His skin had become a shade darker than before, yet it bore an even more intense masculine chill.
At this moment, his gaze swept over the restaurant and he instantly locked onto his target amidst the crowd.
However, the very instant he spotted her, and then when he turned his attention to the person by her side, his eyes suddenly darkened.
After that, he walked straight over.
On the other side, Wen Xian was fuming because of Ruan Yiyi’s words. She took a deep breath, and ultimately, she couldn’t hold back, cursing out, "What kind of woman are you, anyway? If I weren’t pregnant, I’d have snagged that blond, blue-eyed, dashing dancer today. How could I be like you, spouting all this nonsense at me!"
Her voice wasn’t too loud or too soft, but it was enough for the nearby people to faintly catch the words.
Ruan Yiyi’s face changed; she stared intently at her: "Are you serious? Do you like that dancer that much? Even though you’re married?"
Wen Xian had had enough of her and didn’t want her to harbor any more illusions about herself. With a wave of her dainty hand, she retorted with an especially shameless remark:
"So what if I’m married? Is it such a high standard now just to talk about love?"
With those words, Ruan Yiyi: "..."
Now it was her turn to be at a loss for words.
But that was nothing; until now, she had been staring intently at Wen Xian, but at this moment, when she faintly sensed someone coming up behind her and standing still, she couldn’t help but slowly lift her head to look.
And upon that look: "..." Dıscover more novels at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
The motion of her just getting ready to drink from her wine glass was abruptly halted.
She maintained that pose, motionless.
With a numb expression, in a daze.
Wen Xian saw her reaction and hadn’t even processed it yet, thinking she was shocked by her own words, and couldn’t help but add:
"What, you don’t believe me? If you don’t, I’ll go get that guy’s contact info right now. Don’t think I’m a good person—I’m really not." She’d say anything to make her stop liking her.
Having said that, she was going to get up.
With her pregnant belly, it was somewhat difficult for her to rise.
She pushed her chair back a bit, one hand on her belly, the other looking for something to lean on to stand up, but at that moment, a helping hand was extended from behind her.
Wen Xian struggled to her feet and gratefully grasped the hand, uttering, "Thanks a lot, such a kind-hearted person..."
She smiled politely and turned to look at the person behind her.
The instant her gaze met theirs, her pupils dilated and she was stunned.
The entire restaurant seemed to fall into silence, her own breathing no longer audible.
Her heart stopped beating.
Ruan Yiyi put down her wine glass and stood up to leave without a word, "I can’t do that kind of thing. I’m leaving."
She watched the cold, stern face she knew all too well, and those deep, unfathomable eyes, and she couldn’t help but close her eyes, biting her teeth hard, clenching her fists.
She couldn’t do it either; she wasn’t that kind of person!
"Do you kind-hearted person’s looks?" the man in front of her said, his voice slowly falling.
Indifferent to joy, anger, sorrow, or delight.
Wen Xian’s mouth twitched, she was on the verge of tears, "Husband, let me explain..."
She was more wronged than Dou E!
The person who had appeared before her was none other than Lu Xiao!
He had ended his task early and come back.
Without notifying anyone in advance, he’d returned just like that—
