“Your hands…” An looked at Lu Yan’s hands and was at a loss for words.
“Oh. Coarse skin. I can’t help it.” Lu Yan smiled indifferently.
“How did you get it?”
“I was born with it.”
An: “…”
He felt defeated and speechless at her blatant lie.
“Where do you want to go? Shall I drive you back to South Hill Manor?” An asked.
“It’s early. Let’s go and have lunch to thank you for rescuing me.” Lu Yan took the passenger seat and grinned.
“I’ll have lunch with you, but you must promise me one thing first.”
“Whoa. You dare to bargain with me with the threat of not having lunch with me? Are you tired of living?” Lu Yan looked at An, finding the situation quite funny.
“I don’t care. If you don’t agree, I won’t have lunch with you.” An was determined.
“Okay, okay. Tell me what you want me to promise.”
“Can you promise me not to fight with people?” An looked at Lu Yan helplessly.
Lu Yan: “…”
“You sound as if I always get into fistfights with people.” Lu Yan looked at An in disgust.
“Great Miss Lu Yan, you’ve been here for only a few days; do you remember how many fights you’ve gotten into?” An looked at her also in disgust.
“Um… Those were child’s play. Don’t fuss about it.”
“I don’t care. If you don’t promise, I won’t have lunch with you. I’ll drive you back to South Hill Manor or to South Side. I see you listen to Dr. Huo.”
“Don’t. I promise you, okay? Now let’s go to lunch.”
With the twins in school and Huo Mian at work, only Huo Mian’s in-laws were at South Hill Manor, so Lu Yan didn’t want to return to the house.
“Good.”
Seeing Lu Yan promise him without hesitation, An nodded and relaxed.
“What do you want to eat?” An asked.
“Do you have any special food in this place?”
“Does Ah-Xin’s Ramen count?” An asked.
To be honest, An hadn’t liked ramen but since Su Yu always went to eat it for some reason, An had gone with him a few times.
Then he grew to love it and would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t eat it for a few days.
“Damn it. I don’t want to eat it…” Hearing the mention of Ah-Xin’s Ramen, Lu Yan shook her head immediately.
She knew it was a small noodle stall where her elder sister dated Qin Chu when they were in high school. The ramen in the stall was 2 yuan for one bowl.
To be honest, Lu Yan didn’t think it was good.
“Why not?”
“My sister and brother-in-law always go there because it reminds them of their youth. It means nothing to us.”
“No. I truly think the ramen in that restaurant is good.”
“Bullshit. It’s just a mind trick. No, I want to eat hot pot.”
Now that Lu Yan declared she wanted to have hot pot, An wouldn’t dare to object.
“How about the Taste of Sichuan? The hotpot there is quite good.”
“Okay.”
Crossing her legs, Lu Yan put on sunglasses and looked out of the window.
An drove Su Yu’s Lamborghini and took her to the hotpot restaurant.
Meanwhile in Moscow.
“Young Master, here’s the report.”
Qiao Fei’s subordinate sent the newest video to his cellphone.
Opening it, his face fell immediately.
The damned woman Lu Yan would eat hotpot with a young guy in China?
He read the description on the bottom and saw the guy’s background; he was Su Yu’s bodyguard.
Yan didn’t have much interaction with Su Yu; instead, she was enjoying herself with Su Yu’s bodyguard.
Three minutes later, Qiao Feil picked up his cellphone and dialed a number.
Meanwhile in China.
An and Lu Yan got out of the car and walked toward the hotpot restaurant; at the door, they saw the “Closed” sign and many customers were driven out of the restaurant.
“Hey! What’s happening?” Lu Yan was curious.
“We’re closed. Please go and eat in another place.”
“It’s lunchtime, you guys aren’t operating? What is this, a joke?” Lu Yan was puzzled.
