He frowned and his tall figure inched closer to her. "That Mu Chenchu? If it's her, I'll help you say that your time tonight belongs to me! Also, you don't have to be so careful around me. I'm not a monster. I can't open my mouth and swallow you. "
Xin Yu: "…"
"Let's go. I have something important to discuss with you. But I'm hungry now, so I don't want to talk. I'll only have the strength to talk after I'm full."
Xin Yu: "…"
Xin Yu had no choice but to follow Lu Yihan into the elevator. She took out her phone and pondered for a moment before she sent Qin Fangang a text.
"I contacted a classmate online, and he happened to be in D City. We had dinner together tonight, so I left first."
After confirming that there were no problems, Xin Yu pressed the send button with a guilty conscience.
Xin Yu's cautious and cautious look as she texted was reflected in Lu Yihan's eyes through the clean walls of the elevator.
She didn't know how ironic it was for Lu Yihan to see her like this.
Lu Yihan was not a fool. He was a proud son of God and also someone who stood at the top. Sometimes, he was just too lazy to be calculative. However, when he really put his mind on someone, how could he not sense their every move?
He took his wife out for a meal, but his wife stood behind him, thinking that she didn't know anything. She carefully took out her phone and sent a text message.
Oh, who was she reporting her whereabouts to?
Qin Fangang?
…
Lu Yihan subconsciously clenched his fists. His gaze fell heavily on the mirror on the elevator wall. He saw Xin Yu's conflicted expression after sending the text message. Her slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed. She seemed a little uneasy. Lu Yihan found it even more ridiculous.
It seemed like she had never treated him like this before.
He had always thought that she was a woman he didn't like. Now, he realized that the feeling of being above her was just a lie to himself.
Because from the beginning to the end, she had indeed been like what she had said to him before — she had never taken him seriously.
Lu Yihan watched as the elevator numbers changed one by one. From the 28th floor to the B2 floor, the numbers continued to drop. He only felt that at this moment, his heart was also following the frequency and continuously sinking.
It wasn't that painful, but the uncomfortable feeling was getting worse. It was like a vine entrenched at the tip of his heart, and it couldn't be removed.
When the elevator reached the underground parking lot, the double doors opened and Lu Yihan walked out.
From the beginning to the end, he acted like he didn't know anything. But his hands in his suit pockets clenched tighter and tighter.
Of course, Xin Yu didn't know that when she sent the text message, Lu Yihan's mind was already in a mess. She followed him out of the elevator and walked over to his champagne-colored Cayenne. When she saw him open the door to get in, Xin Yu paused and suddenly called out his name. "Lu Yihan, wait a minute."
Lu Yihan raised one brow. He held the car door with one hand and looked at her without saying a word.
"Let's make things clear first."
Xin Yu didn't wait for him to say anything. She said bluntly, "… You've told me a few times before, but every time, you've missed the point. This time, you asked me to have dinner with you. I hope you'll keep your promise. After dinner, we'll talk about what I want to talk about."
"What you want to talk about?"
Lu Yihan curled her lips, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile. "What do you want to talk about?"
"You know."
Xin Yu craned her neck. She wasn't afraid of Lu Yihan's cold gaze and said slowly, "You know very well what I want to talk to you about. If you're willing to talk to me, then I'll get in the car and have dinner with you. After dinner, we'll talk things out once and for all. If you're still the same as before … then I don't think there's a need for that."
Lu Yihan looked deeply at Xin Yu. After a moment, he chuckled softly. His laughter had a hint of self-mockery. His thin lips moved and he said, "Get in the car."
Xin Yu watched as he bent over and got into the driver's seat. She secretly guessed that he didn't say anything just now.
So, she still refused to get in the car. She was so cautious because she was anxious. Previously, she had talked to Lu Yihan a few times, but there was no news about the divorce. When she went to look for Lu Shiyun, she was immediately rejected. Now, she had no other choice but to go back and work on Lu Yihan.
But since he didn't agree, she felt that there was no need for her to get in the car.
She didn't want to waste Fearless's time.
Lu Yihan closed the car door. When Xin Yu didn't get in, he frowned slightly and reached out to roll down the car window. "I told you to get in the car."
"Promise me and I'll get in the car."
Lu Yihan looked at her without blinking. His deep gaze was too cold. In the end, all the coldness condensed together. He was so angry that he laughed. "Fine, I promise you. Get in the car."
Xin Yu's heart thumped uneasily.
Actually, Lu Yihan had crossed the line with her a few times before, so she was still a little afraid of him. But on second thought, these things had to be resolved. If they weren't resolved, it wouldn't be right for them to drag on forever. She had to face it eventually. She gritted her teeth and didn't give herself a chance to hesitate as she got into the car.
