As she spoke, her gaze subtly flickered toward Yang Qi.
Yang Qi picked up his teacup, pretending to be absorbed in his tea while his other hand stroked the head of Bai Wan, who was lying by his feet.
"Auntie~!"
Cheng Yao's face flushed as she drew out her words in a whiny, defensive tone, a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. "Kai Kai... he's outstanding too!"
"Outstanding in what way?"
Cheng Xiaoou arched an eyebrow, her voice laced with disappointment. "His job was arranged through family connections, and he still needs his family's help to buy a decent car. Other than eating, drinking, partying, and calling up his friends, I've seen no particular ambition or drive in him. Besides a halfway-decent face, what else does he have to offer?"
Her words grew even more blunt. "And even if we're just talking about looks, I don't think he compares to Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang is handsomer in a way that grows on you, and he has more charisma!"
Yang Qi: "..."
He nearly choked on his tea.
