After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 146 - 144

Qin Yun didn’t notice at first, and seeing Pei Yan beside her, she habitually called out, "Pei Yan, please get me a pair of chopsticks and a napkin."

The others were still ordering, and no one really paid attention to the two of them. Only Yang Leqi, sitting on another side, heard and glanced at them.

Upon hearing her, Pei Yan directly reached out and handed her the items and even asked the waiter for a towel to pass to Qin Yun. The whole process was seamless, without a hint of hesitation.

But Yang Leqi noticed one thing: other than at the beginning when she followed them in calling him Mr. Pei, Qin Yun almost always called him Pei Yan, sometimes emphasizing the tone when she said Mr. Pei.

Recalling the last time she saw Qin Yun getting into Pei Yan’s car, Yang Leqi’s eyes widened—could it be true that Sister Yun and Mr. Pei are a couple?

At the thought of this possibility, Yang Leqi’s eyes sparkled when she looked at Qin Yun and Pei Yan.

The more Yang Leqi looked, the more she thought the two were very well-matched.

Pei Yan felt Yang Leqi’s gaze and looked over. Yang Leqi immediately pretended she was about to ask Qin Yun, "Sister Yun, what do you want to eat? I’ll order for you."

"I’m not picky; you all can order whatever. But it’s best to order a bit more, lest we have to add more dishes later." Qin Yun hinted at something.

After Qin Yun spoke, the dining table was quiet for a few seconds before they realized—they almost forgot there’s someone at the table with a huge appetite!

The idea of feasting at the production team’s expense tonight was absolutely achievable!

Wang Sirui immediately exclaimed with excitement, "No problem! Let’s double up on all the dishes! If it’s not enough, we’ll order more! The production team is footing the bill today! We haven’t eaten all day; if we don’t eat a lot, we can’t justify today’s hard work!"

"I think I could even eat a whole serving by myself! Let’s have three portions! Two isn’t enough!" Chen Yao, who was also quite hungry today, slapped the table as he spoke.

"Waiter! Bring us three portions of everything, and then some beer. Sister Yun, what are you drinking?" Wang Sirui shouted, then turned to ask.

"Kumquat lemon, Sister Yun, it’s super delicious! It’s the perfect partner for hot pot!" Yang Leqi noticed Qin Yun frowning, clearly not knowing what to drink, and immediately chimed in.

"Let’s go with that," Qin Yun nodded.

"Are you expecting more guests?" The waiter looked at just a few people and asked hesitantly.

"Don’t worry—we can finish it." Pei Yan immediately recognized the waiter’s concern and reassured him.

The waiter hesitated for a moment but still nodded and went to place the order.

The hot pot base quickly arrived, and so did the dishes. The group immediately placed the meat and vegetables into the pot.

Once the food was in, they waited another two or three minutes before it was finally ready.

Qin Yun ate with relish, her peach blossom eyes slightly squinting. This hot pot tasted much better than the one they made themselves last time. Although not as authentic as real hot pot, it was still pretty good.

Pei Yan lowered his eyes, cooked some beef, and placed it in Qin Yun’s bowl. Qin Yun instinctively turned her head and said thank you. Only when their eyes met did she realize it was Pei Yan sitting beside her.

Witnessing this, Yang Leqi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the two: The couple I ship is so sweet!!

Both Qin Yun and Pei Yan, being sensitive, almost instinctively looked at Yang Leqi.

Pei Yan was fine and didn’t feel much when being looked at like this, but Qin Yun choked a bit under Yang Leqi’s fervent gaze. Pei Yan pursed his lips and shot Yang Leqi a glance, reaching over to pass her the kumquat lemon water.

Without giving it a second thought, Qin Yun took the water and started drinking.

Not daring to stare any longer, Yang Leqi glanced timidly at Pei Yan and said, "Sister Yun, to make up for my mistake, I’ll cook the meat for you!"

There was no way Qin Yun would actually let her help; she picked up a piece of beef and placed it in her bowl, "No need, you eat yours."

Perhaps because of the exhaustion from running around all day, the hot pot tonight felt especially satisfying—eating meat in big mouthfuls, drinking alcohol in large swigs, singing joyously. By the time they finished, it was almost eight o’clock.

The group eagerly anticipated the hot spring at Pei Yan’s place. After finishing the hot pot, they quickly returned home to grab a change of clothes and headed to Pei Yan’s residence.

"Ladies first in the hot spring, while we chat over here. Pei Yan’s hot spring is a flowing one, it won’t matter," Chen Yao suggested.

The group fetched some drinks sponsored by the sponsor from the small fridge in Pei Yan’s place and took some snacks to the small terrace next to the hot spring room. Even while soaking in the hot spring, it didn’t hinder their conversation.

Additionally, the glass of the hot spring room was made from special glass, visible from inside but obscured from outside, which they had already investigated in the morning.

"Thanks to Brother Yao for saving our lives!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun and Yang Leqi eagerly grabbed their clothes and entered the hot spring room.

It wasn’t the first time the two had bathed together. Still, Yang Leqi was a bit reserved today, given that there were a few guys outside. Yet she couldn’t help but marvel at Qin Yun’s figure.

Inside the glass room, Yang Leqi’s eyes shone bright, staring straight at Qin Yun, and gasped softly, "Sister Yun! Did you get some body treatment done without telling me?! How did your figure get even better since last time?! I’m so envious!!"

Not only did Yang Leqi look, but she also wanted to reach out, but Qin Yun dodged, "Stop messing around, it tickles!"

Just then, Pei Yan’s low cough could be heard from outside, "Cough, cough..."

Yang Leqi froze and dared not move. Seeing Yang Leqi stop her mischief, Qin Yun stepped directly into the hot spring.

The few outside listened to the sounds from inside, their ears turning red as they glanced awkwardly at the items on the table, not daring to make a sound.

Only when there were no more sounds from Yang Leqi and the others did they let out a sigh of relief, though their ears remained red.

Pei Yan said, "Let’s eat."

Qin Yun closed her eyes, leaning against the edge of the hot spring, surrounded by the soothing water, with a hint of the smell of sulfur. She let out a relaxed sigh, "Today is perfect."

Yang Leqi heard this and immediately ran over, entering the hot spring. As she felt her whole body relax, she echoed, "We should soak in hot springs more often—it’s really so comfortable."

"When I finish filming this episode, I’m going to find a hot spring resort and have a good break. Recently, it’s been constant rushing between schedules and the road, it’s exhausting," Yang Leqi complained.

Qin Yun simply said, "Balance work and rest."

"I totally agree," Yang Leqi nodded in agreement. "By the way, did you pass the audition? Is the role confirmed?"

"The director asked me to wait for notification. The screenwriter seemed to quite like me," Qin Yun recalled and said.

"Then it shouldn’t be a big issue," Yang Leqi replied, immediately sensing a promising opportunity.
