Lu Ting refused at first. “This is her dinner appointment so why are you joining in the fun?”
“But Xi Wan has already promised me!” Lu Zhou said, “Besides, aren’t you curious about who Xi Wan is meeting?”
“What has it got to do with me?” Lu Ting tugged at his tie uncomfortably. “This is her private matter.”
“Do you really not have any feelings for Xi Wan?” Lu Zhou looked a little disappointed as she said, “I still want her to be my sister-in-law. Can’t you work harder?”
Lu Ting almost spat out the water he just drank. “Lu Zhou, are you out of your mind? Miss Xi is already married so how can she be your sister-in-law?”
“Can’t she get a divorce once she’s married?” Lu Zhou said, “Everyone is saying that Xi Wan and Su Xun do not have a good relationship. They’re going to get a divorce sooner or later! Wouldn’t it be fine if you marry her then?”
“It’s not as if you didn’t see them at the birthday banquet…”
Lu Zhou interrupted Lu Ting. “That’s just an act! Su Xun does not want to be embarrassed so Xi Wan was simply cooperating with him!”
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, “I’ll send you to the restaurant. Stop chattering in my ear.”
“Thank you, Bro!”
On the way there, Lu Ting even sent Han Ming’s 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. “You’re already here. Why are you still going back?”
“Miss Xi didn’t invite me.”
“I’ll explain it to her!” Lu Zhou held onto Lu Ting’s 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. “Why aren’t you going in when you’re already here?”
“We’re coming!” 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 wouldn’t 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, “It’s livelier with more people.”
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 Wan’s right at the same time and neither one of them seemed to want to let go.
“Chairman Lu, aren’t you going to sit with your sister?” Fang Heng asked with a smile.
Lu Ting also smiled and said, “She’s already an adult so I don’t need to keep an eye on her all the time. It’s better to get to know more people. Mr. Fang, you’re so young and promising. We all truly admire you.”
Who ‘we’ referred to, was truly intriguing.
Fang Heng felt that Lu Ting was not a simple person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t 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, “There is now room for you two to sit next to each other.”
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 An’s 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. “Sister-in-law, what a coincidence…”
Before he could finish speaking, Tang An was stunned.
Why were there so many people? Weren’t 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, “Tang An, are you here to have dinner too?”
Tang An instantly became serious and said, “I’m here to bring you some wine..”
