It was almost six o’clock, the time for the rendevous with Wei Xiao.
When he saw the two people arriving at the entrance of Laifeng Restaurant, Wei Xiao’s heart finally settled.
He quickly greeted them warmly, “You’re here. Let me order the dishes first and see if there’s anything else you’d like to eat. I’ll have them prepared immediately.”
Shen Jun just nodded and remained silent. Although his aloof attitude irked Wei Xiao, he suppressed his annoyance, knowing he needed to curry favor with
Shen Jun.
“Shen Jun, 1 apologize on behalf of Wei Lai for her behavior yesterday.”
However, before Wei Xiao could continue speaking, a girl wearing a tight-fitting mini dress appeared before them.
“Indeed, I was in the wrong yesterday. If anyone should apologize, it should be me,” Wei Lai gazed fixedly at Shen Jun. “Shen Jun, big brother, I was mistaken yesterday. Today, I’m here to treat you and make amends.”
Watching her, Wen Nian couldn’t help but roll her eyes. This girl was barely a teenager, yet she had squeezed into a skin-tight modified qipao that was also extremely short, revealing her well-proportioned figure.
However, no matter how you looked at it, her outfit didn’t match her age.
Clearly, Wei Lai had prepared for this encounter. Her voice dripped with sweetness, “Shen Jun, big brother, can you give me a chance to apologize? Pretty please?”
Wei Lai gazed at Shen Jun with eyes full of affection, and her soft gaze was unyielding. As she spoke, she approached Shen Jun, intending to take his hand, but Shen Jun firmly pushed her away.
“Make way.”
Shen Jun’s words were sharp, and Wen Nian burst into laughter at his direct and clueless manner. It appeared he was indeed a straightforward guy.
Seeing that Shen Jun completely ignored her, and noticing the amused expression on Wen Nian’s face, Wei Lai felt irritated. However, before she could approach, Wei Xiao intervened.
With gritted teeth, Wei Xiao whispered, “I told you not to interfere. Who allowed you to come?”
“This is a restaurant. Anyone can come here,” Wei Lai offered the prepared excuse she had in mind. “Today was supposed to be a classmate’s birthday party, but he had something come up at home, so we ended it early. What’s wrong with me coming?”
Wei Lai thought her excuse was impeccable, but being a teenager, it was riddled with holes. Wen Nian, deep inside, rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Before the siblings could finish arguing, Wen Nian simply grabbed Shen Jun’s arm and turned to leave.
Wei Xiao quickly caught up with them and pleaded, “Since you’re here, don’t leave. Wei Lai only came to attend a classmate’s birthday party, and they’ve already finished. She’s leaving soon.”
“Really?” Wen Nian looked at Wei Xiao mockingly. She knew very well that he couldn’t control his sister.
“Absolutely,” Wei Xiao signaled to the two bodyguards behind him, and the next moment, they escorted Wei Lai away.
“Are you crazy? Do you even know who 1 am? Wei Xiao, how dare you…”
Hearing Wei Lai’s fading voice, Wen Nian’s mouth twitched with amusement. It seemed Wei Xiao was really resolute this time, making sure to win Shen Jun’s favor.
“Now that there are no outsiders, Shen Jun, don’t leave either. What do you think, Wen Nian?”
Wei Xiao thought to himself, fortunately, he was well-prepared and had brought his personal bodyguards along. Otherwise, Wei Lai would have spoiled things again.
Shen Jun finally spoke, an unusual occurrence. “Let’s go to the private room.”
“Sure, follow me. I’ve prepared the best private room for you.” Wei Xiao quickly led them into an elevator.
Looking at the table already set with lobster, abalone, king crab, and various classic Sichuan dishes, as well as a bottle of wine, Wen Nian thought to herself that Wei Xiao really didn’t spare any expenses.
As they entered the private room, he had even prepared a bottle of red wine.
“Since we have school tomorrow, Wen Nian, have some juice. Let’s enjoy Lafite, and Shen Jun, do you like it?”
Wei Xiao was about to ask for some hangover remedies, but Shen Jun waved his hand, “I’m used to Lafite. How about trying Maotai?”
Hearing that Shen Jun wanted to drink, Wei Xiao’s face reddened with excitement. He quickly had Maotai brought to the table.
“Shen Jun, 1 didn’t expect you to be knowledgeable about alcohol. This is a io-year-old Feitian Maotai. I wasn’t prepared for this, but next time I’ll get you an even better one
Wei Xiao poured the Maotai, bowing as he served Shen Jun. Although Shen Jun was observing the situation on the surface, Wei Xiao’s annoyance had dissipated. As long as the man was happy with his drinking at the table, what issue couldn’t be resolved?
Wen Nian felt a bit concerned and squeezed Shen Jun’s hand. She knew the strength of Maotai, and it wasn’t something you could casually drink.
However, Shen Jun raised an eyebrow, then gave her a reassuring look that said, “Don’t worry..”
