Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Enemies on a Narrow Road Encounter Song Xi and Gu Linyuan

Because Song Qiao fell asleep in his office and couldn’t be woken up, he was worried about her and didn’t go out to eat lunch!

Song Qiao watched Lu Jingchen walk straight towards the door, hesitating whether to follow him or not, just standing there a bit uneasily.

Lu Jingchen noticed that Song Qiao had not followed him, so he stopped, glanced at her lightly with a faint expression, and said in a deep and appealing voice that was more assertive than inquiring, "You didn’t eat lunch and slept through it, you must be hungry now, come have lunch with me!"

They had just gotten married yesterday, hence they had not had a meal together yet!

Song Qiao instinctively waved her hands, still standing motionless, "I’m not hungry!"

However, her stomach seemed to betray her, as it grumbled loudly exactly as she spoke, the sound was not too loud nor too soft, but just enough for Lu Jingchen, not far away, to hear it!

Song Qiao, "..." was embarrassed, wishing she could just burrow into a hole!

Lu Jingchen, with one hand draped over his suit jacket and the other in his pocket, appeared strikingly distinguished. His deep voice flowed effortlessly from his throat, "Let’s go!"

Because of the awkwardness, Song Qiao’s face turned a bit red, she gritted her teeth but eventually followed Lu Jingchen out of the office!

...

Sitting in the car, Song Qiao sat by the passenger seat like a good student, seemingly calm on the surface, but she felt like sitting on pins and needles!

Throughout the ride, neither of them spoke, but Song Qiao realized that Lu Jingchen wasn’t as cold and indifferent as she had heard before; instead, she felt a sense of safety even just sitting in the car with him!

This sudden feeling made Song Qiao twitch the corners of her mouth, thinking that she was overthinking, they were going to get a divorce anyway, why care about feeling safe!

Lu Jingchen chose a rather famous restaurant in An City. After thinking it over, Song Qiao decided that after dinner, she would find a chance to discuss the divorce with Lu Jingchen, seeming set on divorcing!

What she hadn’t expected was that even going out for a meal would lead to such an awkward encounter. Lu Jingchen went to park the car and asked her to wait for him in the restaurant. Just as she was about to reach the restaurant’s entrance, she saw Song Xi heading towards the restaurant entrance, together with her ex-boyfriend... Gu Linyuan!

Seeing Song Xi and Gu Linyuan, who also froze upon seeing her, Song Qiao really wanted to look up at the blue sky and howl, ’I forgot to read the almanac before going out today!’

Song Xi was the first to react, stepping forward to interrogate Song Qiao with a sharp voice filled with resentment, "Song Qiao, why are you here? This is one of the most expensive restaurants in Beijing, don’t you know that? Do you realize that a single meal here is the equivalent of your monthly living expenses, can you afford it? Please, don’t embarrass yourself here!?"
