Chapter 6

I didn’t reply.

I just assumed the rich young master had sent it to the wrong person by mistake.

But when I met my bestie for dinner after work, there was an unexpected extra person at the table.

Lu Xiao.

He was dressed casually today in a black t-shirt and cargo pants, his sharp bone structure making him look like a model who had just stepped out of a magazine-handsome and effortlessly cool.

The only problem was his foul mood. He looked like someone had seriously ticked him off. When I greeted him, he just responded with a cold grunt.

My bestie whispered to me, “He called me and insisted on having dinner together. You have no idea, even my dad has to be polite to him, so I couldn’t say no. Please just bear with it, sweetie. I’ll treat you to a big meal tomorrow to make it up to you.”

“It’s fine, I don’t mind.”

My bestie relaxed and urged us to eat.

I glanced at the dishes on the table. They were all expensive, but none of them were things I particularly liked. The only dish I wanted, a crispy meat pie, was right in front of Lu Xiao.

With his icy expression, I really didn’t have the courage to reach across the table for it.

Then, an idea struck me.

While Lu Xiao was chatting with my bestie, I casually leaned forward and swapped the positions of two dishes. I moved the meat pie in front of me and placed the pan-fried sole that had been in front of me in front of him.

Lu Xiao, who had been mid-sentence, paused and glanced at me.

His dark eyes were deep, and the straight line of his lips curved into a slight smile.

For some reason, I felt like the storm clouds that had been hanging over him had finally cleared.

Four words seemed to appear on his handsome face:

[I knew it.]

As he took a bite of the fish, my bestie leaned over and whispered to me, puzzled.

“Sweetie, how did you know Lu Xiao loves fish?”

“?”

I blinked, just as puzzled as she was.

“I didn’t. I just really wanted to eat that meat pie.”

My bestie didn’t ask any more questions, and I didn’t give it another thought.

But in any case, Lu Xiao’s mood had clearly improved. He ate well and even had a few drinks with my friend.

I ate my fill too.

Yes.

A wonderful evening.
