Chapter 289: Defining the Relationship

Yan Xi had intended to slip away by greasing her heels, but unexpectedly, Lu Chen seemed to have anticipated her little trick in advance.

Lu Chen was walking over steadily, but as soon as he detected Yan Xi's intention, his steps quickened, he even broke into a light jog. Just as Yan Xi was about to run, he stretched out his long arm and pulled her back.

"Where do you think you're going?" Lu Chen asked with a slightly darkening expression.

Yan Xi, seeing her escape had failed, was silent for a moment before revealing a smile uglier than crying, "I, uh, my stomach hurts, I wanted to go to the bathroom for a bit."

Stomach ache?

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow.

She didn't look like she had a stomach ache at all, but rather like she was looking for an excuse to slip away.

Because Wen Zhi was there, Lu Chen still left some dignity for Yan Xi, not exposing her on the spot.
