Lu Xing was feeling somewhat puzzled, but his eyes were unconsciously attracted to the short-haired woman next to Bai Yuning, and the woman who was chatting and laughing with the man also turned back when she heard the sound.

The moment the woman turned around, the sparkling light in her eyes and her smile were like the warm and bright sun in June, instantly illuminating the entire dim restaurant.

Lu Xing's head suddenly started buzzing. As a guest entered the restaurant, the bell on the door rang at the right moment. The world around him seemed to stop moving with the ringing of the bell. Suddenly, there was silence, leaving only his restless breathing.

He seemed to hear God leaning over and whispering something in his ear. Those words burned his heart like a raging fire, and this scene was like a movie film that was accidentally engraved in his heart.

Ji Zihan, who was sitting opposite him, saw him lying on the partition motionless and asked, "Lu Xing."

Ji Zihan's voice pulled him back from his daze. He came back to his senses and glanced at the man standing next to the woman. He couldn't help but frown. This man is not...

"Li Yuze?" Lu Xing murmured a name.

When Ji Zihan heard this name, his relaxed expression suddenly became tense, and his eyes gradually darkened: This woman Bai Yuning... is Li Yuze again.

Lu Xing rolled his eyes and poked Bai Yuning, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb and didn't look back, with his finger: "Little assistant, little assistant, stop pretending. I know it's you."

Bai Yuning could only force a smile and turned around: "Boss Lu."

Then he looked up at Ji Zihan across from him and called out awkwardly, "Boss Ji."

Ji Zihan didn't know what he was angry about. He didn't even raise his eyelids and just responded casually.

"Let's eat together!" Lu Xing invited her to dine again.

Without waiting for Bai Yuning's reply, he went straight to Li Yuze and said, "Mr. Li, what a coincidence, do you want to have dinner together?" Then he came out of the cubicle and walked towards Li En.

Li En was wondering who this handsome foreign guy was when he saw him slowly take his hand, lean over and elegantly kiss the back of his hand.

He slowly raised his head, holding her fair fingers without letting go, his light blue eyes showing a deep smile: "My beautiful lady, would you be so kind as to join us?"

For a moment, Ji Zihan and Bai Yuning's mouth twitched at the same time, and four words popped up in their minds at the same time: Peacock spreads its tail.

Li Yuze narrowed his eyes behind his glasses, and immediately reacted. He walked forward and businesslikely separated the two people's clasped hands.

"Mr. Lu, it's not convenient today. Let's do it next time." Li Yuze stood in front of Li En, blocking her petite figure.

Li En rushed out from behind him in a hurry: "Hey! Brother, do you know him? It's okay, we can go together!"

Her eyes were already full of stars. Following Lu Xing's invitation, she sat down in their compartment without waiting for anyone else to speak.

Bai Yuning and Li Yuze looked at each other helplessly: It seems that they have to eat this meal together.

The dining table in Ji Zihan's room is a long table for six people. Originally, Ji Zihan and Lu Xing sat opposite each other, but now Li En has sat next to Lu Xing, with one seat left next to him. There are two seats on Ji Zihan's side.

Bai Yuning secretly had a headache: If I sit opposite Ji Zihan, Brother Yuze will have to sit next to Ji Zihan. The auras of these two people are inexplicably a bit confrontational, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing.

If Brother Yuze sits next to Xiaoen, then I have to sit next to Ji Zihan, but I don’t want to do that. It’s too stressful to eat next to him.

While she was thinking, she vaguely felt that Ji Zihan's gaze seemed to be moving on her, but when she secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, she found that he didn't even raise his head.

Bai Yuning couldn't help but wonder if she was hallucinating. After weighing the pros and cons, she finally chose to sit next to Ji Zihan.

Ji Zihan felt secretly refreshed, and his eyes, which had just gloomed, gradually returned to normal: Bai Yuning, you are sensible.

Ten minutes later, the atmosphere at the table somehow became like heaven and hell.

Lu Xing and Li En were chatting animatedly on one side. With the handsome guy in front of them, they completely forgot about their bestie and brother.

On the other side, the temperature dropped to freezing point. Ji Zihan and Li Yuze were both silent. Bai Yuning wanted to say a few words to mediate the situation, but didn't know what to talk about.

After all, she and Ji Zihan had nothing to talk about except work, and Li Yuze had just returned to China and they hadn't seen each other for many years, so naturally he had a lot to ask, but these trivial matters were not suitable to be discussed in front of outsiders.

Bai Yuning had no choice but to keep her head down and frantically cut the steak on the plate in an attempt to speed up the lunch process.

She was not very skilled in using the knife and fork, and she couldn't cut the steak in her hands, which made her a little confused.

Li Yuze noticed her embarrassment and asked gently, "Ningning, do you need my help?"

Bai Yuning hesitated for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Ah? Is that okay? I'm not used to using a knife and fork, so I'll have to trouble Brother Yuze."

He has always regarded Li Yuze as his brother. Before going abroad, they were as close as siblings. The Li family almost adopted her, but she gave up because she didn't want to. So she naturally didn't think there was anything to be shy about about such a small thing as him helping to cut steak.

Bai Yuning was about to push his plate over when a slender hand suddenly appeared on his left and handed him a plate of sliced ​​steak.

Bai Yuning was shocked. She turned to Ji Zihan and said, "What are you doing..."

Although Li Yuze's expression did not change, his eyes became complicated.

"If you don't know how to use it, don't come to this kind of place to eat next time." Ji Zihan moved her plate away expressionlessly, and did not forget to make a sarcastic remark.

Bai Yuning didn't understand what Ji Zihan was showing off for a moment. Was he disgusted with her own narrow knowledge and couldn't stand it anymore?

So she could only whisper back, "Oh... I won't eat with you next time."

Ji Zihan's ears moved slightly, obviously hearing her mumbling, and glanced at her coldly.

Bai Yuning fell silent immediately and ate her meal obediently.

Li Yuze looked at Ji Zihan, adjusted his glasses, and smiled, "Is President Ji always so considerate to his employees?"

There was clearly a hint of hidden sarcasm in his tone.

Bai Yuning was chewing beef and almost choked to death at these words: "!!!"

Ji Zihan regretted it deeply.

He should have pretended not to notice Bai Yuning's embarrassing look just now.

But before he could reply, Bai Yuning was even more excited than him, and she explained to him anxiously with meat in her mouth.

"Yes, yes, yes... President Ji usually treats his employees like this..."

Ji Zihan had no choice but to say "hmm" to show his agreement.

Li Yuze was amused by Bai Yuning's appearance. He naturally reached out and wiped away the sauce that accidentally stained the corner of her mouth.

Bai Yuning blinked her eyes, picked up the tissue and wiped it again with a sense of embarrassment, and asked Li Yuze: "Anything else?"

Li Yuze's eyes were gentle and doting, and he shook his head seemingly helplessly.

Although Ji Zihan’s behavior just now made him feel a little uncomfortable, for Bai Yuning’s sake, he smiled and didn’t ask any more questions.

Ji Zihan caught a glimpse of this scene, and the fingers holding the silver knife and fork couldn't help but clench...

Lunch ended in this strange atmosphere.

Everyone went back, and Bai Yuning and Ji Zihan also returned to the president's office.
