As soon as Ning Li looked up, she could see the high bridge of his nose and smooth jawline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold frown that usually seemed to be permanently etched between his eyebrows faded away and now emitted a rare warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a moment, Ning Li felt something tightening around her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His long and well-defined fingers gently wrapped around her as he tied a knot behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu backed up and sized her up with a smile lifting the corners of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li looked down and saw that there was now an apron hanging around her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not touched her throughout the whole process. There had only been some friction from the clothes, but somehow, Ning Li still felt as if they were too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a step back, but the kitchen was too small, so there was nowhere she could retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li dropped her head slightly and said, “Thanks, Second Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s eyes swept past her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was wearing a very loose white sweater today. Wearing the apron had immediately emphasized the slender and curvy lines of her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a beautiful sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu recalled the scene earlier and noticed that she seemed to have lost some weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his phone in his pocket rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li looked at it and said, “Second Brother, is that your phone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu took it out and glanced at it, then hung up without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just spam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Wei Songze stared bitterly at his phone and felt torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What did Sister Li just say? Did she want me to go to Master Yu’s house? At this hour? Isn’t that too much?! Also…the painting…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Tsk tsk…I seldom hear Sister Li get this flustered… I wonder who she ran into? Forget it… I’ll just wait a little longer.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Gu Siyang dialed the number again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please dial again later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? Why is Second Master Lu suddenly so busy that he isn’t even answering the phone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Tinglan happened to pass by. Upon hearing this, he paused and looked at Gu Siyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang was sitting in the driver’s seat of his car that was parked in the yard as he stared blankly at his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Tinglan walked over and knocked on the car window, so Gu Siyang lowered the window and looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lil Uncle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Tinglan looked at his nephew’s phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You seem to be in contact with Lu Huaiyu quite frequently lately…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang snickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a small business. We were supposed to discuss the details today, but he hasn’t been answering my calls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang did not know where Lu Huaiyu was, so he could only wait in the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that, Gu Tinglan nodded and said, “So, he stood you up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang was in disbelief. “How is that possible?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not done anything to offend Lu Huaiyu. Why would he stand him up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang once again fished out his phone and called Lu Huaiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one answered, so Gu Siyang hung up the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, by the way, he probably blocked you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang was baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, Gu Tinglan pulled open the passenger car door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well…since you’re free, give me a ride.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang was rendered speechless at suddenly being ordered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grit his teeth and said in defiance, “Lil Uncle, I didn’t come to Yunzhou to be your driver!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Tinglan just leaned back in the passenger seat and closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t even want a driver like you. It’s just temporary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang did not know how to react to that and floored the gas pedal. The car then sped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this was not the first time Gu Tinglan had sat in his car, so he was used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh right, I forgot to ask earlier. Didn’t you pester Ning Li to sign with LY earlier? How did it go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang was still annoyed, but upon hearing this, he raised his eyebrows in triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I approached her myself, so certainly it’s not a problem! She even promised to seriously consider signing with LY next year after the college entrance exams!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serious consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that there was still a possibility that she would reject the offer, yet Gu Siyang was still so happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Tinglan could not be bothered to agitate his silly nephew again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gu family was prestigious, so they had initially not agreed to Gu Siyang being involved in racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had made some achievements in recent years, so his father turned a blind eye but was still not always particularly supportive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that Gu Tinglan asked this question already showed great concern for Gu Siyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Lil Uncle, are you also interested in this now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang smirked and continued, “Do you have any intention of investing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certainly not short of money, and neither was LY, but who would ever think that there was such a thing as having too much money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, if he could pull his uncle in as a partner, they could present a united front at home in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father was always disciplining him, but was lenient towards his uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Tinglan said frankly, “No, thanks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was doing well in his professional field and was certainly not interested in getting involved in Gu Siyang’s business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…if you want to sign on Ning Li, you should show me the contract first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Why? Lil Uncle, although LY is considered a small business, we still have a professional legal department!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why I want to see it. Who knows how you bosses try to scam the newcomers,” Gu Tinglan said in a calm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang was once again speechless and thought, ‘Ha! Before you say these things, can you first donate all the trust funds under your name? Are you even my uncle?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh wait, there’s probably no need for that…” Gu Tinglan suddenly thought of something and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘With Lu Huaiyu around, who could possibly scam Ning Li?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, Ning Li finally finished cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were four dishes and one soup on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shrimp with celery, pork ribs with pepper and salt, roasted yam with chestnuts, beef slice with salsa, and chicken soup with pine mushroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rich aroma filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Pingchuan sat in the main seat, while Ning Li and Lu Huaiyu sat facing each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was greatly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just think, it’s been almost a year since I’ve had Lili’s home cooked meal! Huaiyu, sit down and try it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said that, he handed Lu Huaiyu a bowl of soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not everyone is lucky enough to taste this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s gaze fell onto the bowl of soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Mr. Yu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li also looked over at the same time. Her eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Yu, I did most of the work this time. Why isn’t the first bowl of soup for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Pingchuan laughed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huaiyu’s a guest, yet you want to be petty about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and gave Ning Li the bowl of soup he had just received from Yu Pingchuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s eyes curved as she smiled at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Second Brother. Let me serve you a bowl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said that, she served him another bowl of soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soup was clear, with two slices of pine mushrooms and not even one piece of chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Pingchuan did not notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu lowered his eyes to look at it and raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed extremely picky when it came to food, so he would never eat the chicken meat that had been boiled in the soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, very few people knew this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head and looked at Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Pingchuan smiled eagerly and urged him. “Huaiyu, quickly, have a taste!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu sipped the soup with a spoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Pingchuan looked at him and asked with great expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think? Isn’t our Lili a great cook?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu gently nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Lili is amazing.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1401,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.756Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","09d7f8ff8c122105b7a341cc58fe97f5f4a562d70612f4d840acf3eb0dacedaf","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-184","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-182",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
