Chapter 30 Are you and Mr. Lu on a blind date?
"Brother, eat fish."
Fu Ci diligently picked out the fish bones and placed them on the plate in front of Lu Shiyan. His sparkling peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with stars, so bright that they were dazzling.
Gu Yian took a sip of his wine and said in a tone full of sarcasm and mockery, "Ayan has mysophobia and won't eat anything that someone else picks up."
"I advise you to eat quickly, and go play by yourself when you are full. Don't disturb the adults who are talking about important matters." It was obvious that he was not welcome.
Fu Ci bit his lips lightly and asked timidly, "Brother, am I disturbing your conversation?"
Gu Yian looked at him like an idiot and said in a bad tone, "Is it a problem? What do you think?"
Lu Shiyan glanced at Gu Yian nonchalantly, a look that was full of warning.
Gu Yian frowned, clenched his chopsticks tightly, and his eyes flashed with anger. It was all because of Fu Ci, the annoying fool. But when he thought of what Lu Shiyan had just said, he could only stop for the time being.
But his chest kept rising and falling rapidly, and he was obviously very angry.
Fu Ci's heart suddenly sank. He clenched his fists and then slowly unclenched them, looking at Lu Shiyan with a dark and unclear look in his eyes. "Brother, are you talking about something important with this sister?"
Ji Lin was also very curious about why Ji Qingyu had just returned to China and was having dinner with Fu Ci's brother?
So he asked, "Yes, Second Sister, have you and Mr. Lu known each other before?"
"What important matter are you discussing?"
Ji Qingyu's cheeks flushed slightly, as if she had applied a layer of rouge. She reached out to push the loose hair behind her ears, her shy expression instantly exposed. "We know each other, so to speak."
"I met Brother Shi Yan eight years ago when we returned to China to attend Brother Yi An's birthday dinner, so this time when we returned, I asked Brother Yi An to arrange for us to meet and get to know each other."
"It just so happens that my parents asked me to help manage several industries in North City during this period of time. If there is anything I don't understand, I would like to ask Brother Shi Yan for advice."
Ji Lin's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, "So, second sister, you and Mr. Lu are on a blind date?"
Ji Qingyu immediately glared at Ji Lin shyly, but did not deny it. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, "What are you asking, kid?"
"Hurry up and eat."
Lu Shiyan did not take this blind date seriously, but he had to come for Gu Yian's sake. As for Ji Qingyu's claim that he had known him eight years ago, he had no recollection of it at all.
He just wanted to finish his meal quickly and go back to the company, so he didn't deny it.
But when Fu Ci heard that Lu Shiyan had really agreed to the blind date, his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and it hurt so much that he felt like he was about to suffocate.
The light in his eyes dimmed instantly, his shoulders drooped, and he suddenly withdrew his gaze and turned away, like a pitiful big dog abandoned by its owner.
Ji Lin took in Fu Ci's dejected look, his eyes flickering as he said, "In that case, Fu Ci, let's go back to our own room to eat and not disturb them."
Hearing they were leaving, Gu Yian wanted to send them away himself, and he even smiled, "I'll ask the manager to serve you a table of the same dishes as ours. Just remember me when it's served, and you two can enjoy your meal."
Ji Lin shook his head and refused, "Brother Yi'an, I invited Fu Ci to dinner, how could I let you treat me?" After that, he walked to Fu Ci and said in a friendly manner, "Fu Ci, let's go."
Fu Ci did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at Lu Shiyan stubbornly, and called out in a trembling voice, "Brother..." As if as long as he asked them to leave, he would leave immediately and would no longer be an eyesore to them.
Lu Shiyan just wanted to finish the meal as soon as possible. Seeing Fu Ci and Ji Lin being so close, he felt annoyed for some reason.
He thought that the reason for this might be because Fu Ci's IQ was lower than his peers and he was often bullied and laughed at, so his personality became particularly sensitive. Over the years, he didn't like to contact strangers, and the person he was most attached to was his brother.
But now the protagonist of the book has appeared, and he seems to have naturally become familiar with Ji Lin, and they can even go out to eat alone.
But if you think about it carefully, Fu Ci and Ji Lin are the protagonists in the book, and the plot revolves around them, so even if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, they will eventually meet and intersect.
He is just a vicious cannon fodder in the book, and can only try his best to save Fu Ci from being bullied to the point of being mentally distorted and turned into a perverted madman, but he seems to have no right to interfere in the love-hate entanglement between him and the protagonist.
Lu Shiyan nodded imperceptibly, "Well, go ahead." Then he reminded, "Go home early. If you need Uncle Wang to pick you up, call him."
Gu Yian, who was sitting near the door, immediately opened the door of the private room. As if afraid that Fu Ci would continue to pester him, he said with a smile on his face, "Come on, I'll take you there and give you some fruit plates."
The door of the private room slowly closed under Fu Ci's expectant gaze, isolating the world inside the room. At this moment, the ice in Fu Ci's eyes quickly solidified, and his whole body exuded a solemn and murderous aura, as if covered by a thousand-year-old glacier, gloomy and cold.
It was not until Ji Lin called him again that he hid all his emotions. He turned around and did not go to Ji Lin's private room to eat. Instead, he said, "I want to go home," and walked away.
Ji Lin looked at his tall back as he left without looking back. His handsome face instantly became gloomy, and his eyes were like two sharp knives. He wished he could stab Fu Ci who dared to tease him.
After ordering the fruit, Gu Yian saw Fu Ci leave and was immediately overjoyed. "That idiot finally has some sense." But when he caught a glimpse of Ji Lin's ugly face, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. "Ji Lin, are you close to Fu Ci?"
Ji Lin's narrow eyes were slightly raised, and in the depths of his eyes was complete indifference and contempt. He opened his thin lips slightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's just a toy to kill time."
"Brother Yi'an, don't you think he's funny?"
Gu Yian frowned slightly and said disapprovingly, "What's so fun about a fool?"
"His identity is not worth your bothering with him."
Ji Lin said arrogantly, "He always plays by his own rules. Although it caught me off guard, I'm looking forward to the moment when I can manipulate him and make him surrender."
Gu Yian knew what Ji Lin, the devil in the world, wanted to do. No one could persuade him, so he could only gently remind him, "But he is the second young master recognized by the Lu family after all. Don't go too far."
Ji Lin smiled but said nothing.
Gu Yian patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll have dinner with you." This was just the right amount of time for Lu Shiyan and Ji Qingyu to be alone together.
In the private room, Lu Shiyan's elegant face looked even more noble because of his calm expression.
He picked up the piece of fish on the plate as if possessed by a magic trick. The fish was fresh and tender, but a little tasteless.
When Ji Qingyu saw this scene, his heart sank suddenly.
