"When I saw Li Chuxia nearly explode in anger, I almost wanted to clap my hands."
Manman chuckled, clearly satisfied.
Before getting off work in the evening, Han Xi called Lu Jinghan to say she was going to dinner with Chu Ci and the others, so he shouldn’t bother picking her up.
After hanging up, Han Xi changed her clothes and headed out.
As she walked out of the hospital, Han Xi couldn’t help but shiver. She tightened her coat and quickly dashed across the street to Chu Ci’s car.
The heater inside the car was on high, and Han Xi brushed her wind-tossed hair behind her ear: "What are we going to eat?"
"How about barbecue? Barbecue fits this cold weather perfectly." Manman put down her phone and looked up.
Chu Ci turned the steering wheel onto the main road, floored the accelerator, and the car sped away. The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at a fancy-looking barbecue restaurant that Manman often visits. The three got out of the car and went inside.
As soon as they entered, they saw Lu Jinghan, Feng Yi, and Fu Bin.
Lu Jinghan walked over with a gentle smile and took his wife’s hand: "Since you’re not home, I came out with them."
Fu Bin, leaning casually against the wall with one hand in his pocket, smirked teasingly: "Jinghan, does your little sister-in-law keep such a tight watch? Even this needs to be reported."
Han Xi blushed slightly and lowered her head, knowing that Fu Bin loved to tease.
Lu Jinghan gave Fu Bin a glare: "I think you’re just jealous."
Manman playfully hooked her arm around Feng Yi’s and chimed in: "Exactly, exactly, you’re the only one still single. Keep sulking."
Fu Bin lazily arched an eyebrow: "There’s no shortage of women who want to be with me. I’ll bring someone over tomorrow just to stop you all from showing off."
"I’ll be looking forward to it."
"Manman, didn’t I help you chase this guy before? Now you’re showing no gratitude at all. What a heartless little ingrate."
Fu Bin teased leisurely, raising an eyebrow at Feng Yi.
Manman sneered slyly: "I’m just thinking of your lifelong happiness. It’s called caring, how does that make me an ingrate?"
"Caring for me? I don’t really feel that."
"Oh, stop it. I said it’s caring, so it’s caring. If you can’t feel it, that’s low emotional intelligence on your part."
Manman, still talking, pulled Feng Yi to sit at the table.
The others all sat down as well. After ordering, Han Xi went to the restroom, and when she returned, the food had already been served, and everyone was chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.
Lu Jinghan placed some grilled meat and shrimp dipped in sauce onto Han Xi’s plate: "Eat up."
Beside them, Chu Ci took a sip of juice and whispered in Han Xi’s ear: "You guys are so lovey-dovey... it’s sickeningly sweet. How can Lu Jinghan be so good to you?"
Whether from the heating or shyness, Han Xi’s cheeks turned red: "Eating doesn’t shut your mouth."
Manman looked at Feng Yi with a hint of grievance and mumbled: "Look at Lu Jinghan, he knows how to grill meat for Han Xi, what about mine?"
Feng Yi shook his head, speechless: "I’ll grill for you."
"You’re such a drama queen."
Chu Ci picked up a piece of grilled meat and put it in her mouth, her red lips curling slightly upwards.
"How am I being dramatic? It’s clearly someone not knowing how to pamper me."
