Chapter 78 Who’s hesitating?



"Mr. Lu, you want to send us away after just one meal? Isn't that too stingy?" Wen Ning looked at him with a smile. Her tone was teasing and playful, and one could not hear any anger or dissatisfaction in her voice. However, anyone with a discerning eye could hear some demands in her tone.

A faint smile played on Lu Shiyan's lips, and a gentle light shone in his eyes. He gracefully reached out and gently placed her favorite dish on the table in front of her. His movements were smooth and natural, as if he had done this many times before.

Wen Ning's gaze fell on his hands, then slowly moved to his face. Seeing his attentive and considerate actions, a ripple of emotion could not help but form in his heart. Something in his heart was quietly collapsing. As expected, he looked quite nice when he was being considerate.

After the dishes were changed, Lu Shiyan's magnetic and low voice sounded: "Then on Saturday, I'll treat you to a night out, how about it?" His tone was light and cheerful, and his eyes revealed anticipation.

Wen Ning raised her head, a subtle flash of surprise in her eyes, but it was quickly covered by shyness. She hesitated for a moment before answering, "Okay..."

Lu Shiyan nodded with satisfaction, and the smile on his lips became brighter.

"Is this sincerity enough?" Lu Shiyan looked at her and said.

"It's okay, it's okay." Wen Ning nodded a little arrogantly, picked up one of the pieces of fish and put it into his mouth.

"Just okay? Huh? It seems that Miss Wen's standards are quite high." Lu Shiyan said.

"That's right. So, you should take it easy," Wen Ning said jokingly. "But Miss Ye took the initiative to invite you to dinner, why don't you go? What a pity! Isn't it a wonderful thing to have a beautiful woman by your side?"

"A beauty by my side? One beauty is enough for me." Lu Shiyan said seriously. It was obvious who this beauty was.

"Tsk, don't all men like to be hugged by women? Why, you don't like it?"

"Oh, you like it? You don't want to find a rich woman? At least you should find one in a place with bright lights and wine, so as not to cause trouble for yourself."

"I never thought you were this kind of person," Wen Ning said with some displeasure. Could it be that he was secretly searching behind her? This was infuriating.

"Then I saw Miss Wen looking for male models at Tianshang Renjian?" Lu Shiyan suddenly talked about their first meeting. He hadn't forgotten the scene when Wen Heng caught him. "Or is it that Miss Wen has double standards, she can order five or six people at a time, but I don't even have anyone to pour the wine? What's more, I hadn't even ordered anything at that time."

Wen Ning's face was a little embarrassed. She really regretted that she shouldn't have gone last time. He knew about her bad side. Although she didn't do anything and was innocent, she couldn't protect it. He liked to think too much. It was all her fault. Why couldn't she control her mouth? If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have said it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up. But misunderstandings aside, she still had to explain. So she quickly said:

"I didn't do anything rash. I just asked them to pour me some wine."

"Is it pouring wine into your arms?"

"You're talking nonsense. How could he pour the wine into his arms? He clearly just touched his hand." Wen Ning couldn't help but get anxious when he saw him talking nonsense.

"Oh, just touching the hand? That's such a pity." Lu Shiyan looked unconvinced.

"I swear to God, it's absolutely true, it's really just a touch." Wen Ning said very seriously.

"oh."

"Okay, okay, I won't keep chasing you, and you don't keep chasing me either, okay?" Wen Ning surrendered. She felt that if she continued to struggle, he would probably reveal her true colors.

"Okay."

"What do you mean by okay? Do you have to force yourself?" Wen Ning said with some dissatisfaction.

"That's fine." Lu Shiyan changed his tone.

"Hmph, if you do this again, I'll get angry with you." Wen Ning said unconvinced.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking nonsense and eat this fish. It's so delicious."

"It's so delicious, it's sacrificed for your stomach and mine." Wen Ning pouted.

Lu Shiyan chuckled.

The two of them enjoyed their lunch leisurely.

The sun was still shining outside, but the two people sitting at the dining table were experiencing some subtle changes inside themselves.

"What are you going to do on Saturday?" Wen Ning asked curiously.

After dinner, the two of them walked back along the tree-lined path. Wen Ning lagged behind him a little, playing with his shadow under the shade of the trees, having a great time.

Lu Shiyan looked down at her childish behavior and couldn't help but laugh. The sunlight shone through the leaves onto her, creating mottled shadows. Her hair was blown by the wind, brushing against her fair cheeks. She looked like she had walked out of a painting.

He couldn't help but think of their first meeting. Back then, he had felt this girl was very special, so special that she stared at him so blatantly and eavesdropped on him. She had thought she was hiding it well, but he had seen her listening from beginning to end. If he hadn't been bored, he would have gone over to warn her long ago, but at that time, he actually held back, observing her quietly from the side with a curious heart. In the end, he even tried to warn her, but after seeing the stunned expression on her face, he left with satisfaction.

He didn't know whether she was in a good mood at that time, but he felt pretty good anyway.

"Hmm?" Wen Ning saw him staring at him for a long time without saying anything, so he couldn't help but look up at him in confusion.

"It's a secret, I won't tell you." Lu Shiyan came back to his senses and mumbled. He looked at her childish behavior and couldn't help but ask, "You really like doing such a boring thing."

He didn't understand what was so fun about stepping on human figures, like a child.

Wen Ning smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's fun. Do you want to play with me?"

Lu Shiyan shook his head. "Forget it, I'm not that naive. Let's go back quickly. You're going to get sunburned. Don't let your skin get sunburned and you start crying pitifully for a long time."

When Wen Ning heard that his skin would get tanned, he quickly said seriously, "Alright, alright, I'm done playing. Let's hurry up and go back. I can't let my face get tanned."

Wen Ning pushed his slow body from behind, completely changing from the slow one just now to the impatient one. It was as if the slow one just now was not her.

She is a girl who loves beauty. She hasn't even caught the guy yet, so how could she bear to become darker? That would be a huge loss.

"Play for a while longer?" Lu Shiyan teased, wanting to contradict her.

"No more playing, no more playing. Hurry up and stop dawdling." Wen Ning refused and kept urging him.

"Who's wasting time?" Lu Shiyan asked in a long tone.

"Of course you're the one who's hesitating." Wen Ning was unwilling to admit that he was the one who was hesitating.

Under the shade of the tree, Wen Ning's urging voice and Lu Shiyan's muffled laughter intertwined together, forming a beautiful picture.
