Five minutes later, Lu Xingzhe hurried over.

From a distance, he spotted Gu Zhiqi sitting on the sofa and quickly strode towards her.

As he got closer, he didn’t forget to vigilantly size up Tang Yichen and Su Yunling, who were standing and sitting opposite Gu Zhiqi, respectively.

When he saw Tang Yichen’s slick attire, a clear sense of wariness tainted his eyes.

His gaze softened slightly when it fell on Su Yunling.

After all, Su Yunling’s demeanor was far too outstanding; even with an ordinary face, that kind of temperament didn’t seem to belong to someone harboring ill intentions.

Neither Su Yunling nor Tang Yichen knew what was going through Lu Xingzhe’s head, and as he assessed them, they were also taking his measure.

After getting a clear look at Lu Xingzhe, a flash of surprise crossed Tang Yichen’s eyes.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the person they were supposed to protect this time, the second young master of the Lu Family, right?

This was the first time Tang Yichen had seen Lu Xingzhe in person; he had only seen photos before.

Now, seeing him in the flesh, Tang Yichen couldn’t help but scrutinize him for a moment.

He seemed to be just another handsome face, nothing extraordinary.

What made him a target for Angel’s people?

After Tang Yichen finished assessing Lu Xingzhe, he glanced towards Su Yunling and realized that after she had taken measure of Lu Xingzhe, her gaze had shifted to Gu Zhiqi, her attention seemingly elsewhere, lost in thought.

“Are you okay?

Did you get into a fight?

Did any strange people talk to you?” Lu Xingzhe bombarded her with questions the moment he opened his mouth, then squatted down near Gu Zhiqi, one hand on the table and the other on the sofa, looking her up and down.

Only after confirming that she was unharmed did Lu Xingzhe breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, he turned to Gu Zhiqi with a sour face and said, clearly displeased, “Who let you drink?

Don’t you know your own limits?”

Lu Xingzhe had rattled off a string of questions, but Gu Zhiqi hadn’t absorbed a word, merely looking at Lu Xingzhe, she asked, “Where’s my horsetail whisk?”

At her words, Lu Xingzhe paused slightly, his expression turning slightly unnatural, “Wait, you’ll see it in a moment.” After saying that, he stood up, took out his phone from his pocket, and sent a message.

After sending the message, Lu Xingzhe looked at Tang Yichen, then at Su Yunling, and asked, “How long have you known her?”

Hearing Lu Xingzhe’s question, Su Yunling remained silent, while Tang Yichen raised an eyebrow and did not answer his question, instead countering with one of his own, “When did you meet him?”

“I asked first.” Since Tang Yichen hadn’t answered his question, Lu Xingzhe naturally wouldn’t either.

“Too bad I don’t feel like answering your question.” Tang Yichen shrugged at Lu Xingzhe.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhe’s expression darkened slightly, and he responded calmly, “If you don’t want to answer, then forget it.”

Then, he took a seat next to Gu Zhiqi and asked as he turned to look at her, “Did you come here on your own?”

Gu Zhiqi sat quietly, ignoring Lu Xingzhe.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhe frowned.

Noticing that Gu Zhiqi’s attention was fixed across from her, he followed her gaze and saw Su Yunling sitting opposite.

Su Yunling’s eyes slightly lowered, her fingers gently playing with the ring on her hand.

Seeing Su Yunling’s waiter outfit paired with a refined and dignified air, and recalling what his father had mentioned to him earlier, a speculation arose in Lu Xingzhe’s mind.

As the speculation took shape, Lu Xingzhe’s expression changed subtly, and a hint of apprehension colored his gaze, “Are you really her friends?”
