Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248 He’s Drinking Outside

"I’m just here, aside from you guys, I don’t have other close friends, that’s why I wanted to ask him out for a meal," Yang Xiaoxi said stubbornly.

Shen Mianmian tapped her forehead and said, "You! If you really just wanted to have a meal with him, then why did you get upset when he didn’t have time to come?"

"I have a bad temper, you know that," Yang Xiaoxi argued.

"You’re still being stubborn like a drowning duck," Shen Mianmian made an analogy. "When you asked Director Lu out for a meal and he didn’t have time, why weren’t you upset then?"

"..." Yang Xiaoxi was at a loss for words, her face turning red. "Mianmian, Xiaocui, you mustn’t say this in front of Cheng Feiyang, otherwise, he’ll be smug to death."

Shen Mianmian smiled slightly and was about to nod when Yang Xiaoxi’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Lu Nian calling, she was shocked; this was the first call from him since the last time Lu Nian invited her for a meal.

"What’s Director Lu doing calling this late?"

"Just answer and see!" Shen Mianmian suggested.

Xiaocui tactfully remained quiet. She didn’t know who Lu Nian was, but hearing Yang Xiaoxi refer to him as Director Lu, she assumed it must be work-related, so she dared not speak and add to the confusion.

"Hello, Director Lu."

Yang Xiaoxi answered the call, and there was a pause from Lu Nian before he spoke indifferently.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Xiaoxi glanced at Shen Mianmian before responding, "I’m chatting with Mianmian. She’s getting married the day after tomorrow. Today, some friends came over from Licheng, so we’re sitting together and talking."

"Mianmian is there too?" Lu Nian chuckled before saying, "I thought you were with Feiyang."

"He’s out drinking," Yang Xiaoxi said, still a little angry about Cheng Feiyang’s scheming, which affected her tone when mentioning him.

"Did you two have a fight?" Lu Nian detected the dissatisfaction in Yang Xiaoxi’s voice.

"No, no!" Yang Xiaoxi quickly softened her tone. "Director Lu, it’s late, did you call for something specific?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to ask if Mianmian is still planning to act after getting married." Although Shen Mianmian had agreed to act in his film, Lu Nian also considered whether Shen Mianmian would plan for a second child, so he contacted Yang Xiaoxi instead of asking Shen Mianmian directly, knowing she’s busy with the wedding.

"That..." Yang Xiaoxi didn’t want to decide for Shen Mianmian, "I’ll discuss it with her and then get back to you."

"Okay." Lu Nian paused before adding, "Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s have lunch together."

Yang Xiaoxi already had a boyfriend and it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to go out at night, so he invited her for lunch.

"Lunch?" Yang Xiaoxi asked directly, "Can I bring Feiyang along? He’s quite petty and doesn’t allow me to have meals alone with other men."

Hearing her straightforward tone, Lu Nian laughed, "Okay, let’s meet at Lingnan Restaurant tomorrow noon."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaoxi began to worry. She had agreed just like that; what if Cheng Feiyang didn’t want to go?

Never mind, if he doesn’t want to go, she thought, I’ll just go by myself, it’s broad daylight after all, and Lu Nian isn’t a stranger.

"Director Lu asked you out for a meal?" Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow.

Yang Xiaoxi nodded, "He asked if you still wanted to act in his movie after getting married. I was afraid you might be pregnant and unable to act, so I didn’t commit to anything and said I’d discuss it with you first."
