling picked up her phone, walked quickly to the innermost corner of the private room, turned her back to the crowd, and said a few words.

Immediately, a shy smile that couldn't be suppressed appeared on her face.

Hanging up the phone, she returned to the table.

With a bit of embarrassment on her face: "Uncle, Aunt, Dad, Mom, I'm full. I came to the resort this time to play with a friend, and they are waiting for me downstairs now, so I have to go first."

"Yo, what kind of friend, so important? Is it a boy or a girl?" Aunt immediately teased with a smile, her eyes flashing with gossip.

Deng Deng Yuxuan finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Completely ignoring Yao Yao Lingling's repeated instructions of "don't tell anyone,"

She said loudly directly: "Of course it's a boy! And a super handsome guy, he's Sister Yao Lingling's boyfriend! He has a special temperament, like a big star!"

Although she was young, she could also read the room.

She also had a little bit of dislike for the show-off personality of her uncle and aunt.

This time it was obviously to show off the so-called "son-in-law" of her cousin.

But she felt that this boyfriend of Sister Yao Lingling was more excellent!

Appearance, cultivation, temperament, all were full of impeccable charm.

If they went together, he would definitely be the most handsome guy in the audience.

Yao Yao Lingling was scared on the spot, waving her hands hurriedly: "No no no! What are you talking about, Sister Xuanxuan."

She turned to Tang Song with a blushing face, whispering: "Senior—I'll just go eat a meal, I'll be back soon. It's just that I can't accompany you for lunch."

She and Tang Song were only "one-day boyfriend and girlfriend" after all.

How could she attend this kind of formal relative gathering?

Even if they were real lovers, rushing to the door without being invited in advance would seem very abrupt.

It didn't conform to etiquette, and it would also make Tang Song embarrassed.

Tang Song looked at her, a flash of smile in his eyes, and kissed her on the cheek, "It doesn't matter, go ahead, have fun."

Immediately, he leaned into the little junior schoolmate's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "As long as we can soak in the hot spring together tonight."

His voice was clear and magnetic, and his eyes full of flowing light were full of gentleness.

Yao Yao Lingling's eyelids

Yao Yao Xuexiang finally came back to her senses and hurriedly picked up her glass, punishing herself with a sip.

With an awkward smile on her face, "Look at my mouth, I just don't know how to speak. Gong Yunxiao, Yao Rourou, don't take it to heart!"

Watching this scene, the smile on Yao Yao Lingling's face became somewhat unnatural.

She knew that her aunt's hard work in flattering them also stemmed from her own difficulties.

Yao Xueli had been working at a state-owned enterprise, but because she lacked background and connections, and her personal ability wasn't outstanding, she had always been a marginal figure.

Two years ago, she was "optimized" to a new company established by a joint venture between a state-owned enterprise and a private enterprise, and now she is just an ordinary department supervisor.

She had no power in her hands and no money in her pockets.

She is only 38 years old this year, so naturally, she is not reconciled.

She wanted to use this relative relationship to get familiar with Gong Gong Yunxiao, this "potential stock."

If she could get on this line in the future, maybe she could get rid of her current predicament and usher in the second spring of her life.

Gong Gong Yunxiao followed by drinking a glass, his smile still humble and appropriate, "Aunt, please don't say that. You are an elder, and caring about us and having expectations for us is all for our own good."

Despite this, the atmosphere in the private room inevitably became somewhat subtle.

After all, everyone was not a fool.

"No—no! It's just—it's a bit messy at home."

The subsequent conversation, although still lively, always felt like there was a layer of something between them, lacking the previous ease and enthusiasm.

Gong Gong Yunxiao did not become silent because of the small interlude just now.

On the contrary, he still smiled and participated in everyone's chat, witty and polite.

It was just that his attitude had undergone a subtle change.

And the most uncomfortable one among them was Aunt Yao Yao Xuexiang.

She tried several times to steer the topic back to a more "private" and "human" direction, wanting to pull closer to Gong Gong Yunxiao again.

But every time, she would be blocked lightly by the other party in an extremely natural way.

She held her glass, the smile on her face looking particularly awkward.

She couldn't find a suitable time to toast several times, so she could only stop in mid-air for a moment and put it down.

After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes.

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually came to an end amidst the clinking of glasses.

"Ding-a-ling—" The phone rang abruptly.

Yao Yao Lingling picked up her phone, walked quickly to the corner of the private room, turned her back to the crowd, and said a few words.

Immediately, a shy smile that she couldn't suppress bloomed on her face.

Hanging up the phone, she returned to the dining table.

With a bit of embarrassment: "Uncle, Aunt, Dad, Mom, I'm full. I made an appointment with a friend to play together this time when I came to the resort, and they are waiting for me downstairs now, so I have to go first."

"Oh, what kind of friend is so important? Is it a boy or a girl?" Her aunt immediately smiled and teased, a gossipy light flashing in her eyes.

Deng Deng Yuxuan, who was sitting to the side, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Completely ignoring Yao Yao Lingling's repeated instructions of "don't tell anyone,"

She said loudly: "Of course it's a boy! And a super handsome one, he's Yao Lingling's boyfriend! He has a very special temperament,

just like a big star!"

Although she was young, she could read the room.

This cousin-in-law Gong Gong Yunxiao sounded like a big deal, but his cold attitude toward her aunt made her feel very uncomfortable.

In comparison, she still preferred that handsome and gentle "Brother Tang Song."

Yao Yao Lingling's face turned bright red, and she glared at her cousin who had no filter, both shy and annoyed.

The other relatives showed different expressions, and their gazes focused on Yao Yao Lingling.

"What?!" Her mom Zhang Xiufang was the first to react, almost jumping up from her chair, grabbing her daughter's arm, "What's going on? Yao Lingling! Why have I never heard you mention it?! When did you get a boyfriend?!"

