Honeyed Marriage - Chapter 94
Chapter 94
Zhong Zhanjing took her hand and walked into the private room. Inside, Ruan Yan sat next to Zhou Mengyan. She took the tea from Bai Xianyi and thanked him. Bai Xianyi asked, “Are my sister-in-law’s eyes better?

“En, it’s getting better gradually.”
Zhong Zhanjing and Zhao Yue sat on the other side of Ruan Yan, and Zhong Zhanjing asked, “Ruan Yan, how are you doing? I wanted to invite you some time ago. At that time, you happened to be in Sucheng?”
“Yes, I just went back to see my uncle.”
“By the way, I bought you some dessert when I traveled abroad last time, and I brought it today.”
Zhong Zhanjing asked Zhao Yue to bring the gift box in the corner of the sofa, “Here is hand-made sesame pastry. There are various flavors and some pastries. I think girls will like it. You can try it now.”
“Thank you sister Zhanjing…”
Teng Heng joked: “It’s not fair, just bring it to Ruan Yan, not us.”
Zhong Zhanjing: “What dessert do you boys eat?”
“Eh, who said boys can’t eat anymore?”
Ruan Yan smiled, took out the gift box, and first divided it among them. She fumbled and picked up a packet. As soon as she was about to tear it open, the packet in her hand was taken away by Zhou Mengyan next to her.
He helped her tear it apart and put it in her palm. Ruan Yan tasted a slice, “Is this orange?”
“Is it delicious?” he asked.
“En.”
Zhong Zhan said quietly: “In addition to oranges, there are other flavors. You can also taste Meng Yan.”
Zhou Mengyan didn’t taste it. Instead, he helped Ruan Yan tear up a few other small packets and let her taste them one by one. Ruan Yan guessed the taste: “Is it watermelon flavour?”
“Wrong.”
“Huh? What is that?”
He looked sideways at her as she was concentrating on eating sweets, and the corners of his lips were raised, “Hami melon.”
“Hey, what about the one just now?”
“That was a watermelon just now.”
“Oh…”
Teng Heng’s gaze fell on the two of them, coughing slightly, he laughed and teased: “Hey, you two, do you have to be so fancy to eat candy?”
Zhou Mengyan raised his head and gave him a cold look.
Zhong Zhanjing looked at Zhou Mengyan, and her heart was stifled with emotion.
After a while, the waiter came in to inform them that the food was ready, so several people took their seats. Zhong Zhanjing found an excuse to leave the private room, and Zhao Yue accompanied her.
The two walked out of the room. Looking at Zhong Zhanjing’s gloomy expression, Zhao Yue took her hand and walked to the rockery in front:
“Sure enough, you are still unhappy, right?”
Zhong Zhanjing smiled, “What can I do if I am unhappy? Have I said something for so many years?”
“I told you to confess when you were in high school, otherwise you might be successful after you confessed, and now that Ruan Yan happened ah.”
“But I know that Zhou Mengyan was not interested in me at the time…” She was afraid that she would be rejected after her confession, and even her friends would not be able to make it.

“Do you know that women chase men? Even if you didn’t like you at the time, you told him and let him know your thoughts, maybe he will slowly change his mind about you, you are a boring gourd.” Zhao Yue said.
“But it doesn’t seem to make sense to say this. The only person standing next to him now is Ruan Yan.”
“Where are you inferior to Ruan Yan? In terms of family affairs, education, and ability, you are better than her. I think Zhou Mengyan is more worthy of you.”
Zhong Zhanjing laughed at herself, “But I just envy her.”
“Why do you envy her?” Zhao Yue sneered,
“They are just in a business marriage. Is it possible that Zhou Mengyan will be serious? Actually, Ruan Yan is also quite pitiful. Isn’t she the puppet of the two marriages? She lives with Zhou Mengyan. She is by his side, yet she can never get Zhou Mengyan’s heart, only to call life like a year.”
When Zhong Zhanjing heard the words, her heart was suddenly balanced.
Also, leaving aside the emptiness of marriage, aren’t Ruan Yan and her also the same kind of people?
“But I think Zhou Mengyan is very good to Ruan Yan today…”
Zhong Zhanjing thought of the interaction between the two of them just now when they were eating sweets, and inexplicably felt that there was a special sentiment between the two of them, and she didn’t know if she was thinking too much.
Zhao Yue comforted her: “Don’t think too much, I think Zhou Mengyan has no love cells. This is just an act. His care for Ruan Yan is only out of courtesy. If he likes Ruan Yan I will stand upside down.”
The two finally returned to the room.
The waiter brought tonight’s food.
Ruan Yan wiped her hands with a hot towel.
Because she couldn’t see the dishes that came up, Zhou Mengyan put the dishes in her bowl and then told her what it was.
“Black pepper fat beef slippery eggs.”
Ruan Yan took a sip, and Zhou Mengyan watched her reaction, “How is it?”
She nodded and raised her eyebrows, “This is delicious…”
So Zhou Mengyan picked up the public chopsticks and then picked them up. Zhong Zhanjing saw that he liked to eat, and helped him turn this dish in front of him, and smiled faintly: “This is their signature dish, is it good?”
“Ok.”
At the next moment, Zhong Zhanjing saw Zhou Mengyan pick up a chopstick and put it in Ruan Yan’s bowl.
Her face stiffened.
Zhong Zhanjing observed several dishes and found that Zhou Mengyan hadn’t moved his chopsticks much, but was helping Ruan Yan with the dishes instead. She looked at these dishes for a long time, and basically chose them according to his appetite. Finally couldn’t help but speak:
“Meng Yan, you help Ruan Yan pick, why don’t you eat a little by yourself, is it not to your taste?”
The man put down his chopsticks and said quietly: “It’s okay, I’m not very hungry.”
“Sister Zhan Jing, leave him alone, Zhou Mengyan is not interested in eating right now, and is more interested in other things, right?” Teng Heng raised his eyebrows.
Zhong Zhanjing: “What is it?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the waiter brought a dish and walked over, “This one is steamed king crab.”
“Oh, big dish, such a big king crab.”
Teng Heng looked at the dish excitedly, and Bai Xianyi laughed at him: “You love seafood the most among us. Sister Zhan Jing still has you in her heart.”
“Sister Zhan Jing is so good…”

Zhong Zhan smiled quietly: “You guys eat while it’s hot.”
