However, not knowing whether her persuasion would be effective, Xu Xinchen did not plan to stay in the coffee shop any longer. If her persuasion was ineffective, she would make room for the older brother to educate the younger brother.
But if her advice actually worked... then she definitely couldn't stay in the coffee shop any longer, since she looked exactly like William's ex-wife.
Shortly after Xu Xinchen stepped out of the coffee shop, someone suddenly caught up with her from behind, repeatedly calling out, "Miss Lu, Miss Lu..."
Xu Xinchen was taken aback and planned to pretend she hadn't heard anyone shouting and walk outside on her own. But the person who had chased after her wasn't going to let her go.
After Xu Xinchen did not respond, the person actually jogged up to her and patted her on the shoulder: "Ms. Lu, I'm sorry, I heard my brother call you that just now. Can I call you that too?"
Now that Xu Xinchen had already been caught up with, she naturally couldn't ignore him anymore. She turned around and nodded slightly to Lem: "Yes, Mr. Lem. May I ask what brings you here?"
When Lem saw Xu Xinchen's face again, he couldn't help but be stunned. Xu Xinchen got goosebumps all over and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he reached out and waved his hand in front of Lem.
"Mr. Lime? Mr. Lime? Is there anything I can help you with? If not, I'll be heading back now."
Lyme was finally pulled out of his thoughts by Xu Xinchen's waving. He looked at Xu Xinchen in shock once again: "Miss Lu, you really look a lot like my sister-in-law."
Xu Xinchen pursed her lips gently. If she could, she didn't want to keep bringing up Mr. William's deceased ex-wife, and she especially didn't want people to say that the two of them looked alike.
“There are many people in this world who look alike, not just your sister-in-law and me. If Mr. Lem has nothing else to say, could you please let me go? I really have to go back.”
Lem paused, then quickly released his grip, a slightly flustered expression on his face: "I'm so sorry, Miss Lu, I just noticed how much you resemble my sister-in-law, and when she was alive, she always defended me in front of the family, so I was just missing her for a moment..."
Xu Xinchen understood everything Lem hadn't finished saying. That was why Lem had been staring blankly at her for so long.
Since the man was reminiscing about his sister-in-law, what could Xu Xinchen say? Of course not, so she could only sigh helplessly again and ask Mr. Lem what he had come out of his way for.
When asked this, Lem finally got to the point: "It's like this, I just heard Miss Lu talking about this design competition in the coffee shop, so I wanted to come out and ask if Miss Lu is also one of the participating designers in this design competition."
Xu Xinchen didn't think there was anything to hide about this. She nodded very frankly: "Yes, I am one of the designers participating in this design competition. I look forward to meeting Mr. Lem on the competition stage."
Lem's face instantly lit up with an excited smile. His impression of Xu Xinchen was originally based on Xu Xinchen.
His face was very similar to his sister-in-law's, and he was very handsome.
Now that he knew that Xu Xinchen shared the same hobbies as him, he was even happier. Regardless of whether Xu Xinchen wanted to or not, he reached out and took Xu Xinchen's hand.
And then he shook it vigorously a few times: "That's great, Miss Lu. I'm also looking forward to meeting you on the field. It'll be soon, just the day after tomorrow. Let's meet on the field the day after tomorrow."
Xu Xinchen awkwardly withdrew her hand, looking somewhat embarrassed. Lem, on the other hand, seemed to only now realize the foolish thing he had just done, and a shy smile appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, I just got a little excited for a moment. I hope you won't take it to heart, Ms. Lu."
Xu Xinchen looked at Lyme, who was standing in front of her and didn't look particularly old. The combined age of her two lifetimes was probably enough to be Lyme's mother.
Therefore, she naturally wouldn't make things difficult for such a small child. Moreover, unlike William, Lyme didn't pose a hidden danger like William, so Xu Xinchen was particularly friendly towards him.
"It's nothing, I won't take it to heart. I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. Lem on the field. I have to go now, goodbye."
When Lem heard what Xu Xinchen said, he was too embarrassed to say anything more, so he could only smile awkwardly and wave at Xu Xinchen: "Goodbye, Miss Lu."
What Xu Xinchen didn't know was that not long after she left, William popped out from the corner and patted Lyme on the shoulder.
"Lem, is Miss Lu also going to participate in this design competition like you?"
Lem impatiently reached out and slapped William's hand off his shoulder: "So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Let me tell you, Miss Lu is Miss Lu, and my sister-in-law is my sister-in-law. Don't confuse the two of them."
William reached up and touched his hair, a confident smile on his face: "Don't worry, my dear Didi, your brother always knows exactly what he wants. You just need to worry about your own things."
Lem frowned slightly and glared impatiently at his brother: "No matter what, Miss Lu is a good person. I hope you won't hurt Miss Lu because of a momentary nostalgia or any other emotion."
William clearly didn't think his brother posed any threat to him. He casually patted Lyme on the shoulder and said to Lyme.
"Don't worry about this matter. Since Miss Lu has already said so, then go and participate in the competition. I'll find a way to help you with things with Father and Mother, and with your brother."
Lem was now even more impatient: "I'll participate in the competition even without your help!"
