They entered the French restaurant on the second floor. Ling Yue sat in front of her two older brother's friends.
He Luo's phone rang again. He looked at the screen and waved it at Ling Yue. "Your brother is really persistent."
"Ignore him," she said without thinking. He Luo was about to put his cellphone back when the small object stopped ringing. A chat flashed on it.
[Where r u? stay there until I come]
He Luo chuckled. He really got rid of all his busy life for the sake of this beloved sister. He Luo put his cellphone in. Their order came and they ate while chatting.
"I wonder how your future husband have to face your three brothers later."
"Think about it later. Besides, if I really like someone, I will help him deal with them," Ling Yue smiled proudly.
"If it was me, I might have to think over and over again. Ling Feng is a bit scary, ahahaha ..." He Luo waved his hand, surrender.
Ling Yue looked at him then smiled. Ling Yue's gaze did not escape from Xi Jian who had been watching her from the beginning. His memory was thrown seven years ago. Before that incident, Ling Yue seemed to want to cry.
At first she was fine and then He Luo came with his new girlfriend. Why was that? This was just a guess, but Xi Jian felt Ling Yue liked his friend. He Luo folded his hands on the table and said,
"Yueyue can you get rid of your glasses?"
"Sure."
"Don't!" Xi Jian realized what he was saying, he coughed a little. "That's their weapon. If they know what you're doing, you won't get out of here alive." The three brothers always tried to hide or guard their sister, how could he let Ling Yue be exposed outside here without the escort of one of her siblings.
He Luo thought for a moment. "That's true. Ling Feng will scratch me if makes Ling Yue attract attention."
Ling Yue dumbfounded. "It doesn't have to be like that. I'm not an artist or anything that will attract people's attention." Ling Yue felt she had said these words a thousand times.
"Are you stupid? Why would they do something like that if there is no reason?" Xi Jian uttered his taunts without looking at Ling Yue.
Ling Yue closed her jaw. The lively atmosphere turned cold. He Luo immediately interceded before his friend said worse words. He could not understand why Xi Jian was not like before. "Ow, Yueyue. How's your work? Are you comfortable here?"
Ling Yue averted her killing gaze from Xi Jian. She smiled forcedly, grateful that He Luo was trying to break the ice. "Not bad. I just met a client."
He Luo nodded. "You used to be like a cat. Always shy. You can't even talk to me. But look at you now. Who would have thought we could sit and talk like friends. You're change. Without your brothers you look like a queen!"
Ling Yue's face turned red. Xi Jian saw it and became annoyed. "Yeah, stupid queen."
Whaat?
Can this person not ruin a little people's happiness?
The atmosphere that had been friendly turned into Arktik again. He Luo was saved by the ringing of his phone. He took the call and leave.
Ling Yue glared at him. Even though they only met again twice, she don't know why she felt Xi Jian didn't like her and always looked for trouble. She put down her fork and knife, folded her hands to her chest, and glared at Xi Jian.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other in a long time, but I feel like you do have a problem with me."
Xi Jian twirled the fork in his hand, leaning back casually. "I think your brain is the problem. If not, how could the little flatter make you blush like that," he said scornfully. Xi Jian forgot, women loved to be praised. In the past, he used to say sweet things to women, like Ling Yue right now, they too would smile shyly.
He Luo appeared in the middle of Ling Yue's death gaze. "Sorry, guys. I need to go now. I already paid for the food. Enjoy the rest" he excused himself, then turned again. "Oh yes, Jian, please accompany Yueyue until Ling Feng comes. He is coming here." and he left.
Ling Yue was speechless. Ling Feng was really something!
Xi Jian continued eating. For the time being no one spoke, Ling Yue became a little awkward. "Thank you for your cooperation in Mrs. Wang's case." Ling Yue did not know what to say after being left alone with Xi Jian. The talkative Xi Jian didn't say anything, making the atmosphere more awkward.
"You can leave if you have business to do." Ling Yue said again, felt dejavu.
