Chapter 526 - 536: Just Like You to Be in Charge
Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "With Mayor Ye as our parental official, how could I dare to disagree with such a request?"
Ye Yunzhu raised her hand and patted Li Yifei on the head, saying, "Dream on. If anyone is going to be kept, it should be you keeping me. How can a lowly security guard like you make such a grand statement?"
Ye Yunzhu’s words sounded hurtful, but among friends teasing each other like this often meant they were really close. If they weren’t close, jokes could easily lead to hurt feelings. This indicated that she and Li Yifei had the deepest relationship.
Once Ye Yunzhu arrived, she stole all the limelight, becoming the life of the party as everyone centered around her.
At this point, Li Xinyue said, "Everyone, carry on. We have something else to attend to and must leave first."
Ye Yunzhu immediately said, "Don’t do that! You’re leaving just as I arrive; it looks like I’m driving you away. Stay a bit longer. Besides, look at someone who’s really enjoying themselves; if you leave now, isn’t it going to disappoint a certain someone?"
Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao both felt a bit awkward, but Li Yifei laughed and said, "Alright, Yunzhu, stop belittling me. Xinyue, Lianyao, let’s stay a bit longer."
With Li Yifei’s approval, Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao sat down again. As long as Li Yifei didn’t mind, they naturally wanted to spend more time with him. However, with Ye Yunzhu present, they didn’t dare speak carelessly anymore, to avoid causing any trouble for Li Yifei.
Ye Yunzhu didn’t sit next to Li Yifei. The main seat had already been vacated out of respect for her, and she was seated next to Wu Shentong. In their class, these two were the most esteemed.
Everyone congratulated Ye Yunzhu on her promotion to Deputy County Head, and Wu Shentong was the first to raise his glass, saying, "Yunzhu, I wanted to follow in your footsteps, but now you’ve left me several streets behind. This glass is for you, and I hope you’ll look out for me in the future."
