Chapter 86 – All she could think of was the embarrassing moment when she mistook him as her blind date (2)
“Eh? Xiao Lu is here today too?”
Mr. Gu suddenly noticed a man in a white tee and LV sunglasses sitting on the bench farthest away from them and greeted him from afar, “Hey, Xiao Lu. I’ve heard you have been very busy!”
Xiao Lu heard his voice, turned, and was also surprised to see Gu Chengyi.
Xiao Lu said something to the older gentleman sitting next to him to have him keep an eye out for him before he put down his fishing pole and walked toward Gu Chengyi.
“Old Mr. Gu, I didn’t think I’d see you here today!”
Mr. Gu was not just any man; even this Mr. Xiao Lu was quite respectful toward him.
Mr. Gu waved his hand casually and said, “Ah, don’t call me that. It sounds so awkward. Just call me Old Gu.”
Very few people with his status and at his age were humble like that.
Mr. Lu chuckled softly and said, “Okay, I shall do that going forward.”
On the other side, Lin Yiyi had already finished setting up and even the charcoals were nice and hot. On top of that, she placed the grill skewers that she had prepared earlier and called out to Gu Chengyi, who was still in mid-conversation, “Dad, stop slacking and start fishing… our Shanshan is getting hungry!”
Mr. Gu, who was interrupted, didn’t know how to respond to that.
Fishing was his hobby. It’s a very classy sport, okay?
So why did he feel like a fisherman all of a sudden?
Mr. Lu also looked over at the source of the voice and saw the woman in a pink tee and jean shorts. Her auburn hair was tied into a ponytail, and her entire person exuded youth and beauty.
Her hair was even slightly permed, looking very fitting on her.
Mr. Gu happily introduced them, “That’s my daughter. She’s quite pretty, eh?”
Mr. Gu might look very conservative, but he was really quite proud of her deep down inside.
Mr. Lu noticed that the boy next to her was giving him a warning stare like a wolf pup.
He chuckled to himself and looked away, “Yes, she is quite pretty.”
On the other side, Lin Yiyi, who had finished urging her stepdad to hurry up in order to feed them, now started humming as she brushed a layer of oil onto the beef…
On top of the barbeque grill, there was sizzling noises that made everyone drooled.
Lin Yiyi, who had just started grilling, said in a resigned voice, “Darling, it’s not ready yet. It will be a few more minutes.”
They weren’t too far away from the lake, which was why Mr. Gu, who was fishing, could hear them calling out to him.
Seeing Mr. Gu lowering his fishing pole while chatting with the man that stopped looking their way, Meng Yuran finally stopped looking in their direction and turned back.
“All you ever think about is food.”
He sounded gravely disappointed in her.
The little girl, who was the object of the complaint, snickered in disdain, “Oh yeah? Then you better not have any in a little bit~”
Meng Yuran paid no attention to his silly little sister. Noticing that his mother had already placed all the skewered meat onto the grill, gave in and squatted down to skewer the remaining food items.
As the skewer meats’ aroma got stronger and stronger as time went on, never mind about Meng Shanshan, even the hard-working Meng Yuran, squatting there and working hard, started to find the aroma hard to resist.
He knew that his mom was a good cook, but ….
This smelled way too tasty!
“That smells so good. Can I try some?”
Suddenly, a man’s voice came from above.
Meng Yuran looked up and immediately saw the man from earlier looking at his mother and already standing right next to the barbeque grill.
Lin Yiyi’s hands paused all of a sudden. She looked up and saw the man with a slight smile on him.
Oh sh*t! She almost sent the skewer flying!
Lin Yiyi’s lips twitched.
“What a coincidence, Ms. Lin.”
Lin Yiyi, “……”
She didn’t want that kind of coincidence at all!
All she could think of was the embarrassing moment when she mistook him as her blind date.
