When Wen Ning heard him speak, he walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Of course I'm here to fulfill my promise." After she sat down, she took out the reason she had thought of early in the morning, and looked at him, waiting for his reaction.
And at the moment Wen Ning finished speaking, she seemed to see an ambiguous look in his eyes. Before she could investigate, she saw him quickly control his emotions.
"Fulfill the contract?" Lu Shiyan leaned back in his chair and asked in a flat tone.
"Yes, I said yesterday that I wanted to treat Mr. Lu to a meal to thank him. However, I was in a hurry yesterday and forgot to add Mr. Lu's contact information. So now I have come to invite Mr. Lu to lunch in person so that he won't think I was just talking."
Wen Ning said this in a serious tone, and there was no sign of falsehood in his words. However, he knew the truth very well: the meal was fake, but the date was real.
"Miss Wen, you're too polite. It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. There's no need for Miss Wen to come over specially to treat me to a meal." Lu Shiyan retorted without any emotion.
"The Wen family teaches that if you receive a favor, you must repay it."
Wen Ning said this without blushing or beating her heart. If Li Yang knew about this, she would definitely say it was weird. When did she, Wen Ning, start to act like this?
If she didn't like them, she probably wouldn't bother to come and meet them, right? If she met everyone in person for such a simple task, wouldn't she be so busy?
Lu Shiyan stared straight at her, trying to tell the truth from her eyes.
Wen Ning didn't flinch at all, letting him scrutinize her. She looked at his stern face, the undercurrent surging in his deep eyes, but she couldn't discern it.
Lu Shiyan had never encountered anyone staring at him so directly, and he was not at all nervous when being looked at by him. His hand gently stroked the pen, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Miss Wen, is this how you repay everyone?"
There was a hint of emotion in his words, and Wen Ning understood what he meant. Did he think he was the kind of person who would just treat others to a meal?
You're overthinking it. If you want to eat with her, you have to queue up, right? She's not the type to be idle.
"No, since we were little, Mr. Lu, this is the first time I've personally visited and invited you to dinner. How about it, would you please do me a favor?"
She said it bluntly, and Lu Shiyan was a little surprised. He really couldn't understand why the little girl who was afraid of him yesterday became so passionate and bold today?
However, he believed that this was her true appearance. After all, when he first met her, she was as arrogant as she was today.
"Ms. Wen, there are so many people who want to have dinner with me. Do you think I am the kind of person who can invite anyone to dinner? If that were the case, wouldn't there be people coming to my company to have dinner with me every day?" Lu Shiyan's words were neither light nor heavy, and they happened to be loud enough for her to hear in this quiet office.
Lu Shiyan is a very busy man. His time is very precious. People who want to invite him to dinner are waiting in line from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
If everyone was like her today, would he still want to go to work?
While he does have time for lunch, he prefers to eat it alone.
Wen Ning was well prepared. She came here to be well prepared. There was no reason for her to be so frightened by someone's words.
"If Mr. Lu is so difficult to invite, then I'll have to ask him three times. If I can't invite him today, I'll try again tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow. One day, Mr. Lu will be free." Wen Ning said rather shamelessly. She didn't believe it. If she couldn't invite him, he'd better not agree. That way, she would have an excuse to come to him every day.
She was worried that she couldn't find an excuse. If that were the case, she wouldn't have to go to so much trouble and think so hard about how to see him.
This was exactly what she wanted.
But someone is not so easy to fool, nor is it so easy to let him manipulate him.
"Miss Wen, are you treating us, the Lu family, as decoration? It's like going to the vegetable market, coming here once today and again tomorrow." Lu Shiyan asked back.
Why did she think he would let her stay in his company?
If the company is so casual, then why should he still do business? Then he might as well not go to work every day. Just dealing with people who come to take advantage of opportunities has already eaten up his time.
"Mr. Lu, if this is a vegetable market, it would be a high-end vegetable market, the kind that ordinary people can't enter." Wen Ning looked around and complimented slowly.
"Oh, since it's a high-end vegetable market, I'm afraid it's not easy for Miss Wen to enter?"
"That doesn't matter. If I can't get a ticket, can I still get a standing ticket? At worst, I can just squat in front of your company every day. I believe I can eventually catch Mr. Lu by the nose." Wen Ning said half-threateningly and half-humorously.
"I didn't expect that Miss Wen also has the potential to be a paparazzi." Lu Shiyan said sarcastically.
He had underestimated her. He didn't expect that a little girl could talk so comprehensively.
"Thank you for the compliment. I'm not very talented, but I did take a paparazzi course for a semester in college." Wen Ning said without any shame.
Wen Ning wondered, what was shame? What was the point of being shameless in front of someone she liked? If she didn't take the initiative and waited for him to pursue her, she'd probably have a whole bunch of children.
She likes him, so she can just chase him for a while longer. She doesn't care who's chasing who. She just likes him, so what's wrong with chasing him? Isn't it just about risking her pride? What's the big deal?
If she could catch up with him, she would be willing to be shameless every day.
It's no big deal to pursue a chosen one of heaven. There are so many people who want to pursue him, but they haven't even met him in person.
At least I managed to catch up with the company, so when I think about it, I still made a profit.
Lu Shiyan felt speechless for a moment. He was clearly being sarcastic, so why couldn't she hear it?
The next second, Lu Shiyan stood up, slowly put on the suit jacket draped over the back of the chair, and then walked towards Wen Ning.
Seeing his posture, Wen Ning couldn't help but straighten up, sit up straight, and keep his eyes on his steps.
Soon, Lu Shiyan came to the sofa. He leaned over and looked at her with his waist half bent. The cool fragrance from his suit lingered in Wen Ning's nose. For a moment, her mind buzzed and went blank.
Her heartbeat was pounding as she looked at his face from a close distance. She forgot to breathe and just blinked at him.
This was the first time she looked at him so closely, so close that if she moved a little, she could touch the tip of his nose.
Their breaths intertwined, their eyes met, and looking at each other's reflections in each other's eyes, he stood up very unnaturally, then walked towards the door. After a few steps, he saw someone still sitting stupidly on the sofa, and couldn't help but turn around: "What are you still sitting there for? Waiting for me to hug you?"
"Where are you going?" Wen Ning asked stupidly, not being able to react.
Lu Shiyan pursed his lips and looked at her, feeling a bit speechless. Didn't she say she would treat him to a meal? Why did she ask such a stupid question?
He even wondered if he had lost his mind by agreeing to have dinner with her.
"Have a meal."
