Because Song Qiao fell asleep in his office and couldn’t be woken by any means, he was too concerned to leave for lunch in the middle of the day!
Watching Lu Jingchen’s back as he headed straight for the door, Song Qiao was at a loss whether to follow him or not, just standing there hesitating and feeling uneasy!
Noticing that Song Qiao hadn’t followed, Lu Jingchen stopped his steps, glanced at her with an indifferent look, and spoke in a deep and soothing voice—not asking but affirming, "You didn’t have lunch either as you were sleeping all afternoon; you must be hungry by now, come and have lunch with me!"
They had just married yesterday, so they hadn’t had a meal together yet!
Song Qiao waved her hands subconsciously, still standing motionless, "I’m not hungry!"
Yet her stomach seemed to betray her, rumbling with hunger just as she spoke. The sound was neither loud nor soft but was just enough for Lu Jingchen, not too far away, to hear!
Song Qiao, "..." Mortified, she wished she could just burrow into a hole and hide!
With one hand draped over his suit jacket and the other in his pocket, Lu Jingchen looked exceedingly noble. The two words resonated deeply from his throat, "Let’s go!"
Embarrassed, Song Qiao’s face reddened as she clenched her teeth before finally following behind Lu Jingchen, walking out of the office together! Follow current novels on n0velfire.net
Sitting in the car, Song Qiao sat in the passenger’s seat like a diligent student, seemingly calm on the surface but feeling like she was on pins and needles inside!
Neither spoke along the way, but Song Qiao noticed that Lu Jingchen wasn’t as cold and distant as she had heard; instead, she felt a sense of safety even just sitting in the same car!
This sudden feeling made Song Qiao’s lips twitch, chastising herself for overthinking things—after all, they were about to get a divorce, so what did his being safe matter to her!
Lu Jingchen chose a rather famous restaurant in An City. Song Qiao decided that after the meal, she would find an opportunity to discuss the divorce with Lu Jingchen; it seemed she was determined to go through with it!
What she didn’t expect was that even going out for a meal, she would encounter such an awkward situation. Lu Jingchen went to park the car, asking her to enter the restaurant and wait for him. However, just as she was about to approach the entrance, she saw Song Xi as well as her ex-boyfriend... Gu Linyuan, also heading toward the restaurant door!
Seeing Song Xi and Gu Linyuan also stop in their tracks upon seeing her, Song Qiao really wanted to look up at the blue sky and howl, ’I actually forgot to check the almanac before going out today!’
Song Xi was the first to recover, stepping forward to confront Song Qiao with a sharp voice filled with resentment, "Song Qiao, what are you doing here? This is the most expensive restaurant in Beijing; don’t you know that? Are you aware that a single meal here costs as much as your monthly living expenses? Can you afford it? Don’t come here and make a fool of yourself, okay??"
