Good Evening, Mr President!

I Have Someone I Like!

It was once again the weekly family dinner back at the main residence.

This time, though, there were more family members around with the presence of the Chi family’s second missy, Chi Yunlin, and her husband, Lu Chuliang. The family gathered around the dining table in a lively reunion.

“Xuzu, you’re 28 already. This is the age where you should be settling down with a family!” lamented the second sister, Chi Yunlin, as she cut the steak in her plate. “Don’t you have someone you fancy at all? Is Su Jieyu not your type? She seems to be very interested in you, though! Why isn’t there any spark on your end?!”

That pretentious woman again?

Chi Yi pouted her lips sullenly.

“Well, I don’t have any romantic feelings for her,” responded Chi Zuxu lightly.

That got the lass who had a spoon in her mouth to smile slightly.

“If so, then we’ll just have to find another girl for you!” Even his mother could not help butting into the conversation. “What kind of girls do you like, son? Tell me, and I’ll help you find a suitable one.”

“Yeah, yeah! That’s right! I’ve got plenty of connections and resources!” His older sister nodded fervently. “Recently, many rich ladies have been actively pestering me about this. Tell us the type of woman you prefer, Zuxu, and I can guarantee that I’ll find a decent and suitable one for you! You won’t lose out in any way!”

“…” Chi Yi nervously looked at the man opposite her, whose gaze seemed to sweep over her inadvertently before he finally parted his lips. “Arrange it however you want. I’m fine with anything.”

As soon as his voice dropped, everyone was rendered speechless as they stared at him in disbelief.

Since when did Chi Zuxu, a cold and aloof chap, become so obedient and allow himself to be at the mercy of others? This was not his usual style!

What about Chi Yi then?

Her piercing gaze had been affixed on his indifferent face since he spouted those words. She bore her eyes so hard into him that it seemed as though she wanted to see through him.

“I’m full!”

All of a sudden, she threw down the fork and knife in her hands, got to her feet, and left the table.

“You haven’t eaten anything at all? How can you be full?!” asked her granny in concern.

“Chi the Fourth!”

Her uncle’s loud voice boomed out coldly as he called her. “Come back and finish the steak before leaving the table!”

His attitude was as aggressive, solemn, and irrefutable as usual.

She pouted. “I’m full already!”

I’m full from my anger already!!

“Sit back down and eat up everything!” insisted the man.

“…” The gloomy young woman stormed her feet as she shot him a glare before eventually returning to the dining table with her head hanging low and obediently picking up the cutlery. Never once did she look at the man sitting across her, though.

This obedient side of hers, however, got everyone else struck dumb.

“Look at that, only Zuxu is capable of taming this willful lass.” Chi Yunlin could not resist a chuckle at this. “To think that our troublemaker Chi the Fourth would actually feel scared for once. It looks like your parents have entrusted you to good hands indeed!”

“Trust you to make fun of me when I’m in a foul mood, Aunt!” grumbled Chi Yi as she furiously sliced the steak to vent out her frustrations.

“What can you make so down at such a young age, lass? Share it with us, and make our day.”

“… Are you my aunt at all?” She rolled her eyes.

Even if I’m not your daughter, there’s no need to be so mean!

“It’s just a jest! Come on, spill the beans, and we’ll help you out.”

“Nope, not telling!”

She refused to reveal a single word about it as she bit down on her lower lip. Nonetheless, she could not resist glancing at her uncle.

He seemed not at all interested in the topic at her end and was leisurely cutting the steak on his plate instead. Somehow, this calm and idle look of his infuriated her.

She was so depressed and gloomy she hardly had any appetite at all, but he actually remained nonchalant-looking.

Eventually…

“I have someone I like!!” announced the lass loudly out of the blue.
