WITH public opinion now swinging in their favor, Luo Yan dug into his al at his father's chosen restaurant with full enthusiasm. The place was excellent—great atmosphere, even better food. His only gripe was that manager who kept popping up every five minutes to ask if they needed anything.
That would have been fine if she'd just done her job. But she kept subtly flirting with every guy at the table. First, it was his father who completely ignored her. Either she didn't notice or chose not to care, because she only backed off after receiving his death glare. Undeterred, she imdiately shifted her attention to Bai Ze next.
Bai Ze clearly didn't like the attention, but unlike Luo Yan's father, he couldn't be outright rude. Instead, he kept pretending to be engrossed in conversation with Shen Ji Yun every ti the manager approached him. When she gave up on Bai Ze and turned to Luo Jin, Su Yuqi smoothly cut in by casually asking when his 18th birthday was. That quickly made the manager back off.
Now the only ones left were him and Shen Ji Yun. Luo Yan had a strong suspicion the manager wouldn't approach him. He was too pretty. Won like her usually avoided n who could outshine them in the looks departnt. That ant Shen Ji Yun would be her next target.
Luo Yan nearly scoffed. Like hell he'd let that happen.
Before Luo Yan could intervene, heck, before the manager could even take a step toward their table, Shen Ji Yun turned his head just slightly, his gaze sliding over her like a shadow passing across glass. Not dismissive, not hostile. Just utterly indifferent.
Then he reached for his tea, and took a slow, deliberate sip. His eyes never left hers, but it still felt like he was not seeing her. Like she was just a part of the restaurant's wallpaper and not a person.
A beat. Then two. The manager's smile stiffened. Then, without a word, she smoothed her skirt and walked away.
Luo Yan nearly choked on his rice. Wow. That was cold. Shen Ji Yun didn't even blink.
He glanced around and realized no one else had noticed what just happened. Of course, it made sense. Neither of them had said a word, and the others at the table were too busy with their own conversations or food to pay attention. So it was just him who caught that silent exchange.
He opened his phone and quietly sent Shen Ji Yun a ssage.
[yanyan1213]: Good job. ;)
