Who Do You Think You're Talking To?

Li Yao looked up at one end of Drum Tower Road, which wasn't far from the Lost Tavern.

So when I looked up, I saw Chen Xi standing there in a snow-white dress.

That dress was so white, like a touch of snow in the hot summer.

Li Yao was stunned for a moment.

Chen Xi stood there gracefully with her hands behind her back, a smile on her face, "Boss, I'm back."

Her familiar tone made it seem as if she hadn't been away on spiritual practice for several months, but had just returned to her hometown of Tong City yesterday and was back today.

Li Yao put down his wine glass and pursed his lips. "It's good that you're back. Let's go home for dinner."

He stood up, Cao Erha, who was inside the tavern, heard the commotion and poked his head out through the door. "Da Yao, who are you talking to... Hey! Big sister's back! Long time no see, where have you been?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "I was busy with some things, so I went out for a while."

Cao Erha walked out the door. "Hey! You have no idea how dumbfounded Da Yao was after you left! First, he dumped the tavern on me and Lao Chen and went on a trip to Romania! It's just a coincidence that Da Yao came back today and cooked a lot of dishes..."

While that guy was gesticulating wildly in front of Chen Xi, Li Yao quietly came up behind Cao Erha and slapped him on the back of the head!

"Smack!"

Li Yao: "It's so hot, why haven't you cut your hair yet!"

Cao Rui: "???"

What the hell does this have to do with whether I get a haircut or not?! You're just targeting me, Young Master Cao! Chen Xi stood to the side, looking at Li Yao with her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled, "Is that so, boss?"

Li Yao waved his hand. "Don't listen to that guy's nonsense, I went to Romania for business!"

A momentous event that will save the world!

Cao Rui wanted to say something more, but Li Yao didn't give him the chance and kicked him away. "I'm hungry!"

Afterwards, Li Yao asked Chen Xi to go back with him.

Li Yao and Cao Rui took out the cold dishes from the refrigerator and put them on the table where they usually had meals together. "It's too hot in the summer, so I only made some cold dishes, but I ordered some crayfish, which should arrive soon."

Cao Rui took a case of beer from the refrigerator behind the bar. "Perfect with beer!"

After he sat down, the crayfish delivery arrived, and Li Yao, Chen Xi, and Cao Rui took turns taking a sip! The ice-cold beer felt like a thin icy thread sliding down their throats, the refreshing sensation making every pore on their bodies open up instantly, and the summer heat was instantly banished! Cao Erha, holding the beer bottle, let out a hearty sigh, "Wow! That feels so good!"

Not long after, Chen Tao arrived as well.

His girlfriend came along with him... She was a pretty girl Zhao Yan.

This was the first time Chen Tao publicly revealed his girlfriend in front of everyone, and she seemed very happy to meet Chen Tao's close friend.

Upon seeing them approach, Cao Rui immediately ordered them to drink as punishment! Three bottles first!

Cao Rui took out a craft beer from the bar; although the bottle wasn't big, it had a high alcohol content.

Old Chen immediately sternly retorted, "We're all so familiar with each other, why are you punishing yourself with a drink!"

He denies it!

However, Zhao Yan boldly opened a bottle of wine and said, "I'm happy today! I'll drink for my Chen Tao!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back.

A bottle of craft beer down in one gulp!

Seeing this, Chen Tao also became anxious. "Drink less!"

As he spoke, he picked up a glass of wine and drank two bottles of liquor in quick succession...

Cao Rui stared in disbelief. "I'm just having a meal and drinks, and I have to eat dog food? I'm so jealous, what about you guys?"

Li Yao leaned closer to Chen Xi and asked loudly, "What did you say?"

Cao Erha: "..."

He picked up the bottle he'd just been drinking and chugged it down his throat, truly letting the alcohol aggravate his sorrows! After finishing the bottle, he slammed it on the table and yelled, "So what if I'm a sour grapes!"

After the farce,

Five people sat around a table. Chen Tao and Cao Rui talked about some things that had happened at the company recently. Chen Tao's girlfriend sat quietly to the side, gazing at Chen Tao with tender eyes. Cao Erha several times because of her longing look. Li Yao also started to talk about some of his experiences in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.

For example, there's a Didu Avenue there.

For example, there's also the Jinling Grand Hotel there.

The restaurant owner was a true Chinese, but he looked like a foreigner and spoke fluent dialect...

It gradually got late.

The tavern was air-conditioned, and warm yellow light shone through the doorway, creating a window in the dark night.

There were seven or eight cases of beer around the table, and Cao Erha and Lao Chen were both a little drunk.

Old Cao propped his hand up on the table and waved it, saying, "Hey Da Yao, let me tell you, has a beauty and wellness center opened on this street?"

Li Yao: "Huh?"

He hasn't been back much lately, and even when he does, he just rushes in and out by taxi, not paying much attention to the changes on this street.

Besides, the economy has been sluggish in the past year, and many stores in various places have changed locations every two or three months.

Many people who have made some money by chance have tried to start a business to make more money, but they all end up losing money... On the other hand, landlords have always made a steady profit.

Cao Erha, drunk, said, "The proprietress of that place I told you about has come looking for you here several times! That woman! She's incredibly charming! Even if she's all covered up in the middle of summer, she can still make you swoon!"

Li Yao couldn't remember who this person was...

Old Chen kicked the guy in the shinbone and said, "Old Cao, are you drunk?"

Cao Rui was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I drank too much! Don't mind me, little sister, I'll punish myself with a drink!"

Everyone: "..."

Are you thirsty today?

Li Yao looked at Chen Xi: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm very upright!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Mmm!"

"I trust the boss the most!" Cao Rui seemed about to retort when he heard the bell hanging at the door ring out crisply. Old Cao had long considered himself the owner of the tavern, and looked up to say, "We're not open today, please leave, sir... Holy crap! Da Yao is this woman!"

Li Yao looked up...

Okay!

Isn't this Jiang Zhiying, whom we haven't seen in a long time? Her younger sister was sent to her best friend's place by Li Yao because she was suffering from a terminal illness. Now she is in charge of the Great Han Empire and is the Imperial Chancellor, second only to the Emperor!

Jiang Zhiying wore a dark green halter dress today, with a white chiffon shawl draped over her shoulders.

The flowing dress clung to her body, outlining her captivating curves...

Her figure wasn't as perfect as Maeve's, her legs weren't as amazing as Big Sis Feng Li's, and her proportions weren't as explosive as Chen Xi's.

But she possesses the very qualities Cao Rui described... a captivating charm that stirs the heart!

Jiang Zhiying's eyes lit up when she saw Li Yao at the table. She quickly walked up to Li Yao and leaned forward slightly, saying, "Mr. Li, it's been a long time!"

Cao Rui and Chen Tao immediately huddled together, ready to watch the show...
