Chapter 389: Chapter 386
Watching the relatively sweet girl choke on the drink, her ears slightly reddening, Li Tingze smiled faintly:
“Don’t mention it, Miss Cheng. As long as everyone enjoys their meal, that’s good enough.”
Upon hearing that he even knew her surname, a hint of joy suddenly emerged in Feiyu’s heart.
Shortly after, she spoke in a calm and slow manner:
“Of course we’re happy, though it must be costly for you, Mr. Li, especially since there are not only our crew members here, but also outsiders joining us and taking advantage of your hospitality.”
While speaking, her gaze drifted involuntarily in Wen Xian’s direction.
But the moment these words were spoken—
The long dining table fell abruptly silent.
Everyone’s eyes inevitably turned towards Wen Xian and her boyfriend.
It was clear whom she was implying.
It was just a meal after all; it really wasn’t necessary.
Anyone could afford it. It didn’t matter if Wen Xian’s boyfriend was an ordinary person or not; if she were so inclined, Wen Xian could buy this restaurant.
Everyone’s expressions were somewhat awkward.
That was quite disrespectful to Wen Xian and her boyfriend from Feiyu.
Although the boyfriend might not have money or influence, he was, after all, a rescue team captain, a selflessly devoted person.
However, just as those words were spoken, Mr. Li’s gaze also turned towards Lu Xiao.
A faint smile rested on his lips. He said nothing and offered no rebuttal to the woman’s remarks, apparently also curious to see how Wen Xian’s boyfriend would handle the situation.
Meanwhile, Lu Xiao, in the face of all this, seemed outwardly unperturbed, as he continued to eat his steak unhurriedly.
Using his knife and fork effectively, a napkin perfectly folded by his plate, everything was orderly, elegant and natural.
Every move he made conveyed a calm and powerful presence.
Facing all this, Wen Xian just raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly surprised but made no comment.
Feiyu watched every move Lu Xiao made, slightly puzzled and couldn’t help but scoff inwardly.
He’s acting well enough, but just a destitute captain who’s probably never been to such a place in his life.
Right when Lu Xiao finished his steak, he picked up the napkin to dab his mouth, then gestured towards the entrance of the restaurant.
Suddenly, a male manager in his fifties approached from the door. He came up and amiably said to Lu Xiao:
“Boss, did you and your friends enjoy your meal today? Do you need anything else for your friends?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was baffled.
Had they heard that right?
Lu Xiao put down the napkin, glanced at Feiyu who was still standing there, and said lightly:
“See that lady over there? Everyone else’s bills are covered, except for hers.”
With those words, he stood up.
Wen Xian also stood, following by his side.
Meanwhile, those present, aside from Li Xun and a few others, the rest of the crew, including Feiyu, were dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding.
What in the world was going on…?
Wen Xian’s boyfriend, the… owner of this restaurant!?
Even Li Tingze’s expression grew complex in that moment.
The next second, his assistant immediately stepped forward to speak with the manager:
“Excuse me, wasn’t this place booked in advance by our Mr. Li—”
The manager interrupted him, then continued with a polite smile:
“Indeed, Mr. Li had booked it first, but then Young Master Lu arrived.
Young Master Lu is a major director of our restaurant; he insisted that on his territory, he and his future wife should host, and not let others bear the costs.”
At those words, the room once again fell deathly silent…!
