After was.h.i.+ng up, Yuan Zhou had already changed into a snow-white middle coat and was sitting at the table with an ancient book in his hand, preparing to read.

Time pa.s.sed by minute by minute. Soon, Yuan Zhou raised his head and looked at the clock. It was already the closing time of the pub.

Hua la, Yuan Zhou pushed open the window and happened to see Mao Ye locking the door.

Be careful on the road. When Mao Ye stood up, Yuan Zhou lowered his head and warned her.

Okay, thank you, boss. Mao Ye nodded and ran to the bus stop.

At this time, the last bus to the University was waiting there. He had to run faster so that the bus wouldnt have to wait for him.

Yuan Zhou watched Mao Ye get on the bus all the way. Only when the tail lights of the bus disappeared did Yuan Zhou withdraw his gaze and prepare to close the window.

Compa.s.s, compa.s.s, An energetic voice came from the opposite side. Obviously, Wu Hai was greeting Yuan Zhou when he saw him.

Yes, sleep early. After a nod, Yuan Zhou decisively closed the window and returned to his room.

This way, the crow beast wont have any thoughts about having supper. Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

But at this moment, the phone suddenly rang with a piercing Ding Ling Ling Ding Ling sound.

It cant be that the crow beast, the crow beast has arrived, right? Yuan Zhou was startled and didnt take out his phone immediately.

Only after the phone rang several times did Yuan Zhou take it over. When he found it wasnt Wu Hai on the screen, he then picked up the phone with relief.

Ling Hong, its so late. Whats the matter? Yuan Zhou asked directly.

Thats right. It was Ling Hong who called at this late hour, not Wu Hai that Yuan Zhou had thought.

You should congratulate me now, compa.s.s. Ling Hongs voice revealed a jubilant mood and he said complacently.

Oh? Very well, congratulations. Yuan Zhou directly congratulated him straightforwardly.

Youre so insincere. Arent you going to ask me what it is about? Ling Hong said discontentedly.

Whats the matter? Yuan Zhou sat down, closed the ancient book and asked seriously.

It wasnt because Yuan Zhou had become easy to talk to recently, but because he had seen how hard Ling Hong had been working recently. As a friend, he was willing to joke with Ling Hong.

Ive succeeded! Ive succeeded in my proposal! Im getting married! Even through the phone, Yuan Zhou could feel that Ling Hong had added at least three exclamation marks when he said that.

Then, congratulations to you. Youre about to become Xiao Qings husband. Its only right now. It was rare for Yuan Zhou to say such a long sentence, but his tone was very sincere.

Yes, its perfectly legitimate. Ling Hong nodded heavily and said.

Yuan Zhou lowered his head and took a look at the shelf at the side, which was filled with the precious gifts from the customers. Almost without hesitation, Yuan Zhou said,Ill be free soon. Can I prepare a wedding banquet for you and Xiao Qing?

After saying that, Yuan Zhou frowned slightly and touched his forehead, saying again,This way, I can save on the money.

Yuan Zhou felt that his question was too serious, thus he hurriedly added a reason.

On the other side, Ling Hong said cooperatively,That wont do. Youre saving on cooking, but you cant be stingy with Xiaoyas share.

Um Okay, Ill pay for her. Yuan Zhou said.

Hahaha, okay. Ill be waiting for you to give me a big red packet then. Ling Hong said with a bright smile.

I will, Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly.

Actually, I want to hold a big one, but Xiao Qing said its not necessary. She doesnt like it to be too crowded, so she only wants to invite her close friends and family. Ling Hong sighed and said.

Thats good too. Its too tiring with so many people. Yuan Zhou said.

Yeah, Im too tired. Ling Hong said.

When do you plan to get married? Yuan Zhou didnt mention that he was tired, but asked directly.

Come directly to the banquet three days later. Ling Hong paused for a while and then continued,but you have to come earlier. Youll be the host. After all, youve just agreed to it.

Ling Hongs tone was as if he was taking advantage of Yuan Zhou, which made Yuan Zhou unable to laugh.

Okay, I just checked the calendar. Three days later is a good day for marriage. Its an auspicious day. Yuan Zhou said.

Of course, this is a good day for me. If it wasnt for the fact that tomorrow and the day after arent so good, I would have held a wedding banquet tomorrow and told everyone that Xiao Qing is my wife. Ling Hong said in high spirits.

Yes. Yuan Zhou answered lightly and didnt say anything more.

Then Ill get someone to send you an invitation tomorrow. Ill also say it in the main group. Ling Hong said.

Alright, Ill wait for the invitation. Yuan Zhou answered.

Sleep early. After saying that, Ling Hong hung up the phone first.

Du, du, du. The phone buzzed twice and then the screensaver was automatically restored. It was a photo of Yin ya holding a gla.s.s of red wine. Together with the afternoon sunlight, it made Yin ya look beautiful and warm.

