Mo Bai was sitting in his office, organizing the information he needed for tomorrow’s court session. He stopped what he was doing when he saw Lian Qingyan’s WeChat. When he saw the two photos, the smile on his face instantly froze, and he tightened his grip on his phone.
After looking at it for a long time, he threw her phone aside and leaned back against the chair tiredly. He stared at the ceiling and slowly fell into a daze.
In the dining room, after the three of them sat down, Lian Qingyan simply ordered the dishes without asking while Su Yanxi sat at the side and said nothing.
Soon, all the dishes were served. However, Su Yanxi discovered a problem. Lu Jingyan wiped the fork and knife in his hand with a napkin three times before he began to use it. She raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this man’s obsession with cleanliness had reached a terminal stage and was beyond saving.
Noticing that Su Yanxi was staring at his hand that was cutting the steak, Lu Jingyan looked up and asked coldly, “What’s wrong?”
Su Yanxi looked up and met his eyes with a faint smile, “Nothing.” She paused for a moment before changing the topic, “Have you been to this restaurant before?”
“No.”
“Then, Why did you choose this restaurant?” Su Yanxi looked around at the elegant layout of this restaurant. She was quite satisfied, but she felt that the steak didn’t taste good.
“There’s only one western restaurant nearby,” Lu Jingyan said calmly as he put the steak into his mouth slowly.
“…”
Su Yanxi was speechless. She thought that he had already thought of coming to this restaurant way before he arrived. It turned out that he had chosen it on the spot because she and Lian Qingyan were here. She had overthought.
Noticing the speechless look on her face, Lu Jingyan glanced at the steak she had barely touched and casually asked, “It’s not good?”
“Do you think it’s delicious?”
“Not bad.”
“…”
“You’re too picky.” Lu Jingyan added calmly when he saw that Su Yanxi was silent.
“…”
Su Yanxi suppressed the anger in her heart and sat across from the man sitting opposite her. She was about to say something when she saw the man’s long arm suddenly reach over. He was holding a fork with a steak in his hand. His cold voice drifted into her ears along with the elegant melody in the dining room. “Try it.”
Su Yanxi was a little startled by the man’s sudden action. The anger that she had accumulated earlier instantly disappeared without a trace. She stared at the steak in front of her in a daze.
“If you don’t like it, then don’t force it. Get the waiter to order something else.” Lu Jingyan calmly retracted his hand when he saw Su Yanxi’s stunned expression. There was no awkwardness on his face as he put down his cutlery and took a sip of water to rinse his mouth. His gaze inadvertently landed on Lian Qingyan, who was sitting beside Su Yanxi.
Sensing that cold gaze, Lian Qingyan came back to her senses and smiled, “Ahem, you guys can continue. Just pretend that I don’t exist. This 50 million watt light bulb will leave immediately after eating. I definitely won’t affect the two of you. Don’t worry.”
Su Yanxi was pulled back to reality by Lian Qingyan’s words. Staring at the man’s calm and handsome face, she silently held her forehead with one hand. An awkward expression appeared on her pretty face, but she was extremely puzzled.
It was clearly Lu Jingyan who suddenly behaved abnormally and tried to feed her, but she did not accept it. Why was she the one who was embarrassed? Shouldn’t it be him?
Lu Jingyan’s gaze landed on Su Yanxi again as he asked calmly, “Are we ordering again?”
Su Yanxi looked up and shook her head, “There’s no need to, I don’t want to eat anymore.”
