Shen Fanxing spoke quickly, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to explain herself.
Silence…
After a long while, Bo Jinchuan’s voice sounded…
“Mrs Bo.”
“Yes, I am!” Shen Fanxing sat upright.
Silence…
Bo Jinchuan didn’t know what to say.
After a pause, he said,
“Which restaurant is it? I’ll pick you up.”
“Oh… you want to come too?”
“What do you think?”
“Welcome.”
–
In the barbecue restaurant, Lu Hui and Shen Fanxing sat opposite each other. Lu Hui was the one grilling the food the entire time.
Her movements were natural and calm.
“Have you been staying in Ping Cheng since you graduated?” asked Shen Fanxing.
“Yes. The development opportunities here are not bad.” He smiled bitterly. “But the competition is also very intense. After all these years, I’ve only been a small assistant.”
“Of course not.” Shen Fanxing took a sip of water and said, “Every position has its inevitability and development. As long as you work hard, everything will be fine.”
Lu Hui placed the roasted meat on Shen Fanxing’s plate. Instead of continuing the topic, he said,
“How did you meet Young Master Bai?”
“Oh, a nodding acquaintance. His father is in charge of the mall under the Bo Group. There’s a counter for my designs in the mall. That’s all.”
“In that case…”
Lu Hui pondered for a moment and nodded. “But you should keep a distance from him. The woman beside him… Uh, she’s a rich second-generation heir. You should understand… She’s good at dealing with women. You have to learn to protect yourself.”
Shen Fanxing paused. Seeing his awkward expression, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Thank you for the reminder. No, I don’t think I’ll have anything to do with him. I have a boyfriend.”
“Huh? Oh right, I forgot that you’re getting engaged soon. But… you’re actually not that old. Why do you have to get married so early… I don’t mean anything else. I just feel that you’re a good person. You’re beautiful, capable, and not short of money. Why do you have to suffer by marrying a nouveau riche…”
“…”
“Of course, if you really like it, it’s a different story. It’s not like nouveau riche are all brave and brainless.”
Shen Fanxing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Who said that my boyfriend is a nouveau riche?”
Lu Hui exclaimed, “The ones online…”
“You believe it?”
“But your exorbitant betrothal gift a while ago was really shocking…”
Shen Fanxing held her forehead and said, “That… does seem like a tycoon… In that case… it sounds more and more like a bandit…”
Lu Hui was stunned again. “Bandit…”
“So that’s how you describe me in front of others?”
A deep and clear voice sounded. Shen Fanxing felt a numbness in her feet and her hair stood on end.
Lu Hui paused and subconsciously looked up at the man beside him.
The meat on the meat clip fell onto the metal plate.
Shen Fanxing glanced at him, looking as though she was saying, “Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?”
When she looked up again, she saw a tall and slender man looking at her with a handsome and gloomy face. His dark eyes were looking at her unkindly.
She grinned awkwardly and looked at the man.
She immediately understood and moved towards the sofa.
Then, his tall and strong figure pressed down on her. He unbuttoned his suit and sat beside Shen Fanxing elegantly.
There was no expression on his handsome face, and his indifferent eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
However, his hands were burning with passion. His long arms wrapped around Shen Fanxing’s slender waist and he pulled her into his embrace.
That intimate gesture made it seem like the two of them were having an affair!
Lu Hui stared blankly at Bo Jinchuan, his eyes moving left and right with difficulty.
She looked at Bo Jinchuan and then at Shen Fanxing.
The more he read, the more incredulous he felt.
Was he hallucinating?
But why did he have such an illusion that had nothing to do with her?
“Ahem…” Seeing Lu Hui’s stunned expression, Shen Fanxing coughed lightly and said,” Lu Hui, this is my Mr Bandit… ”
Lu Hui’s eyes trembled. He slowly put down the wooden clip in his hand and muttered to Bo Jinchuan,
“Hello, bandit…”
Bo Jinchuan narrowed his eyes and his sharp gaze pierced through his forehead.
He suddenly reacted and shook his head quickly. “No, no, no. Hello, Mr… Mr. Bo.”
Bo Jinchuan glanced at him and nodded lightly. His thin lips parted slightly as he said,
“Hello.”
He had to give face to his wife’s classmate.
Shen Fanxing tensed up and said to Bo Jinchuan, “This is my classmate, Lu Hui. He’s the assistant of CEO Bai’s son, who is in charge of the new mall.”
CEO Bai’s son’s assistant?
Bo Jinchuan frowned slightly. Was she complaining to him?
The person in charge of the mall was actually involved in the family business?
“Why did the two of you meet?”
Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “Young Master Bai is having a meeting in a hotel room.”
Bo Jinchuan replied calmly, but his gaze landed on the grill in the middle of the table.
Seeing this, Lu Hui picked up the chopsticks again and placed the meat on the grill.
There was a sizzling sound as Lu Hui roasted the meat. When it was almost done, he gave it to Shen Fanxing.
However, there was a click.
The clip was forced to stop in mid-air when Bo Jinchuan blocked it with his chopsticks and stared at him coldly.
“What do you want?”
Lu Hui paused. “The meat is ready.”
Bo Jinchuan pondered for a moment before taking the tongs from Lu Hui. He handed the piece of meat to Lu Hui before picking up a new piece of meat and roasting it himself.
There were no wrinkles on his expensive suit. When he raised his hand, the white shirt on his wrist was spotless. The diamond cufflinks shone brightly under the light.
No matter how one looked at it, he looked like a pampered noble.
Yet, he was involved in barbecuing meat!
“…”
“…”
She simply didn’t fit in.
The huge barbeque shop couldn’t contain him.
“The temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you.”
Shen Fanxing and Lu Hui exchanged glances and smiled awkwardly.
In the silence between the two of them, black smoke slowly rose from the middle of the grill…
