Standing outside, Shi Guang refused to budge for the longest time. She had thought that it would be only the two of them having the meal, but why were there outsiders? Ugh, she didn’t really feel like getting acquainted with Lu Yanchen’s friends.
Lu Yanchen turned around and looked at her. After waiting for half a second, he tugged her hand and pulled her in.
Chu Mubei stood up immediately to welcome them, but he was stopped by Lu Yanchen. “Snub your cigarette first.”
“Haha, I didn’t know that there’d be any girls!” He subbed his cigarette in the ashtray while saying.
After pulling Shi Guang down to sit, Lu Yanchen introduced Mo Yanzhi. Shi Guang had seen him on the day of the provincial team selection preliminary heats—he was there to cheer her on together with Chu Mubei. She smiled gratefully as a greeting.
However, that name—Mo Yanzhi—did sound a little familiar. Shi Guang did not remember where she had heard it, but wherever it was, he was definitely just like Lu Yanchen and Chu Mubei—one of those that came from a family of status not to be trifled with.
The entire time, Shi Guang kept really quiet and did not speak out of habit, unless she was called by the name. In actual fact, the topics they were discussing were way too deep for her to comprehend as well. Hence, even if she wanted to join in, she could not.
She felt that she only had a single mission for coming along—eat, eat and eat.
Eat till she was dead.
For this woman who had said that she didn’t want dinner in the first place, as she looked at all the dishes that were laid out on the table one after another, she felt as though her stomach was about to burst a hole through.
For that man who had said that she was only there to watch him eat, he joined in the conversation with the other two men as he drank and would even take food for her from time to time.
At the start, Chu Mubei would tease them cheekily left and right, saying that the two of them were here to display their affections. But after that, he got used to things and even looked down on them, complaining that they were too cheesy! This man…!
At that moment, Lu Yanchen’s phone rang as he headed out to pick it up. Chu Mubei looked over at Shi Guang cheekily and poured for her a glass of wine. “Here, here! Little Sister Shi Guang, I’ll toast you!”
“I don’t really know how to drink. I think let’s forget about it,” She did not know how to drink, and would always feel that alcohol tasted really bad. She could never understand how some people could be so into alcohol.
“This wine is sweet, and tastes rather good! It’ll be fine to just drink a little!”
Chu Mubei had his glass raised for quite some time now, and Mo Yanzhi had raised his as well. “This is our first meeting, let us toast!”
Shi Guang did not feel too good having them wait for her like that, and thus raised her glass and drank it.
It really sucked.
Immediately, Shi Guang drank a mouthful of water to get rid of the taste of alcohol.
After Chu Mubei drank his, he topped up both their glasses by habit.
“Little Sister Shi Guang, are you really going to get married to Old Lu?”
“Aren’t you a follower of my Weibo?” Wasn’t that asking the obvious?
Chu Mubei smirked out evilly, “But, didn’t you say that a trash man had dumped you? Now, anybody knows that a good horse does not return to the same pasture.”
Shi Guang replied coldly, “Now, I’ve got no opinion if you term yourself as a horse that women always ride on, but I must clarify that I’m not a horse.”
Mo Yanzhi at the side could not help but chuckle out, “Ignore him! The reason why he’s so sour is that he’s being forced to get married recently.”
Chu Mubei glared at him fiercely. “You’re too tired of the world being peaceful, aren’t you? I’m talking to Little Sister Shi Guang. What’s your business here?”
Mo Yanzhi raised his brow. “What can you do to me if I want to?”
Shi Guang looked at Chu Mubei curiously before turning around to Mo Yanzhi. “Who’s forcing him? Was he too… Is this a shotgun marriage?”
There was a hint of gloat within that gossipy question.
Chu Mubei sweated out. “How can that be! I haven’t even seen that person before! It’s just two families that want to get connected through marriage. Come, come… let’s drink…”
