Lu Ting refused at first. âThis is her dinner appointment so why are you joining in the fun?â
âBut Xi Wan has already promised me!â Lu Zhou said, âBesides, arenât you curious about who Xi Wan is meeting?â
âWhat has it got to do with me?â Lu Ting tugged at his tie uncomfortably. âThis is her private matter.â
âDo you really not have any feelings for Xi Wan?â Lu Zhou looked a little disappointed as she said, âI still want her to be my sister-in-law. Canât you work harder?â
Lu Ting almost spat out the water he just drank. âLu Zhou, are you out of your mind? Miss Xi is already married so how can she be your sister-in-law?â
âCanât she get a divorce once sheâs married?â Lu Zhou said, âEveryone is saying that Xi Wan and Su Xun do not have a good relationship. Theyâre going to get a divorce sooner or later! Wouldnât it be fine if you marry her then?â
âItâs not as if you didnât see them at the birthday banquetâ¦â
Lu Zhou interrupted Lu Ting. âThatâs just an act! Su Xun does not want to be embarrassed so Xi Wan was simply cooperating with him!â
Lu Ting was speechless.
Anyway, Lu Zhou could always think of a lot of reasons to refute him.
So, he picked up his coat and stood up, saying, âIâll send you to the restaurant. Stop chattering in my ear.â
âThank you, Bro!â
On the way there, Lu Ting even sent Han Mingâs contact information to Xi Wan, who forwarded it to the director. Professional things should be done by professionals.
When Lu Ting arrived at the restaurant, he wanted to go back, but Lu Zhou refused to let him leave and insisted on asking him to go in for dinner with them. âYouâre already here. Why are you still going back?â
âMiss Xi didnât invite me.â
âIâll explain it to her!â Lu Zhou held onto Lu Tingâs arm and refused to let go.
While they were in a stalemate, Xi Wan also arrived. She saw the siblings tugging at the door and was a little puzzled. âWhy arenât you going in when youâre already here?â
âWeâre coming!â Lu Zhou said as she dragged Lu Ting.
This time, Lu Ting did not refuse.
The originally three-person meal instantly turned into five people.
This was a good thing for Kong Shuo. With more people, he wouldnât feel uncomfortable.
However, Fang Heng was a little unhappy.
He admitted that he had his own motives for inviting Xi Wan out for dinner but he could not stop Xi Wan from bringing other people over. So, he could only pretend to be a gentleman and asked Kong Shuo about his opinion.
However, Kong Shuo said, âItâs livelier with more people.â
Fang Heng was speechless.
After entering the private room, Lu Zhou sat directly to the left of Xi Wan. Lu Ting and Fang Heng placed their hands on the chair to Xi Wanâs right at the same time and neither one of them seemed to want to let go.
âChairman Lu, arenât you going to sit with your sister?â Fang Heng asked with a smile.
Lu Ting also smiled and said, âSheâs already an adult so I donât need to keep an eye on her all the time. Itâs better to get to know more people. Mr. Fang, youâre so young and promising. We all truly admire you.â
Who âweâ referred to, was truly intriguing.
Fang Heng felt that Lu Ting was not a simple person. Otherwise, he wouldnât have gotten the top actor award at such a young age.
The two of them were in a stalemate. Xi Wan suddenly stood up and sat between Lu Zhou and Kong Shuo. She said, âThere is now room for you two to sit next to each other.â
Lu Ting:
Fang Heng:
Kong Shuo almost knocked over the cup of water beside him.
The waiter came in with the menu. After Xi Wan ordered a few dishes, she asked them to order again. When the waiter left with the menu, the door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap.
People outside the door could see the situation inside through the gap.
Tang An sat outside and stared inside. If he was not mistaken, that was Lu Ting and his sister-in-law, right?
Combined with the recent topics on the Internet, Tang Anâs heart thumped. He quickly sent a message to Su Xun: [When are you coming back? Sister-in-law is being coveted!]
Tang An admitted that he was trying to stir up trouble.
He had known Su Xun for a long time, but had never seen any other expression on his face. So, Tang An still wanted to see Su Xun jealous when it came to this matter.
After sending the message, Tang An walked over and knocked on the door politely. He then pushed the door open and entered. âSister-in-law, what a coincidenceâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, Tang An was stunned.
Why were there so many people? Werenât there only two people just now? How did three other people appear?
Xi Wan looked at Tang An. After recalling for a moment, she said, âTang An, are you here to have dinner too?â
Tang An instantly became serious and said, âIâm here to bring you some wine..â
