He loved hearing her say the word 'too'

Xie Xuan also poured a glass of water for himself.

He lifted the glass, took a sip, and calmly said, "Hmm, I mind, because I don't eat."

He didn't want to hide anything from her.

Lu Haiqiao looked at the menu again.

Her slightly drooping eyelashes, and her naturally pink lips curled into a faint arc. She had a playful and charming look, like a triumphant little fox.

"That's good because I don't like it too," Lu Haiqiao teased.

Xie Xuan paused for a moment, then chuckled helplessly.

He loved hearing her say the word 'too'

As if there was an invisible thread binding them tightly, unbreakable and inseparable.

At this moment, she turned her head to the waiter and said, "Excuse me, I need to place an order."

…

The lunch lasted about an hour.

Although she did not mention it, Xie Xuan still discovered her unique taste preferences.

It was unique.

Unique to the point of liking things like bitter melon.

She didn't have a big appetite. After finishing her main course, she lifted her fork and reached for the appetizing salad.

What she picked out were all vegetables like bitter melon and purple cabbage. She didn't touch any other sweet ingredients, such as cherry tomatoes or bananas. She even refused the waiter's suggestion of a dessert after ordering.

Strawberry red velvet cake ice cream.

Although it was a seasonal limited edition worth trying in the restaurant, for her, the taste must be cloyingly sweet.

At this moment, she took out her phone and makeup bag. "I'm sorry, I need to use the restroom."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan nodded in acknowledgment.

She pushed her chair back and stood up. Almost at the same time, Xie Third walked into the restaurant from outside.

They brushed past each other and took a couple of steps forward. Lu Haiqiao seemed to recall something and stopped.

She glanced at Xie Third and suddenly felt that the man in the black suit looked a little familiar.

Not wanting to draw attention, she quickly averted her gaze and continued on her way to the restroom.

On the way, her mind raced, trying to find any trace left by that figure.

However, she was unsuccessful.

So she thought that maybe people could look alike, and she was just being overly suspicious.

…

The restaurant.

Xie Third walked over to Xie Xuan and bent down significantly, whispering a few words in his ear.

After listening, the young man holding a crystal glass instantly wiped away the faint smile from his lips. He turned his head slightly, looking up at the seemingly close blue sky and white clouds, his expression cool and aloof.

"Master, do you think we should…"

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xuan raised his hand and gently waved his index finger. "Don't rush, I haven't finished my meal yet."

Xie Third's expression was solemn. "But…"

Xie Xuan interrupted him. "I know what I'm doing."

Xie Third immediately fell silent.

After a few seconds, Xie Xuan suddenly extended his index finger and motioned for him to come closer.

Xie Third leaned forward.

Approaching with the mindset of accepting important instructions, he tensed all his nerves, afraid of missing a single word.

To his surprise, Xie Xuan spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, saying, "Third Brother, I want you to go to the coffee shop next door and bring me the set of coffee machines specifically for brewing Americano."

"Also, bring some Blue Mountain coffee beans while you're at it."

Xie Third: "???"

So, your propriety was to move the coffee machine from next door?

"By the way…"

Before he could recover from his shock, Xie Xuan continued speaking.

Xie Third, now on high alert, moved closer again.

Xie Xuan: "Once you've brought the coffee machine over, place it on the counter, and then you can leave."

Xie Third: "…"
