Youyou was particularly enthusiastic, clapping her hands and saying, "Great!"
The cell phone suddenly rang. Xia Xi took it out and saw the restaurant location sent by Lu Mingji. Then she remembered that she had an appointment with Lu Mingji to have dinner together in the evening!
She came back to pick up her child...
Xia Xi covered her forehead with one hand, looked at Su Jinru and her grandmother who were busy in the kitchen, then looked at Zhou Du who treated this place as his own home, and finally chose to confess: "Well, I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with someone tonight."
Zhou Du looked up at her, his cheekbone raised and one eye squinted. Although he didn't say anything, his expression said: No way, you come up with such a poor excuse, how much do you not want to have dinner with me?
"I'm not." Xia Xi was completely speechless and simply showed Zhou Du the screen of her phone. "I wasn't kidding you. I really had an appointment with someone, and when I came back and saw you here, I forgot about it."
On the screen, in addition to the restaurant location, Lu Mingji also sent two messages.
Lu Mingji: "I read the reviews and this one is the best."
Lu Mingji: "When will you come over?"
Zhou Du's eyes locked onto the name in the note, and as if thinking, he murmured, "Lu, Ming, Ji, why does this name sound so familiar?"
Xia Xi explained: "He is my boss. I mentioned him to you before."
Zhou Du nodded. He had indeed heard her talk about Lu Mingji, her senior at the University of London. "He's pursuing you?"
Xia Xi blinked rapidly, shocked by his words: "No, where did you get that conclusion? Why are you talking nonsense?"
"If he's not pursuing you, then why would he waste his Friday leisure time and ask you out for dinner?" Zhou Du stretched out his long legs, his hands clasped behind his head, and leaned back on the sofa, saying leisurely, "Don't be nervous. I'm not your mother, I won't rush you into marriage. You said you haven't had a man for so many years, and now you finally have one, I have to check it out for you."
Xia Xi rolled her eyes: "You are not a man?"
"Tsk, how can you talk like that? Don't be so ungrateful." Zhou Du put down his hands and stood up, holding his head high and chest out, straightening his clothes. "Let's go, I'm going to meet this Mr. Lu."
Xia Xi's expression was dull, and he said in a dragging tone: "...Are you okay?"
"You won't let me see her, are you hiding something?" Zhou Du feigned extreme shock and turned to head to the kitchen. "Then I have to go talk to Auntie."
"See you, see you, if you want to see me, that's all."
Xia Xi was really defeated by him. She went to the kitchen to tell Su Jinru and her grandmother that they didn't need to prepare too many dishes. She and Zhou Du would take the children out to eat.
Su Jinru was stunned for only two seconds before she burst into laughter, agreeing with her approach: "That's fine, you two young people can have something to say together, and your grandmother and I won't be the third wheel. Be careful on the road, and it's okay if you come back late."
Xia Xi was too exhausted to explain, so he just waved his hand and slipped away.
If she had the ability to predict the future and could have predicted in advance that she would meet Xu Yanfeng at the dinner party, she would not have left the house tonight even if she had a hundred reasons.
