Chapter 17 - Meeting a Date

Song Yufei stayed in the hospital for a week before being discharged.

On the day he was discharged, Assistant Zhou was on leave. Hence, he called Mu Yao to serve him.

As soon as Song Yufei saw Mu Yao, he immediately scolded her.

"Mu Yao, you're so heartless! You're the reason I'm in the hospital! You've only come to see me once in so many days? Am I still your boss?"

These past few days, Song Yufei's heart itched every time he thought of Mu Yao without her glasses.

The models outside did not smell good either.

But Mu Yao never came to the hospital.

He had long wanted to be discharged from the hospital, so he had sent Assistant Zhou away in the morning so that Mu Yao would personally pick him up.

Hearing this, Mu Yao took out a large stack of documents from her bag.

"Boss Song, I'm the designer you hired, not your nurse."

Song Yufei glanced at the design sheets. They were all needed for the Yuan Expo's bidding.

He quickly consoled her.

"Alright, I got it. Designer Mu, you've worked hard. Okay, I'll treat you to a big meal today."

Without another word, he pulled Mu Yao into the car.

When they arrived, they realized that it was a high-end western restaurant. Mu Yao felt that it was familiar. She only realized that it was the restaurant that Lu Jinchen used to take her to when she saw the name.

"Mrs. L..."

The boss of the restaurant wanted to call Mu Yao Mrs. Lu. He could not change it.

When he noticed Song Yufei was beside Mu Yao, he stopped and quickly changed his words.

"Miss Mu, this way."

Song Yufei looked at Mu Yao suspiciously.

"Mrs. Lu? Miss Mu? What the hell is this? Mu Yao, are you familiar with this place?"

Mu Yao shook her head.

"Director Song, do I look like I come here often?"

Song Yufei subconsciously glanced at Mu Yao's clothes. She still wore the usual sweatshirt and long pants, a pair of canvas shoes that had been washed white, plus that fist-sized old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

Song Yufei shook his head in disagreement.

"Mu Yao, you're wasting god's gift by dressing like this."

Mu Yao didn't respond to him. She sat down and flipped through the menu.

"This restaurant is said to have the best food in City A. I've eaten here before, and the taste is not bad, so I brought you here to try it.

Mu Yao didn't say anything. The chefs here were good at cooking, and it was hard to get a seat without making a reservation.

After ordering, Song Yufei seemed to have thought of something and said he was going out.

Mu Yao was happy and relaxed without the annoying man around her.

She looked around, and she saw Bai Qiushui.

Bai Qiushui wore a white lady's dress and had a high ponytail. She was sitting not far from her in a very ladylike manner and looked like she was waiting for someone.

Mu Yao retracted her gaze and wondered if she should go to another restaurant.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar figure walking into the dining room.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Enemies always met each other in this small world.

Lu Jinchen's taste was unique. He used to bring her to this restaurant when they were together. Surprisingly, he brought her new girlfriend here too.

Didn't Lu Jinchen feel disgusted?

However, it made sense. Women were like clothes to him, and he liked to cheat on his girlfriend with her sister. Therefore, he would not feel disgusted or shameless.

If Mu Yao got up now and changed the restaurant, it would be too obvious.

Mu Yao thought for a moment, then changed her seat. She sat in Song Yufei's seat with her back facing the other table.

Song Yufei came in with a large bouquet of roses. He was confused when he saw Mu Yao sitting in his seat.

She noticed Lu Jinchen from the corner of her eye and understood everything.

He casually placed the roses on the table.

"I didn't expect to meet him here."

"Who is it?" Mu Yao, who was eating with her head lowered, asked subconsciously.

"Lu Jinchen."

"Director Song, are you very close to him?" Mu Yao asked indifferently.

"He was the one who hit me with his car last time." Song Yufei replied.

"What?" Mu Yao was shocked. She remembered the strange words Lu Jinchen had said and the gauze on his forehead when she met him at the hospital entrance.

"Don't misunderstand. It's my fault for not turning on the lights on the motorcycle." Song Yufei saw Mu Yao's heavy expression and quickly explained. He poured her another glass of red wine.

Lu Jinchen happened to be walking in their direction. With just one glance, he recognized that the woman with her back facing them was Mu Yao.

Lu Jinchen saw the dazzling bouquet of red roses on their table. The way Song Yufei got up and poured Mu Yao wine with a smile made Lu Jinchen's heart fill with panic.
