My mouth is watering

But the arrivals this time weren't girls, but two handsome guys.

It was none other than Meng Wenzhou and Zhang Ziming.

The two had run into each other outside Lianwu Lake and drove in together.

Knowing there would be many beautiful women today, they had both dressed up meticulously before strolling over at a leisurely pace.

Meng Wenzhou wore a pair of sunglasses on his face and a platinum pendant around his neck. He was wearing a Gucci white printed short-sleeved sports shirt, having deliberately left the chest buttons undone to reveal a faint hint of his pectoral muscles, though they weren't particularly pronounced.

For his lower half, he wore light blue denim shorts, and on his feet were a pair of white Louis Vuitton sneakers. He also sported a Richard Mille watch on his wrist.

His overall outfit was very clean and refreshing, giving off a casual, sporty, and stylish vibe.

Zhang Ziming's style was completely different from Meng Wenzhou's.

He wore a gray baseball cap backward on his head, a thin black BV suit jacket over a white T-shirt, and brown casual wide-leg pants. With black Dior sneakers on his feet, his overall look was more mature, though it probably felt a bit hot...

Su Yang, Liu Bo, and Ji Bo, who were sitting on the terrace smoking, saw the two. Liu Bo smiled and shook his head, saying, "Well, well, well, look at these two. Don't tell me they even put on makeup?"

"Very possible. Since when is Old Zhang usually this pale?" Ji Bo laughed.

"What bad things are you three secretly saying about us?" Meng Wenzhou also spotted the trio on the terrace.

"No, no, no, we didn't say anything."

"Not bad, Old Su. You've fixed up this courtyard pretty well," Meng Wenzhou said, looking up.

"Right? From now on, this will be our backyard. Whenever we get physically and mentally exhausted in the city, we can come to this picturesque place for a little gathering."

"Not bad at all, Yangyang. You really know how to pick a spot. The environment here is genuinely nice. Open the window and there's the lake—a proper lakeview mansion."

"Haha, mansion or not, it's just a small courtyard. But speaking of which, aren't you hot?"

"It is a bit hot, but my outfit isn't bad, right?" Zhang Ziming winked and smiled.

"It works, it works, very handsome. Hurry up and come in, the door is on the left."

"Alright. By the way, is Yixue inside?" Zhang Ziming bent down to peer through the window.

"Didn't you say you weren't afraid of it being awkward? Panicking now?"

"I said that, but now that I'm actually here, I feel it's still going to be at least a little bit awkward."

"What are you afraid of? Hurry up and come in for a smoke."

"Alright." Zhang Ziming stopped agonizing over it and followed Meng Wenzhou through the front door.

After the two came in, they first greeted a few old acquaintances. When Zhang Ziming saw Shen Yixue, he scratched his head, nodded, and smiled, "H-hello."

Shen Yixue just rolled her eyes at him. "What's with the 'hello'? We're friends from now on."

"Haha, okay!"

Meng Wenzhou then looked at Xia Li, who was sitting in a beanbag chair. He pulled down his sunglasses, took a careful look, and laughed, "Oh ho? President Xia is here too?"

"President Meng, please don't embarrass me. I wouldn't dare call myself a president in front of you."

"Haha, you're too polite. But I think I'll still call you Sister Xia, it sounds more intimate."

"Sure, I'm probably the oldest one here today anyway, so you can all call me Sister."

"Alrighty then. But I honestly didn't expect you to be here."

Su Yang laughed and said, "She's the general manager of my company now, so of course I had to invite her."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"I remember I must have told you about that, right?"

"I don't recall, but that's great. You should be secretly thrilled to have Sister Xia helping you run the company."

"Of course, my Sister Xia is pretty badass at managing a company."

"Can you two stop kissing my ass?" Xia Li rolled her eyes at them and laughed.

"Alright, alright. Hey, who are these two?" Meng Wenzhou turned his head to look at Song Anquan and Wang Xiaoyan sitting on the sofa.

Su Yang was the first to speak. "This is my good brother who I grew up with, Song Anquan. Just call him Anquan. And this beauty is his wife, Wang Xiaoyan. Just call her Xiaoyan."