I hope everything will get better. Yuan Zhou stroked Yin yas photo gently and sighed.

Actually, Ling Hongs phone call came suddenly and late, but Yuan Zhou didnt ask anything. He just answered readily and even proposed to hold a wedding banquet.

It was only because Yuan Zhou wanted to do so.

Speaking of which, the group is probably going to be lively soon. Yuan Zhou unlocked his phone and began to peep at the screen silently.

Just as Yuan Zhou had said, although it was already late at night, the people in the group were still blown out by Ling Hongs Red Notice.

Although the people in the group werent clear about ruan Xiaoqings condition, they didnt ask about it out of consideration. They just congratulated Ling Hong and looked forward to Yuan Zhous wedding banquet.

Little ya didnt come out. She must be asleep. After peeking at the phone screen for quite a while, Yuan Zhou came to such a conclusion. Then, he turned off the phone and prepared to go to sleep.

In the early morning, Yuan Zhou woke up one minute before the alarm clock rang. He turned off the alarm clock at once and then got up to wash up.

Nowadays, Yuan Zhou wouldnt go to the toilet with his eyes closed after waking up in the morning. After all, he had been used to sleeping late and waking up early for a long time.

After was.h.i.+ng up, Yuan Zhou changed into his sportswear and went downstairs to start his morning run.

Morning, boss Yuan.

Good Morning. Boss Yuan has become more handsome again.

Good Morning, boss Yuan.

Hehe, Good Morning, uncle Yuan.

As Yuan Zhou ran past them, the neighbors who pa.s.sed by all greeted Yuan Zhou. Yuan Zhou also nodded his head in response to them one by one.

Then, a familiar person joined Yuan Zhous morning run. It was none other than Xia Yu.

Good Morning, boss Yuan, Xia Yu greeted him with a smile.

Yes, morning. After Yuan Zhou said that, he habitually moved two steps away from Xia Yu.

It couldnt be helped. Xia Yu was even taller than Yuan Zhou. As a Prince Charming, he naturally couldnt let others find out that he wasnt even as tall as a girl.

Xia Yu could now follow Yuan Zhou to run the whole course and even do more exercise than Yuan Zhou because she had basically recovered recently.

Soon, the two of them ran to the small path below Xia Yus house.

Hey, daughter. Xia Yu turned around when she heard her fathers greeting.

Xia Yus parents were both standing on the path and looking at her and Yuan Zhou.

h.e.l.lo. You must be boss Yuan, right? Xia Yus father greeted Yuan Zhou politely and respectfully.

It was out of respect. After Xia Yus father heard of Yuan Zhous name, he earnestly inquired about Yuan Zhou and came to the conclusion that his daughters current recovery was definitely related to Yuan Zhou.

That was why he was so respectful.

Yes, h.e.l.lo. Yuan Zhou slowed down his steps and said with a nod.

Boss Yuan, youre really young and promising. Youre a famous person in the American Medical field. Xia Yus father could not help but ask.

Thank you for the compliment. Although Yuan Zhou didnt understand the joke that he was a famous person in the medical field of the United States, it didnt stop him from thanking her with a serious expression.

Thats not a compliment. There are so many reports about you over there now. Xia Yus mother nodded.

Thank you, he said. Yuan Zhou thanked him earnestly.

Alright, we wont stop you from running. You guys can continue, continue. Xia Yus father pulled his wife aside and made way for her.

Alright, see you next time. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then started to run.

Naturally, Xia Yu also went with them. However, she felt a little embarra.s.sed now. After all, her parents had disturbed Yuan Zhou just now.

Im sorry. My parents have disturbed you, boss Yuan. Xia Yu took a deep breath and apologized.

Its fine, its not considered a disturbance. Yuan Zhou shook his head.

Thank you, he said. Xia Yu said.

This time, Yuan Zhou didnt answer her. He just jogged earnestly. In fact, he was thinking about the medical field of the United States that Xia Yus father had mentioned just now.

Looking at that persons expression, he didnt get the wrong person. Hes pretty sure that the famous person in the medical field is me. Yuan Zhou thought seriously.

Did I conquer the United States medical community without my knowledge? Yuan Zhou couldnt help muttering inwardly.

Suddenly, the system appeared and a line of familiar words appeared to make its presence known.

The system displayed,[this system is the master chef system.]

Yuan Zhou said,I know. Im talking about my cooking skills.

Ill go back and look for it. How can there be reports praising me without me knowing? this is a sign that they dont have a deep understanding of their own cooking skills. While thinking that, Yuan Zhou slowly ran back to the back alley and prepared to end todays morning run.

Although he said he was going to check the news about him in the United States, Yuan Zhou, who had been busy as soon as he entered the restaurant, really didnt have the time for a while.

Apart from opening the restaurant, Yuan Zhou also started to make the wedding banquet menu after receiving the invitation card. It was also a very c.u.mbersome work.

