Before long, Cao Wenxin walked in. She didn’t know that there were so many people inside, so she was a little surprised when she pushed the door open.
Once the door was open, everyone looked at her.
A touch a jealousy flashed by Di Runa’s eyes when she saw another woman who was more beautiful than her show up.
“There are a few vacant seats. Sit wherever you want,” Gu Ning said.
Cao Wenxin walked over. When Xin Bei appeared in her sight, she was obviously surprised and felt slightly nervous as well as excited.
However, she became quite displeased when she noticed that Xin Bei and Xu Jinchen were surrounded by so many women. “Wow, what a lucky day for you two single gentlemen to have so many pretty women to dine with you!”
Saying that, Cao Wenxin sat as far away as she could from the rest of the people in the room. There were seven continuous vacant seats, and Cao Wenxin sat right in the middle with three continuous vacant seats at both of her sides.
Hearing that, everyone frowned. Some women disliked her at once.
“They’re all Qinyin’s friends, and I know none of them,” Xin Bei said with annoyance. It seemed he didn’t want to be misunderstood. However, it sounded a little impolite too.
Cao Wenxin, however, felt much better.
A woman disliked the way Cao Wenxin talked about them, so she pretended that she was just joking and said, “You’re right. Although Mr. Xin doesn’t know any of us, he’s really lucky to dine with a group of beautiful women.”
“Exactly! Mr. Xin, don’t you think today is your lucky day?” another woman said.
Both of them said it in a joking tone, and didn’t find fault with Cao Wenxin’s behavior, so the others all thought that they were just joking, even Xin Bei didn’t think that it was inappropriate. Nevertheless, Cao Wenxin sensed their strong hatred towards her, and was annoyed.
“Right! Today is Mr. Xin’s lucky day, but I think Mr. Xin should deal with something else first before he starts to enjoy this meal with so many pretty women,” Cao Wenxin said in an ironic tone.
Hearing that, Xin Bei frowned, looking to Cao Wenxin with confusion. “What thing?”
“The thing about Yu Wenjing,” Cao Wenxin sneered. “Xin Bei, although we’ve already cleared up the misunderstanding, I don’t want to take the blame for you.”
“Yu Wenjing came to City B a while ago, and I encountered her in a shopping mall. She swore at me for no reason and even said that I’m a siren. She also insisted that we’re dating. I denied it, but she wouldn’t let it go and even harassed me by calling and texting me with different phone numbers many times. I seriously have no idea how she got my phone number, but please tell her to stop doing it or I’ll punch her to disability,” Cao Wenxin said with a serious face.
She had been harassed by Yu Wenjing for a long time. Although Yu Wenjing was hardly her match, she was quite displeased being harassed all day. Once Cao Wenxin blacklisted Yu Wenjing’s phone number, Yu Wenjing would use another phone number to insult her.
She came to the capital this time in order to attend Ai Xinyu’s birthday party and also to pay Yu Wenjing back.
Hearing that, everyone thought that there must be something going on between Cao Wenxin and Xin Bei, otherwise the woman called Yu Wenjing wouldn’t keep harassing Cao Wenxin.
At this moment, several women who admired Xin Bei around the table had a bad impression of him. They disliked a man who dated several women at the same time.
Xin Bei, however, was astonished to hear that, and asked subconsciously, “How could she know that we’re dating?”
Hearing that, the other women all realized that there was indeed something going on between them.
“I’m not dating you!” Cao Wenxin denied at once.
The others around the table watched the drama in silence.
Xin Bei immediately realized that he had said something wrong, so he explained it without delay. “Of course not. I meant, why did she insist that we’re dating?”
“Her friend saw us hanging out together at the Lantern Festival and sent a picture of us to her,” Cao Wenxin said.
Nonetheless, Cao Wenxin somehow felt that it was very wrong. She tried to explain that she wasn’t dating Xin Bei, but her explanation proved that they did hang out together.
“We hung out together with our families. Why did she have to say that we’re dating?” Xin Bei didn’t understand it.
Hearing that, everyone realized that there was a misunderstanding.
“I don’t know!” Cao Wenxin said with annoyance.
All of a sudden, Gu Ning opened her mouth. “Maybe she thinks you’ll make a great couple!”
Both Cao Wenxin and Xin Bei were struck dumb for a second, but Cao Wenxin denied it at once. “It’s not true! Ningning, Shaoting has peeled so many shrimp for you. Why can’t you focus on eating!”
Xin Bei felt slightly disappointed when Cao Wenxin denied it. He thought that maybe she really hated him.
Gu Ning looked to Leng Shaoting and asked him with an innocent face, “Am I wrong?”
“You’re right,” Leng Shaoting said.
“Well, I do think Xin Bei and Wenxin will make a great couple,” Xu Qinyin said. She suddenly had a feeling that it wasn’t a bad idea.
“Their parents have the same idea,” Gu Ning said again.
“Stop it!” Cao Wenxin flushed.
Xin Bei remained silent, like he agreed with it. He, of course, knew that Cao Wenxin’s parents approved of him. However, it seemed Cao Wenxin disliked him.
Others around the table also noticed the chemistry between them.
