Chapter 431: Chapter 431: The Empress Starts to Care About Director Lu Chapter 431: Chapter 431: The Empress Starts to Care About Director Lu “Sir, the young madam ca back at noon and just left,” she said she had made plans with a friend and told us not to wait for her to dine.”
Lu Hualiang furrowed his brow, clearly in a bad mood.
He sat down on the sofa and then called her.
“Director Lu, are you looking for for sothing?”
“Where are you?” Lu Hualiang said with a slightly heavy voice.
Those familiar with his character knew he was displeased.
“I have dinner plans with a… friend tonight. You don’t need to wait for .”
She had initially thought to ntion that she was eting Fang Lilin,
but when the words reached her lips, she rembered it seed Lu Hualiang did not like her eting with Fang Lilin.
So she subconsciously changed her wording.
“Which friend?”
The sowhat stern tone made Xia Weibao unhappy.
Was she a prisoner that she had to report everything she did to him?
“A colleague from the company, the boss is treating us to dinner.”
Lu Hualiang’s brows knitted even tighter.
Leng Yan that stingy dog would treat people to dinner?
Although puzzled, he also detected the displeasure in her voice.
He didn’t pursue further, and his tone softened, “Co back early.”
His attitude had softened, which lifted Xia Weibao’s spirits a bit; her voice beca soft and tender, “Mm, I know.”
After hanging up the phone, a car stopped right in front of her.
The car door opened, and Fang Lilin got out.
This was the first ti Xia Weibao saw Fang Lilin in a suit.
Previously, she had seen him only in military uniform.
She found the sight striking.
Feeling her gaze on him, Fang Lilin felt sowhat awkward.
“Do I look very bad in this?”
“Not at all, you look very gentlemanly, very handso.”
“Actually, I rarely dress this way. I’m usually in the barracks, wearing a military uniform.”
“It’s a different feeling, isn’t it? Wearing a military uniform feels just, wearing a suit feels gentlemanly.”
Fang Lilin’s face turned a shade redder; Mo Xing was right.
For a first date with a girl, dress more gentlemanly.
It tends to bridge the gap more easily.
Wearing a military uniform is too stern.
They chatted while walking inside when Xia Weibao suddenly stopped.
Her eyes sharply swept behind her.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing her act unusual, Fang Lilin asked with concern.
“I feel like soone is following us.”
Fang Lilin chuckled lightly, “Don’t worry, this hotel has the highest level of privacy in the entire imperial city; non-mbers can’t get in.”
Celebrities dread paparazzi, especially Xia Weibao who has had many controversies lately.
Inviting her to dinner, he naturally chose the best hotel.
Yet Xia Weibao’s brows didn’t relax.
She looked around and indeed saw no one.
Only then did she proceed inside.
Currently tangled in scandal, her life was chaotic enough.
If she was exposed entering a hotel with a man, she probably couldn’t clear her na even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Still feeling apprehensive, Fang Lilin requested a private room.
Xia Weibao finally felt sowhat relieved.
Inside the private room, they sat facing each other, with Fang Lilin looking at her tenderly.
“Baby, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
Xia Weibao’s hand holding the teacup stiffened, and she forced a smile, “It’s nothing.”
Even though many people called her Baby, and Lu Hualiang would occasionally as well,
she didn’t know why, but it felt awkward coming from Fang Lilin’s mouth.
“What would you like to eat?”
Fang Lilin passed the nu over to her.
Xia Weibao smiled, but didn’t take it, “I’ll just have sothing simple, you order.”
“Just sothing simple?” Fang Lilin was puzzled.
He rembered her having a good appetite…
And after the main course, she still wanted to have dessert, fruit, and snacks.
Xia Weibao smiled unnaturally, “I’ve been… on a diet lately, maybe I’ll skip it, let’s discuss business first, I have sothing else to do.”
If Lu Hualiang found out she was dining with another man, he would probably be upset.
