The whole group was silent. It was Qiao Weimin who reacted first and got Cheng Wu to enter the restaurant.
Throughout the meal, Wei Ling, Shen Qiongzhi, and Qiao Chen had a hard time eating. They put their chopsticks down every few mouthfuls and grew distracted.
Qiao Chen's face was pale throughout the whole process, and her head was lowered. From the time Qiao Nian and Nie Mi left until the end of the meal, she didn't say a word.

Nie Mi booked a spot by the window rather than a private room. He specially reserved a relatively quiet corner in the restaurant, where they could open the windows for some fresh air.
Qiao Nian sat on one side. As for Nie Mi and Principal Liang, one of them sat on her left while the other sat opposite her. Nie Mi ordered a lot of dishes, and a whole table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes.
