CHAPTER 747: CHAPTER 747: HONEY, I’M HUNGRY

"Meng Siyu, did you really get married?" Xie Ziyao looked at Meng Siyu in shock, disbelief written all over her eyes.

How could that be possible, he wasn’t married, was he?

If she hadn’t misheard just now, Meng Siyu called that woman "my wife," she never knew that the cold Meng Siyu, who was like a block of ice, could have such a gentle and doting voice.

"Of course."

Meng Siyu held Tang Yue’s slender waist, the usually reserved and cold Meng Siyu was now eagerly declaring his ownership, saying, "My wife, Tang Yue."

Every time Meng Siyu’s gaze landed on Tang Yue, there seemed to be an undissolvable tenderness.

Meng Siyu had no intention of introducing Xie Ziyao. Tang Yue glanced sideways, looking heroic, but straight on she didn’t look quite as imposing, instead she seemed delicate, like a spoiled and proud princess from a good family.

"You’re lying to me," Xie Ziyao looked at Tang Yue incredulously. She seemed to be about the same age, how could she be married?

Previously, she definitely heard him talking to Qin Anhao.

Meng Siyu didn’t even glance at her, he took her hand, her hand was somewhat cold, his large hand enveloping hers, he asked, "Are you cold? Wait for me, I’m taking you to dinner."

"Okay." Tang Yue nodded, allowing him to hold her hand, and mysteriously said, "I have a surprise for you."

The couple conversed as if no one else was around, even though there weren’t any other excessive actions, just Meng Siyu holding Tang Yue’s hand, the distance between them wasn’t close, but the atmosphere between them was warm and intertwined, without any gaps.

Xie Ziyao felt deeply hurt by this scene.

Previously, Meng Siyu had said he was married, but she had never believed it. Meng Siyu was young and usually so cold, just like a block of ice, but even so, Xie Ziyao had fallen in love with him at first sight, liking his stern demeanor.

The more he rejected, the more it ignited the defiance in Xie Ziyao’s heart.

"Aren’t you going to ask me what my relationship with Meng Siyu is?" Xie Ziyao stepped forward, saying, "You must be boyfriend and girlfriend, right? Although Meng Siyu calls you his wife, as long as you’re not married, I still have a fair chance to compete."

Tang Yue originally didn’t want to bother with her, but Xie Ziyao... was really unpleasant.

She turned her bright eyes towards Xie Ziyao’s stubborn face. Tang Yue stepped forward, her height similar to Xie Ziyao’s, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly, lifting their interlocked hands, she said, "Too late, we are legally married."

"You look delicate, you probably wouldn’t want to break up our marriage, right?" Tang Yue was too lazy to look again at Xie Ziyao’s hurt face. "Si Yu, let’s go home."

Tang Yue and Meng Siyu walked away hand in hand, encountering many students along the way, Meng Siyu tightly holding Tang Yue’s hand, with no intention of letting go.

"Xie Ziyao, Si Yu really is married," Qin Anhao kindly reminded.

Even if Xie Ziyao still didn’t believe it in her heart, she had to believe it now.

People had made it this clear, she wasn’t a fool, she stared at Qin Anhao until he felt uncomfortable, and asked, "Xie Ziyao, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Qin Anhao, did you know he was married already?" Xie Ziyao clenched her fist tightly.

Qin Anhao stepped back, saying, "Meng Siyu has told you more than once!"

Even he had heard it twice, but Xie Ziyao for some reason, just couldn’t bring herself to believe it.

Xie Ziyao raised her hand and pointed at Qin Anhao, saying, "If it weren’t for you and Meng Siyu joking around, saying he was deceiving me, how could I have caused today’s mess?"

"Ah?" Qin Anhao looked utterly confused.

Xie Ziyao reminded him, "Do you remember what you and Meng Siyu said when you were eating barbecue outside?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Anhao’s expression changed instantly and he asked, "You, you were there at that time?"

At that time, he had just made a joke, not expecting Xie Ziyao to take it seriously.

He still remembered what he said then: Siyu, you clearly aren’t married, why lie to her?

It was just a joke at the time, and it was explained later.

But who knew, Xie Ziyao was there, no wonder Meng Siyu said several times he was married, and Xie Ziyao didn’t believe it.

Qin Anhao discreetly took a step back and said, "There are plenty of fish in the sea; without Meng Siyu, you can find someone else."

"I don’t care, you take responsibility for this." Xie Ziyao stepped forward, grabbing Qin Anhao’s arm, saying, "You owe me a meal to make amends."

"If you dare not treat me, if you don’t, I’ll tell Meng Siyu it was me who was deceiving."

Although Xie Ziyao thought highly of herself, coming from a good family and with good looks, she had always been pampered since childhood. She liked Meng Siyu at first sight because she found him handsome and cool. Despite Meng Siyu’s rejections and lies about being married, Xie Ziyao felt indignant deep inside.

Now knowing that he was indeed married, Xie Ziyao did have moral principles—she wasn’t intending on wrecking someone else’s marriage, and naturally, she sought out Qin Anhao.

After leaving the company, Tang Yue spoke cheerfully, "Today, I stewed pork ribs with broad beans. These broad beans were sun-dried by my mom in the summer, making the stew particularly fragrant."

She liked eating broad beans, so every year Zhang Hualian would sun-dry a lot of them, keeping them for Tang Yue to take away and slowly use to make soups.

"Wife, where did you cook the soup?" Meng Siyu was a bit puzzled.

Wasn’t Tang Yue supposed to have just arrived in Jin City today?

"Come with me."

Tang Yue led Meng Siyu back to her place, pushed open the gate cheerfully and said, "We’re going to spend the New Year here, how about it, do you like it?"

The house was something she had Lian Qingyang help find a long time ago. After arriving in Jin City, Tang Yue had prepared dinner first before going to find Meng Siyu.

Enthusiastically, Tang Yue took Meng Siyu to see every room, saying, "This place is also close to your company. When you finish work in the evenings, you can come straight home, and we can be together during the New Year."

"Wife, I really have become a kept man." Meng Siyu pulled her into his arms, the faint fragrance on her body making him unwilling to let go.

"Haha, what’s wrong with me taking care of you?" Tang Yue said with a proud face.

"Wife..." Meng Siyu couldn’t help but laugh, thinking how in other people’s homes, wives depend on their husbands to take care of them and ideally do nothing else, but his wife, on the contrary, wanted to take care of him?

"Alright, I’ll wait for my wife to take care of me." Meng Siyu kissed her cheek, smiling mischievously, and said, "Wife, I’m hungry."
