Chapter 145 Invitation
Seeing Lu Yichen's arrival, Zhong Nianyao was only surprised, not happy. Especially when she thought about how Lu Yichen had sent the things to the Zhong family without saying a word a few days ago, causing her to rack her brains to think of ways to cover it up, she felt even more annoyed.
Lu Yichen, who was sitting in the car, naturally saw the expression on Zhong Nianyao's face. He chuckled, "It seems that this means I am not welcome!"
Zhong Nianyao did not deny it and nodded directly, "It seems that you are still very self-aware!"
"Oh!" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows. "I thought we were friends after all. I didn't expect that I would annoy you. But, I shouldn't have offended you!"
On the contrary, he did not keep all the things he found in the general's tomb to himself, but gave a portion to Zhong Nian Yao.
"How dare you say that," Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes. "You brought the things here so brazenly, and you didn't even think about how I'm going to explain it to my family!"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about this and caused you trouble. This kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
Lu Yichen's attitude was so nice that it made her seem particularly stingy. Zhong Nianyao also felt a little embarrassed. She shook her head and said, "Forget it. This kind of thing probably won't happen again in the future."
Then, as if she remembered something, she continued to ask, "Why are you here? You're not here to see me, are you?"
"Indeed," Lu Yichen nodded. "I came here today specifically to treat you to a meal. I wonder if you would do me the honor?"
Hearing Lu Yichen's invitation, Zhong Nianyao was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of vigilance rose in her heart. She shook her head and said, "Forget it, I——"
"I think we should be considered friends now." Lu Yichen interrupted Zhong Nianyao directly, "Or do you think I'm not worthy of being your friend?"
This was a bit harsh, and for a moment, Zhong Nianyao really couldn't say anything to refute it. She couldn't say that there was no reason, she simply didn't want to be friends with Lu Yichen!
Although this is the fact, you can't just say it like that!
In the end, Zhong Nianyao had no choice but to get into Lu Yichen's car.
She couldn't stand there at the school gate with Lu Yichen! That would attract too much attention, and if gossip started to spread, she would become even more famous.
Especially since something like this happened today, it would be really annoying if news about her and Lu Yichen were to come out again at this time.
After Zhong Nianyao got in the car, the low-key luxury car quickly drove away from the college gate.
In a corner that Zhong Nianyao didn't notice, a person was holding a mobile phone and taking pictures in the direction where Zhong Nianyao got into the car.
In the back seat, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were the only two people. Neither of them spoke, instead each browsing on their phone. The atmosphere in the car was exceptionally silent.
However, it was obvious that neither of them felt awkward, and the atmosphere was rather strangely harmonious.
A moment later, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao sat down in a private room of a private restaurant.
Zhong Nianyao began to look at the furnishings of this private restaurant.
She really liked the decoration and furnishings here. Whether it was the owner's personal preference or to attract customers, this private restaurant was decorated in an antique style, giving it a unique charm.
Although she has come to this modern society, she still misses the decoration and furnishings of the Li Kingdom. After all, that is where she lived for twenty years.
"It seems that you like this place very much!" Lu Yichen did not miss the satisfaction that flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes. He handed the menu to Zhong Nianyao and continued, "The dishes here are also very good. Let's see what you like to eat."
Zhong Nianyao didn't hesitate to take the menu and looked at it directly. Then she called the waiter over and started ordering. She didn't ask Lu Yichen's opinion at all, but made her own decision.
She was not polite at all. Besides being dissatisfied with Lu Yichen's behavior, she also wanted to prevent Lu Yichen from inviting her to dinner next time.
However, Lu Yichen obviously didn't care at all about Zhong Nianyao's behavior, and even seemed to condone it.
After the waiter left the private room, Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Yichen, who was sitting not far from her, and spoke directly, "Tell me! You are in such a good mood today, and you came to have dinner with me. Is there something wrong?"
They say that those who show unwarranted kindness are either treacherous or thieves. She and Lu Yichen had no significant connection, and even after the tomb robbery, they hadn't had any contact since. Now that Lu Yichen had suddenly come knocking on her door, it didn't seem like a good thing.
"Haha!" Lu Yichen couldn't help but chuckle, "Do I have to have something to ask you? Can't I just treat you to a meal as a thank you?"
"Well, I accept your thanks." Zhong Nianyao nodded and continued, "However, after this thank you, we won't meet again. After all, our relationship is not much better than strangers."
Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows but said nothing, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Soon, the waiters came in one after another and brought up the dishes they had just ordered.
After taking a bite, Zhong Nianyao's eyes lit up. She thought to herself, Lu Yichen really didn't lie to her. The taste of this private restaurant is really good.
In other words, we should not say "not bad", but "very good".
She particularly liked the taste of the food here. She had a strong taste and liked spicy food. However, on weekdays, when she was at the Zhong family, in order to accommodate the tastes of the old man and the old lady, she usually ate lighter food.
She doesn't have a big opinion on what to eat. However, she still prefers to eat something with a strong flavor. On days when she doesn't go home, she will go back and eat something spicy.
She likes the spicy dishes here very much, they suit her taste very well.
Seeing Zhong Nian Yao eating so happily, Lu Yichen smiled, shook his head, and picked up the chopsticks.
The two of them had a delicious meal, and the atmosphere between them was unusually harmonious.
However, there are always people who like to break this harmonious scene.
While the two were still eating, there was a knock on the door.
