15 Dinner Party, My Girl is Afraid of Strangers

Watching Lu Shiyuan leave with Su Xianyi, Ding Jiaqi had a complicated expression on her face.

She glanced at Wei Yu'an, who was standing beside her with a pale face. She reached out to tug at his sleeve, but he flung her away. She looked at the waiter and said, "The bill."

There were quite a number of people who were watching the show. Ding Jiaqi could only grab her bag and follow him out of the restaurant. "Yu'an, what happened today was really a coincidence…"

"Cai Huimin saying those words was also a coincidence? She didn't know Yiyi at all? How are you going to explain this?"

Wei Yu'an was well aware of the schemes between girls. He could tolerate Ding Jiaqi's occasional little tricks and pampering.

However, this time, not only did she embarrass him and Su Xianyi, but she also offended Lu Shiyuan.

Wei Yu'an might not be very smart, but he would never joke about the Wei family and his future.

Ding Jiaqi was stunned by the question. "What she did, I…"

"Are you telling me that you don't know anything? Do you really think I'm stupid? Didn't my uncle make it so clear? We... Don't contact me for the time being."

Wei Yu'an got into the car and left, leaving Ding Jiaqi standing there in a daze.

He usually spoiled her, or else why would he bring her to a blind date? What was wrong this time…

**

On the other side, in the car.

Su Xianyi sat in the passenger seat obediently. Her back was straight, and the corners of her mouth were stiff. When she thought about how Lu Shiyuan had seen through her actions just now, she wished that a few knives would fall from the sky and stab her to death.

The weather was a little stuffy, but she felt like she was on the verge of collapse as she sat in the car.

Her image was completely gone.

Wei Yu'an, you idiot, you messed me up!

Xiao Dongyi, who was sitting in the back row, pretended to be playing with his phone, but he was actually observing the two of them.

"Are you uncomfortable?" It was rush hour after work and there was a traffic jam, so Lu Shiyuan had the time to glance at her.

Su Xianyi was stunned. "No."

"Raise your head."

His voice was very faint, but it had an inexplicable deterrent force.

Su Xianyi braced herself and looked at him. His gold-rimmed glasses were embellished with light, and the eyes behind the lenses stared straight at her. An invisible sense of oppression instantly surrounded her.

She felt stuffy and hot in the car, but she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. She couldn't understand what he was trying to do.

Under his gaze, her small face flushed red and she panicked. "Uncle…"

"Did you suffer a loss just now?"

Xiao Dongyi was speechless. Your girl is so fierce, how can she be at a disadvantage?

"No, I didn't."

"Do you keep in touch with Yu'an often?"

"Ah?" Su Xianyi was stunned.

What kind of method was this? Shouldn't he be asking about what happened in the restaurant next?

"I heard that you two were childhood sweethearts and grew up together."

Su Xianyi was also worried that he would misunderstand, so she shook her head reflexively. "That was when we were young. Our relationship now is just ordinary. Because he wanted to apologize for the last blind date, he kept asking me out, and it ended up like this."

"Always asking you out?" Lu Shiyuan raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Dongyi almost wanted to applaud a certain someone. He really knew what to focus on!

"Maybe he's afraid that I won't accept it, so he calls me from time to time." Su Xianyi pursed her lips and changed the topic. "Where are we going now?"

"I didn't manage to eat just now. I'll bring you to eat."

Xiao Dongyi interrupted. "There's a gathering for work tonight. Come with us."

"You're going to a colleagues' gathering. It's not appropriate for me to go." Su Xianyi smiled with a grimace. "Why don't you stop the car in front and let me out? This place is very close to where I live. I'll go home and eat."

Lu Shiyuan frowned. What was wrong with this girl tonight? Was there a man-eating monster in his car? It was as if her butt was on fire and itching to leave.

Xiao Dongyi smiled. "It's okay. Let's go together."

"I…" Su Xianyi raised her hand and lowered the brim of her hat. "I didn't put on makeup today."

"Haha!" Xiao Dongyi couldn't help but laugh. This girl was quite funny. Su Xianyi wanted to shut him up. What was so funny about that?

If she had known that she would see Lu Shiyuan today, she would not have dressed so casually.

After a certain someone had laughed enough, he heard Lu Shiyuan say in a low voice, "At your age, you look good without makeup."

Critical strike.

Su Xianyi only felt her face burning slightly.

Xiao Dongyi felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

This kid actually knew how to sweet-talk. Truly amazing.

In the past, who was the one who swore that there was no difference between men and women in this world? Then what was she?

"But there might be more people later. Do you mind?" Lu Shiyuan asked again.

Su Xianyi shook her head. "I'm just worried that it's not appropriate for me to go over."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. The director and the others will definitely bring along their families." Xiao Dongyi smiled. "I'll send a message to the director and ask them to reserve more seats."

Lu Shiyuan said, "With me around, don't worry."

Su Xianyi nodded.

"Yu'an's private life hasn't been handled well. Don't go out alone with him next time." His tone was like that of a kind and amiable elder, without a trace of selfishness.

"Alright."

..

Xiao Dongyi sat at the back and wanted to sing.

I should be under the car, not in the car, watching how sweet you guys are.

The place where Lu Shiyuan's colleagues gathered was not far from the First People's Hospital of the city. It was a Chinese restaurant, which they reached after two traffic lights. When they arrived at the private room, the seats were basically full.

Xiao Dongyi had informed them in advance, so they had left three empty chairs.

Perhaps they weren't expected to bring a girl along, so everyone was surprised and asked with a smile.

"Who is this pretty girl? I've never seen her before."

"Could she be one of your girlfriends?"

"..."

"She's Dr. Lu's niece. She came to our hospital last time." The one who spoke was Zhu Xiaonan. There was an empty seat beside her, probably specially reserved for Lu Shiyuan. However, she smiled at Su Xianyi. "Do you still remember me?"

Su Xianyi nodded in greeting.

Zhu Xiaonan smiled generously. "Do you want to sit next to me? There's an empty seat."

"I…" Su Xianyi couldn't refuse, but she didn't want to sit with her. Who would want to be so close to her love rival?

Just as she was about to agree, Lu Shiyuan looked at the two empty seats next to each other on the other side. "My girl is afraid of strangers. It's better for her to sit with me."

His… girl?

Bang! Bang!

Su Xianyi seemed to hear the sound of her own heartbeat. It was rapid and powerful, but it gradually lost its rhythm and lost control.

Xiao Dongyi was dumbfounded. There were only three empty seats, and the two of them were sitting next to each other. Then wouldn't he have to sit with Zhu Xiaonan?

Modern society was too unfriendly to single people. Drinking for half the price of the second glass, and now there was an inexplicable illusion of being involved in a love triangle.
