“You know there are many older men marrying younger women, so you should also know that such relationships are often criticized.” Lu Wanzheng removed her hand from her face.
"Oh dear, you guys are different."
"Brother Yue is a good person, but we're not a good match. I already have Mr. Xiao, and he treats me very well. Please don't let him know what you're saying, or he'll get jealous."
Lu Wanzheng immediately gave Zhong Yunyue a "good person" card.
“I know you two have a good relationship. I’m just worried that Xiao Qifeng will bully you. He’s a big CEO, after all. It would be easy for him to bully you. You’d be all alone and helpless then, and all you could do would be sing ‘Little Cabbage’ (a popular Chinese folk song).”
An Ruoning linked arms with Lu Wanzheng, saying sweet words to her.
The two were chatting, completely unaware that Zhong Yunyue in front of them had a dim and forlorn look in his eyes.
He heard Lu Wanzheng give him the "friend card," and he also heard that they weren't suited to be together, only to be friends.
He gave a wry smile and sighed. "Friends are friends, at least I know she's happy."
Once in the car, Han Xi greeted people from inside, "Anyone want to grab some barbecue tonight?"
After a day of working together, Wei Tianyu and Han Xi became very close, and he raised his hand, saying, "I'll go."
“I’m going too,” said An Ruoning, Ji He, and several others. Even Zhong Yunyue, who had been silent since getting on the bus, spoke up.
Han Xi had already asked Wang Xiyou, so she didn't ask again. Instead, she looked at Lu Wanzheng and asked, "Wanzheng, are you going?"
Lu Wanzheng shook her head and said regretfully, "Sorry, Brother Han, I've booked a flight for tonight and I need to pack my things to go to the airport soon. Let's meet up another time."
Zhong Yunyue, who had just said she would go, suddenly lost interest in tonight's barbecue.
Back at the hotel, Xiao Hua and Yao Zijun had already packed all of Lu Wanzheng's things, even the rice cakes they had bought were packed into the suitcase.
The three of them got into a taxi and headed to the airport.
It's only a little past five o'clock now, but as the weather gets colder, summer is over, and autumn is almost halfway through, the days are gradually getting shorter.
The sky was now ablaze with the colors of sunset—pink, orange, and yellow—a beautiful sight to behold.
Lu Wanzheng rested her chin on her hand, looking out the car window.
It was rush hour, and outside the car window, traffic and pedestrians flowed in an endless stream.
I bought the plane ticket quite late; it's a 10 PM flight, the only flight tonight, and it will take about two hours to get to Kyoto Airport.
Lu Wanzheng hadn't eaten anything all day except for a biscuit and a rice cake in town, and she was starving by now.
"I had read some travel guides about this airport before, and the food there is really good."
Xiao Hua held her phone and looked at Lu Wanzheng beside her. On the phone was a list of delicious food that Lu Wanzheng had compiled.
"What kind of food do you have?" Lu Wanzheng didn't turn her head, her eyes fixed on the scenery outside the car window. At this time, Mr. Xiao should be getting off work and probably on his way home.
Yao Zijun listened intently, her ear tucked in. She had consulted an old woman about her marriage prospects today, and she was in an exceptionally good mood. When you're in a good mood, your appetite tends to increase, and right now she was so happy she could eat a whole pig.
Xiao Hua tilted her head and brought out the shops she had listed. "These shops all have ratings of 4.8 to 5 stars. Which one do you want to eat at, Sister Wanzheng?"
Lu Wanzheng pursed her lips. She wanted to eat at all the restaurants Xiaohua had recommended, and was a little conflicted. After a moment of silence, she parted her red lips slightly and said, "Anything is fine."
Lu Wanzheng's casualness was genuinely just casualness, not the kind of casualness used to test her boyfriend.
Having been by Lu Wanzheng's side for so long, Xiaohua has figured her out. It seems that Sister Wanzheng doesn't know which one to choose, so she and Sister Yao are the ones to decide.
Finally, Xiaohua chose a noodle shop. She heard that the soup in this shop was made with pork bones and was very nutritious. The noodles were all handmade.
The three of them arrived at the airport and went straight to the noodle shop. When they left, Xiaohua was holding her back as she went out.
Their flight was on time tonight, and they boarded at 10 p.m.
