Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Is he... digging the wall?

"Miss Li, why don’t you sit here with me."

Li Manman looked at Fu Bin with his carefree manner and felt like he deserved a beating. He knew she was here for Feng Yi, yet he deliberately caused trouble for her.

What was even more infuriating was Feng Yi acted as if he didn’t see her, letting Fu Bin place her beside him.

Li Manman glanced at Feng Yi from the corner of her eye and smiled radiantly at Fu Bin, "Alright."

Fu Bin rested his left arm on the dining table, his well-defined fingers rubbing his chin, and the corner of his lips curled up in interest, "Miss Li, don’t you find me more suitable for you than Feng Yi?"

Was he blatantly... stealing his thunder?

Li Manman’s clear eyes looked towards Feng Yi, hoping he would say something, but that guy remained indifferent as if nothing concerned him.

"I don’t quite understand what you’re saying?"

Li Manman rubbed the rim of her glass with her fingertips, her lowered gaze perfectly hiding a hint of loss in her eyes.

Fu Bin tilted his head closer to Li Manman, "Why don’t I pursue you?"

"Are you testing me, or testing your brother?" Li Manman whispered softly into Fu Bin’s ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Yet their posture seemed somewhat... ambiguous.

"That guy is just a big introvert. Do you want me to help you?" Fu Bin raised his eyebrows at Li Manman, his lips curled with a sly smile.

Having someone to smooth things over was naturally something Li Manman longed for, she eagerly agreed, "Sure, how do you plan to help me?"

Fu Bin’s deep dark eyes shimmered with a gleam, his mind had already figured it all out. He murmured a few words into Li Manman’s ear, then the two exchanged a knowing glance.

Han Xi frowned as he looked at the two next to him, unsure of what mischief they were up to, but he felt they were plotting some shady conspiracy.

Lu Jinghan watched indifferently; he had a somewhat accurate guess about what Fu Bin was thinking, but suddenly felt Feng Yi seemed a bit innocent in all this.

The waiter soon served the dishes, and the atmosphere among the few was quite harmonious, filled with chatter and laughter.

Halfway through the meal, Feng Yi stepped out to take a phone call, and Li Manman made an excuse to follow.

Feng Yi stood by the window in the hallway, talked on the phone for a long time before hanging up, then turned around to see Li Manman leaning against the wall a few steps away from him.

Feng Yi put his phone into his pants pocket, keeping his hands inside as well, and walked over gentlemanly, pausing beside Li Manman, "Miss Li, aren’t you going back to finish your meal?"

Li Manman’s lightly made-up eyes and brows held a charming smile; she didn’t answer but instead asked, "How do you think I look today? Is it the type you like?"

Feng Yi looked at Li Manman and gave his honest opinion, "This style doesn’t suit you."

Li Manman was the kind of woman who was extremely alluring in appearance, this fresh and simple style didn’t match her inherent temperament at all. Although she wore light makeup today, it couldn’t hide the captivating allure in her eyes.

Li Manman glanced down at her clothes, then lifted her gaze with a smile, "Could you give me your phone number so I can reach you?"

Although Li Manman could ask Fu Bin for it, as Lu Jinghan had said, even if they gave her the number, if Feng Yi didn’t like her, he could still block her, so she hoped Feng Yi would willingly give it to her.

Over the years, countless women had tried to get Feng Yi’s number, but he had never given it. Today was no exception, "Miss Li, we’re not suitable for each other, so let’s not waste our efforts."
