Lu Wanggui was stunned for a moment, then he nodded. “Hello, CEO Ding.”
Only then did CEO Ding notice Xiang Xiaoyuan. “This is?”
Lu Wanggui smiled and introduced her, “My wife.”
CEO Ding was obviously stunned. After a long while, he regained his senses. “CEO Lu, are you married? Why haven’t I heard the news?”
Lu Wanggui said, “My wife is low-key. If we have time in the future, we will have a reception. I’ll send you an invitation when the time comes.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”
No, I am high-key!
Why did she have to take the blame for not holding a wedding? She didn’t like being the scapegoat!
“Alright, don’t forget about it when the time comes!”
CEO Ding called the manager and said to Lu Wanggui, “CEO Lu, you and Mrs. Lu can have the private room. Charge it under my name. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
After the friendly CEO Ding left, Lu Wanggui and Xiang Xiaoyuan entered the exquisitely decorated private room. They looked around and Xiang Xiaoyuan asked, “Who was that person just now?”
Lu Wanggui, who had always been calm and collected, was stumped. He actually didn’t know how to answer Xiang Xiaoyuan’s question.
This time, Xiang Xiaoyuan was even more curious. Who exactly was CEO Ding? She sat beside him. Her arm was next to his as she asked, “Tell me, who is he?”
Lu Wanggui pinched the bridge of his nose. He was pestered by Xiang Xiaoyuan, so he reluctantly said, “Xiao Bei’s first stepfather.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan was dumbfounded. “…”
The atmosphere was strange. Xiang Xiaoyuan let out a dry laugh. “I didn’t expect the two of you to have such a good relationship.”
Lu Wanggui said, “It’s hard to decline a kind offer.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan thought of CEO Ding’s personality and immediately understood. “It’s quite amazing.”
She didn’t expect Lu Wanggui to be able to get along with his ex-wife’s husband. No, it was his ex-wife’s ex-husband. The two men didn’t even blush when they met. In fact, they were very harmonious. It was as if they could sit down and chat at any time.
Was this how mature men behave?
Did he not feel anything at all?
The waiter came over to take their order. When he asked if there were any dietary restrictions, the waiter looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan. “Do you take vinegar?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded and realized that Lu Wanggui was staring at her. His expression was the same as before, but Xiang Xiaoyuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She kept feeling that Lu Wanggui was looking at her teasingly.
After she realized what was going on, she asked him, “Do you take vinegar?”
Lu Wanggui looked a little helpless. “Up to you.”
He meant that he would if she would and vice versa.
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”
She decisively turned her gaze to the waiter. “Although my husband also takes vinegar, let’s not put vinegar in our dishes today. Thank you.”
The waiter thought that the two of them were rather strange, but he was still very professional and took note of their preference.
After the waiter left, Xiang Xiaoyuan went back to the topic, “Honestly, your relationship with Lu Bei’s first stepfather seems to be quite good.”
How did he do it? Did he not feel any awkwardness?
Lu Wanggui corrected her. “It’s not good. It’s just a casual relationship where we greet each other when we meet. It’s basic courtesy.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”
That’s still very calm.
He doesn’t get jealous and he never loses control?
Was this a mature man’s ability to control his emotions? So boring.
Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Wanggui ate in harmony. After all, for Lu Wanggui, it was a luxury for him to get off work early and have dinner outside. It was impossible for him to participate in a couple’s activities like watching a movie.
After dinner, the two of them prepared to go home. There was some traffic on the way back. When they reached the entrance of Repulse Bay Villa, it was already past eight o’clock. Xiang Xiaoyuan habitually glanced at the convenience store. However, she found that the convenience store that was supposed to be brightly lit was pitch black. She stopped the car and dialed Xu Xiyao’s number. It was quickly picked up, his breathing was unsteady. “Boss, the power in the store suddenly went out. I just checked. The circuit must have burnt out. I just called the property management. They said that they would send someone over to fix it in half an hour.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded. “I’ll come over right away. Don’t touch the switch. It’s dangerous.”
After that, she hung up and unbuckled her seatbelt. Of course, she did not forget about Lu Wanggui, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Before getting out of the car, she bent down and met his gaze. “You still have to work when you go home, right? Go home first. Don’t worry about me. I’ll go back after I’ve dealt with the matter.”
Lu Wanggui paused. “Okay.”
She closed the car door and strode toward the convenience store.
Taking a few steps from the car to the store was enough to make her sweat. Because of the power failure, the usually bright and cool convenience store was like a steamer.. It was so hot that it made one anxious.
