Lu Wanggui was stunned for a moment, then he nodded. âHello, CEO Ding.â
Only then did CEO Ding notice Xiang Xiaoyuan. âThis is?â
Lu Wanggui smiled and introduced her, âMy wife.â
CEO Ding was obviously stunned. After a long while, he regained his senses. âCEO Lu, are you married? Why havenât I heard the news?â
Lu Wanggui said, âMy wife is low-key. If we have time in the future, we will have a reception. Iâll send you an invitation when the time comes.â
Xiang Xiaoyuan: â? ? ?â
No, I am high-key!
Why did she have to take the blame for not holding a wedding? She didnât like being the scapegoat!
âAlright, donât forget about it when the time comes!â
CEO Ding called the manager and said to Lu Wanggui, âCEO Lu, you and Mrs. Lu can have the private room. Charge it under my name. Donât stand on ceremony.â
After the friendly CEO Ding left, Lu Wanggui and Xiang Xiaoyuan entered the exquisitely decorated private room. They looked around and Xiang Xiaoyuan asked, âWho was that person just now?â
Lu Wanggui, who had always been calm and collected, was stumped. He actually didnât know how to answer Xiang Xiaoyuanâs question.
This time, Xiang Xiaoyuan was even more curious. Who exactly was CEO Ding? She sat beside him. Her arm was next to his as she asked, âTell me, who is he?â
Lu Wanggui pinched the bridge of his nose. He was pestered by Xiang Xiaoyuan, so he reluctantly said, âXiao Beiâs first stepfather.â
Xiang Xiaoyuan was dumbfounded. â...â
The atmosphere was strange. Xiang Xiaoyuan let out a dry laugh. âI didnât expect the two of you to have such a good relationship.â
Lu Wanggui said, âItâs hard to decline a kind offer.â
Xiang Xiaoyuan thought of CEO Dingâs personality and immediately understood. âItâs quite amazing.â
She didnât expect Lu Wanggui to be able to get along with his ex-wifeâs husband. No, it was his ex-wifeâs ex-husband. The two men didnât even blush when they met. In fact, they were very harmonious. It was as if they could sit down and chat at any time.
Was this how mature men behave?
Did he not feel anything at all?
The waiter came over to take their order. When he asked if there were any dietary restrictions, the waiter looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan. âDo you take vinegar?â
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded and realized that Lu Wanggui was staring at her. His expression was the same as before, but Xiang Xiaoyuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She kept feeling that Lu Wanggui was looking at her teasingly.
After she realized what was going on, she asked him, âDo you take vinegar?â
Lu Wanggui looked a little helpless. âUp to you.â
He meant that he would if she would and vice versa.
Xiang Xiaoyuan: â...â
She decisively turned her gaze to the waiter. âAlthough my husband also takes vinegar, letâs not put vinegar in our dishes today. Thank you.â
The waiter thought that the two of them were rather strange, but he was still very professional and took note of their preference.
After the waiter left, Xiang Xiaoyuan went back to the topic, âHonestly, your relationship with Lu Beiâs first stepfather seems to be quite good.â
How did he do it? Did he not feel any awkwardness?
Lu Wanggui corrected her. âItâs not good. Itâs just a casual relationship where we greet each other when we meet. Itâs basic courtesy.â
Xiang Xiaoyuan: â...â
Thatâs still very calm.
He doesnât get jealous and he never loses control?
Was this a mature manâs ability to control his emotions? So boring.
Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Wanggui ate in harmony. After all, for Lu Wanggui, it was a luxury for him to get off work early and have dinner outside. It was impossible for him to participate in a coupleâs activities like watching a movie.
After dinner, the two of them prepared to go home. There was some traffic on the way back. When they reached the entrance of Repulse Bay Villa, it was already past eight oâclock. Xiang Xiaoyuan habitually glanced at the convenience store. However, she found that the convenience store that was supposed to be brightly lit was pitch black. She stopped the car and dialed Xu Xiyaoâs number. It was quickly picked up, his breathing was unsteady. âBoss, the power in the store suddenly went out. I just checked. The circuit must have burnt out. I just called the property management. They said that they would send someone over to fix it in half an hour.â
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded. âIâll come over right away. Donât touch the switch. Itâs dangerous.â
After that, she hung up and unbuckled her seatbelt. Of course, she did not forget about Lu Wanggui, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Before getting out of the car, she bent down and met his gaze. âYou still have to work when you go home, right? Go home first. Donât worry about me. Iâll go back after Iâve dealt with the matter.â
Lu Wanggui paused. âOkay.â
She closed the car door and strode toward the convenience store.
Taking a few steps from the car to the store was enough to make her sweat. Because of the power failure, the usually bright and cool convenience store was like a steamer.. It was so hot that it made one anxious.
