Chapter 168: Chapter 167 Long Time No See, I Miss You So Much
Before they arrived, their voices could be heard.
Laughter traveled from the foyer to the living room, and the three people at the bar knew without guessing who it was, all turning their heads to look toward the door.
Soon, a slenderdy wearing tight jeans and a ck leather jacket walked in.

She was carrying a cake box, her waist-length wavy hair tossed back with a flourish as she kicked off her high heels and walked in barefoot.
This beauty with the aura of a mature woman was called Ya Ling. She was the same Zero who had been in correspondence with Lu Mian, managing Lu Mian’s potential affairs.
Her personality was sunny; she loved to y, make noise, never fearing trouble, and could never sit still.
Beneath her wavy locks and delicate makeup, she was actually only 22 years old. Such attire made her look more mature, adding a bit of feminine charm.
Beautiful yet not sleazy, yful without being frivolous.
Ya Ling nced inside, her lips painted with the most trendy emperor red shade, curving even more brightly.
“Everyone is here!”
With that, Ya Ling put the cake on the coffee table, walked over to the bar, kissed Sui Yuan’s cheek, clicked her tongue at Yuren, and finally settled next to Lu Mian.
Sheughed unrestrainedly, leaned her shapely figure closer, draping an arm over Lu Mian’s shoulder and hooked her finger under the young girl’s chin.
“Mian, it’s been so long, I really missed you!”
Sui Yuan covered her mouth and giggled. Here we go again, Zero is starting her “troublemaking” again.
Yuren couldn’t bear to look, focused on chopping vegetables, knife up and down.
Lu Mian had a cold and proud demeanor, not too fond of close contact with others. Such intimate gestures would probably get others kicked away, but for Zero and her few friends, she had immense patience and tolerance.
She didn’t resist Zero’s closeness and even cooperated by letting out a low, domineering “huh.”
Ya Ling beamed with a smile.
Lu Mian exhaled gently, “Do you want me to bite you?”
Ya Ling’s smile stiffened.
She suddenly remembered her earlier bravado, afterpleting a mission on a whim, she had left a burger wrapped in paper with cat drawings for Guo Shuitian.
Lu Mian said, “You did that on purpose.”
She replied, “Then bite me!”
s, the girl hadn’t forgotten!
When it came to makingebacks, she didn’t even spare her own people.
Ya Ling sheepishly smiled and moved even closer to Lu Mian.
“Mian, be gentle, okay?”
Lu Mian softened her features but didn’t take those matters to heart; she naturally leaned in slightly, responding, “Woman, don’t y with fire.”
The maturedy couldn’t hold it any longer and burst outughing, letting go of Lu Mian.
“Mian, you’ve been reading too many romance novels, huh? Remembering all those ssic lines so well.”
“Mhmm.”
“So, what have you figured out from them?”
Lu Mian pursed her lips and answered earnestly, “Still working on it.”
The group shook their heads, sharing a knowing smile.
After theughter, Yuren took a break from chopping vegetables to ask Ya Ling, “Give me the pepper salt you bought.”
Ya Ling raised her eyebrow with a smile, fished out a small bottle from her leather jacket pocket, and tossed it to Yuren.
Yuren caught it with precision. Ya Ling was boisterous, but she was reliable when it came to work.
The group chatted by the bar for a while longer.
Yuren was in charge of cooking, Yuanyuan assisted, and Ya Ling was responsible for keeping the atmosphere lively.
Lu Mian just watched themugh, asionally stealing a cherry tomato or a slice of cucumber. When caught, Yuanyuan would puff her cheeks and pretend to be angry like a little monk, encouraging Lu Mian to be even more brazen with her snacking.
They were like siblings in a family, chatting andughing without any awkwardness, sincere and open.
Though, one person was still missing.
