Chapter 514: Love is intertwined and love is complicated

Ma Yili smiled and joked, "No, no, no, you are my boss. I am flattered that the boss personally cooks for the employees."

Han Zaiyin agreed with a smile: "Lin Lang, you are the newly crowned double fighting champion. You just returned from the Sakura Country with honors. You must be exhausted from the journey. It would be embarrassing to ask you to cook for Ma Yili and me personally!"

Han Zaiyin's tone was gentle, but with a barely perceptible hint of teasing. Her eyes darted back and forth over Lin Lang, as if she was examining something.

Ma Yili's two small canine teeth were looming, and she squinted her eyes and smiled falsely, saying, "That's right, Mr. Lin, you'd better not busy yourself in the kitchen."

"The main reason we came to Zhou's house as a guest is that we haven't seen Mengyao for a long time and we missed her so much."

Ma Yili's answer seemed casual, but in fact there was a special light flashing in her eyes. She deliberately echoed with her best friend Han Zaiyin, teasing Lin Lang like they were performing a crosstalk.

Zhuang Jingxue asked curiously, "As far as I know, Miss Ma is a film and television actress. How come she works in Alang's company?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "Our Maitian Music Company has begun to dabble in film and television investment. We are cooperating with Tangren Film and Television to produce film and television dramas. Ma Yili is now a contracted artist of Maitian Music."

"I see." Zhuang Jingxue's lips curled up slightly, her eyes full of a gentle smile, but she was actually very wary.

Zhou Zhongdang said, "Since Alang wants to show off his cooking skills today and treat you two well, you should not refuse."

"Alang doesn't have many opportunities to cook on weekdays, but when he's in charge, the food he cooks tastes really good. I'm sure it will suit your taste."

Han Zaiyin said, "After hearing what Uncle Zhou said, Ma Yili and I are lucky to have a good meal today. Then we won't stop the handsome boy from Linda from cooking."

Ding! The universal entry system prompts: "Ma Yili and Han Zaiyin are just visiting Zhou's house and taking the opportunity to contact the host in the name of reminiscing about the past with Zhou Mengyao. They will not cause trouble to embarrass the host."

After receiving the system prompt, Lin Lang felt reassured.

Next, we saw Zhou Mengyao, a beautiful woman with fair skin and long legs. She was wearing a white gauze dress that was whiter than snow, which made her skin look even whiter. Her figure was graceful and charming. She walked down the spiral staircase like a beautiful fairy.

"Zaiyin, Ma Yili, you are here!"

There is an unconcealable agility and brightness between Zhou Mengyao's eyebrows and her whole body exudes a fresh and refined temperament. Her voice is crisp and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, and her face is filled with a warm and friendly smile, which is both healing and charming.

Ma Yili and Han Zaiyin glanced sideways when they heard the voice. The two best friends smiled and waved at Zhou Mengyao, their eyes full of joy at seeing a classmate.

Ma Yili raised her lips and said jokingly, "Our school beauty can be as beautiful as a fairy in a simple white dress. The stairs in this house are almost like your catwalk!"

Han Zaiyin also nodded in agreement and joked, "That's right, Mengyao, you've been so stunning every time you appear since high school!"

Zhou Mengyao walked forward with a smile, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. You and Ma Yili are rare guests in Yin."

Zhou Zhongdang stood up and said, "Daughter, please entertain your classmates. Your mother and I will be leaving now. You young people can chat."

Zhuang Jingxue stood up with a smile, gestured slightly, and went back to the room with Zhou Zhongdang.

At the same time, the servants of Zhou's house brought freshly cut fruit platters and dried fruit snacks to the tea table for guests.

Zhou Mengyao sat on the main reception sofa, peeled an African arrowroot and handed it to her female classmate Ma Yili.

"Come, Ma Yili, the sweet girl from our class, try the sweetest fruit in the world, the African arrowroot, and see who is sweeter, you or the arrowroot?"

Ma Yili took a small African arrowroot from Zhou Mengyao's hand, and seeing the black flesh inside, she said weakly, "Mengyao, the fruits in your family are all so high-quality. I've never heard of this kind of African arrowroot you're talking about!"

Zhou Mengyao smiled and replied, "It's not sold on the market. The arrowroots in Zhou's house are airlifted from Africa to the sea. When I'm in a bad mood, I'll eat one. It will make my mouth sweet for half an hour!"

While Zhou Mengyao was speaking, she peeled an African arrowroot for Han Zaiyin.

Ma Yili looked at the African arrowroot curiously and said doubtfully, "Is this true? Is there any fruit in this world that can make your mouth sweet for half an hour if you eat one?"

Han Zaiyin took the African arrowroot and frowned slightly and said, "Ma Yili, African arrowroot is thaumatin, which is about 3000 times sweeter than sucrose. One bite will really keep your mouth sweet for half an hour."

Ma Yili jokingly said, "Well, if I take a bite, I won't get diabetes, right?"

Lin Lang smiled and replied: "The fruit of the African arrowroot is a protein with a strong sweet taste, not a sugar substance. Diabetics can eat it without affecting the sugar value."

