An elusive feeling hung in the air as Wen Ning stared at him intently. She wondered if he and his fiancée had often come here to eat over the years. The thought of them sitting here, just like she was doing now, and looking at him, made her feel a little uncomfortable. He and she had spent so much time together, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She couldn't help but feel a little lost. Why hadn't she met him in all these years? If she had met him sooner, wouldn't things be different now? Would they have more memories together?
Lu Shiyan looked at her inquiring expression, not knowing what she was thinking. However, he did not have any habits that could be misunderstood, nor did he bother to do such a thing.
"No, I came here before either with my family or with my brothers." Lu Shiyan didn't let her worry for long before giving her the answer.
He had been pressured by his parents to meet up for dinner under the pretext of cultivating their relationship, but the two of them didn't have the right energy and didn't really want to eat together. They only ate together once or twice in the first year, and then they just got by with it. They met in front of their elders, and after going out, they had dinner with their friends. After that, they just showed up.
Those years also happened to be the rising period of his career. He was very busy and had little time to meet and eat together. The elders on both sides were aware of the situation, which saved a lot of trouble. Therefore, to this day, he and she couldn't be considered to have a very good relationship. At most, they could be considered acquaintances.
Wen Ning was surprised to hear this answer. She really didn't understand why Miss Ye would leave such an excellent man behind and choose someone else. However, this was not her concern. When she heard this, she actually felt a little happy for some reason.
So she became even more curious and asked the question she had always cared about: "Do you like her?"
She didn't show it on her face, but she was actually very nervous inside. She didn't know why she was so nervous. She subconsciously rubbed her hands, pretending that she didn't care much about his answer, but she clearly cared to death.
If he didn't like her, he couldn't have been engaged to her for so many years without ever considering breaking off the engagement. After all, who would dare force someone as outstanding as him? But if he loved her, why would he have agreed to break off the engagement the moment she asked, and even announced it so immediately? Was it revenge? Was it resentment?
She just looked at him, and Lu Shiyan also looked at her obscurely. The two of them were just one meter apart, looking at each other, neither of them showing weakness. They looked at each other, and no one looked away. They just looked at each other, trying to explore each other's intentions from their eyes.
"Hey, Wen Ning, what answer do you want?" He chuckled, his voice low and magnetic, with an irresistible charm.
"What kind of answer do you think I want?" Wen Ning was not willing to be outdone. She had already asked this question, there was no point in giving in. She was determined to get an answer today.
"Heh, those who try to get information about me almost never end up well, don't you know?" His tone was cold and distant, even a little sharp. This was a side of him she had never seen before, and it seemed that this was the way he should be. After all, how could a man like him treat her the way he usually did? However, she seemed even more excited. Conquering such a man was extremely challenging.
"Why do I want to know?" The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Lu Shiyan narrowed his eyes, actually interested. He thought that she was just a young lady with an arrogant look, but he didn't expect that she actually had such a hidden look. It made him underestimate her. He seemed to have never seen anyone who was not afraid of him. Whenever he looked like this, everyone around him would be afraid of him. But she didn't look afraid at all. It seemed that he was too nice to her, which made her think that he was easy to talk to. This was simply ridiculous.
"Master Lu, why are you here?" Just as the two were secretly competing with each other, a voice with a hint of joy was heard. Wen Ning frowned unhappily. He didn't need to think about which annoying guy came to ruin his good thing.
She turned around suddenly and glared at him angrily: "Ye Jingyun, why are you everywhere?"
Lu Shiyan looked at his angry expression and suddenly smiled. The ice in his eyes instantly melted into the spring breeze of March. He didn't expect that her mood would change so quickly. It was simply amazing to him.
Wen Ning glared at him again and smiled, making him hesitate and not answer. Now, even if she wanted to know more, she couldn't ask any further in this atmosphere, so she had to give up.
"Wen Ning, you are so unreasonable. You don't laugh, and you don't allow me to laugh." Lu Shiyan said with a smile, no longer having the look of keeping strangers away from him.
"Tsk, how quick you change your expression," Wen Ning muttered. Wasn't he acting like a devil just now? Why isn't he pretending now? He only knows how to be tough with me.
"Wen Ning, why are you here?" Ye Jingyun suddenly heard her voice and looked over at her. She had just seen Lu Shiyan from a distance and happily walked over to greet him, momentarily ignoring the person sitting across from him. Now that she was closer and heard the voice, she realized it was Wen Ning, that annoying person. Why was she everywhere? It was really weird. Couldn't she just stay away from him? She kept appearing around her. What was the meaning?
"None of your business," Wen Ning replied angrily. If it weren't for her, he would have been able to pry the answer out of him. But now, with her interrupting him, there was no answer at all. What a troublemaker! She could have come at any other time, but now. Bah, she shouldn't have appeared. I'm so fed up. Why would she come up here when there was nothing to do? No, it was all Lu Shiyan's fault. He was so flashy, he just attracted a lot of attention.
"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Ye Jingyun replied bluntly.
"Heh, why don't you let a dog spit out ivory and see?" Wen Ning's body was now covered in thorns, pricking at the slightest touch, and he was full of fighting power. Ye Jingyun's face was so ashen after being confronted by her, and Wen Ning felt very satisfied watching it. I'm not the Wen family if I don't let you ruin my good thing and make you speechless.
Ye Jingyun endured and endured, and finally put his expression back, and simply ignored this annoying woman. He looked at Lu Shiyan with a smile, and said in a tone that could drown people: "Master Lu, are you free later? I'll buy you a cup of coffee."
Before Lu Shiyan could speak, Wen Ning replied coldly, "I'm busy."
"You're not invited, so what's it got to do with you?" Ye Jingyun couldn't hold it in any longer. Why was this guy so annoying?
"He belongs to me now."
