What Lu Jingchen was referring to was a dinner with none other than Gu Xicheng, but what Song Qiao hadn’t expected was that, aside from Gu Xicheng, there was also Lin Musen!
The moment Song Qiao saw Lin Musen, she was like someone who had been struck by a pressure point, her smile on her face stiffening until Lin Musen looked at her with a half-smile, after which she stood up, greeting him with an ingratiating smile, "Vice President!"
Lu Jingchen wasn’t surprised that Song Qiao knew Lin Musen. However, Gu Xicheng was quite astonished, glancing back and forth between Song Qiao and Lin Musen, he incredulously asked, "You two know each other?"
Seeing Song Qiao looking so terrified, and comparing it to her usual spirited demeanor, Lin Musen couldn’t help but find her truly adorable. He nodded at Song Qiao, "Song Qiao, sit down, you don’t need to be so afraid of me. We’re not at the company, and besides, Jingchen and I are good brothers!" Having said that, he then sat on the sofa opposite Song Qiao and Lu Jingchen, explaining to Gu Xicheng, "She’s working at my company now, what’s the matter? Got a problem with that?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI~Fire.net
Gu Xicheng didn’t respond to Lin Musen, instead, he observed Song Qiao with great interest and reached out his hand introducing himself, "We haven’t properly introduced ourselves yesterday, so let me introduce myself now, hello, my name is Gu Xicheng, Jingchen’s childhood friend and lifelong buddy!"
Not bad, not bad, the woman across him was quite attractive, and the feeling she gave him at first glance was very comfortable, different from other women!
Since his own brother is getting married, he can only offer his blessings!
Song Qiao laughed graciously, "My name is Song Qiao!"
Hearing Song Qiao say her own name, Gu Xicheng went blank for a moment, subconsciously turning his head towards Lu Jingchen. Just as he was about to speak and voice the question in his heart, his lips moved, but he said nothing, giving Song Qiao an inscrutable look before sitting down!
That was because Lu Jingchen had already shot him a look that seemed to carry a warning. Having grown up together, Gu Xicheng was able to fully understand even the simplest glance from Jingchen!
Lu Jingchen was warning him not to speak out of turn...
At this moment, the waiter came over with the menu, and Lin Musen was the first to take it, declaring, "It’s not every day Jingchen treats us, so we shouldn’t just eat the best, but also the most expensive. Right, Song Qiao?"
When Lin Musen spoke, he was looking directly at Song Qiao, his eyes full of plans for making Lu Jingchen spend a fortune!
Song Qiao was embarrassed, as if she wanted to blurt out, ’Vice President, I just want to be a quiet, pretty girl, you can pretend I’m not here.’ But she didn’t voice this thought, instead, she just smiled a little unnaturally, "The Vice President is right!"
Addressing how Song Qiao referred to him, Lin Musen promptly corrected her, "We’re not at the company here, no need to call me Vice President, just Musen will do!"
Lu Jingchen was sitting right beside Song Qiao all along, one hand laid on the back of the sofa behind her, the other tapping rhythmically on the table. Hearing Lin Musen’s words, his gaze deepened but he remained silent, his fingers that were resting on the back of Song Qiao’s sofa began to twirl her hair playfully!