Ma Yili couldn't help but eat the flesh of the African arrowroot out of curiosity. When her teeth lightly touched the plump fruit of the African arrowroot, the sweet juice instantly burst out in her mouth, and a strong and pure sweetness quickly spread in Ma Yili's mouth.

The extremely sweet taste does not feel greasy, but instead has a unique fresh scent of fruit.

The flesh is delicate and soft, melting in the mouth. Every time Ma Yili chews it, it feels like she is tasting the essence of sweetness.

After swallowing the fruit pulp, the sweet aftertaste still lingered on Ma Yili's tongue for a long time, as if strands of sweetness were constantly teasing her taste buds, making Ma Yili immersed in this unique and wonderful taste experience.

It is no exaggeration to say that after eating an African arrowroot, Ma Yili felt that her whole body was enveloped by the sweet taste, and her heart and lungs were filled with joy.

Even because her mouth tasted sweet, every breath Ma Yili took was sweet.

Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly and asked, "How about it, Ma Yili, are you sweeter or is the African arrowroot sweeter?"

Ma Yili joked with an exaggerated expression: "No wonder Mengyao has been so sweet since she was a child. It turns out that you grew up eating the sweetest fruit in the world. The life of a rich fourth-generation daughter of a famous family in Haihai is really enviable!"

"For a girl like me who grew up in an ordinary working-class family, this is the first time I've eaten African arrowroot in my life. Poverty really limits my imagination!"

Ma Yili took a sip of tea with self-mockery, the sweetness in her mouth remained unchanged, still with a sweet fruity aroma.

After hearing this, Zhou Mengyao said, "Hey, Ma Yili, don't say that. You are an actress in the rising stage of your career. It won't be long before you become a first-generation rich!"

Lin Lang said with some distress: "Yes, Ma Yili."

"The film "July and Ansheng" co-produced by Maitian Music and Tangren Films will have its opening ceremony next week. This is your big screen debut. If you play the role of Ansheng well, you will become famous and wealthy."

Ma Yili exclaimed after hearing this: "Can the filming of "July and Ansheng" start so soon?"

Lin Lang replied: "Tangren Films' president Cai Yinong will be the producer himself, so the filming progress will naturally be very fast."

"It's great, great!"

Ma Yili smiled sweetly and clapped her hands. She was so excited that she couldn't hide her happiness because it was the first time she played the leading role.

Zhou Mengyao smiled and joked: "Lin Lang, you support Ma Yili as the heroine, but you don't give me a small cameo role to play, so that I can satisfy my craving for making movies?"

Without waiting for Lin Lang to answer, Han Zaiyin jokingly said, "Mengyao, stop joking. A big school beauty like you making a cameo appearance in a movie will steal the limelight from the lead actress Ma Yili, won't you?"

After hearing this, Ma Yili said sadly: "Mengyao, please leave me a way out! I am counting on the movie "July and Ansheng" to rise in the film and television industry!"

Zhou Mengyao covered her mouth and laughed: "I was just joking to tease Lin Lang, look how scared you are, Ma Yili."

Ma Yili squinted her eyes and smiled, self-deprecatingly saying, "I just rely on acting in movies to satisfy my addiction to being a heroine. Mengyao, you are a heroine born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You have everything when you are born. It seems that reincarnation is really a technical job!"

Han Jae-in smiled and joked, "Yes! They say all roads lead to Rome. Our campus beauty Zhou was born in Rome."

Zhou Mengyao teased, "Zaiyin, it's as if you weren't born in Rome. Your grandfather is a master of Chinese painting, and you grew up in a Republic of China-style military villa. Aren't you also a rich girl born with a silver spoon in your mouth?"

Han Zaiyin sighed after hearing this, and said inexplicably sadly, "It's true that I have a good grandfather, but my father is not very good."

"After my father and mother passed away, I was left with only the empty title of the eldest daughter of the Han family. How can I compare with you, Mengyao, who has the connections and protection of your father's funeral hall?"

Lin Lang half-jokingly said, "Zaiyin! In your network of contacts, having a high school classmate like me is worth a thousand troops."

Han Zaiyin could naturally hear that Lin Lang was telling her in a joking tone that it was enough to have Lin Lang protecting her in this life and she didn't need any other crappy connections.

So, Han Zaiyin handed the African arrowroot in her hand to Lin Lang, and said with deep love: "Lin Lang, please eat this African arrowroot that is sweeter than my first love for me. I don't like to eat overly sweet fruits."

"I have loved sweet things since I was a child, so let me help you." Lin Lang took the African arrowroot from Han Zaiyin's hand, but did not eat it in front of Zhou Mengyao.

"You three beauties, while you chat, I will cook a few of my signature dishes for you."

After Lin Lang finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the kitchen. With his back to Zhou Mengyao, he ate the flesh of the African arrowroot. His taste buds felt the sweetness of Han Zaiyin.

Zhou Mengyao, Han Zaiyin, and Ma Yili, three beautiful classmates, all looked at the tall and handsome back of their classmate Lin Lang.

They each have their own little thoughts.

At the same time, they all have their own little secrets in their hearts, but the same thing is that they all love Lin Lang deeply and cannot extricate themselves.
