Lin Yan looked at Lu Jinghuai with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. Why didn't she believe what Lu Jinghuai said?
Lu Jinghuai laughed, without further explanation, and changed the subject: "You're not going home tonight, are you going out for dinner?"
Lin Yan was successfully distracted and subconsciously asked, "Why are we going out to eat? What day is it today?"
"It's the date." Lu Jinghuai said indifferently.
Lin Yan paused and glanced at Lu Jinghuai. Lu Jinghuai seemed to be getting more and more accustomed to dating.
Inexplicably, Lin Yan felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't refuse. It was normal for a young couple to go out on a date.
Because it was a sudden decision to go out for dinner, Lin Yan specifically called Liu Ma at home and told her not to prepare dinner for her and Lu Jinghuai.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan also decided on the first stop of their date, a romantic dinner.
However, when entering the restaurant, Lin Yan saw a familiar figure at a glance.
"Is that Ji Mingyuan?" Lin Yan couldn't help but look at the woman opposite Ji Mingyuan. The woman looked gentle and beautiful, but she was not Liao Wen.
Lu Jinghuai seemed to understand Lin Yan's thoughts and answered her doubts without waiting for her to ask.
"Ji Mingyuan is on a blind date recently."
The woman sitting across from Ji Mingyuan was his blind date. What about Liao Wen? Did Liao Wen and Ji Mingyuan break up? Or did Ji Mingyuan go on a blind date without telling Liao Wen? Lin Yan was a little confused.
Lin Yan subconsciously looked at Lu Jinghuai for an answer, and Lu Jinghuai did not let her down and answered directly.
"Ji Mingyuan's mother cares a lot about family background, and Ji Mingyuan's father has more than one son."
The children of Ji Mingyuan's father were not all from Ji Mingyuan's mother. Some were from Ji Mingyuan's father's ex-wife, and some were from other women.
Moreover, Ji Mingyuan's brothers and sisters always want to pull Ji Mingyuan down from the position of heir. The struggles in the Ji family are no simpler than the fight for the throne.
So, it’s okay for Ji Mingyuan and Liao Wen to play around, but it’s impossible for Ji Mingyuan to marry Liao Wen home.
Ji Mingyuan needs his wife's help, but the Liao family is bankrupt. If Ji Mingyuan marries Liao Wen, Liao Wen will not be able to give Ji Mingyuan any help.
For a moment, Lin Yan couldn't help but think of what Liao Wen said last time, that she and Ji Mingyuan would have no future.
So Liao Wen also knew about Ji Mingyuan's situation. Lin Yan opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
In the end, Lin Yan said nothing, but was obviously unhappy. Lu Jinghuai also knew that Lin Yan and Liao Wen had a good relationship. Perhaps because he felt sad for Liao Wen, he squeezed Lin Yan's hand to comfort her.
Ji Mingyuan on the other side seemed to have also seen Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan on this side. He nodded slightly and then looked away without coming over to say hello.
Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan were also taken to the window seats by the waiter. Lin Yan also tried hard to adjust her mood and not look in Ji Mingyuan's direction.
She knew that she was just an ordinary person and had no ability to interfere in other people's lives. As long as Ji Mingyuan was not secretly dating someone else without telling Liao Wen, she had no right to interfere or make any comments.
After the meal, Lu Jinghuai also noticed that Lin Yan was in a bad mood. He didn't say much, but just quietly paid the bill and took her away.
Before leaving, Lin Yan noticed that Ji Mingyuan's seat was vacant.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Yan's expression eased a little, and Lu Jinghuai spoke again.
"It's been a while since we've been to the movies together...are you still going?"
Lin Yan looked at Lu Jinghuai and blinked before she realized that Lu Jinghuai asked this out of consideration for her feelings. He was worried that she would not be in the mood to watch the movie, considering that she had just seen Ji Mingyuan dating someone else and was in a bad mood.
Lin Yan let out a long breath: "Go, why not? It seems that there are several new movies showing in the cinema recently."
Lu Jinghuai's expression also eased a little. At this time, his cell phone lit up. It was a message from Ji Mingyuan.
"I saw you and my sister-in-law at the restaurant just now. I remembered we haven't gotten together in a while. Let's go out for a drink tonight."
"No, I'm on a date with my wife."
Although he knew that Ji Mingyuan asked him out for a drink probably because he was in a bad mood after the blind date, Lu Jinghuai still decisively refused.
What's so good about just having a drink? He is a married man, so why doesn't he accompany his wife and Ji Mingyuan out for a drink?
Moreover, he hasn't blamed Ji Mingyuan for ruining his date tonight. Because of Ji Mingyuan, Lin Yan is in a bad mood tonight.
Although he knew that Lin Yan's depression was not because of Ji Mingyuan, but because of the relationship between Ji Mingyuan and Liao Wen, Lu Jinghuai still couldn't help but feel a little angry at Ji Mingyuan.
Ji Mingyuan, who was rejected, didn't give up and sent another text: "No, do you have any brotherly love? I was forced to go on a blind date today, and not only did you not want to have a drink with me, but you also showed off your affection in front of me. Are you a beast?"
Lu Jinghuai glanced at Ji Mingyuan's message and had no intention of replying again. Ji Mingyuan on the other side was unwilling to give up and called him directly.
Lu Jinghuai hung up the phone directly. However, Lin Yan, who was standing beside him, was a little curious when she heard Lu Jinghuai's phone ringing but he didn't hang up directly.
"Who's calling?"
When the phone rang again, Lu Jinghuai blocked it immediately before looking up and saying calmly, "It's a harassing call."
They arrived at the cinema. Lin Yan didn't think or ask much, and her attention was focused on the promotional advertisement at the entrance of the cinema.
"There's a new comedy coming out. Why don't we watch that?"
"Sure." Lu Jinghuai's original purpose of watching the movie was not to watch the movie, but to watch the movie with Lin Yan, so naturally he would watch whatever Lin Yan said.
After deciding on the movie he wanted to watch, Lu Jinghuai went to queue up to buy tickets. He originally planned to buy only two tickets, but he heard a girl next to him talking on the phone.
"Sister, call me later and tell me you need to go back. I'm really impressed with this blind date today. He was so slow to pay the bill, so I just treated him. We went to the movies together, and he paid for the tickets, but he actually bought two. The waiter asked him if he wanted to buy something to eat, and he told me that popcorn and Coke are unhealthy. He's a stingy guy, so he just watched the movie and didn't eat anything. He might as well go home and watch TV."
Lu Jinghuai paused, and the waiter in front of him said, "Sir, just two movie tickets? Do you need to buy something to eat?"
Lu Jinghuai glanced at the popcorn and other snacks behind the waiter and said, "Yes, give me one."
Lin Yan did not squeeze into the queue, but waited on a chair in the rest area for Lu Jinghuai to come back after buying the ticket. She also brushed up on the plot of the drama she was going to watch, which seemed quite good.
It wasn't until she noticed someone coming and it got dark in front of her that she knew it was Lu Jinghuai who had returned. When she looked up, she saw Lu Jinghuai and the popcorn and Coke in his hands.
Lin Yan hesitated for a moment: "Do you like to eat these?"
[A boss actually likes to eat popcorn and drink Coke, kind of cute.]
