Qin Zhi 'ai picked up her phone and glanced at the caller ID. She was surprised for a moment before answering the call. "Hello? Brother Bancheng? "
"You haven't had dinner yet, right?" Lu Bancheng sounded like he was driving. She could hear his honking through the phone.
"Not yet … What's wrong?"
"Great, I'll be right downstairs …" Lu Bancheng looked down at the time. "About ten minutes. Come downstairs in ten minutes, and we'll go out for dinner."
This was the first time Lu Bancheng had taken the initiative to ask her out for dinner. Qin Zhi 'ai was a little stunned and held the phone in silence.
Over the phone, Lu Bancheng seemed to know what Qin Zhi 'ai was confused about, so he quickly explained, "Aren't you leaving tomorrow? After all, we're friends, so I have to see you off … "
After a pause, Lu Bancheng said, "Xiao 'ai, don't tell me you don't see me as a friend?"
"No …" Since Lu Bancheng had already said it, Qin Zhi 'ai didn't refuse. "I'll go wash my face. See you in a bit."
…
Lu Bancheng took Qin Zhi 'ai to a century-old restaurant, and they ordered some simple home-cooked dishes.
Lu Bancheng had wanted to order a bottle of good wine, but Qin Zhi 'ai couldn't drink it, so he ended up ordering good tea instead.
The restaurant was located near the Forbidden City. Through the window, they could see the brightly lit Forbidden City.
The waiter quickly served tea, and Lu Bancheng poured a cup for Qin Zhi 'ai like a gentleman. She smiled politely and said, "Thank you."
Lu Bancheng looked up at Qin Zhi 'ai and lowered his head to pour himself a cup of tea. He picked it up and took a sip before saying, "I wanted to bring Brother Sheng over tonight, but something happened at his house, so I couldn't come. Nuannuan wasn't there, and Haozi and her got into a fight. I figured you wouldn't want to see Haozi, so I came alone."
Qin Zhi 'ai lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. She put down the empty cup and thought for a moment before asking Lu Bancheng the question that had been on her mind for a long time. "Is Old Master Gu awake now?"
"Huh? How did you know? "Lu Bancheng, who was pouring tea, looked at Qin Zhi 'ai in surprise.
"Yesterday, when I was on the phone with President Gu, I found out …"
Qin Zhi 'ai had been Gu Yusheng's secretary for a few months, and because of her relationship with Wu Hao and Xu Wennuan, they often got together, so Lu Bancheng didn't think it was inappropriate for Qin Zhi' ai to contact Gu Yusheng. He suddenly understood and answered Qin Zhi 'ai's question. "I went to the hospital this afternoon. Grandpa Gu hasn't woken up yet. He's not in good condition and has been talking nonsense …"
"Didn't you think of any other way?"
"We've invited two experts from abroad, and we've also found a traditional Chinese doctor …"
"Oh," Qin Zhi 'ai replied. After a while, she asked, "How is Master Gu?"
"What's so good about it?" Lu Bancheng shook his head without thinking.
"Grandpa Gu is Brother Sheng's only family in this world. Now that he's so sick, how can he feel good?"
"That's not all. Because of Xiaokou, Brother Sheng and Grandpa Gu have been fighting for more than a year. Now that Grandpa Gu is sick, I'm afraid that no matter how reluctant Brother Sheng is, he will agree to marry Xiaokou for the sake of Grandpa Gu …"
"Marry?" Qin Zhi 'ai frowned. "Aren't they already married?"