"It's—it's just that we just got together, we're trying it out, it's not certain yet..." Yao Yao Lingling stammered, picking up her backpack, "Oh, anyway, don't worry about it, I've already graduated, I know what I'm doing."

She didn't dare to look at the different expressions of the crowd and ran out of the private room.

As soon as she left, Gong Gong Yunxiao, who had been sitting quietly, also suddenly stood up.

He pulled Yao Yao Rourou and said to everyone in a gentle tone: "I'm really sorry, I have an important online meeting to attend later, I'm afraid I have to go back first."

"Huh? In such a hurry?" Her aunt Chen Yan's face was full of reluctant smiles, "Gong Yunxiao, sit for a while longer, have a cup of tea before you go."

"Yes, Gong Yunxiao, no matter how busy work is, you should take care of your health." Her uncle Yao Yao Guanying also hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

Gong Gong Yunxiao nodded slightly, his attitude humble but unquestionable, "The meeting is indeed quite important; it's about the pre-review of the key project in the province next month, and the time is quite tight. I will definitely arrange the time in advance next time and come to visit again."

Since he had brought out the "key provincial project," who would dare to keep him?

"Then we'll see you off." Yao Yao Guanying and Chen Yan hurriedly stood up.

Zhang Xiufang also followed and said: "I'll go down too."

She was still worried about her daughter's inexplicable boyfriend and couldn't stop worrying in her heart.

She wanted to go down and see what kind of person he was.

As a result, everyone in the private room followed downstairs.

The group of people marched to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Still chatting politely.

Zhang Xiufang's eyes scanned the crowd rapidly.

She soon saw her daughter's figure, as well as the boy standing beside her who was excessively handsome.

He was wearing a simple black turtleneck sweater, paired with a camel-gray double-breasted coat with excellent texture.

His features were handsome, his nose bridge was high, and his shoulders were broad and waist narrow.

Under the bright crystal lights of the hotel lobby, he exuded an elegance and nobility that could not be ignored.

At this moment, he was affectionately holding Yao Lingling's hand, smiling, and lowering his head, not knowing what he was saying to her.

That scene looked exactly like the most romantic picture in an idol drama.

"My god, this..." Zhang Xiufang muttered to herself subconsciously.

Before she could recover.

Aunt Yao Yao Xuexiang beside her let out a low cry, full of disbelief, as if she had seen something dirty.

"What's wrong? Xiangxiang?"

Yao Yao Xuexiang couldn't care about answering and rushed over directly.

Stopping in front of the two, her voice trembling with extreme excitement: "Tang—Tang Dong! Hello—Hello!"

Sensing Tang Song's slightly puzzled gaze.

Yao Yao Xuexiang tried her best to suppress her excitement, her face flushed red as she said: "Tang Dong, I am Yao Yao Xuexiang, the supervisor of the Logistics Support Department of the Yannan Short Drama Film and Television Base."

Tang Song raised his eyebrows, "Hello."

Yao Yao Lingling, who was to the side, looked at her aunt and didn't quite react.

Her aunt did work at this film and television base, and she had specifically mentioned it when she and Tang Song were "touching fake breasts" at the base before. (Chapter 449)

It's just that hearing what her aunt meant... Tang Song seemed to have a connection with this base?

Tang Song reacted quickly, surprised: "And you and Yao Lingling are?"

With his sharpness and intelligence, he naturally sensed the abnormal atmosphere around him instantly.

Yao Yao Xuexiang's heart trembled, "Yao Lingling—is my own niece!"

Following Yao Yao Xuexiang's strange reaction, other relatives also looked over, their gazes falling on Tang Song.

There was no other way; he was simply too outstanding, like a crane in a flock of chickens.

Gong Gong Yunxiao in the crowd saw his appearance clearly, and his face changed instantly.

He looked at Yao Yao Lingling beside him again.

His brain made a loud "boom."

How—how could he be Yao Lingling's boyfriend?!

How is this possible?

Gong Gong Yunxiao could no longer care about pleasantries and reserve, and in the eyes of everyone's surprise, he walked quickly to Tang Song.

Bowing, his voice full of just the right amount of excitement and respect: "Mr. Tang, hello, I am Gong Gong Yunxiao from the Industrial Coordination Division of the Yan Provincial Development and Reform Commission. A few days ago at the Xiyuan Hotel, when Director Li and you met, I had the honor to participate in the reception work of the conference group. I wonder if you still have an impression?"

He said these words almost in one breath.

Because he was too excited, a layer of fine sweat even seeped out on his forehead.

"Hello, Mr. Gong, of course I have an impression." Tang Song nodded slightly, his voice gentle and distant.

Gong Gong Yunxiao took a long breath, his voice a degree lower than just now, "It is my honor to be remembered by Mr. Tang."

His almost humble attitude formed an extremely strong contrast with his image at the table just now, and also brought them great shock.

Looking at this magical scene, including Yao Yao Guanying, Chen Yan, and Yao Yao Rourou, everyone's expressions froze.

Zhang Xiufang's chest heaved violently, her hands subconsciously covering her heart, fearing that her heart would beat too fast.

Her gaze switched back and forth between Tang Song, her daughter, and Gong Gong Yunxiao.

She only felt that this scene was too magical.

Yao Yao Lingling turned to look at her "boyfriend," her head buzzing.

The senior, who was just gentle and considerate and would accompany her to catch dolls and buy lemon tea, seemed to have put on a strange and noble halo at this moment.

She had never seen this kind of aura on him before.

Mysterious and unpredictable, yet full of indescribable charm.

Her heart was beating so fast that it was almost going to shake her A-cup into a B-cup.