"Oh? Your childhood friend?"

"That's right."

"Then I definitely need to get to know them properly." Saying that, Meng Wenzhou walked over to Song Anquan and Wang Xiaoyan.

Seeing this, the two stood up.

"Please, sit down. What are you standing up for?"

"Just trying to be a bit polite," Song Anquan grinned.

"Haha, okay. Let's officially get acquainted. My name is Meng Wenzhou, and Su Yang and I are... how should I put it, life-and-death brothers. Even though we haven't known each other for that long, our relationship is very good. You're his childhood friend, so from now on, you're my brother too."

Meng Wenzhou said this very sincerely and extended his hand.

Song Anquan hurriedly reached out to shake Meng Wenzhou's hand. He had heard Su Yang mention before that this guy was a top-tier second-generation rich kid.

So he was a little nervous at first, afraid the other party would be hard to talk to. But he didn't expect this guy to be so polite and easygoing.

"I've heard Brother Yang mention you. You should be a bit older than me, so I'll call you Brother Meng from now on."

"Haha, great! No problem. Although today is our first time meeting, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. We have a long road ahead of us."

"Alright, Brother Meng."

Meng Wenzhou smiled and looked at Wang Xiaoyan. He shook her hand as well and complimented her a few times on how pretty she was, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

At this time, Zhang Ziming also walked over and introduced himself to the two.

The living room of Su Yang's courtyard was quite large. Even though many people had come, it didn't feel crowded.

Everyone chatted with each other, ate fruit, and drank coffee.

It was already 2:30 in the afternoon, but there were still ten people who hadn't arrived, and all ten of them were girls.

The guys had all arrived; anyway, it was always the same few guys back and forth.

At this point, Liu Bo walked up to Su Yang and laughed, "Brother Yang, didn't you invite a bunch of girls too? Where are they?"

"Probably on their way."

"They aren't going to bail, are they?"

"How could they? If they weren't coming, they definitely would have let me know in advance. So far, no one has said they aren't coming."

"That's good, that's good. How many people are we still waiting for?"

"Let me think. There are a few you guys know, like Little Lu, Zhong Qing, and Han Xiaoyu, as well as Ren Lingxi, who went to play the escape room with us back in Licheng."

"What? That fairy-like girl is coming too?" Liu Bo's voice was a bit loud, and the people sitting around all heard it and turned to look at him.

Shen Yixue laughed, "Fatty, what are you doing being so dramatic?"

"Uh... nothing, nothing."

"What fairy-like girl?" Ji Bo walked over full of curiosity and asked.

"Oh man, how can you be so forgetful? Licheng, that Ren Lingxi."

"Oh, oh, how could I forget! She's coming?"

"She's coming," Liu Bo laughed.

"Damn, nice, nice. That girl is probably the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life."

Shen Yixue came over to eavesdrop. She leaned in among the guys and smiled, "Is this the fairy you guys are always talking about?"

"Yeah, super beautiful," Ji Bo said, revealing a lovestruck expression.

Liu Bo then turned to Su Yang and asked, "Besides the four we already know, how many more are coming?"

Su Yang tilted his head back, looking at the ceiling as he counted. "Besides those four, there are... one, two, five, six... six more."

"Holy crap?? You mean we're going to have a total of ten gorgeous girls showing up later?" Liu Bo exclaimed in shock.

"Yeah, exactly." Su Yang nodded.

"Wow!! Today's party is going to be absolutely epic!! Six beautiful girls I haven't even met yet, I'm so curious!!"

Just then, Meng Wenzhou walked over from the terrace with a coffee in hand and patted Liu Bo on the shoulder. "Could you mind your image a little, man? What on earth are you guys talking about? You're practically drooling."

"Oh, am I?" Hearing this, Liu Bo quickly reached up to wipe the corner of his mouth and leaned in closer to Meng Wenzhou.

"Meng, did you hear?"

"Hear what?" Meng Wenzhou asked, looking confused.

"Yang just said that ten top-tier beauties are coming over later."

"Ten... how many??"
