When Liu Ruyun saw Lin An take the initiative to start a conversation, a hint of smugness flashed across her face. She knew that no man could escape her grasp.
"Shengwei Restaurant is just outside this street." As Liu Ruyun spoke, she unconsciously swayed her body slightly, her rounded breasts brushing against Lin An's strong arm intentionally or unintentionally.
"What a coincidence! My mom also booked this place. Let's go together."
Lin An smiled broadly, feeling the touch on his arm, and couldn't help but admire him. "He's so good at handling things. If he were a live streamer, he would be incredibly popular."
When Leng Lin saw the two of them approaching, chatting and laughing, her face turned cold, and she showed hostility towards Liu Ruyun in her eyes. She was annoyed and thought to herself, "We're having a family meal, why are you getting involved?"
Lin An keenly sensed the change in Leng Lin's emotions. His chest tightened, and painful memories etched deep in his heart surged up. "My little darling, please don't be angry."
Lin An took three steps at a time, putting half a meter between himself and Liu Ruyun, and quickly walked up to Leng Lin, explaining:
"We just ran into Liu. Her mom booked the same restaurant as our mom, so we'll go together since we're going the same way. Let's go."
Upon hearing that it was just a short walk together, Leng Lin's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and she smiled and nodded to Liu Ruyun as a greeting.
Liu Ruyun gently covered her mouth, feigning surprise, displaying the demeanor of a scheming woman: "Ah? You have the same mother?"
Lin An hurriedly explained, "I recognized her mother as my godmother, so in name I'm like a mother to her."
He emphasized the word "in name only" heavily, stressing that everything was just in name only, that the two were not related by blood and were not actually siblings, for fear that Leng Lin would be unhappy about it.
Liu Ruyun walked past Lin An and said to Leng Lin with a light smile, "Is that so? You two are quite destined to be together. No wonder I always thought you were like siblings."
Upon hearing this, Lin An almost fainted. Couldn't they have stopped bringing up the most sensitive topics?
Her words were very skillful, subtly putting down Leng Lin. Lin An has always treated you like a younger sister, and I have never considered you as an opponent.
Faced with this subtle provocation, Leng Lin clearly didn't know how to respond. Her small face contorted in distress, and she looked like she wanted to stomp her feet. Lin An quickly spoke up for her:
"I don't think so. How could I possibly have such a beautiful younger sister?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyun stopped laughing, while Leng Lin smiled. This was the first time Lin An had ever complimented her on her looks to her face.
After saying that, Lin An very consciously took the file bag from Leng Lin's hand and helped the girl carry the bag, which was also a clear indication of his attitude.
Liu Ruyun snorted inwardly. She felt she was a hundred times prettier than Leng Lin, who had a chubby face. If there was anything she couldn't compare to Leng Lin, it was that Leng Lin was very fair-skinned.
She has the typical cool-toned fair skin, which shines brightly in the sunlight, making her stand out in a crowd.
Undeterred by her initial rebuff, Liu Ruyun immediately replied, "Lin is handsome too."
As she spoke, she waved her fair forearm and gently punched Lin An's left arm.
The gentle, soft little fist landed on his body, making Lin An tremble with fear. He quickly glanced at Leng Lin beside him, thankfully the little girl hadn't seen it.
Now, Lin An is sandwiched between Liu Ruyun on his left and Leng Lin on his right, feeling extremely tormented.
Even though Leng Lin and Liu Ruyun weren't familiar with each other before, girls of the same age usually have a lot to talk about.
But along the way, the two girls seemed to be competing with each other, each only talking to him and not exchanging words with each other.
At this moment, Lin An couldn't help but want to make a friend, the love guru Yu Yuntian.
Xu Mo once said that on May 20th, Master Yu took three girls out shopping at the same time, and everyone had a great time. In the evening, he was even able to meet Lin Rou at the hotel. His coordination and time management skills are truly admirable.
The three walked for seven or eight minutes, and just as the sign for Shengwei Restaurant came into view, Lin An felt relieved. But then Liu Ruyun threw out a fatal question:
"Tonight, our grade is having a graduation dinner. The parents' committee has booked a whole party venue for us. We can eat and have fun. I'm even planning to dance for everyone. Lin An, are you coming?"
Lin An thought to himself, "Damn it! You invited me, but why bring up dancing? It's like I'm going there just to see you do the splits."
These high school seniors, after three years of hard work, are finally free and want to indulge themselves. Their parents are also willing to spend money to reward them.
However, as a company CEO worth hundreds of millions, he had little interest in watching kids venting their youth.
But if I could show off in front of all my classmates and make Liu Ruyun follow me wholeheartedly, and earn another small goal for myself, wouldn't that be wonderful!
Lin An turned his head to the right and asked Leng Lin with a grin, "Linlin, are you going or not?"
“I promised my classmate I would go,” Leng Lin replied.
"If you go, I'll go too." Lin An breathed a sigh of relief. He had turned the issue into a perfect situation. In Leng Lin's eyes, Lin An was going there for her sake.
Liu Ruyun created an opportunity for herself to see Lin An again, and she was quite satisfied with that.
Lin An turned his head to the left and said to Liu Ruyun, "But I might be a little late. I have things to take care of after the exam."
The three of them arrived at the restaurant entrance, and Liu Ruyun said in a flattering tone:
"It's okay. Everyone will probably stay out late, so it's fine if you come a little late. I can wait for you to come before I perform the dance."
Hearing her bring up dancing again, Leng Lin's face, which had just calmed down, showed a hint of anger once more.
Lin An felt a cold sweat break out inside him. "Liu Ruyun, just keep acting up. One day, when the girl gets angry and punches you, you'll behave."
He quickly replied, "Liu, my mom is waiting for us upstairs. See you later."
After saying that, he pulled Leng Lin into the hotel's VIP private room.
Liu Ruyun looked at the several black-clad bodyguards guarding the private room and her face lit up with joy.
It seems that Lin An is no longer the same Lin who lived in the old house back then; having bodyguards when going out is now standard for the top tycoons.
She secretly made up her mind that she must win over Lin An.
