After saying those words, Shi Yao wished that she could bite her tongue off.
Before entering Jin Maoyue, she had clearly seen a 24-hour KFC across the street, and to the left of Jin Maoyue was a McDonald's … But since she had already come up with a reason, she couldn't possibly just tear down her own cover, could she? Besides, it didn't matter whether the reason was embarrassing or not. What was important was that it was effective.
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao's eyes darted around for a moment before she stomped her feet anxiously and said, "I'm really in a hurry, please …"
The attendant didn't expect Shi Yao to make such a request either, and she was stunned for a full ten seconds. It was only after Shi Yao spoke up once more that she snapped out of her daze and pointed in a direction, "Miss, you can head down this road and turn left. You'll see the washroom there."
Shi Yao smiled at the waitress and thanked her before following the direction she was pointing in. As if she had seen hope, she jogged over to the 'washroom'.
After entering the restaurant, no one paid any attention to Shi Yao anymore. She quickly scanned the entire restaurant before finding Lin Jiage's seat by the window.
They had probably finished their meal by now. Other than dessert, there was only a plate of fruits on the table.
In truth, Lin Jiage wasn't seated at the table. There was only a woman there.
Even though Shi Yao had never met Liang Xiao before, she could still tell from the photo that she had seen earlier that she was Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao looked much more beautiful in real life than in the photo that Liang Mumu had sent her.
At this moment, she was holding a mirror in her hand and reapplying her lipstick.
Even though Shi Yao couldn't get a good look at Liang Xiao from afar, she could still sense the latter's overwhelming beauty and the elegance and disposition that had been nurtured from a young age.
It wasn't that Shi Yao hadn't seen beautiful and outstanding women before, but this was the first time she was comparing herself to someone else.
Liang Mumu was right. No matter how she looked at Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao looked better than her.
Everyone had their own strengths, but for some reason, Shi Yao couldn't help but feel inferior when she looked at Liang Xiao.
Perhaps this was the embodiment of liking someone. You'd always feel that you weren't good enough, afraid that you weren't good enough, and always want to make yourself better.
While Shi Yao was deep in thought as she stared at Liang Xiao, Lin Jiage walked over.
Noticing Lin Jiage's presence, Liang Xiao stopped reapplying her lipstick and raised her head to look at him.
Lin Jiage's back was facing Shi Yao, so she couldn't see the expression on his face. However, she could clearly see the dazzling smile blossoming on Liang Xiao's face the instant her eyes met Lin Jiage's.
Lin Jiage didn't sit down. Instead, the two of them continued chatting, one standing while the other lifted his head. It was hard to tell what they were discussing, but eventually, Lin Jiage took his coat from the back of the chair while Liang Xiao stuffed her mirror and lipstick into her bag before standing up.
Did they … mean that they were leaving?
Shi Yao quickly scanned her surroundings before hiding behind a pillar not too far away.
Soon, Lin Jiage and Liang Xiao walked over.
Along the way, the two of them seemed to be talking about something. Most of it was Liang Xiao speaking, but Shi Yao didn't pay much attention to what the latter was saying. She only knew that Liang Xiao was beautiful and elegant, and even her voice was pleasant to the ears.
