At this thought, Le Tong’s gaze unconsciously shifted away from Luo Yifan’s face. When her eyes aimlessly turned to the door, she was stunned to see the two n, one big and one small, walking in!
Le Tong instinctively turned her face away quickly, relieved that the two n, after entering from the door, turned into the hallway leading to the private rooms. By the ti Le Tong looked back, the pair’s figures were no longer in the hall.
Le Tong involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. Luo Yifan observed her unease and panic, following her gaze toward the door, "t soone you know?"
Le Tong steadied her nerves and shook her head, "No, I mistook them for soone else."
But her expression was nothing like soone who mistook identities.
Who on earth could make her so flustered?
Luo Yifan pondered secretly but dared not ask again. Her terrifying deanor, lost in contemplation earlier, made Luo Yifan very afraid of saying sothing wrong to upset her.
Though Le Tong said she mistook soone, she unconsciously sped up her eating pace. What was originally an enjoyable al turned hurried because of those two people.
Luo Yifan thoughtfully watched Le Tong, "In a hurry? Your stomach isn’t well, eat slower."
The originally delicious al now tasted like chewing wax. Even Le Tong couldn’t figure out where her guilty feeling ca from.
Reflecting, Ji Rui was nothing special; in the Ji Family, he was the boss, but outside of work, he had no right to interfere in any of her affairs. Even if it involved Ji Baby, Le Tong could still explain and clear things up, provided Ji Rui was willing to listen and believe her.
Yet, while she thought this in her heart, she couldn’t control the rising sense of guilt, eating faster while cursing Ji Rui in her heart for making her al uncomfortable, wasting such delicious food.
"I suddenly rembered I have a report that needs to be submitted urgently; let’s find another ti to eat together at leisure," Le Tong apologized to Luo Yifan with a smile, reluctantly offering an empty promise to soothe him.
Luo Yifan wasn’t a fool; such a good opportunity wouldn’t slip away in vain.
"In that case, how about next Saturday? My brother just opened a country club on the outskirts, and you haven’t been there yet. Let’s go have fun next Saturday, okay?"
Le Tong didn’t expect Luo Yifan, who used to listen to her every word, to suddenly be so serious. But since she initiated, if she didn’t agree, it would feel dismissive.
"Okay, let’s invite Yuan’er and the others too, the more, the rrier."
"Sure, I’ll talk to Yuan’er later."
Luo Yifan thought it wouldn’t be difficult to invite them together. He could always send them away temporarily when the ti ca!
After all, for that pair of lovebirds, no amount of ti spent together would be too much.
They chatted while eating, and by the ti they finalized next week’s plan, the six dishes and one soup on the table were almost finished. Le Tong packed up the two extra desserts she ordered to bring for Wenwen and insisted on paying the bill.
"Seeing how tired you are, you go ahead, I’ll take a taxi ho."
Le Tong’s place and Luo Yifan’s apartnt were in two opposite directions, so Le Tong considerately suggested she could go ho alone.
Luo Yifan didn’t imdiately answer but checked the ti on his wrist, "It’s still early, I want to stop by the supermarket in the west area, so I’ll drop you off along the way."
With that, without waiting for Le Tong to say more, he picked up the packed desserts, "Let’s go, I’ll take you ho, otherwise these desserts will get cold."
Even knowing he might be lying, Le Tong still felt embarrassed to refuse.
"Alright."
The two walked side by side to the parking lot, originally a yard, Luo Yifan opened the passenger door, waited for Le Tong to sit inside, then closed the door, walked to the other side, got into the car, started it, and drove off.
The owner of this hostyle restaurant had converted the original courtyard into the current eatery. The open space in the center of the yard was turned into a parking lot, with various flowers and plants planted between each parking space as separators, and all the rooms around the yard were converted into private rooms.
As the car drove out of the courtyard gate, Le Tong finally breathed a full sigh of relief, unaware that the scene of her getting into the car with Luo Yifan just now was clearly seen by a little boy in a private room.
This little boy was none other than Ji Baby, who ca to dine with his daddy.
"Baby, what do you want to eat?"
Ji Rui, just out from the restroom, sat down, picked up the nu, and called out to his son, who was intently watching out the window.
Ji Baby kept his eyes fixed on the back of that car until it drove out of sight, then turned back, his dark eyes staring straight at his daddy. "Daddy, don’t you really want to introduce you to a girlfriend?"
Ji Rui was baffled by his precious son’s question. Earlier, the little guy was enthusiastically shouting about going to the aquarium tomorrow, and now, he’s talking nonsense?
Ji Rui reached out and touched Ji Baby’s forehead—no fever!
"Baby, daddy’s affairs, daddy has his own discretion!"
This little guy had recently stopped crying to mama, but instead, he had tried several tis to introduce a girlfriend to him.
But seriously, what can a five-year-old know about won?
Moreover, in this age, what woman isn’t driven by vanity and the pursuit of materialism?
Most likely, the sister his son talked about was just pretending to please him because of his son’s identity. Ji Rui thought he had no shortage of such won, no need for the kid to introduce any!
Thinking of those won with heavily made-up faces like works of art, and their pretentious flirting in front of him, Ji Rui felt a chill deep in his bones.
"Discretion, discretion, you’re just lying to Baby! All you adults are bad people!"
Ji Baby glared at Ji Rui, huffed, turned his head to look out the window, and ignored Ji Rui.
Daddy was a bad person, and so was Sister.
Didn’t she say she was just friends with Brother Yifan? So why was she dating Brother Yifan, having such a good ti—how was that just friends?
Ji Baby pouted and grew angrier as he thought about it, pulling out a phone from his small backpack, swiping the screen for a while, hesitated for a long ti, and finally, biting his lip, put the phone back in the bag.
It seed Ji Rui had gotten used to Baby’s tantrums over this matter and didn’t coax him. He just lowered his head, looking through the nu, first ordering what he liked to eat, then raised his head to glance at his son, sulking with his back to him, and asked nonchalantly,
"Baby, what do you want to eat?"
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat!"
Ji Baby turned around, shouted at Ji Rui, slid off the chair, and ran to the restroom, slamming the door shut.
