Soon, the dishes were served, and Liu Xiaoyuan asked Lu Siyao if she wanted anything to drink.
Lu Siyao shook her head and said no, she was starving after a long day at work and wanted to eat first.
Liu Xiaoyuan asked the waiter to bring the food up, and the two of them started eating with their bowls and chopsticks.
"This dish is really well cooked, it's delicious." Lu Siyao, like a greedy child, picked up a piece of cured meat and put it in her mouth, showing no trace of ladylike manners.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan liked girls like Lu Siyao, who were genuine and unpretentious.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Liu Xiaoyuan watched Lu Siyao eat and found it a pleasure.
Lu Siyao puffed out her cheeks and said, "I'm afraid you, you bad guy, will try to take it from me!"
The two ate and chatted, appearing to outsiders to be a loving couple.
The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful; they are a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
"Siyao, what a coincidence, you're eating here too?" Just then, a man's voice rang in Liu Xiaoyuan's ear.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan turned his head and saw a young man of about twenty-four or twenty-five years old standing to the side, smiling at Lu Siyao, completely ignoring Liu Xiaoyuan.
The man was dressed head to toe in designer brands; even his leather shoes alone were worth several thousand dollars.
"Zeng Jiangyun, what a coincidence!" Upon seeing the man named Zeng Jiangyun, Lu Siyao immediately put down her chopsticks and stood up with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan could tell that Lu Siyao's smile seemed a bit forced, as if it wasn't from the heart.
"And who is this?" It was only then that Zeng Jiangyun noticed Liu Xiaoyuan sitting opposite Lu Siyao.
Lu Siyao said, "He's a friend of mine named Liu Xiaoyuan."
"Hello!" Liu Xiaoyuan stood up and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with the other person.
Zeng Jiangyun glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan as if facing a formidable enemy, because he discovered that Liu Xiaoyuan was even more handsome than himself, which was quite dangerous!
Zeng Jiangyun is pursuing Lu Siyao, but Lu Siyao ignores him. Several times, Zeng Jiangyun tried to ask Lu Siyao out for a meal, but she refused each time.
Now, Lu Siyao is actually eating with this man, chatting and laughing together; it's clearly not normal.
Fortunately, Zeng Jiangyun noticed that Liu Xiaoyuan's clothes were all very cheap, which put Zeng Jiangyun at ease.
Hmph! You poor wretch dare to try and steal my woman? You're not worthy!
"Hello!" Zeng Jiangyun's eyes clearly showed a hint of hostility and disdain.
People respect each other. Liu Xiaoyuan could read disdain and hostility in Zeng Jiangyun's eyes, so he naturally wouldn't offer his smile to someone who was being snubbed.
"Siyao, you're only eating these three dishes? That's too frugal!" Zeng Jiangyun said, glancing at Liu Xiaoyuan with his eyes.
Actually, Zeng Jiangyun said this to Liu Xiaoyuan, saying that Liu Xiaoyuan was too stingy and that if he didn't have money, he shouldn't invite girls to dinner.
Lu Siyao naturally understood the underlying meaning of Zeng Jiangyun's words. Originally, Lu Siyao didn't have much affection for Zeng Jiangyun, but she only paid attention to him because her father and Zeng Jiangyun's father were business partners.
However, Zeng Jiangyun unexpectedly made a veiled insult to Liu Xiaoyuan, which angered Lu Siyao. After all, she, Lu Siyao, had ordered the dish herself; what did it have to do with Liu Xiaoyuan?
Liu Xiaoyuan retorted directly, "It depends on who you eat with. If you eat with someone as annoying as a fly, even if there are delicacies in front of you, you will have no taste for them."
"By the way, I don't like it when a fly is buzzing around in front of me while I'm eating!"
Liu Xiaoyuan's words were an insult to Zeng Jiangyun, calling him a nasty fly!
Upon hearing this, Zeng Jiangyun's face changed with anger, but since Lu Siyao was present, it would seem that he was too uncultured to lose his temper.
So Zeng Jiangyun suppressed his anger and forced a smile as he invited Lu Siyao: "Siyao, I invited you to dinner the last few times, but you didn't have time. Today we happen to meet, and I have a few friends over there. Why don't you do me the honor of coming with me?"
Lu Siyao sat back down in her chair and said, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment. I apologize!"
Zeng Jiangyun clenched his fist in anger, glared at Liu Xiaoyuan, and then forced a smile at Lu Siyao, saying, "Siyao, then I won't bother you anymore, goodbye."
"Goodbye!" Lu Siyao said goodbye without even looking up, and continued eating her meal.
Watching Zeng Jiangyun's retreating figure, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Zeng Jiangyun was pursuing Lu Siyao, but Lu Siyao clearly wasn't interested in him. Now that Zeng Jiangyun had run into him and Lu Siyao having dinner here, he must see him as a rival.
Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't worried at all about Zeng Jiangyun treating him as a rival in love, because now that he had the God-level Invincible System in hand, Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't afraid of trash like Zeng Jiangyun at all!
"Liu Xiaoyuan, you'd better be careful of Zeng Jiangyun in the future, understand?" After a moment of silence, Lu Siyao suddenly spoke up.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Lu Siyao was worried that Zeng Jiangyun would retaliate against her because of what happened tonight.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile and a nod.
The current Liu Xiaoyuan is not the same Liu Xiaoyuan as before. The current Liu Xiaoyuan has a god-level invincible system in his hands. If Zeng Jiangyun dares to come for revenge, Liu Xiaoyuan will definitely let him know why the flowers are so red!
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's relaxed expression, Lu Siyao thought he hadn't taken her words to heart, so she reminded him again: "Liu Xiaoyuan, I'm telling you the truth. This Zeng Jiangyun's family is rich and powerful, not some small-time thug like Brother Qiang. If he causes you any trouble in the future, call me immediately, okay? Don't be reckless."
"Understood, Siyao!" Although Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Lu Siyao said this entirely out of guilt, he was still secretly delighted. After all, not everyone could enjoy being cared for by a beauty like Lu Siyao.
After dinner, Liu Xiaoyuan originally wanted to ride his bike to take Lu Siyao home, but Lu Siyao said, "My home isn't far from here, and I ate a lot tonight. What if I gain weight if I don't digest it?"
"It's alright, you women are just considered voluptuous when you're fat," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"I don't want to be voluptuous, I need to be slim!" Lu Siyao twirled proudly in front of Liu Xiaoyuan, looking absolutely gorgeous.
Since Lu Siyao wanted to walk, Liu Xiaoyuan was naturally more than happy to oblige, saying, "Beautiful lady, look how dark it is, let me be your protector!"
Lu Siyao laughed and said, "Let's go, my protector!"
As Yang Zihan watched Lu Siyao and Liu Xiaoyuan's retreating figures in the lobby, her heart ached again, and she suddenly felt like crying.
The night took away the heat of the day, and a cool night breeze blew in from time to time, which was very pleasant.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao walked side by side on the road, slowly, like a couple taking a stroll.
However, couples usually hold hands while walking, but Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao's hands were a distance apart.
Although the distance is short, it will take time to cross it!
