Chasing My CEO Husband

Chapter 370: CHEESECAKE

Ning Mei and Gu Liya reaches the hall, and saw that it was already bustling with people. Gu Liya greeted a few known faces, while Ning Mei politely smiled at them when they looked at her.

She tugged Gu Liya’s arm and said, " Liya, don’t wander far from me, alright. Because I don’t see any familiar faces here except yours. And I have absolutely no wish to be in an awkward situation among these big shots. "

Gu Liya giggled and wishpered, " Whom are you telling this to? I was about to tell you to remain near me. I don’t know these people as well. We might together socialise. "

Both of them giggled at this.

They talked to a few people and after a little while, Gu Yehan joined them. "Hey! Oulala! My sisters look amazing!"

The girls giggled and thanked him. Then he asked, " What took you so long? Everyone was asking about you guys. "

Ning Mei for once looked at Gu Liya who smiled tightly at the question. Before she could come up with any answer, Lee Hao came up to them and said something to Gu Liya.

She turned up to Ning Mei and Gu Yehan and said, " Second Brother, don’t get lost and keep sister in law company. There is an investor whom I need to meet right now. I will be back soon."

Gu Yehan gave a thumbs up to Gu Liya and said, " Dint worry, sisi. I am here. Now go. "

Ning Mei grinned and said, " You don’t need to worry so much, Liya. I am no little child anymore. It’s fine."

After Gu Liya went away with Lee Hao accompanying her, Ning Mei turned her attention back to Gu Yehan. His question was still on her mind. Ning Mei wondered if like Gu Yeze and Gu Liya, he knew something about Chen Yang.

Then perhaps she might get to know something about the situation with Gu Liya and Chen Yang.

She decided to take the chance and said, "Oh actually, we met Chen Yang on the way. And we had a chat, so we got a little late. "

Gu Yehan raised his brows, and on contrary to Ning Mei’s expectations, he asked curiously, "Who Chen Yang?"

Oh, so he had no idea about Chen Yang. That meant, anything with Chen Yang did not involve the whole of Gu family.

Ning Mei shook her head and said, "He was the male lead in the last film I worked in. Don’t you know Chen Yang, the national treasure?"

As if finally realising whom Ning Mei was refering to, Gu Yehan nodded his head and said, " Ahh!! That handsome chap! Yes, yes."

The sister in law and Brother in law duo them engaged themselves in another topic of gossip, when after a while Gu Yehan’s phone started ringing.

Gu Yehan pulled out his phone and saw it was an important call. He excused himself and went somewhere where there was not must hustling and bustling.

Now Ning Mei looked around and her eyes fell on the food corner. Alright, now that’s what is up to her liking. She made her way there, with her mouth already watering at the sight of all the delicacies.

She served some of her favourite items on a plate for herself, and then settled in a quiet place with the food. Before she started eating, she did not forget to snap a picture of the plate and share it on her WeChat memories.

And then just when she took a bite from her cheesecake and was relishing on the delicious taste of it with her eyes closed , she heard someone say, "The strawberry syrup indeed goes well on the cheesecake, isn’t it?"

Ning Mei’s eyes flew open, and she saw an old man sitting opposite to her with his plate full of good and fork.

He was not here a second ago! When he did just appear out of thin air?!

But anyway, since he was talking about her favourite topic that was food, she started talking as well. "Yes. There were many other flavoured cheesecake as well. I thought of tasting one by one. So I chose the strawberry first. "

The man nodded and said, " Hm, it’s good. I also tried strawberry one, then I tried Chocolate one too. And now I brought blueberry one. "

Hearing that, Ning Mei looked over his plate and stared hard. He said, " Blueberry cheesecake was finishing fast, so I got two slices for myself. Who knows if I get to taste it later or not? "

On hearing this, Ning Mei’s eyes slightly widened. She knew it. She should have taken the Blueberry ones too. What if I don’t get to taste it? Should I go and bring one now?

" Are you planning to go and bring a slice for yourself now?" The old man asked reading her mind.

Ning Mei hurriedly nodded her head like a bunny as she eyes towards the cake section.

She then heard the man chuckle and say, "It’s alright. Here, I brought two slices, you can have one. You are already the centre of focus, and people might think what a glutton the brand ambassador is. "

Ning Mei pursed her lips. Well people might really think that. She asked, " Really?"

The man nodded and said, " Yes! See, as you are the model..."

Ning Mei shook her head and said, " No. No. I dont really care what these people think, I was asking if I can really take that extra slice of cake from your plate?"

The old man for a moment went speechless, he blinked and the next moment, he smiled pleasantly and said, " Yes! Ofcourse! "

Ning Mei happily picked up the untouched slice of blueberry cheesecake, and took a bite. And heavens, how tasty it was!

She took another bite of it, and looked at the man sitting before her.

Honestly saying, he was a handsome old man. He looked almost in his seventies, and he looked well maintained. Also, not to mention, one could definitely feel the regal aura around him and in his demeanor. He was no common person. And though he was all smiles, something in him screamed not to mess with him.

Anyway, since he was being nice to her, she would also be the same.
