## Chapter 179: How Could I Not Attend My Ex-Girlfriend’s Wedding?
How to trick Qian Xiaomai into attending Cao Kang's wedding was something Ye Chui had been pondering for a while. If they were going to confront Lin Xiangfeng, they had to be fully prepared, and Qian Xiaomai, that annoying character, was essential to bring along. However, as one of the top ten smartest people in the world, Qian Xiaomai wasn't easily fooled.
Thus, Ye Chui had meticulously planned.
…
"This is nice, Sister Fang Nan. If I wear this, I'll definitely be super cute and blow everyone's minds," Wang Shiyu said.
"Xiaoyu, that's a pajama. It's not suitable for such an occasion. You should wear a proper children's formal outfit," Fang Nan replied.
"But I'm just a kid. I'll look cute no matter what I wear."
"That's true, but we want you to look stunning. Besides, there will be a lot of delicious food. If you dress too casually, even if you look adorable, they might ask you to leave."
"I don't want to be asked to leave. Sister Fang Nan, please pick a cute outfit that won't get me kicked out."
While Ye Chui was undergoing his DS test, Wang Shiyu and Fang Nan were whispering to each other, pointing at the holographic screen of Fang Nan's portable computer. It seemed like they were online shopping?
Ye Chui noticed Qian Xiaomai's expression and saw that the annoying guy was already getting intrigued, frequently glancing their way.
Good, he was taking the bait. Time to reel him in.
The test was quickly completed.
"It seems like you've recovered well over the past half-month. Your muscles have regained their vitality. Not bad, not bad. Hehe, it looks like you've done well with abstinence," Fang Nan said with a smile as she helped Ye Chui back into his wheelchair.
Ye Chui's face darkened. "Qian Xiaomai, if you dare to say that abstinence wasn't necessary at all, I will fight you."
"Oh, not at all. Abstinence was definitely necessary. Why would I want to harm you?" Qian Xiaomai replied seriously. Then, he moved over to Wang Shiyu. "Shiyu, what were you talking about? It sounded interesting."
Wang Shiyu quickly covered her mouth with her hands. "I'm not going to tell you about the super luxurious, super fun, and super delicious banquet that's about to be held!"
"A super luxurious, super fun, and super delicious banquet?" Qian Xiaomai's eyes immediately lit up.
"Xiaoyu, what are you talking about?" Ye Chui quickly pulled Wang Shiyu over to him and said seriously to Qian Xiaomai, "What banquet? How can you believe what a child says? It's just a casual dinner party we're having at the studio. Nothing special."
"Really?" Qian Xiaomai looked skeptical.
"Really," Ye Chui nodded.
"Oh…" Qian Xiaomai looked disappointed.
What the heck? He believed that so easily?
Ye Chui was speechless. Either his lying skills were superb, or Qian Xiaomai's emotional intelligence was incredibly low.
Ye Chui coughed and whispered to Wang Shiyu in a voice loud enough for Qian Xiaomai to hear, "How many times have I told you not to let Qian Xiaomai know about this? Why can't you remember?"
Wang Shiyu looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Brother Chui. I was too excited. Just thinking about attending such a banquet makes it hard to hold back."
"Haha, so you were trying to trick me after all!"
Qian Xiaomai clapped his hands and exclaimed, his eyes shining. "There really is a super luxurious, super fun, and super delicious banquet, right? Hmph, you think you can fool me!?"
"Who's trying to fool you? There's really nothing like that!" Ye Chui quickly said, realizing that when lying to Qian Xiaomai, his acting had to be exaggerated; otherwise, it might actually deceive him. Ye Chui's expression was as fake as could be. "It's really just a regular dinner party."
Fang Nan chimed in, "That's right, Xiaomai. You're overthinking it. If there were such a great banquet, how could we forget you?"
"Exactly! Although you're super annoying, super detestable, and super deserving of a beating, how could we forget you if there was something fun?" Wang Shiyu said with her hands on her hips, her face clearly saying, "Yes, we just didn't want to invite you!"
Qian Xiaomai was very unhappy, huffing and puffing, his hands almost crossed over his chest inside his sleeves, glaring angrily at Ye Chui.
He was quite angry.
When Qian Xiaomai got angry, the consequences could be severe.
"Hehe…" Suddenly, Qian Xiaomai looked at Ye Chui with a mischievous smile. "You only have one more injection of the muscle vitality potion left, right? It's the most important one. Whether you can stand up again depends on this one. If there's any problem with the potion, you might never stand up again."
"Damn, that's harsh!" Ye Chui exclaimed.
