The sun shone brightly, and a barbecue party was in full swing in the backyard of Xu Yi's villa.
Since Notting Hill wasn't finished yet, Xu Yi was temporarily living here. The considerate higher-ups in Boston, fearing neighborhood disputes leading to an American-style community incident, decided... to ensure Xu Yi had no neighbors.
They bought all the surrounding villas and gifted them to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi had the backyard fence taken down, now the entire lawn had become his backyard, exceptionally spacious.
A long table stood on the grass, capable of seating twenty to thirty people, but at the moment only three individuals occupied Nuo Da's dining table, with everyone else consciously keeping their distance—even Xu Yi had escaped to a corner to grill skewers.
A plate of grilled lamb skewers was placed at the center of the table, emitting a rich meaty fragrance.
Among the three, Carlyle was the first to lose restraint, reaching out to grab one.
