Chapter 205 Deliberate Imitation
A few drops of cold sweat slid down the head chef's forehead. He didn't know how he had offended the boss, so he could only bite the bullet and order the other two chefs to serve the dishes.
Hearing the commotion, the servants appeared one after another, some washing fruit, some making tea, and some mopping the floor, creating a lively scene.
Cheng Ai's head was spinning until she saw the delicious food in front of her. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating with a shy expression.
Damn it, so many people must have seen me kissing Yaya just now, how embarrassing!
Ye Jingke, who was forcibly suppressing his anger, looked at the servants in the living room and gritted his teeth in frustration.
Ai Ai can't cook, and he's too busy with work to go home every day. After thinking it over, he hired a group of people in case of emergency, but unexpectedly, this indirectly affected him and Ai Ai. Isn't this like shooting himself in the foot?
It seems that layoffs need to be put on the agenda!
Dinner had just ended when Ye Jingke received a phone call and left in a hurry.
Cheng Ai didn't stop her. She asked the maid to bring her laptop, and then settled on the sofa to eat fruit and watch dramas.
The following evening, Ye Jingke rushed back, dusty and tired, to take a shower and change his clothes before taking Cheng Ai to the Liao family for their appointment.
The moment the car came to a steady stop in front of a villa, Liao Chengming greeted him with a big smile.
He patted Ye Jingke on the shoulder first, a hint of admiration flashing in his weathered eyes, "Jingke, you've become more and more outstanding since I last saw you."
Ye Jingke smiled modestly and said politely, "You flatter me."
Seeing that the other person's gaze had shifted to the side, he immediately took Cheng Ai's small hand and introduced her thoughtfully:
"Uncle, this is my girlfriend, Cheng Ai."
"Ai Ai, this is Yunqing's father."
Cheng Ai smiled faintly, her brain racing, trying to come up with a good answer after a long time.
Just as she was frowning in worry, Liao Yunqing happened to drive home. She immediately flashed a standard smile, revealing eight teeth, and said, "Uncle, I've heard so much about you! You and Brother Yunqing look so alike. You truly are father and son!"
"Huh?" Liao Chengming frowned in surprise, not understanding.
Liao Yunqing was equally shocked; he had just arrived home and had no idea what had happened.
Ye Jingke's expression remained unusually calm. After all, his girlfriend's thought process was quite peculiar, and it wasn't surprising that she would occasionally say something outrageous.
Liao Chengming, being older, was the first to regain his senses. He invited everyone into the house and instructed the servants to make tea.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lü Hanmo and Li Xiaolin arrived.
Cheng Ai was taken aback, and tightened her grip on Ye Jingke's small hand.
Why did Xiaolin's bracelet stop working again? Is someone playing tricks on her, or has she been tainted by a new evil spirit?
Noticing Cheng Ai's unusual behavior, Ye Jingke lowered his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Ai ignored him and looked at Li Xiaolin seriously, "Sister, after the guests left, who did you see?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Hanmo stiffened his back and stammered, "Xiao Ai'ai, don't scare me, is she my daughter...?"
“Answer my question.” Cheng Ai’s face turned cold.
Ye Jingke winked at Lü Hanmo, signaling him to speak quickly.
Liao Chengming and his son exchanged a glance and chose to remain silent and watch the show unfold.
“I only saw Yunyan,” Li Xiaolin said obediently.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Especially Liao Chengming and his son, who never imagined that they would be gossiping about their own family.
Cheng Ai crossed her arms and gazed into deep thought.
Liao Yunyan, it's Liao Yunyan again. Who exactly is she that she can make my spiritual power launch attacks on me time and time again?
Just then, the door of one of the rooms on the second floor suddenly opened.
A graceful figure in a light blue floor-length dress descended the stairs and appeared in everyone's sight. "Dad, Big Brother, Brother Mo, Sister Lin, Brother Ke, good evening."
Liao Yunyan greeted everyone with a smile, but ignored Cheng Ai.
Does a lowly illegitimate daughter, who can't even be brought into the open, deserve to greet you?
The crowd responded perfunctorily, then turned their attention back to Cheng Ai, waiting for her to answer their questions.
Cheng Ai, however, stared intently at Liao Yunyan, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
Everything seems normal on the other end. Could it be that Xiaolin's daughter's matter has nothing to do with her?
Seeing her rival staring intently at her, Liao Yunyan arrogantly raised her chin, slowly bent over, and while showing off her figure, picked up a red grape with two fingers and handed it to Ye Jingke, "Brother Ke, this fruit was air-freighted in this morning. It's sweet and refreshing. Would you like to try some?"
Ye Jingke smiled politely and refused without looking at him, "No need, thank you."
Cheng Ai glanced at it only once before screaming and closing her eyes, "My God, what's going on? We have guests at home, how can you be so shameless as to deliberately flirt with men?"
Liao Yunyan, who was secretly tugging at her skirt, froze, quickly stood up, and growled fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!"
Cheng Ai was astonished, her bright eyes filled with doubt. "The scumbag second female lead in TV dramas always tries to seduce the male lead by showing skin. Do directors just make random films?"
The Lu couple tacitly lowered their heads; it was best for them to refrain from interfering in other people's family affairs.
Liao Yunqing glanced at her briefly before looking away. He was already used to his sister's inability to resist Jing Ke whenever she saw him.
As the head of the family, Liao Chengming usually pays the most attention to manners and etiquette. Now that his beloved daughter had made such an unseemly move in front of everyone, he immediately changed his expression and sternly reprimanded her, "Yunyan, even if everyone here is family, you can't be so insolent. Go back to your room and change into something proper, or you won't get to eat dinner!"
Liao Yunyan dared not disobey her father's orders. She glared at Cheng Ai and reluctantly turned to go upstairs.
Returning to the living room, she changed into a pure white dress, her hair loosely styled with a white jade hairpin, looking both innocent and sexy, a stark contrast to her previous appearance.
She swayed her supple waist as she walked to Liao Yunqing's side and sat down, looking obedient and gentle.
Cheng Ai blinked, glanced at Liao Yunyan's attire, lowered her eyes and tugged at her own dress, her brows furrowed with suspicion.
Is it just my imagination? Liao Yunyan's makeup and demeanor seem to be... imitating me?
"Xiao Ai Ai!" Lu Hanmo, who had been waiting for an answer for a long time, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't care about his reputation and asked urgently, "I'm not short of money. As long as Xiao Lin and her daughter are safe, I'm willing to pay any price."
Li Xiaolin looked worried and gently stroked her lower abdomen, echoing, "Yes, Xiao Ai, this pregnancy was hard-won. If anything else happens, I really won't be able to live."
Cheng Ai quickly snapped out of her daze, took a deep look at the other person's stomach, and then said seriously, "I'm not sure what the problem is either. I'll come to your house after dinner and have a thorough check-up. If I find the root cause, I'll deal with it immediately!"
