Jiang Yilai guessed that Fu Nanxiao would definitely invite her to lunch, so she had no choice but to use Sun Yufei as a shield.
As her best friend, she agreed without hesitation when she learned of the situation.
Little did she know she would drag Jin Zisong, that night owl, over.
Jin Zisong runs a bar, which is so popular at night that it often stays open all night, leaving the couple with little time to spend together.
Sun Yufei said helplessly, "He hasn't spent time with me in a long time. Since he took the initiative to come out today, of course I have to take him with me."
Jiang Yilai nodded with a wry smile. It was one thing to understand, but it was another thing she couldn't quite accept.
"Have you made a restaurant reservation yet?"
"Sorry, I forgot."
Fu Nanxiao stepped forward at this moment: "I just happened to have made a reservation, let's go together."
Jin Zisong raised his hand in agreement: "Great! It's been a long time since I've gotten together with my older brother. This is a good opportunity for us to strengthen our bond."
Jiang Yilai shook her head repeatedly, and Fu Nanxiao added, "This is the largest commercial area, and the restaurants are packed with diners at noon. If you go out now, you won't be able to find a seat at all."
Sun Yufei felt embarrassed to take her hand and said awkwardly, "Lai Lai, President Fu is right, why don't we go together?"
Jiang Yilai gave her a pleading look. She had been specially called over to get rid of Fu Nanxiao, so of course she didn't want to go with him.
"I still have a lot of work to finish by noon," Jiang Yilai said, making an excuse.
Sun Yufei took her hand and walked out: "No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine."
Fu Nanxiao and Jin Zisong on the sofa exchanged a glance, and Fu Nanxiao raised his eyebrows with a smug look, easily solving the problem for him.
Jiang Yilai wants to ask her best friend for help, and Fu Nanxiao can also ask his brothers to resolve the situation. In short, she can't escape his grasp.
Arriving at a familiar restaurant, a place Fu Nanxiao used to occasionally take her to.
"I ordered what you used to like to eat, but I don't know if you've changed your tastes."
Fu Nanxiao's words sounded like a test, but also contained a hint of expectation.
Seeing the steak and side dishes served, it was indeed to her liking.
Sun Yufei said, "Lai Lai and I had a get-together last time, and her tastes haven't changed at all."
Fu Nanxiao smiled slightly, "It's good that nothing has changed."
Jiang Yilai picked up her knife and fork and said, "It's not a matter of taste anymore. I'm not picky about food at all now. I eat everything."
Fu Nanxiao's face darkened, and Jin Zisong quickly tried to smooth things over: "Sister-in-law, come to my bar sometime. We've prepared a lot of new shows recently, it'll be very lively."
"Thank you, but I don't like noisy places like this. Also, I'm not your sister-in-law, so please call me Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yilai calmly cut her steak and spoke these words with composure.
Jin Zisong, thick-skinned, said upon hearing this, "My older brother still has feelings for you and will win you back sooner or later. Then I'll still call you sister-in-law."
Sun Yufei kicked him under the table; it was inappropriate to say such things in this situation.
Sun Yufei was overjoyed that her boyfriend, who usually only slept during the day and rarely went out with her, actually offered to go out with her today.
But looking at what he said to Jiang Yilai now, it seems more like it was arranged by Fu Nanxiao.
Jiang Yilai didn't respond and continued eating, wanting only to leave as soon as possible.
Fu Nanxiao had a bottle of red wine opened to ease the tension.
Fu Nanxiao placed a glass in front of her and said considerately, "Lai Lai, the red wine and steak here are a perfect match, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
He was trying to evoke fond memories of their past.
