“Hmm?” The man picked up a napkin to wipe his hands, his handsome eyebrows knitting faintly.
It’s okay, you can tell me what you want to eat, it’s not too late to add!”
“No, it’s not that!” Nanxi waved her hands, opened her mouth to speak, but was at a loss for words…
Should she ask him, “Mr.
Lu, how did you know what I like to eat?” or “What a coincidence, Mr.
Lu, all the dishes you ordered are my favorites!”
…Obviously, neither of these would be appropriate!
Instead, Nanxi said, “There’s nothing, just that these dishes…
The meal was agonizing for Nanxi.
She admitted she was hungry, but the man sitting across from her was Lu Yinchu, plus something weighed heavy on her mind, so she didn’t have much of an appetite…
The implication was: Lu Yinchu had ruined her appetite…
But ironically, she ate quite a lot, as she could only bury her head in eating so as to mask the awkwardness and nervousness she felt due to having nothing to say to the man sitting across from her…
When leaving, Nanxi trailed behind the man, covertly took out her phone and glanced at the time—it was quarter past one in the afternoon!
They seemed to have had quite a long lunch…
The sunlight outside was as bright and warm as ever, and it could easily make anyone feel sleepy.
Nanxi released a long sigh.
As soon as she descended the stairs, she saw that Mo Yan, who had left earlier, was already waiting down below with the car ready.
His demeanor was as respectful and polite as ever, his facial expression, still as cold and detached.
Nanxi thought that if she didn’t say it now, she might not get another chance later…
She hadn’t said anything yet!
Lu Yinchu turned his head to look at her, his expression serious.
He said, “Nanxi, remember, I am a businessman!”
Nanxi lowered her head: Yes, he was a businessman, whose goals were always related to his interests, and even so-called sentiments were based on these interests…
Nanxi waited for him to continue to speak, with a resigned look on her face…
But after waiting for a while, all he did was curve his lips slightly and say two words, “Let’s go!”
So they were just leaving?
But he had also said that he would consider…
“Do you need me to give you a lift?”
As he prepared to get into the car, he turned to look at her, his tone seeking her opinion, not as insistent and domineering as before!
Thank you for the lunch.
I hope you will consider…
After saying this, Nanxi bowed politely and then ran off as if escaping from a wolf, took a few steps, turned back, and waved at him standing by his car!
Her face bathed in the sunlight, serene and beautiful.
The corner of the man’s mouth curved slightly at the side of the car, and Mo Yan standing beside him frowned slightly, calling out, “Mr.
The man hummed in response, bent down to get into the car, and inside, Mo Yan turned to look at the man in the back seat, his lips parted to say, “Miss Gu is going to attend a thesis defense at H University tomorrow morning!”
Almost with the same tone and pitch as before.
“Do you want to attend?
If needed, I can arrange it!” Mo Yan asked.
The man turned his face to look at the bustling street reflected in the rearview mirror: there were so many people, so many voices, but everything seemed strange despite being so familiar!
Because the person he cared about was lost in the sea of people…
After a while, he said, “Arrange it!”
