Chapter 231: Friends’ Meeting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wen Miao considered Mei Shu a close friend and naturally wanted to be a part of her social circle.
As for Mei Shu, although Lu Si had a somewhat special status, it wasn’t to the extent that he couldn’t be seen in public. They had no unnecessary entanglements, so there was nothing to hide.
They had already confirmed with each other earlier that they only considered each other as ordinary friends.
This arrangement suited Mei Shu well and made her feel more comfortable in this relationship.
The restaurant wasn’t too far from where Jiang He and the others were, just a ten-minute drive, so Wen Miao didn’t have to wait long to see Mei Shu’s friend as she had mentioned.
A few idle waitresses had gathered at the entrance of the restaurant.
It wasn’t mealtime, so there weren’t many customers coming and going, and the staff were all a bit lazy.
As they chatted together, the glass door of the restaurant suddenly swung open from the outside.
Out of habit, they all glanced toward the door but had no intention of going to greet the newcomer. However, when they saw the face of the person entering, they stood up straight in disbelief.
The man had long narrow eyes with a few long eyelashes hanging above them. His high and straight nose made his whole face look handsome and dignified, and the slight frown between his brows added a touch of imposing aura.
His presence exuded an inherent nobility and power, making the waitstaff hesitant to approach him. Only a girl with a starry-eyed look on her face dared to go forward and ask, “Sir, are you here to eat?”
The man lowered his gaze, and his sharp eyes scanned the girl, instantly adding an air of dominance. “No.”
“No?” The girl was momentarily confused, unable to fathom why someone would come to a restaurant if not to eat.
The manager quickly pulled the girl behind him and smiled obsequiously, “Sir, are you here to meet someone?”
“Yes.” The man nodded lightly, scanning the surroundings before finally locking onto a young woman sitting in the far corner who was engaged in a conversation with someone else. A faint smile played on his lips. “I found her.”
He took a step, his long legs carrying him directly towards that direction.
Wen Miao’s cheerful voice came to a halt when she saw this unexpected guest. She stared wide-eyed at the strikingly handsome man who had suddenly appeared behind Mei Shu. Her mouth nearly watered.
Mei Shu had heard footsteps approaching from behind earlier but hadn’t expected the person to stop right behind her.
She put down her tea cup and turned to look, her gaze unexpectedly falling into the dark eyes of Lu Si. Her heart inexplicably tightened. “You’re here.”
“Yes.” Lu Si remained standing, his eyes fixed firmly on her.
The seating at Mei Shu and Wen Miao’s table could accommodate four people, but since both Mei Shu and Wen Miao were sitting on the outer sides, Lu Si would have to ask Mei Shu to make way if he wanted to sit in the innermost seat by the window.
Jiang He cleared his throat as a reminder. “Miss Mei, why don’t we sit down and talk? Standing here and chatting is drawing too much attention.”
Wherever Master Si went, he attracted attention. If they didn’t sit down soon, they might end up with people taking sneak photos, thinking he was a famous celebrity to hype up on social media!
Mei Shu finally realized and hastily moved to the inner seat. “I’m sorry, I zoned out for a moment. Please, have a seat.”
She rarely found herself so absent-minded, but just now, she couldn’t help but be drawn by the emotions flickering in Lu Si’s eyes and wanted to explore what those emotions were.
Fortunately, Lu Si sat down beside her without any further comment.
Seeing the situation, Wen Miao also followed Mei Shu and moved inside, making space for Jiang He.
After taking a seat, Wen Miao’s eyes couldn’t leave Lu Si at all. Seeing him appear cold as ice, she gathered her courage and struck up a conversation, “You’re the good friend that Mei Shu mentioned, right? You must be much older than Mei Shu, aren’t you?”
As soon as Wen Miao spoke, Lu Si’s face darkened.
Jiang He quickly said, “Well, Master Si is also young. There isn’t too much of an age difference between him and you two. You won’t even notice it when you two go to college!”
His words seemed to be making things worse.
Lu Si shot him a displeased look, successfully silencing Jiang He. “Does age have anything to do with being friends?”
Wen Miao realized she had said something inappropriate and quickly shook her head. “No, that’s not what I meant. I was just curious about Mei Shu’s friend. I thought he might be a student like us.”
“Ah Si is already the CEO of a company at such a young age,” Mei Shu interjected with a smile, diverting the conversation. “You shouldn’t focus on age. By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?”
Lu Si glanced at Wen Miao but remained silent.
Mei Shu continued, “Wen Miao isn’t a stranger. You can go ahead and say what you want.”
Hearing her words, Wen Miao’s eyes lit up with excitement. She couldn’t help but grab Mei Shu’s hand, shaking it vigorously. “Shu’er, you’re so good to me. Don’t worry, I’ll be your friend for life!”
“I know.”
Mei Shu gently patted Wen Miao’s hand. It was a heartwarming scene, but unfortunately, there was a pair of eyes nearby that didn’t seem too pleased.
“What’s wrong with you?” Mei Shu inexplicably felt her heart skip a beat..
