Gu Wan originally thought that the situation would be relieved after entering the elevator. After all, it was lunchtime and everyone was rushing downstairs to have lunch, so there should be many people in the elevator.

But what she never expected was that there was no one in this elevator, as if God was deliberately making things difficult for her.

It turns out that the restaurant in Yueyin Building is on the 21st floor, and people on the lower floors walk upwards.

It is not time to finish dining yet, so at this moment, there will naturally be fewer people, or even no people, in the descending elevator on the 16th floor.

Si Yehan followed in and stood near the elevator door, while Gu Wan stood at the back of the elevator.

But at this moment, she just remembered the scene where she hugged Si Yehan and refused to let go, and she suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

She couldn't help but look outside the elevator, silently praying in her heart that at least one person would walk into the elevator.

Just when she was almost in despair, a miracle happened - a fat, fleshy-faced man rushed in like the wind.

Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, he finally squeezed in.

Gu Wan felt a little calmer. After all, having a third person here was better than just her and Si Yehan being here alone.

However, the next second after the man stepped into the elevator, he suddenly turned around and walked out.

It turned out that he was going upstairs, but after coming in and looking at the direction clearly, he realized that it was in the opposite direction of his destination, so he chose to go out without hesitation.

I'm really afraid of what's coming!

Gu Wan couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart.

The elevator door finally closed slowly and mercilessly. Gu Wan, who was standing in the elevator, couldn't help but look at Si Yehan who was standing diagonally in front of him.

In an instant, an indescribable embarrassment surged into my heart like a tide.

Both of them remained silent.

Who could have expected that the two people who lived under the same roof and saw each other every day would become so awkward because of Si Yehan's gesture of shaking his hand just now.

It was as if someone had dug an invisible chasm between them, which was invisible but impossible to cross.

The short journey from the sixteenth floor to the first floor should have been quick and easy, but for Gu Wan at this moment, it felt like a long century.

Every second is extended infinitely, and every breath is filled with heavy pressure.

The air around seemed to sense the embarrassment, condensing into a depressing atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.

As the elevator bell on the first floor rang, Gu Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

She secretly rejoiced that she could finally escape from such a suffocating atmosphere.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Gu Wan originally planned to say goodbye to Si Yehan, but she didn't expect him to be the first to ask:

"Do you want to eat lunch outside or go home and make it?"

Hearing this, Gu Wan suddenly felt flustered and couldn't help thinking:

Dad, are you going to have lunch with me?

If Si Yehan asked her this under normal circumstances, she would still be willing to have lunch with him, after all, Si Yehan was her father.

Even if she had to stand Xiao Ai up, she wouldn't hesitate. After all, she and Xiao Ai were very familiar with each other and she could understand her situation.

But right now, Gu Wan didn't want to go out for dinner with Si Yehan no matter what, especially when it was just the two of them.

If she really went, she would be so embarrassed that she wouldn't have the mood to eat.

However, she was very curious as to why her father didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Just as Gu Wan's thoughts were in a mess, she heard Si Yehan calling softly:

"Late night?"

She suddenly came to her senses and responded quickly:

"Ah! My friend just asked me out for dinner, and she has sent me the exact location. Dad, do you want to join us?"

As he spoke, Gu Wan quickly opened the Green Bubble social app on his phone and showed Si Yehan the location Mo Xiaoai had sent him.

When Si Yehan heard this, he instinctively wanted to confirm whether the friend who invited Gu Wan to dinner was a man or a woman.

So he involuntarily took a step forward, trying to see the portrait on the green bubble clearly.

However, because Gu Wan felt resentful about Si Yehan's behavior just now, she took a step back reflexively and deliberately kept a certain safe distance from him.

Si Yehan had always treated others in this way in the past, but no one had ever dared to treat him like this, let alone that person was Gu Wan.

If it was someone else doing this, Si Yehan wouldn't care at all, but when he saw Gu Wan deliberately keeping a distance from him, he finally understood how Gu Wan felt when he was treated like this, and his face instantly turned ugly.

Si Yehan's originally proud heart instantly turned into a fragile one, shattered to the ground.

However, at this moment, he really couldn't bring himself to ask directly whether the friend Gu Wan had invited to dinner was a man or a woman. After all, this would make him seem too pretentious.

So, Si Yehan raised his eyes, slowly straightened his body, stretched out his right hand, and said simply and roughly:

"Give me the phone."

Gu Wan was stunned for a moment, and hesitated for a moment before responding:

"My...cell phone?"

Si Yehan did not answer, but just glanced at her sharply, and Gu Wan obediently handed over her phone.

After Si Yehan took over, he glanced at the contact's note on the screen - "Classmate Xiao Ai", and he knew in his heart that the other party was Mo Xiao Ai.

"I won't go. I have other things to deal with at the company."

Whether he is okay or not is just a matter of his words.

He was just afraid that his misogyny would come back after he went there, and he would probably just sit there and feel sick looking at the delicious food.

Then, Si Yehan confidently handed the phone back to Gu Wan, and used an imperative tone to conceal his true intentions, and said:

“You can’t drink.”

Gu Wan nodded and responded softly:

"Ah."

Afterwards, Si Yehan drove away in his BMW, hungry.

Gu Wanyi took a taxi to the restaurant that Mo Xiaoai had located.

In this way, the two of them went their separate ways, one heading east and the other west.

Gu Wan walked into the restaurant and immediately saw Mo Xiaoai sitting by the window waiting.

Mo Xiaoai smiled and waved at her:

"Wanwan, this way!"

Gu Wan raised the corner of her mouth, walked quickly to the table, put her bag on a chair beside her, and then sat down.

She looked around and said with satisfaction:

"This restaurant has a really nice environment, and I think the food here will be delicious too."

"Of course, the place I choose will definitely not be bad. Oh, by the way, Wanwan, please tell me, how did you get back to Yueyin?" Mo Xiaoai asked impatiently.

Gu Wan nodded and gestured to the waiter beside her for a menu.

After getting the menu, she turned around and looked at Mo Xiaoai who looked anxious, and chuckled:

"Don't be anxious. No matter how anxious we are, we still have to fill our stomachs first, right?"

"Oh, Wanwan, you know that this question is all over my mind right now, so stop keeping me in suspense, okay?"

Mo Xiaoai pulled Gu Wan's arm and shook it.

Just then, the waiter came to the table.

Gu Wan handed the menu to Mo Xiaoai and said soothingly:

"Okay, okay, I'm just about to tell you. Just look at what you want to eat and order while I tell you. That way you can do both."

However, after Mo Xiaoai took the menu, before Gu Wan had time to speak, she quickly checked off a few dishes to recommend to Gu Wan, and sent the waiter away in no time.

"Now I can concentrate on listening to you, hurry up!"

Mo Xiaoai stared at Gu Wan with burning eyes, as if she didn't want to wait even a second longer.

Gu Wan smiled and said:

"My journey back to Yueyin was quite complicated, and Liu Jing was busy during this period."

"Liu Jing! Why is she everywhere!!!"
