From Sidekick to Bigshot - Chapter 996

Chapter 996: Date (4)

The Jian brothers gathered around Jian Yiling.

On the other hand, Jian Yuncheng and Jian Yunnao were seated on the left and right side of Zhai Yunsheng.

The two of them were relatively quiet. However, their aura remained impressive. It appeared as though they were on guard against thieves.

The six brothers surrounded Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.

As a result, there was no opportunity to get up to romantic things. In fact, Zhai Yunsheng didn’t even get the opportunity to speak to Jian Yiling.

Luo Xiuen noticed that the Jian brothers were doing this intentionally. However, she was not going to tell Jian Yiling about this. In fact, she was going to support the Jian brothers.

Yiling was also her darling!

When it came to this matter, Luo Xiuen, as Jian Yiling’s sister-in-law, stood united with the Jian brothers.

The food at the Hanging Gardens Restaurant was delicious.

However, Jian Yiling noticed that Zhai Yunsheng did not eat much: “Does the food taste bad?”

“No, it tastes good,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He was not angry.

Instead, he was contemplating his decisions. If he knew that this was going to happen, he would have stayed home with his rabbit for dinner.

At the very least, no one else would be disturbing their time together.

“Yiling, don’t mind him. He’s probably not used to people who are so lively,” Jian Yichen said with a smirk on his face.

Jian Yichen enjoyed seeing a depressed look on Zhai Yunsheng’s face.

Jian Yumin smiled before he added: “Master Sheng must be incredibly touched. After all, so many of us came to accompany him and Yiling. He must be very happy.”

“Yiling, what is this dish? It’s super tasty,” Jian Yujie praised.

Jian Yujie’s question successfully attracted Jian Yiling’s attention.

Jian Yiheng added a follow-up question: “Was this menu drafted by Yiling?”

“Mhmm.”

“Not bad,” Jian Yiheng commented.

And thus, Jian Yiling explained the rationale of the menu to Jian Yujie and Jian Yiheng.

Once again, Zhai Yunsheng was left out to dry.

After dinner, everyone went home.

On the way home, Jian Yiheng and Jian Yichen accompanied Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng.

As a result, even on the way back, Zhai Yunsheng could not spend alone time with Jian Yiling.

Finally, when they entered the doors of their apartment, the world finally belonged to just the two of them.

After the door closed, Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head and hugged Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling raised her head to look at Zhai Yunsheng in confusion.

Why was he hugging her?

“I just wanted to hug you,” Zhai Yunsheng said.

Then, Jian Yiling wrapped her arms around Zhai Yunsheng’s waist to hug him back.

Zhai Yunsheng’s waist was lean and strong.

The muscles on his chest were also solid.

It was very comfortable to hug him.

Zhai Yunsheng smiled.

“What is this?” Jian Yiling asked as she took something out from Zhai Yunsheng’s pockets.

“Nothing!” Zhai Yunsheng hurriedly said as he grabbed the item from Jian Yiling’s hands.

However, Jian Yiling already saw the item.

“I know what it is,” Jian Yiling said. “Are you going to use it?”

“No!” Zhai Yunsheng quickly denied. Then, he asked: “Why do you recognize this thing?”

Jian Yiling: “That thing is used to prevent the spread of some diseases such as HIVs and other STDs. And if that thing is in your pocket, don’t you plan to use it?”

“No!” Zhai Yunsheng denied again.

“Then why is it in your pocket?”

“No reason.”

“Huh?” This explanation was not convincing to Jian Yiling.

“Han Mengyu placed it into my pocket…”

After explaining, Zhai Yunsheng chucked it into the bin before he quickly retreated into his bedroom.
