Lu Xi looked at this group of friends from Jinjing, all of them with prestigious identities and powerful families, and he couldn't say much, so he just smiled apologetically, "Don't misunderstand, she's my cousin."
Having said that, his gaze fell upon the leading gentle girl, "I'm sorry, Zijin, I ran into my sister working here and chatted a bit longer."
The girl called Zijin nodded, "Now that you've finished, come back quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
The guys also dispersed sulkily, laughing and teasing as they headed back to the private room.
"I must say, Lu Xi's cousin is quite pretty. Don't you think, Zijin?"
The girl smiled faintly, "Is she? I hadn't noticed."

As Lu Xi was entertaining his friends, Lu Mian was also in a hurry to get back to her cooking, saying "I'm off" as she was about to leave.
