The handsome man’s slender hand extended once more, this time with a glass of water.
Indeed, he was warm, gracious, and considerate.
After Nanxi had stopped coughing, and her face had returned to normal, she felt a genuine pity for Liang Qiaoqiao:
She’d passed up on such a rare, attractive blind date prospect.
If she knew, she would undoubtedly regret it!
Nanxi got up, pretending to go to the restroom.
As soon as she stepped into the hallway, she called Liang Qiaoqiao, but there was no answer.
It seems, thought Nanxi, that it was fated for them not to meet.
When returning, the man was no longer at their table.
Alarm flashed through Nanxi’s mind: what if the man hadn’t paid for his coffee…
As Nanxi stood there uncertain whether to walk over, make a quick exit before the waiter noticed, or call Yang Su for help, her shoulder was lightly nudged.
“Why are you standing here and not leaving?”
This familiar gentle and magnetic voice sparked Nanxi’s emotions.
Retaining her composure, she turned her head and smiled sweetly at him, “I was just wondering where you had gone.
I wanted to find you…”
“Oh?” The man raised an eyebrow, “Where did you plan to look for me?”
“…” She honestly didn’t know.
The two sat down again.
This time, Nanxi finished her coffee faster, eager to leave soon.
Before leaving, she couldn’t help but make a last-ditch effort for Liang Qiaoqiao, “By the way, Mr.
Lu, my cousin couldn’t make it today.
You two can arrange to meet next time!”
“Not necessary!” The man responded warmly, waving a waiter over, seemingly ready to pay the bill.
Nanxi felt a pang of sorrow for Liang Qiaoqiao!
Cousin, it’s not that I didn’t help you, it’s you who missed out on a handsome and successful man!
As the man handed a golden membership card to the waiter, Nanxi once again felt for Liang Qiaoqiao: he’s not only handsome but also successful!
Nanxi couldn’t help but wonder how upset Liang Qiaoqiao would be if she knew.
She would probably blame her for not trying harder to secure a second chance…
The two left the cafe, the man holding a canister of cappuccino, probably for his sister.
Nanxi pursed her lips, feeling envious of his sister.
To have a brother who brings you cappuccino everyday…
“Let me drive you!” The man walked over to a black Land Rover and opened the door, courteously offering Nanxi a ride.
Noticing the Land Rover emblem, Nanxi’s emotions swirled: Land Rover, her favorite car brand.
Even though she wasn’t too interested in cars, she had always had an inexplicable fondness for Land Rovers and for men who drove Land Rovers.
Nanxi smiled and shook her head, “No thank you, I can go home myself!
Thanks for the cappuccino, goodbye Mr.
“Wait——” The man stopped her, and handed over the bottled cappuccino in his hand.
“I saw you finish your cup without spilling a drop, I figured you must like it…”
Nanxi sheepishly accepted the bag.
Her emotions were difficult to articulate, she thanked him again, waved, then ran…
She ran swiftly, seemingly afraid that the man would hold her back!
Nanxi was lucky, a bus just happened to stop as she ran up, jumped on, found a window-side seat, and turned her face outward.
The man stood in front of his Land Rover, maintaining his previous posture, staring intensely at her.
His gaze was profound; his features as mesmerizing as a painting, as he watched her in silence…