Two days pa.s.sed by in a flash. Soon, it was time for the wedding banquet agreed upon by Ling Hong.

Early in the morning, Yuan Zhou set off for the hotel that Ling Hong had booked. The hotel was very close to the private hospital where Yuan Zhou and Yin ya often went to see ruan Xiaoqing. It took about 10 minutes to walk there.

When Yuan Zhou went there, he first went to pick up Yin ya. It was barely dawn and it was just 4:00 in the morning.

Naturally, it was Yin ya who drove and took Yuan Zhou to the hotel.

At that time, Ling Hong was already there. He was responsible for leading Yuan Zhou and Yin ya to the kitchen and then left in a hurry.

Although it was a little rude, Yuan Zhou and Yin ya didnt mind.

There were actually only three tables in the wedding banquet today. Yuan Zhou only needed to prepare one main table. But in fact, when he heard that there were only three tables, Yuan Zhou told Ling Hong that he would be in charge of the wedding banquet.

Therefore, all the dishes on the three tables were cooked by Yuan Zhou.

As soon as he arrived, Yuan Zhou started to prepare. Apart from the ingredients prepared by the hotel, Yuan Zhou also brought some main ingredients.

Yuan Zhou picked up Yin ya at 4 am and then took her to the hotel. After was.h.i.+ng up, Yuan Zhou started to prepare the ingredients at 5 am.

Even for Yuan Zhou, as he was alone and the banquet prepared this time was a little special, it was already 11 O clock at noon when the banquet was ready.

Of course, Yuan Zhou made breakfast for himself, Yin ya, Ling Hong, ruan Xiaoqing and Wu Hai during the meal.

How could there be no place with food without Wu Hai? Wu Hai directly slept in this hotel last night.

Their purpose was naturally for Yuan Zhous breakfast and lunch, as well as to congratulate Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing on their marriage.

Yuan Zhou was naturally very tired after cooking two meals at the same time with special requirements. Even Yin ya, who had been accompanying him at the side, felt a little heartache.

After Yuan Zhou washed his hands, he untied the ap.r.o.n and handed a hot towel to Yuan Zhou to wipe his face.

Wipe your face, youll feel better. Yin ya said.

Yes. After a nod, Yuan Zhou took it and started to wipe it.

After that, Yin ya took the towel, washed it, and put it away. Only then did Yuan Zhou say,Lets go over. Most of the people should be here already. Ive already arranged for people to serve the dishes.

Alright, Ive gone to see Xiao Qing. Shes very good today and beautiful. Yin ya said.

Thats good. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Dont worry, everything will be fine. Yin ya held Yuan Zhous hand and said softly.

Yes, youre right. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and held Yin yas hand tightly.

Just like that, the two of them held hands and went to the banquet hall reserved by Ling Hong.

Sure enough, most of the people in the banquet hall had arrived.

For example, grandfather Ling and his Secretary, Ling Hongs parents whom he met for the first time, ruan Xiaoqings parents and family, and the familiar customers in the restaurant.

There werent many people, and they could easily fill up three tables.

As soon as Yuan Zhou and Yin ya entered the restaurant, Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing, who were dressed in bright red, came to greet them.

Youve worked hard. Ruan Xiaoqing said gently.

Its nothing, Im just trying to save some money. Yuan Zhou joked primly.

Thats right. Were just trying to get a bargain. Congratulations. Yin ya congratulated him sincerely.

Thank you. Actually, you dont need to pay for the meal between boss Yuan and Xiaoya. Ruan Xiaoqing said with a smile.

Yes, yes, yes. My wife is right. Ling Hong chimed in at the side with a silly smile.

At first, ruan Xiaoqing felt a little embarra.s.sed when she heard Ling Hong addressing her like that. But after hearing it so many times just now, she had become somewhat immune to it. She just rolled her eyes at Ling Hong and then led Yuan Zhou and Yin ya to find a seat.

Yuan Zhou and Yin ya naturally sat in the main seats, which included the family members of Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing, as well as Wu Hai, Jiang Changxi and the others.

Apart from Ling Hongs parents and ruan Xiaoqings parents, whom Yuan Zhou met for the first time, they were all acquaintances. Therefore, it wasnt awkward at all. They all greeted each other with a smile. Then, Yuan Zhou led Yin ya to sit down.

During the process, Yuan Zhou could clearly see that Ling Hongs mother was looking at Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing from time to time with a secret worry. However, Yuan Zhou didnt say much. He just held Yin yas hand tightly.

On the other side, a foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes walked in.

Ruan Xiaoqing and Ling Hong immediately went up to him. Yuan Zhou also knew this man. He was Manion, who often brought his friends here for meals a while ago.

Every time after the meal, Manion would reveal a bright smile to Yuan Zhou and thank him earnestly.

But this time, he brought a gift box and walked into the banquet hall alone.
