Li Yan leaned back on the sofa with one arm around Qiao Mu’s shoulder. He casually played with her hair and replied, “”Why is he back so soon? Are you done?”
” Yeah, according to the reports from the people there, Second Brother worked very hard after he went there. He didn’t stop working day and night. He solved a month’s work in half a month. If he was always so efficient, we wouldn’t have to work so hard. ” Lu Jingzhi said.
“Do you want to go out for a meal tonight to relax?” Li Yan asked softly as he looked at Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu thought about it and nodded. She had been cooped up at home for the entire day, so it was good to go out for a meal.
However …
” Uncle, I’m not going with you guys. I’m going to have dinner with Chi Xia and Baby Guan alone. I won’t be joining you guys. ”
Since Qiao Mu had an appointment tonight, Li Yan agreed to Lu Jingzhi’s request.
Night fell.
Qiao Mu asked Baby Guan and Chi Xia out for hotpot. Coincidentally, Li Yan and the others were also here for hotpot.
When Ling Xi walked past their table, he sighed, “”Tsk tsk, what a coincidence. I wonder if it’s heaven’s will or man-made?”
Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan, who was walking over from behind her. Li Yan sat down beside Qiao Mu in an open manner. ” Since we’ve met, let’s eat together. ”
Qiao Mu was speechless. This man!
Chi Xia had a bad feeling when she saw Li Yan and the others. Then, she saw Su Chen walking over from behind.
She looked at the man. They hadn’t seen each other for half a month and hadn’t contacted each other at all. Ever since she ran away last time, they had become strangers.
Chi Xia’s hand that was holding her chopsticks was in a daze. She lowered her head and averted her gaze as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Mu noticed that something was off with Chi Xia. She looked up and saw Su Chen walking over.
Su Chen’s expression did not change when he saw Chi Xia. He merely glanced at her briefly before moving away.
Then, Su Chen glanced at Lu Jingzhi. ” You said that you were going to give me a welcome dinner, so you’re here to eat hotpot? ”
Lu Jingzhi did not think much of it and directly pushed the blame to Li Yan. ” Eldest Brother likes to eat, so just make do with it. ”
With Qiao Mu here, Li Yan would not have any objections even if she went to eat at a roadside stall.
Lu Jingzhi immediately asked the waiter to set up a table for seven people.
Li Yan sat beside Qiao Mu, and Lu Jingzhi was naturally guarding Baby Guan, even though Baby Guan looked disgusted.
Ling Xi sat between Lu Jingzhi and Li Yan, and the last seat was between Qiao Mu and Chi Xia.
Su Chen walked over and sat down. Chi Xia, who was beside him, subconsciously moved her chair closer to Baby Guan’s seat. This action made Su Chen’s face darken.
This woman really didn’t want to see her!
He was chatting and laughing with Qiao Mu and the others earlier, but when he saw him, his face immediately turned sour!
Qiao Mu looked at the two of them without even making eye contact. They were so unfamiliar that it was as if she didn’t know them at all.
Ling Xi suddenly suggested, ” Let’s eat hotpot and drink beer? ” Who wants to drink?”
After Ling Xi finished speaking, he started to worry about the other three men. He was the only one who was left alone. If no one gave him face and let him drink alone, he would really be too lonely.
However, what he received in response was absolute silence.
Ling Xi suddenly felt bad. Did she have to treat him like this?!
Suddenly, a voice sounded, ” I’ll drink. ”
In the next second, everyone’s gaze shifted to Chi Xia.
Chi Xia repeated, ” Young Master Ling, I’ll drink with you. “
