99: Chapter 100 Dinner for Three

Tang Guo... had really gone to the house.

That silly girl Tianxue, she was too soft-hearted after all, unable to withstand Tang Guo's pestering, and had brought her home.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a bit restless, but... more than that, it was a secret anticipation—one he couldn't even explain himself—and... excitement?

He had to admit, Tang Guo was a very charming woman.

Whether it was her appearance, figure, temperament, or that bold, passionate, and slightly wild personality, it was enough to make any man's heart race.

And... in some aspects, she was even more... uninhibited than Tianxue, bolder, and knew better how to pluck at a man's heartstrings.

That night of debauchery, although most of the memories were blurry, certain fragments were branded deeply into his mind.

Tang Guo's bold and passionate response, those eyes filled with temptation and teasing, that style—so different from Tianxue's, more proactive and wild... all made his body heat up and his heart race.

He shook his head, trying to chase those chaotic thoughts out of his mind.

Tianxue was the person he loved most; he could not... should not have inappropriate thoughts about other women.

But... what if deep down, Tianxue really did harbor anticipation for that kind of forbidden relationship, and even... didn't mind sharing him with Tang Guo...

As soon as this thought emerged, he felt a wave of heat rush to his lower abdomen, and his body instantly reacted.

He tugged at his tie in agitation, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

Let nature take its course, he told himself.

If Tianxue truly accepted it, if Tang Guo really behaved herself and acted only as Tianxue's "helper" and "sister," occasionally joining their lives... perhaps... it wasn't completely unacceptable.

After all, Tianxue's body... indeed needed more "rest."

And he... as a normal, energetic man, was indeed a bit... insatiable.

If Tang Guo's presence could make Tianxue more relaxed and happy, while at the same time... satisfying some of the hidden, dark desires deep within his heart...

His eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful arc, tinged with a bit of self-mockery and amusement.

Yu Bo, oh Yu Bo, when did you... become such a... beast?

It wasn't until night fell and the city lights began to twinkle that Yu Bo drove back to the High-end Residential Area.

After parking, he stood by his car, looked up at the lit window, and a complex, indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

Inside were the woman he loved deeply, and... a "Best Friend" who was eyeing him like a predator with unclear intentions.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, restored his usual calm and composure, and stepped into the elevator.

The elevator went straight to the top floor.

He took out his key, opened the door, and the aroma of food mixed with the faint scent of red wine rushed to meet him.

"You're back?"

A gentle, familiar voice called out.

Yu Bo looked up to see Yin Tianxue wearing an apron, carrying two plates of food as she walked out of the kitchen.

Her face held a gentle smile, but her eyes flickered with a trace of imperceptible panic and guilt.

Behind her, Tang Guo also walked out carrying a plate, similarly wearing an apron.

A bright, radiant smile hung on her face, and her eyes landed on him boldly and directly, filled with undisguised appreciation and... a trace of imperceptible provocation.

"CEO Yu, you're back just in time. The food is freshly made; eat while it's hot."

Tang Guo greeted him with a smile, her tone natural and casual, as if she were one of the mistresses of the house.

Yu Bo's gaze swept over both of them, finally landing on Yin Tianxue.

His eyes were gentle and doting, as if he hadn't noticed Tang Guo's existence at all.

He walked over, naturally took the plate from Yin Tianxue's hands, lowered his head to kiss her lips lightly, and said in a low, magnetic voice, "You've worked hard, wifey."

He deliberately emphasized the word "wifey," as if declaring his sovereignty, or perhaps warning someone.

Yin Tianxue's face turned bright red in an instant.

She shyly pushed him away, glared at him with mock annoyance, and whispered, "Guoguo is still here... stop fooling around."

Watching their intimate interaction, the smile on Tang Guo's face stiffened for a moment, and her eyes darkened, but she quickly returned to normal, smiling and teasing, "Oh my, I didn't see anything. You two continue, please. Just pretend I'm not here."

Her tone was light and teasing, but the flash of loss and jealousy in the depths of her eyes did not escape Yu Bo's notice.

Yu Bo sneered internally, but kept his expression calm.

He put his arm around Yin Tianxue's waist and walked to the dining table, his tone gentle, "What delicious things did you make? It smells so good."

"It's just some home-cooked food. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Yin Tianxue said softly, blushing.

"It was mostly made by Guoguo; I... I just helped out."

"Oh? Miss Tang knows how to cook?"

Yu Bo raised an eyebrow and looked at Tang Guo, his tone carrying a touch of polite surprise.

"That is truly surprising."

Tang Guo placed the last dish on the table, took off her apron, elegantly brushed back her hair, and cast a charming glance at Yu Bo.

Her tone carried a touch of pride and coquettishness, "CEO Yu, the way you say that, it's as if I'm some young lady who has never lifted a finger. When I was studying abroad, I honed quite a good culinary skill. Let me show off a little today and let CEO Yu have a taste."

Her words had a double meaning, and her eyes were bold and provocative, carrying undisguised hints.

Yu Bo's eyes darkened.

He didn't respond, but simply pulled out a chair for Yin Tianxue to sit, then sat down beside her, his movements natural and intimate, silently declaring his ownership.

Watching how attentive Yu Bo was to Yin Tianxue, Tang Guo felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, but she kept a polite smile on her face and sat down opposite them.

Exquisite dishes were already laid out on the dining table, along with a bottle of red wine that had been decanted.

The atmosphere... was somewhat subtle.

"Come, CEO Yu, Tianxue, try this red wine."

Tang Guo picked up the bottle and poured wine into all three glasses, her movements elegant and practiced.

"This is a vintage I brought back from France; the taste is excellent."

"Thanks."

Yu Bo thanked her indifferently, but didn't touch his glass.

Instead, he picked up some food with his chopsticks, placed it into Yin Tianxue's bowl, and said in a gentle tone, "Try this, it's your favorite."

Yin Tianxue felt a warmth in her heart, smiled sweetly, and took a bite.

Her eyes lit up.

"Mmm! Delicious! Guoguo, your cooking is amazing!"

"I'm glad you like it."

Tang Guo smiled, but her gaze drifted toward Yu Bo as if by chance.

"CEO Yu, why don't you try it too? See if it suits your taste."

Under her gaze, Yu Bo unhurriedly picked up a piece of fish, put it into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then nodded, his tone flat.

"Not bad. Miss Tang has good skills."

His evaluation was polite and distant, revealing no emotion.

Tang Guo felt a bit disappointed, but she still kept a smile on her face.

"As long as CEO Yu likes it. Come, to celebrate the smooth launch of the 'Yin Angel' project, and also for... the fate that brought the three of us together, cheers!"

She raised her glass, her eyes darting between Yu Bo and Yin Tianxue, filled with hidden meaning.

Yin Tianxue's heart skipped a beat.

She glanced at Yu Bo with some panic, and seeing his expression was normal, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, raised her glass, and said softly, "Thanks, Guoguo."

Yu Bo also raised his glass, swept a calm gaze over Tang Guo, and said in a flat tone, "Cheers."

The meal was... rather strange.
