Lu Jingchen would have been better off not saying anything; as soon as he did, Song Qiao’s face slowly began to turn red, wishing she could just bury her head under the table.
Across from her, Gu Xicheng, seeing the interaction between the two, was curious about how Lu Jingchen came to marry Song Qiao, but he had to admit that there was a very comfortable aura about Song Qiao. However, as soon as he thought about Song Qiao’s identity, he felt his mood turning a bit complex...
After ordering their food, Lin Musen looked up to see Song Qiao with her head down and face flushed. Unlike Gu Xicheng’s silence, Lin Musen directly teased with a smile, "What are you two whispering about? Jingchen, are you bullying Little Qiao? Look how red you’ve made her face..."

Hearing Lin Musen’s words, Song Qiao felt even more embarrassed, wishing she could just find a hole to crawl into.
Lu Jingchen glanced at him indifferently and spoke in a tone neither salty nor light, "If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!"
Lin Musen chuckled, shrugged his shoulders with an air of nonchalance, and didn’t take Lu Jingchen’s warning look to heart at all. He acted as if he hadn’t seen it, "But if I don’t speak, I’ll start thinking I’m the mute!"
"I think you’d be quite suited to being a mute yourself!"
"How could that be?" Lin Musen grinned broadly, his voice hearty, "Life is so beautiful, and being able to speak is one of its great joys. Look, by speaking now, I can even lighten up the atmosphere. Wouldn’t it be more awkward if we all sat in silence? Little Qiao, don’t you think so?"
Seeing Song Qiao looking like she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, Lin Musen couldn’t resist the urge to tease her a bit more.
Moreover, it seemed that Lu Jingchen’s feelings for Song Qiao were more than ordinary. Considering how, for so many years, Lu Jingchen had felt this way about that woman?
Besides, everyone knew that Lu Jingchen was not fond of women getting too close to him, but now it seemed that he and Song Qiao were not only close, but also appeared to be very intimate.
As for Song Qiao, Lin Musen’s first impression of the young lady was quite good, especially when he first met Song Qiao. That instant natural favorability didn’t even require getting to know her—all it took was just seeing her.
This might just be what they call ’good affinity’.
Song Qiao hadn’t expected Lin Musen to throw the question at her, and she felt awkward, but still responded with a smile, "You’re right!"
Actually, she would have preferred to be a quiet invisible person, perfectly fine with everyone acting as if she didn’t exist. But somehow, Lin Musen seemed to have latched onto her firmly, including her in every topic of conversation, making her feel like she was being dragged into a pit of fire.
Perhaps it was because of Lu Jingchen and the others, the restaurant, which was originally full of patrons waiting for their food, and many who had arrived before them, began serving their ordered dishes progressively within merely about ten minutes.
After the meal, Song Qiao finally understood why this restaurant was the most famous and expensive in An City—the delicious food was so good she couldn’t stop eating.
All four of them enjoyed the meal, but Song Qiao was undoubtedly the most satisfied.
However, it has to be said, aside from the initial discomfort and embarrassment, being with Lin Musen and the others wasn’t too bad. At least she found that these three legendary men didn’t put on any airs, and throughout the meal, they were all caring for her, the only female present.
