Chapter 041: Sister-in-law is the Best in the World!
“Hi, Sister-in-law!”
Wen Lang and Jiang Cong popped their heads out from behind Ye Chiyu, smiling with exaggerated obedience.
“Hello.”
Su Tang peeked out from the Alpha’s embrace, his eyes bright and lively. His voice was soft, sweet, and incredibly gentle.
“Don’t just stand in the doorway, come on in.”
He tugged shyly at Ye Chiyu’s sleeve, offering a polite smile to the guests who were still lingering at the entrance. He then pulled the Alpha back a step to give them room to change their shoes.
“Sister-in-law, I’m Wen Lang’s childhood friend. My name is Jiang Cong!”
Jiang Cong, who had been dying to greet Su Tang properly, bowed slightly and carefully handed over the gift bag he was holding. Just seeing Su Tang standing there, Jiang Cong was already mentally slotting him into the beautiful visuals for his upcoming Moonlight ad campaign. He exchanged a satisfied glance with Wen Lang.
“I only found out today that you and Brother Yu got married. Since this is my first visit, please accept this small pre-wedding gift. I hope you don’t mind it, Sister-in-law.”
Su Tang hesitated, wondering if he should accept it. Just as he looked up to ask for Ye Chiyu’s opinion, the Alpha had already taken the bag.
Ye Chiyu glanced at Jiang Cong, weighed the item in his hand, and spoke indifferently, “Did your Ziyuan pick this out, or did you?”
He had watched Jiang Cong and Wen Lang grow up. This guy’s taste in gifts had always been terrible. Since the gift was for his Tangtang, he had to double-check.
As soon as Ye Chiyu asked, Wen Lang burst into unbridled laughter beside them. Jiang Cong mercilessly slapped Wen Lang on the back before quickly switching back to a docile smile.
“How could I dare, Brother Yu? My Yuan-yuan picked this out personally. Don’t worry!”
Back in the day, Jiang Cong was known as the little tyrant of S City. He wasn’t afraid of his two fathers at all, but he had been terrified of Ye Chiyu since childhood. The moment he saw him, he became obedient. Even now that he had a family and a career, he still acted cowardly in front of Ye Chiyu.
“Accept it, then. Jiang Cong’s partner always has good taste.” Ye Chiyu glanced at the little guy whose hands were clasped nervously in front of him and smiled softly.
“Thank you, Jiang Cong~” Su Tang obediently took the gift bag that Mr. Ye placed in his hands.
Ye Chiyu then introduced Tao Cheng and Huang Qimi as the General Manager and Vice President of Lingyu. Su Tang introduced himself politely, apologising for potentially troubling them. His courtesy made Tao Cheng and Huang Qimi feel overwhelmed by the gracious treatment from the CEO’s wife.
Remembering the table full of food that was already prepared, Su Tang quickly tugged on the Alpha’s sleeve, signaling him to invite everyone to wash their hands and eat.
It was Wen Lang’s first time at Jiang Ting. After responding to the invitation, he dragged Jiang Cong along to tour the new home his brother had set up specifically for his sister-in-law.
Seeing various world-class collectibles casually placed in the living room as mere decorations, Wen Lang couldn’t handle it. He kept his head down, muttering to Jiang Cong the whole way, complaining that if his brother gave him even one-tenth of the spoiling he gave his sister-in-law, his status at home wouldn’t be so low.
Glancing at Tao Cheng and Huang Qimi, who were standing stiffly at the door with hands full of gifts, not knowing what to do, Ye Chiyu simply told them to put the things in the living room.
“This is a private gathering at home, not the company. You don’t need to be so nervous.”
Tao and Huang, whose brains were still reeling from the shock that Su Tang was actually Ye Chiyu’s spouse, quickly agreed. After putting down their gifts, they nervously took their seats in the dining room at Su Tang’s invitation.
The table was filled with dishes that looked, smelled, and undoubtedly tasted delicious. The plating of each dish was exquisite, showing that a lot of thought had gone into it.
In the center sat a small pot on a portable stove, keeping warm a milky-white fish soup that Su Tang had patiently simmered all afternoon. The moment the lid was lifted, a fragrant aroma filled the air, instantly awakening stomachs tired from a long day at work.
Su Tang volunteered to serve the soup. As soon as he filled a bowl, Ye Chiyu naturally took it from his hand and passed it to everyone at the table, one by one.
Except for Su Tang, everyone else stared at the fish soup Ye Chiyu had personally handed them for several seconds.
Good heavens, soup made by the sister-in-law and handed over by Brother Yu personally! Jiang Cong suddenly felt he could brag about this to his friends for the rest of his life.
Aside from him, who else among his friends in S City had the privilege of being served soup by the President of the Ye Group?
“Please, make yourselves at home. Don’t stand on ceremony. You must be tired after working all day, so eat up.”
“Wow~ Sister-in-law, did you make all these dishes?”
Wen Lang’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the large spread.
Su Tang nodded. He lowered his head to taste the fish soup—the flavor was just right. He replied, “I haven’t cooked a proper meal in a long time, so I don’t know if it suits your tastes.”
Wen Lang reacted instantly, laughing happily. “Haha, don’t worry! Anything Sister-in-law makes is delicious!”
With a live wire like Wen Lang regulating the atmosphere, Su Tang’s initial nervousness gradually faded. Happily, he put a lot of food into the Alpha’s bowl.
Seeing the little guy happy, the tenderness in Ye Chiyu’s eyes poured out uncontrollably onto Su Tang, softening his usually cold temperament.
