VIP box.
Sheng Yan sat down opposite Fu Lanchen, her eyes lingering briefly on his face before falling on Lin Zhi.
Their eyes met unexpectedly. Lin Zhi felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she quickly asked Sarah to sit in her seat, and she went to sit next to Sheng Yan opposite.
The atmosphere eased slightly, and Sheng Yan completely relaxed.
"Fu Lanchen, I didn't expect you to be obsessed with looks."
With a joking sound, Lin Zhi, who was looking at the menu, turned his gaze away.
She looked across, wondering how Fu Lanchen would answer.
Fu Lanchen also looked at her at this time.
His dark pupils were as quiet and mysterious as the night, and the light that shone from them was fiery and honest.
“Sometimes, it’s not just about looks.”
There's something else behind his words.
Sheng Yan didn’t understand, “Huh?”
But Lin Zhi understood the meaning and handed her the menu. "You often come here to eat. You can order."
Sheng Yan was stunned for a moment, then simply ordered the food.
Sarah didn't understand what the adults said, so she obediently ate the pre-meal snacks prepared by the store.
Fu Lanchen picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself some water. Sheng Yan ordered the meal and looked at him again.
"Fu Lanchen, apart from my slightly inferior appearance to Lin Zhi, how else am I unworthy of you?"
This was asked jokingly.
Lin Zhi didn't mind. She knew Sheng Yan. It was just her unwillingness to see her again after being rejected, and she wanted to get a result.
Fu Lanchen poured water for them respectively, put down the kettle, and did not forget to wipe his daughter's dirty hands with a tissue.
Lin Zhi felt warm in her heart as she looked at his extremely patient appearance.
As expected, once this man becomes a father, his temperament will naturally change from the inside out. Even if he was cold and hard, he will become soft.
This move was noticed not only by Lin Zhi but also by Sheng Yan.
Thinking about how she was about to get married and was disliked by her husband's mother because of her sudden change in status, she couldn't help but feel sad.
But after just a moment, she changed the subject, "Fu Lanchen, I heard that you're also trying to get involved in the film and television industry. I have a project. Would you like to invest in it? The leading actress is Lin Zhi."
Fu Lanchen took a sip of water from the cup and said calmly, "Sure, when will the project start?"
Sheng Yan's face lit up with joy. "The script is finally finished. I came to Hengcheng to scout the location."
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Zhi and asked, "Are you filming a lot?"
"If you start filming now, I'm afraid you won't be able to play the leading female role."
Industry regulations prohibit actors from overlapping roles, as this will damage their reputation.
Sheng Yan said confidently, "Don't worry, it won't be turned on before the New Year."
At this point, she turned to Fu Lanchen and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Lin Zhi was also curious about the answer and looked at Fu Lanchen seriously.
The other party was nonchalant, "Miss Sheng is a good person and should be matched with a better man."
Sheng Yan shrugged and pouted, which made Lin Zhi smile.
The food was served and the conversation ended.
Lin Zhizheng picked up the chopsticks and found Sheng Yan staring at the opposite side in a daze.
So, she followed her line of sight and saw that Fu Lanchen didn't eat himself, but picked up the small bowl added by the waiter and fed Sarah himself.
Sheng Yan noticed that she was also looking at Fu Lanchen and turned her gaze away.
Lin Zhi looked away at this time and smiled at her, but saw envy and loneliness in Sheng Yan's eyes.
The atmosphere was silent again.
Lin Zhi took the initiative to talk, "Are my sister and Sheng Shang living together now?"
"My dad bought them a one-bedroom apartment near Linying School."
"When will Miss Sheng get married?"
As soon as Sheng Yan finished speaking, Fu Lanchen suddenly asked.
"Ahem~"
Lin Zhi thought Sheng Yan would be angry, so he cleared his throat and gave her a look.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Yan not only didn't mind but was enthusiastic: "No, I'll stay single and focus on my career."
As she spoke, she called to the waiter passing by the door, "Waiter, give me a bottle of soju."
The waiter who had already walked by, after confirming it, immediately went to get her some wine.
Lin Zhi was a little surprised.
You know, Sheng Yan used to drink red wine and the like, but now she has started drinking white wine.
The waiter brought a small bottle of soju with three cups.
Sheng Yan only poured two cups and placed one in front of Lin Zhi. "Drink as much as you want. I'll call a designated driver later."
Lin Zhi didn't understand what she meant. He looked at the wine in the clear glass and hesitated.
Sheng Yan had already raised her head and drank it all.
Fu Lanchen, who was sitting opposite her, glanced at her and then looked at Lin Zhi, "Drink less."
Lin Zhi finished chewing the food in his mouth, picked up the wine glass and drank it very elegantly.
"Mommy, I want to drink too."
Sarah thought it was a drink and her eyes lit up.
Fu Lanchen hurriedly stopped him, "That's wine, children can't drink it."
Sarah turned her head and said, "I want a drink."
Lin Zhi ignored the spicy taste in his mouth and said to Fu Lanchen, "Drink the soup. Let her drink more of this chicken soup."
Sarah pouted, her face full of resistance.
But Fu Lanchen really served her some soup, and she obediently took the spoon and drank it herself.
After dinner, Sheng Yan was a little tipsy.
Lin Zhi drank less, but his cheeks were also flushed.
"Where do you live?"
"Don't worry about where I live, but you have to call a designated driver for me."
Sheng Yan handed the phone to Lin Zhi.
Fu Lanchen watched the whole process and did not interfere too much.
After coming out of the restaurant, Lin Zhi helped Sheng Yan into the car and asked the designated driver to take her to a hotel.
Watching the car drive away, she hesitated to get into Fu Lanchen's car, and kept muttering worriedly: "Is it safe for her to go back to the hotel drunk like this?"
Fu Lanchen was in the car, and he opened the window helplessly, "Ms. Lin, if you don't get in the car, how can we know she is safe?"
Sarah also called out to her from the back seat, "Mommy, get in the car quickly."
Lin Zhi realized it later and got into the back seat. Fu Lanchen quickly caught up with Sheng Yan's car and watched her being helped into the hotel by the female staff of the hotel before they left with peace of mind.
On the way back, Fu Lanchen finally couldn't help but be curious, "How did you and Sheng Yan get together?"
Lin Zhi leaned back in his seat, his eyes slightly closed, as if he hadn't heard anything, and didn't respond at all.
Fu Lanchen waited for about a minute or two and looked at her in the rearview mirror.
Lin Zhi suddenly said, "We were college classmates."
"I mean, with her temper, how can you stand it..."
Fu Lanchen didn't finish his words, as if he was afraid of touching on something he shouldn't say.
Lin Zhi, on the other hand, didn't care. "You'll get used to it. She's actually a nice person, just a bit harsh with her words, but she's kind at heart."
Before Fu Lanchen could say anything else, she changed the subject and said, "Fu Lanchen, how's the matter I asked you to help me investigate last time?"
"No news yet."
As Fu Lanchen spoke, the car had already driven to an empty parking space outside the hotel.
Lin Zhi got off the car first and then picked up Sarah.
Unexpectedly, when the car door opened, a cold wind blew in her face, and she was dazed and almost fell down.
Fu Lanchen thought she was drunk and quickly reached out to open the car door.
Lin Zhi shook his head to sober himself up.