The moment the car door closed, the car sped off. Xin Yu didn't even have time to fasten her seatbelt. She couldn't help but gasp. Lu Yihan turned a deaf ear to her and stepped on the accelerator like his life depended on it. When they reached the restaurant, Xin Yu's face was deathly pale.
…
The restaurant's manager naturally recognized Lu Yihan. When he saw Master Lu and Lady Lu enter together, he eagerly welcomed them. Lu Yihan immediately instructed the manager to bring them to the private room upstairs.
When Xin Yu heard about the private room, her heart instantly tightened. She opened her mouth and said, "No need. Let's just go downstairs —"
She reached out and pointed at the window seat not far away. "Just there. It's more convenient."
Lu Yihan was speechless.
Xin Yu's thoughts were simple. If they were alone, she was afraid that Lu Yihan would do something to her. Hence, she felt that the window seat downstairs was the safest place.
No matter how unruly this man was, he wouldn't do something that she couldn't accept in a public place.
The two of them sat down and the waiter quickly served the menu. Xin Yu didn't have much of an appetite at all, so she randomly ordered a set meal. Unexpectedly, the waiter beside her introduced it very dutifully. "Lady Lu, we're holding an event for this set meal. You and Master Lu can choose a candlelight dinner today. This set meal will also include a piano or violin performance for the two of you …"
Xin Yu was speechless.
"Is that so?"
Lu Yihan crossed his long legs and rested his chin on one hand. Compared to his gloomy handsome face when he was driving just now, the expression between his brows was obviously not as tense as before. He seemed to be quite interested. His slender fingers gently stroked his chin. "Then we'll have this couple's set meal."
The waiter immediately smiled and nodded. "Yes, Master Lu."
Xin Yu's heart sank slightly. She frowned and was about to say something when Lu Yihan seemed to know what she wanted to say. He reached out and pushed the plate in front of him and spoke before she could, "… It's just a meal. It doesn't matter if it's a set meal or not. Furthermore, everyone here knows about my relationship with you. Don't say anything that will embarrass me."
"…"
Xin Yu was really speechless. Embarrass him?
He had done many things in the past that "embarrassed her". Now, he looked as if he could do whatever he wanted and not allow the common people to do whatever they wanted.
However, after thinking about it, she decided to let it go. As he said, it was just a meal. It didn't matter if it was a set meal or not.
Xin Yu swallowed the words in her throat and waited for the waiter to serve the food. She ate a little disinterestedly. Then she picked up the glass of water beside her and took a sip. She still chose to speak first. "… I'm almost done eating. I want to talk to you about —"
"I'm not done eating."
Lu Yihan didn't even lift his head but directly interrupted Xin Yu. After a moment, the cutlery in his hand fell onto the plate with a clatter. He paused for a moment before he lifted his head and looked at Xin Yu with a deep gaze. "Are you in such a hurry? It's just a meal with me. Can't you see that I'm only halfway done? "
Xin Yu was speechless.
Someone walked up to the piano and sat down. Soon, they began to play.
The beautiful music seemed to be able to make people feel happy. Since it was a set meal for couples, the music was naturally sweet. However, Xin Yu couldn't feel it at all. She only wanted to make things clear with Lu Yihan in the shortest time possible.
"Lu Yihan, let's make things clear, okay?"
Xin Yu took a deep breath. Her slender fingers instinctively twisted together. "I don't want to continue like this. Actually, if we continue like this, it won't do either of us any good. You should understand what I mean. I've already looked for Dad and told him about our divorce."
"He agreed?"
He was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to be so determined. He thought that she had only looked for him first, but he didn't expect that she would even look for the old man. Lu Yihan felt as though he had fallen straight to the bottom of the valley. This feeling wreaked havoc in his chest, making him even more irritable.
"He didn't agree."
Xin Yu told him the truth. "That's why I want to talk to you about it."
"About what? About the divorce? "
Lu Yihan sneered. His fingers exerted a little force as he pushed away the half-eaten plate in front of him. His knife and fork fell onto the table with a clatter. There seemed to be a faint smile on his face, but the light in his eyes was clearly sharp. "Leng Xinyu, do you really want to divorce me so badly? Hm? You must divorce me, right? "
"Yes."
Xin Yu was very calm. She nodded and continued, "There are some things that I don't want to repeat. Lu Yihan, there are no feelings between us. What's the point of continuing like this?"
"Are there no feelings between us, or do you have feelings for Qin Fangang?"