Su Tang ate all the food Mr. Ye put in his bowl, holding his bowl and eating even more than usual. In his heart, he secretly praised himself: Chef Su, you are amazing~
Tao Cheng and Huang Qimi watched the CEO and his wife spreading dog food [PDA] and silently raised their wine glasses to clink them with a smile.
They lacked a certain romance in their bones, but having met the person they liked, they had chosen without hesitation to spend the rest of their lives together.
After a pleasant meal, Wen Lang and Jiang Cong volunteered to clear the table and load the dishwasher. Su Tang, having eaten too much, sat in his chair, not wanting to move.
Mr. Ye went to the living room to discuss other matters with Tao Cheng and the others first. Su Tang leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the little fish he had bought.
A gentle “Tangtang” rang out. Su Tang automatically stood up from his seat in the dining room. Seeing Mr. Ye waving at him, he walked over and sat obediently beside the Alpha.
“Be a good boy, drink some tea.”
A cup of steaming tea was placed in Su Tang’s hands to help the overstuffed little guy digest.
Su Tang smiled quietly, said okay, and took the cup, sipping it in small mouthfuls. The greasy feeling from eating too much was immediately suppressed.
“How is the agent selection going?”
Hearing this, Huang Qimi immediately handed the prepared documents to Ye Chiyu. “These are the top agents at Lingyu. Please take a look, President Ye.”
“Mn.”
Ye Chiyu looked through the documents seriously. Su Tang, holding his tea, tilted his head, wanting to look too. Ye Chiyu angled the documents toward him.
“President Ye, may I ask the Madam some questions?”
Tao Cheng looked at Ye Chiyu and received a nod.
Really not used to being called “Madam,” Su Tang waved his hand and said quickly, “Director Tao, you don’t need to call me Madam. Just call me Su Tang.”
“Alright,” Tao Cheng pushed up his glasses and asked seriously.
“I wanted to ask, Su Tang, do you want to pursue an acting path or an idol path in the future?”
Fearing Su Tang might not understand, he added, “It’s like this: your appearance is exceptional. Whether you choose to be a serious actor or an idol, Lingyu is confident we can build you into a top-tier star. Depending on your choice, we can find the most suitable agent for you.”
The agents he had selected for Ye Chiyu’s review all specialized in different fields. Su Tang’s choice would allow him to pinpoint the most suitable one directly.
Su Tang lowered his head, rubbing his chin in deep thought. The steam from the tea misted his slightly flushed face, dampening his long, curled eyelashes. Ye Chiyu couldn’t help but reach out to gently brush the tips of the little guy’s lashes, completely disregarding the presence of others.
His eyelids tickled by the Alpha, Su Tang smiled and dodged, casting a coquettish glance at his Alpha. Ye Chiyu stopped immediately.
Tao Cheng was still waiting for an answer. Su Tang looked up, stared at him earnestly, and spoke solemnly, “Director Tao, I want to focus on acting.”
Acting was what he loved; he had his own pursuit of the craft.
Besides, being an idol in this day and age…
Su Tang glanced at the Alpha staring at him beside him and continued with a smile, “Besides, as a married person, it’s not appropriate for me to be an idol.”
His words made everyone in the room laugh. Wen Lang and Jiang Cong, wiping their hands as they came out of the kitchen, laughed the loudest. Tao Cheng and Huang Qimi immediately felt a strong fondness for the young Omega in front of them.
Ye Chiyu’s eyes held a smile. In a place unseen by everyone else, his large, warm hand stroked Su Tang’s slender waist and slid down to pinch the soft flesh of his buttocks. The bold move made Su Tang’s ears turn red instantly.
“There is an agent named Jiang Cha. I think he would be very suitable for you,” Tao Cheng said confidently with a smile. “He is the most capable person in our company for handling actors, and he’s young, so there should be fewer generational gaps in your communication.”
Considering the age gap was part of his criteria for selecting an agent showed that his preparation was indeed thorough.
Ye Chiyu looked at Jiang Cha’s file and was quite satisfied. After asking for Su Tang’s opinion, the group began to discuss the signing contract seriously.
There were many details to finalize in the contract, and their conversation moved from the living room to the study. About an hour later, a perfect contract came fresh out of the printer. Under the Alpha’s encouraging gaze, Su Tang solemnly signed his name.
Wen Lang and Jiang Cong, who had been waiting and playing games for over an hour, saw them finally emerge. After seeing Tao Cheng and the others off, they grabbed Su Tang’s hand right in front of Ye Chiyu, refusing to let go, smiling with sycophantic grins.
“Sister-in-law~”
“Sister-in-law!”
“Huh? What’s wrong with you two?”
Su Tang looked at the fawning Wen Lang and Jiang Cong in confusion. Ye Chiyu, his face dark, slapped Wen Lang’s hand away from his Tangtang and kicked Jiang Cong, who was watching the drama from the side.
“If you have business, speak.”
Don’t touch my Tangtang.
Wen Lang chuckled, pulled out a pre-prepared contract, and presented it to Su Tang and Ye Chiyu with both hands as if offering an imperial edict.
“Sister-in-law, be our spokesperson~ Please, please~ Sister-in-law is the best in the world~!”
Translator’s Note: Ah, Wen Lang never misses a chance to hustle, does he? Also, the term “Sister-in-law” (嫂子/Sao-zi) is used affectionately here by Wen Lang and Jiang Cong for Su Tang, despite Su Tang being male. In the Omegaverse (ABO) setting, this is a common way for the Alpha’s friends to address the Omega partner, denoting respect and position within the “family” dynamic. Enjoy the fluff!
