NovelEnglishThat waiter was scolded to the point that he was apologizing profusely. Having such a large commotion in the originally quiet restaurant made one inexplicably irritated.
Lu Lixing displeasedly set his glass of wine down on the table heavily and the knocking sound from it instantly made Gu Shaoyu shut his mouth.
Shen Weiwei smiled and told the waiter, “Alright alright, you can head back first. I’m alright.”
After the waiter apologized a couple more times did he finally leave.
Regarding Shen Weiwei’s private matters, Ji Qingqing had absolutely no interest in understanding them. But since Shen Weiwei had Lu Liting as a boyfriend, why did she still attend the fake couple program? When Lu Liting sees his girlfriend being lovey-dovey with other guys on the stream, wouldn’t he feel uncomfortable?
“Mr. Lu, say, Shen Weiwei being on this program, does your younger brother know about it?”
“I’m not sure if he knows about it,” Lu Lixing said leisurely. “But, no man is willing to helplessly watch as his beloved woman acts lovey-dovey with another man on public television.”
The lines that Lu Lixing said successfully made Ji Qingqing remember the time when Lu Lixing participated in the program and kept it from her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo the reason why Lu Lixing attended this program was exactly like how he said: he couldn’t helplessly watch his beloved woman act lovey-dovey with another man on public television?
Beloved woman?
Is this the apparent meaning?
Ji Qingqing knowingly glanced at Lu Lixing. She pursed her lips together and chuckled.
Lu Lixing lightly narrowed his eyes. “You care this much about Lu Liting?”
“He’s your younger brother. Of course, I care about him.”
Lu Lixing’s voice subconsciously became colder. “He’s also your ex-boyfriend. In the future, maintain your distance from him.”
Seeing what was subtly written on his face, Ji Qingqing purposely furrowed her brows and replied, “But he’s your younger brother. In the future, we may have to live in the same house. We’ll be seeing each other frequently…”
“Hm?” Lu Lixing made a disgruntled sound.
Ji Qingqing swiftly laughed and replied, “I’ll think of a way to maintain my distance from him.”
The waiter served the dishes they had ordered.
Seeing the plentiful and mouth-watering dishes, Ji Qingqing’s appetite increased greatly and she began to eat heartily.
Shen Weiwei secretly glanced at Lu Lixing from where she was seated and whispered, “Shaoyu, it’s alright. I’m really fine.”
“Then that’s good.” Gu Shaoyu didn’t want to make a fool of himself and seem cringey in front of the person he liked, but he was extremely uncomfortable about being made to shut up from the knocking sound Lu Lixing made just now.
Shen Weiwei seemed to be able to see right through Gu Shaoyu’s troubled mind. “I was really shocked just now. President Lu, he…
“However, President Lu expanded the Lu Corporation’s standing at such a young age. I feel that those who are in high positions for a long time are all like that. They have a sort of energy to them and no one dares to mess with them. Actually, I look up to him a lot. Shaoyu didn’t you say you respect him like he’s a big brother?”
Now, this managed to save Gu Shaoyu from a loss of face.
“Yes, my dad frequently mentions him.”

Such considerate words from Shen Weiwei indeed made Gu Shaoyu feel grateful. He smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.
After Lu Lixing and Ji Qingqing finished eating, they took a stroll in the hotel’s garden and then went back to their room.
As Ji Qingqing had gone back to sleep after waking up during the morning, she didn’t feel tired. Meanwhile, Lu Lixing too didn’t have the habit of taking an afternoon nap. The two of them had nothing to do and stared at each other wide-eyed. “Mr. Lu, do you feel that dating should be like this?”
Lu Lixing sure was straightforward. “I have no experience. How do you think one should date?”
How would she, Ji Qingqing, have the experience? But even so she didn’t dare to say this as her current self was a woman who had three past boyfriends.
Just as Ji Qingqing was contemplating this, Lu Lixing took the car keys on the table and said, “Let’s go.”
Ji Qingqing followed him and got up. “Where to?” she confusedly asked.
“To date.”
