Shang Wu lowered her eyes, calmly sat in the passenger seat, and opened the restaurant introduction as usual to check out the signature dishes.
Throughout the journey, Zhou Yanci appeared absent-minded, frequently checking his watch and even fidgeting with his tie when encountering red lights.
It's like they're afraid someone in the restaurant might run away.
Shang Wu knew that she was being used by Zhou Yanci as a tool to provoke his white moonlight.
but……
Who says she was necessarily the one being used?
Shang Wu smiled slightly, logged into her alternate account, and sent a private message to the paparazzi in Lincheng who loved marketing hype the most.
[There's a big surprise at Changqing Restaurant, come quick!]
"Who are you chatting with? You seem to be having a lot of fun."
Zhou Yanci asked with a smile.
Shang Wu exited the chat interface, her tone nonchalant: "A classmate."
Seeing the sign for Changqing Restaurant, she gestured for Zhou Yanci to stop the car and get out first.
While Zhou Yanci was backing the car into the parking space, Shang Wu took another picture of the license plate and sent it to the paparazzi.
The president of Chengzhou Group, Altkelman, is one of only ten units produced worldwide; everyone knows him.
The chat box finally displayed "typing".
The other party replied instantly: 【Thanks, I'll go right now.】
Shang Wu put her phone in her pocket, and when she looked up, she saw Zhou Yanci standing by the car, staring motionlessly into the restaurant.
Following Zhou Yanci's gaze, she finally saw the legendary slumbering figure.
The woman is sweet-looking, and if it weren't for her more mature clothing and appearance, she could easily be mistaken for someone in their early twenties.
She was sitting alone by the window eating, her movements elegant and gentle.
Zhou Yanci stared intently at the woman, his eyes filled with resentment and anger, but even more so with love and possessiveness.
Over the years, Shang Wu had witnessed Zhou Yanci's gentle and affectionate demeanor and thought he was a polite, considerate, and upright gentleman.
Seeing Zhou Yanci in front of someone she truly likes, I realize how pretentious and hypocritical she is.
When he's with someone he likes, he's like an uncontrollable wolf.
Just as he was plotting to take over the business, he was also scheming step by step to use her to lure his white moonlight back into the trap.
That's really... disgusting.
Shang Wu curled her red lips into a smile: "Yan Ci, what are you looking at? Aren't you going in?"
Zhou Yanci snapped out of his daze, took her hand tightly, and walked into the restaurant.
The door opened and hit the wind chimes, making a clattering sound.
Once Chenmian, who was sitting at the table, turned her head, her gaze was fixed on him.
She put down her knife and fork, looking dejected, and took a few steps forward.
"Ah, Ah Ci!"
Zhou Yanci paused, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the sleeping man's eyes were cold and distant.
"Miss Shen, it's been a long time."
Shang Wu's hand was gripped so tightly by him that she almost cried out in pain.
She pinched Zhou Yanci's hand.
Zhou Yanci then loosened her grip.
Shen Mian, sitting opposite, had tears in her eyes. She looked at Shang Wu and asked, "Is she the one you're about to marry?"
Shang Wu feigned confusion: "You are..."
Zhou Yanci's expression tightened: "Stranger."
The slumber seemed to have been greatly affected and was teetering on the brink of collapse.
Zhou Yanci squeezed Shang Wu's hand again: "Let's go, let's go eat."
"A-Ci!" Chenmian lost her composure, grabbing his sleeve. "We haven't seen each other for so long, are you really going to be so heartless? You won't even let us catch up."
The surrounding diners had already turned to look, their gazes filled with gossip.
Shang Wu didn't want to get involved, so she broke free from Zhou Yanci's hand and said, "It seems you two need to talk alone. I'm going upstairs first."
She turned and left.
Zhou Yanci frowned slightly, unable to resist looking at Shang Wu's back.
At this moment, even though his mind was completely focused on how to vent his anger on Chenmian, he still lifted his foot to chase after her.
It seems that these past three years of feigning deep affection have become an unconscious habit.
Zhou Yanci clenched her fists with restraint and glanced coldly at Chen Mian: "Don't bother me. You were the one who abandoned me first. Who are you trying to fool with this pitiful act?"
He didn't look at Chenmian again and followed her upstairs.
Chenmian stood there, pale-faced, biting her lip, looking embarrassed, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
No.
Since Zhou Yanci is still angry that she left without saying goodbye, it means that she still has feelings for her.
She won't lose!
Chenmian picked up the untouched wine and followed.
Inside the private room, Shang Wu sat at the table playing on her phone, not even looking up when she heard the noise.
"Did you finish catching up with your ex-girlfriend?"
Zhou Yanci froze, not expecting that she would know about the existence of the Sleeping One.
However, he only had one romantic relationship.
Zhou Yanci smiled, leaned down, and gently rubbed her chin against the top of her head: "Don't be angry, Shen Mian and I are nothing, it's all in the past."
Shang Wu looked up at the figure outside the private room and pushed Zhou Yanci away.
"That would be best."
Zhou Yanci saw Chenmian and got up.
"Why did you follow me here?"
There was a hint of barely perceptible pleasure in his words.
Chenmian smiled bitterly, her eyes reddening: "It's been three years since we last met. We're old acquaintances, after all. Seeing you and Miss Shang in such a loving relationship, and with good news on the horizon, I'm happy for you. I've come over to toast you."
Zhou Yanci's expression gradually darkened.
"Are you sincere about what you're saying?"
Chenmian forced a smile and said, "Otherwise what?"
"Okay." Zhou Yanci smiled and poured himself a glass of wine. "Thank you for your kind words."
Chenmian looked at Shang Wu and said, "Miss Shang, please have a drink with us."
Zhou Yanci didn't say anything, which meant he agreed.
Shang Wu had no choice but to pick up his wine and clink glasses with Chen Mian.
Just as the two wine glasses were about to touch, the sleeping hand shifted slightly.
Shang Wu downed a glass of wine, spilling it all over Shen Mian, with some also splashing onto herself.
She cried out in alarm, her clothes soaked through, her private parts barely concealed.