His acting was as exaggerated as possible.
"No need to be like that, okay?" he argued.
"Hehe, unless you agree to let me attend that super luxurious, super fun, and super delicious banquet, I'll deliberately mess up the calculations," Qian Xiaomai threatened, with an expression that said, "I'm a genius. What can you do about it?"
"You…you…you win!" Ye Chui said, pretending to be furious. He sighed. "Fine, I'll tell you. The day after tomorrow is the wedding banquet of a very important friend of mine, almost like family. I have to attend."
"A wedding banquet for a friend who's almost like family?"
Qian Xiaomai's eyes were already sparkling. He licked his slightly dry lips. "I definitely want to attend this banquet!"
Ye Chui, Fang Nan, and Wang Shiyu all showed a look of delight. They had succeeded.
However…
"Wait a minute!" Qian Xiaomai suddenly said, hands on hips, looking at Ye Chui. "No, you must be trying to trick me!"
"Huh? Am I?" Ye Chui said with a sly smile. Did this annoying guy suddenly figure it out?
"I've thoroughly checked your identity information. I even investigated your blood relatives. Recently, it doesn't seem like anyone is having a wedding," Qian Xiaomai said, staring at Ye Chui.
Damn, are you checking my household registry…
Probably because Ye Chui wanted to take Wang Shiyu in, Qian Xiaomai had been particularly thorough about Ye Chui's background.
Qian Xiaomai pointed a finger at Ye Chui. "Tell me, what are you plotting?"
"What could I be plotting…" Ye Chui's mind raced, thoughts flashing quickly. Then, he suddenly thought of something and said with a righteous expression, "The day after tomorrow is actually the wedding of a very important friend of mine. She's almost like family. I must attend."
"A very important friend?" Qian Xiaomai sneered, as if saying, "You can't fool me."
"It's my ex-girlfriend!" Ye Chui said with a sigh. "My ex-girlfriend is getting married. How could I not attend?"
"What!?"
Qian Xiaomai's emotional intelligence was instantly insufficient. An ex-girlfriend… that did seem quite close.
This kind of relationship couldn't be quantified with formulas. There wasn't any formula that could quantify it. Qian Xiaomai's super-intelligent brain, with an IQ nearing 250, processed for a moment, then concluded like an idiot.
She nodded thoughtfully. "That does make some sense."
What the heck? This actually worked?
Ye Chui, Fang Nan, and Wang Shiyu all exhaled deeply in relief.
Their strategy had finally succeeded.
Next came three hours of potion preparation.
Wang Shiyu was left at the research institute by Qian Xiaomai to solve equations. According to Qian Xiaomai, although she wouldn't be teaching Wang Shiyu new knowledge, the knowledge already learned needed constant review, or it would be forgotten, which would be a pity. Being the frugal person she was, Qian Xiaomai insisted on leaving Wang Shiyu to complete a set of high school math problems.
As for Ye Chui and Fang Nan, they continued to play in the surrounding green belt.
This place held many memories for the two of them. Every visit witnessed a significant development in their relationship.
Their first wild kiss.
The first time they almost…
Thinking that they might not be able to come here again made them a bit sentimental.
Ye Chui also looked around. Lin Xiangfeng should know that he was coming for his final injection today, right?
Ye Chui wanted to confront him and scold him, but it seemed impossible. Lin Xiangfeng hadn't shown up in the past three hours.
Then Ye Chui thought of the videos Eva had found this morning, a whole series of explicit content. Even with Ye Chui's extensive experience, it was a bit overwhelming. Robert had gone to sulk in a corner…
Given the explicit nature of the videos, Ye Chui didn't let Fang Xi, Fang Nan, and the others see them, fearing they'd have nightmares.
But speaking of which, what was up with Fang Xi's resentful look this morning?
Three hours quickly passed, and Ye Chui and Fang Nan returned to the lab.
Qian Xiaomai had already prepared the final injection
.
Although she had joked about messing up the calculations, Qian Xiaomai was very serious about her work. Mistakes in data were never an issue for her. Ye Chui trusted her professional integrity.
But before the injection, the annoying character suddenly said, "Can I make one more request regarding attending the banquet?"
"A request? What request?" Ye Chui asked, eyes wide. What was she up to now?
"Can I bring a few more people to your ex-girlfriend's wedding banquet?" Qian Xiaomai continued.
"Bring more people? How many?" Ye Chui squinted.
Qian Xiaomai grinned and said, "Three hundred and forty-two people."
Ye Chui: "…No problem."
