Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Lu Shao Asked Me to Pick You Up After Work
That evening, before Si Nanchen was brought into the private room, Zhuang Shuqing had already collapsed drunk onto Lu Jinyang, so she had no idea what happened afterward.
She wouldn’t ask Lu Jinyang, and he definitely wouldn’t bring it up on his own.
Suddenly, Zhuang Shuqing stopped, looked down at the hand on her shoulder, and her eyes instantly turned cold, "Let go!"
"I won’t let go. Tell me, why are you avoiding me like this?"
"Sir, please show some self-respect."
"Haha~"
A man’s low laughter came from beside her, leaving Zhuang Shuqing utterly confused, "What are you laughing at?"
"I’m laughing at myself. Zhuang Shuqing, I thought our relationship from the past was deep enough for you to wait for me. Yet, when I returned, it turns out there’s someone else in your heart."
Zhuang Shuqing’s eyes flickered, and she pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
The two shared a moment of silence.
"Well, look who we have here. What, Mr. Great Young Si, did you go too easy on someone yesterday?"
The two looked up to see Leng Yixing walking over leisurely. The military aura about him was intense, every step he took as if weighed with gold, the sound of his footsteps causing one’s heart to flutter with trepidation.
His gaze rested on the hand on Zhuang Shuqing’s shoulder, his smile not reaching his eyes, his voice colder than before, "Mr. Great Young Si, I’m not sure if you’ve heard this saying: Don’t covet what isn’t yours."
He was clearly making a point.
Upon hearing this, Si Nanchen’s lips curved into a devilish grin, "Mr. Leng, I don’t understand. You and Gu Chen come from respectable families, so why would you willingly be Lu Jinyang’s invisible man?"
Leng Yixing’s face darkened, "Think whatever you want. However, a word of advice—if you don’t remove your hand soon, you might not be able to save it."
Thinking of the ruthlessness Lu Jinyang had when he dealt with him, Si Nanchen, despite his reluctance, had no choice but to let go.
"Is it because I haven’t been back in the country for three years that everyone’s values have changed?"
Leng Yixing’s chilling gaze swept over him, then landed on Zhuang Shuqing, instantly changing to the familiar demeanor Zhuang Shuqing saw on a regular basis, "Sister-in-law, Young Master Lu sent me to pick you up after work."
Zhuang Shuqing was still intimidated by his earlier authority and nodded dumbly. Only after getting into his car did she come to her senses.
"Lu Jinyang asked you to come?"
"Of course not." Leng Yixing laughed, "I came to ask Gu Chen to have dinner, but he was unavailable. Sister-in-law, I’ve done you a favor. Do you mind treating me to a meal?"
When this was mentioned, Leng Yixing couldn’t help but curse internally.
His mother, in her attempts to coerce him into a blind date, which he refused, had given the order to freeze his cards, leaving him without a penny to spend. It wouldn’t be an issue while staying in the military zone since there wasn’t much to spend money on, but it became problematic now that he was on leave...
"Sure, but nothing too expensive, my salary isn’t much."
Leng Yixing: "..." He did not believe that the husband who doted on his wife wouldn’t leave her with a sum of money.
However, a woman who is independent and doesn’t rely on a man certainly carries more charm, no wonder she caught Young Master Lu’s eye in the first place and has now taken up a place in his heart.
He cheerfully thought, maybe this golden bachelor has finally fallen under the spell of this woman.
"Let’s go across the street; the food there is quite good."
As Leng Yixing was immersed in his own thoughts, Zhuang Shuqing pointed at a restaurant across the street, "Take the next left."
"Mm."
After parking, the two walked into the restaurant one after the other, and Zhuang Shuqing immediately spotted Qin Huaixin sitting by the window. She quickly said to Leng Yixing, "I see a friend, if you don’t mind, shall we dine together?"
